Basic SEO for Mini Site

Welcome back!

SEO or search engine optimization is one of the most fundamental methods when it comes to driving traffic to your website. For a mini site, it becomes even more critical to know about basic SEO because your products are probably being searched on the Internet and you want to make sure your site appears where people can see where they are.

Here are a few things you must do in order to drive traffic to your minisite.

Basic SEO for mini sites consist of high authority backlinks. A backlink is a link that points to your mini site, preferably with the right anchor text which is important for the right kind of keyword you would want to target. Your choice of keywords or anchor text will determine the kind of ranking you will get for the right keyword even if your mini site is brand spanking new. But only links with a ‘do-follow’ count. Links with a ‘no-follow’ tag is only useful for traffic but isn’t useful for SEO purposes because the Google spider doesn’t follow through those links.

You can get high authority thinks from website directories, article directories, Squidoo and other Social bookmarking sites.

Good social bookmarking sites include:

  • Digg
  • Technorati
  • Propeller
  • Stumble Upon
  • Blinklist
  • Delicious

And many others…

Getting links from article directories is very easy, all you need to do is to outsource article writing to a ghostwriter for three dollars and for an extra dollar, you can get them to submit the article to 5 or more article directories for you. As more and more people re-publish your article, you will get viral traffic and viral links as well hence boosting your search engine rankings tremendously.

Squidoo is also a very good place to get authority backlinks because of their high page rank. It is sometimes even easier to get your lens approved compared to article directories because all you need to do is add a lot of components or modules to it. 

Furthermore, you can get people to blog about you and get links from them as well. You can purchase sponsored reviews so you. You can get the bloggers to target the right kind of keywords for you as they write a review on your website.

Other basic SEO you must know includes following an ethical code of relevancy. Don’t get links from unrelated sites… Google isn’t stupid and sometimes, your mini site could be checked out by a human administrator.

At the end of the day, you must be consistent and persistent in SEO because those with the most high PR backlinks for the right keywords would usually get better rankings.
