One of the most important things for any web site is traffic right? Without traffic (people visiting the web site) the site is basically dead and your message will not be seen by anyone.

You can spend hours and thousands of dollars to make a nice pretty web site, but if you do not focus on getting traffic to it, then what’s the point?

One of the best free ways to get traffic is to rank high in the search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing, but SEO (search engine optimization) is not always that easy to figure out.

The main problem that I see is that a lot of “SEO experts” try to make it seem a lot harder and complicated then what it actually is to rank high. Therefore a lot of web site owners do not even try that hard to learn it… but if they would, they would learn that it really isn’t that hard at all.

I do want to make sure that I say this… that getting on the first page of Google is not that complicated and the techniques themselves are not hard. But if you want to rank for a popular keyword like “make money”, than it will take a lot of time and work to do, but that work isn’t hard to do and can easily be outsourced.

However, if you want to rank high for niche keywords that are not very popular, than it can be quite easy to do without much time involved.

So then… how can you get on the first page of Google?

If you are an Internet marketer and are selling products and/or services (either your own or as an affiliate), then one good way to get nice search rankings is to follow these few steps;

1. Set up a blog on the niche topic,
2. Configure the blog for SEO,
3. Post content with the product name as the title and mention it throughout the content.

Those 3 steps can rank you pretty high for product specific names that people are looking for more information on.

As you can see, this idea is not hard to understand, and not hard to implement either. If you are promoting affiliate products (digital or physical) or if you have your own products, use the name of those products as your post titles and in the content… how hard is that?

I have been doing this for a while now with info product names and I regularly rank on the first page (if not one of the first 3 listings) in Google
