Do You Depend On Google Searches?

The saying "don't put all your eggs in one basket" comes to mind IF you depend solely on Google searches. With constant changes in their algorithm you can be listed on the first page one day and the 1000 page a month later. No don't get discouraged, sometimes it is a shift that will be adjusted and you will see yourself back in that spot, other times it is website owners who are working their sites and it starts to pay off, or....

Work Your Site?

Yep! As much as it would be nice to just upload the site and wait for traffic that is just not going to happen.

First - focus. Take a broad key phrase and narrow it. As an example, as a web designer if I type in 'web site design' in Google I get 1,090,000,000 results . Being found for 'web site design' is so broad I would be lucky (to say the least) if I was in the top 10. But narrow it down to 'web designer Canada' I get 126,000,000 results. Yes of course still daunting, and this is not what I target for, but you can see what I am saying.

So yes absolutely work your site for search engine searches but don't rely on them completely. You need to work your website and that means starting a blog (or two), submit articles, social networking, etc.
