“If you optimize it and it’s relevant for the
keyword, it’s probably going to rank.”
~ Liana Evans,

I attended a writing conference in 2012 where I attended a
workshop by author Megan Breedlove. Megan’s website has held the number 1
ranking spot for multiple keywords on Google for several years, so I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. She said that getting a higher up Google
ranking isn't about just one thing, but several things working together.
Here’s
a list she gave us of contributing factors:
* Whether or not you are meeting the
needs of your websites visitors
* Whether or not you continue to meet
their needs
* Keywords
* How often your homepage is updated -
keep it fresh changing links, content, etc. monthly
* How often your website content is
updated - updating content weekly gives you a boost
* Linkbacks - having other people link
to your site is the #1 way to raise your Google ranking
* Website contents - be sure to
include contact info and an about you section
* Google SEO and XML site map
Marketing prompt:
Spend some time on optimizing your website or blog. If you need some help on this, we're actually covering this topic in more detail this month in the membership community that I lead. You can get more information on that at: http://products.self-publishing-coach.com/success
