Dont Buy SEO Elite
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the dream of every webmaster. Webmasters know the value of getting good ranking on the search engines that can give their sites free targeted traffic for a long time. SEO is a long process that can take a couple of months before you will see any results. But it is worth it.
First let me explain in simple terms what SEO is. SEO means that you optimize each page of your website with a title tag, description tag, keywords tag and H1, H2 headers for a particular keyword. The content of the page should not have more than a 4% keyword density.
This is known as On Page Optimization. The search engines like it. But they love the number of quality back links that your site and that particular web page gets from other authority sites. This is called Off Page Optimization. The more quality back links your site gets, the higher it will get ranked.
Let me be frank, both On Page and Off Page Optimization requires hard work for a few months. There is no shortcut. Google does not like reciprocal links.
Many people want to take short cut to SEO. They download Black Hat SEO eBooks thinking that these black hat techniques may give them success. Nothing is further from the truth. Search engines dont like black hat techniques.
Black Hat SEO short cut is not good. It may work for sometime but the search engines will find it and ban your site. Other people buy SEO software. There are many available online. SEO Elite is one such software.
SEO Elite is expensive. It only tells you how many websites are linking back to your site. And what is the ranking of your site for a particular keyword. It does not help you in link building and it does not help you in on page optimization.
In my opinion, you need not waste few hundred dollars on such SEO software. Google gives you the resources that does these things free for you.
Open a Google Account and register your website at Google Webmaster Tools. Submit a sitemap of your site. Within days Google will index your site. When you add new pages, Googlebot will get notified and index that page in a few hours.
In the Google Webmaster tools, you will find the link Search Queries. Click on this link. It will show you the keywords for which your website had been ranked in the past week.
Click on: link:http://www.yourdomain.com on the Google Webmaster Tools page and you will find the backlinks that Google is counting for your site. If Google is not counting a backlink, it has no value.
Now, isnt this method better than purchasing SEO Elite? If you advertise on Google Adwords than you can use Google Analytics as well for your site free!
Google Analytics is a great free tool provided by Google that tells you everything. How many visitors visited your site on a given day, the countries from where the search was made even the cities, how much time they had time spent on the site, their referral path, the bounce rate that your site had, how many pageviews per visitor; keywords they used to find your site on the search engines, how many direct visitors and how many referring sites are giving you visitors.
