Targeted Traffic! This is internet marketing in a nutshell.a lot of people will tell you it is the coding, this is false. i can use yahoo sitebuilder and get seo traffic to it. there are a few things search engines look for on a site for ranking factors.

You have to remember, you are using a site for S-A-L-E-S. it is a matter of putting the site in front of enought targeted customers. and the best way is keyword related.

Pitch is fine, but if someone is looking for "horse shoes" and does a direct search for it, they are already interested. once you eliminate the browsers, you get a buyer. the net's average is about 1% conversion rate. So, if you need 10 sales a day, you need 1 k visitors a day. it is simple math.

A link on a dogfood site will not generate horse shoe sales. Period.

This is the essence of targeted traffic.

It does not matter if it is PPC or SEO, if you are not targeting by keywords, you are wasting your time.

There is no luck involved, and SEO experiments are to disprove a new lie by a marketer. SEO is a simple and common sense process that anyone can do.

I have never done an seo experiment to prove something right, just to disprove false claims.

Stop reading places like webmaster world and seo roundtable. over analysis creates confusion, they are Marketing sites, plain and simple.

seo is basicaly title, h tags, bold and italics on keywords in content and then 80% targeted and properly anchored links.

Stop the insanity and keep it simple. There is room for everyone here on this forum to make a good living.

It has absolutely nothing to do with luck. It is all about simple math.

Let me ask you a question. What would you rather have, a site that is bang up with great pitches, coding blah, blah, blah... or an average site with 2 k visitors a day that are targeted by keyword?????

This is about common sense, not luck or voodoo, or even palm readers predictions.

If you want seo traffic, find the top sites for your targets and do what they do plus a little more and you will beat them. A search engine is a program, it does not get mad, feel sorry for you or someone else, does not care about color schemes. It ranks sites according to the program.

want the basics of seo? search for brad callens ebook SEO made easy. it will teach you basics. and this is all most anyone needs.

Do not do link exchanges, use articles or read my other post. there is enough info on this forum for you to put a complete seo program togather that works. There is enough help here to teach you to fish, but until you pick up the pole, you will catch no fish. and this i can promise.
