These search engine optimization tips can help you to get free traffic for your website. Unlike PPC listings where you can pay to get to the top, you cannot 'buy' organic listings from search engines like Google. The only way that you can get high Google rankings is through search engine optimization

If you get high rankings in Google, it will put your site in front of a lot of new potential customers. Here are 2 ways to use to optimize your site.

Search Engine Optimization Tips #1: Target The Right Keywords

One of the most important steps in SEO, is to choose the right keywords to optimize for. Keep in mind that finding the right keywords is not just based on search volume alone. Your competitors will also try and optimize for these keywords, so you need to take note of the competitiveness of keywords.

Try to find long tail keywords with high search volumes and low competition. Use a keyword research tool to find the perfect key phrases.

Search Engine Optimization Tips 2: Article Marketing

Article directories like EzineArticles can help you to build natural links to your site. It's relatively easy to write a 300-400 word article and will only take a few minutes to submit to article directories.

Try to put your keywords you're optimizing for at the beginning of the article, 1-2 times in the middle and perhaps at the end of the article. Remember to maintain a keyword density of 5% or less to make sure that you do not become guilty of keyword stuffing.

Underline your keywords or make it bold, italicized so that your keywords get ranked even better.

And as I've discussed in previous articles that the more quality links you get pointed to your site, the more Google will value your site.
