Is Your Site Getting Votes But Wasting Traffic?


One of the most important ways to optimize your site and get good rankings with search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and MSN is to get links coming into your site. Think of links to your site as votes — if you have a lot of links coming to you, that says “this site is important”. And common SEO practice is to create inbound links for many different keywords from several types of sites – the more popular the better.

But . . . once visitors arrive at your site, it can’t throw away that traffic by not being structured correctly. And although your content should mention your keywords, it can’t be so keyword dense that it’s written for machines.

A simple analogy is through word-of-mouth getting a lot of people excited about coming to a store grand opening for a shoe boutique and when crowds of people arrive they discover you’re a clothing store with a rack of shoes in the back. If you’ve got links relevant to shoes, then make sure your site sells plenty of shoes.
