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.

7 Methods To Drive Traffic To Your Mini-site

A mini-site is a very good way to capture leads and get sales for your Internet marketing business. It is also very useful to help you to dominate any niche market. However, a mini site without a good amount of traffic is useless, just like a big restaurant without a good location.

In order to drive traffic, the most important thing you need to do is NOT to bog yourself down by learning how to become a traffic generation expert but simply by executing the ‘traffic steps’ to get people to your website.

Here are 7 popular methods you can use to get traffic:

1. Search Engine Optimization. When you want your sites to rank on Google, you can target certain keywords by anchor texting them using a simple HTML tag called <a href>. The more links (with the anchor text) you have, the better your chances of getting ranked on the search engines.

2. Article marketing. Article marketing is a good way to drive targeted traffic, all you need to do is write an article or get someone to do it for you. Then, in the author resource box, just simply point to your mini-site and you can easily leverage on the article directory’s traffic.

3. Pay Per Click or PPC. Simply the fastest way to make money – just simply buy clicks from Google and watch as traffic floods its way to your website. You must do proper keyword research, however because you don’t want to burn a hole in your wallet.

4. Press Releases. You can write a press release and submit them to a press release site. This method allows you to announce to your audience that you have released something new and people will want to see what it is all about.

5. Blogging. Blogging is simply one of the easiest ways to connect with your reader and drive traffic to your mini-site. You can use banners or blog posts to send traffic there. The best thing about it is that it allows others to let their guard down. Blogging in a less ‘sales pitchy’ sort of way helps you to connect with them on a personal level.

6. Forum marketing. You can go on a popular forum like the Warrior Forum and post a special offer that people can read about it and buy your product there.

7. Viral marketing. You can write E-books and use private label rights or master resell rights. These books will be circulated around the Internet and you can get traffic when people click on the links in the book.
