On this page, we display Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing advice, hints and tips, small articles. and sometimes even
quotes or words of wisdom by colleagues in the SEO community. (These will be in addition to our regular articles, EasySEO articles, or blogs). We plan
to update 2 - 3 times per week.
New SEO tips will appear in no particular order but we think there is a good chance you'll find them useful. Don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, comments, or criticism. If you want some questions answered by a live human, we can set up a free consultation session, no strings attached. SEO Trump is here to help with professional services. |
This tip is a little shorter but really important. Of course, our other tips are important, too :), but this one tends to get forgotten, sometimes even by SEO Consultants, so watch this one:
Be patient. Repeat: be patient.
Whether trying yourself to optimize, or choosing an SEO Consultant, take your time building your optimization system.
Less obvious and therefore even more important: be patient when waiting for the fruits of your labor. SERPs and PRs don't happen overnight.
True, if (if!) you are really well optimized or if your keywords aren't that competitive, you should see encouraging SERPs within a few weeks. (However, don't even think about those "Page 1 within 48 hours" fairy tales or, shall we say, scams). Then you can continue building on those promising results.
But for Google Page Rankings, you may have to wait many months. Even once you are the proud owner of a PR=2, for example, you'll only increase gradually, and only with good top-up work.
And don't rest on your laurels. Continue improving your SEO. One more thing: your competitors aren't sleeping, and search engines keep modifying their rules and algorithms all the time, so be ready for setbacks. Hopefully they'll be temporary but setbacks will come, and you'll need even better SEO to overcome them.
So, as above: work hard, be patient, and you'll be rewarded. |
