Organic SEO - The New Messiah For Webmasters
By Titus Hoskins (c) 2006

Organic SEO seems to be the catch phrase of the moment.
However, unlike many other linking tactics and strategies,
this one actually works.

What is Organic SEO or Organic Search Engine Optimization?

Explained simply, it's where all your linking structures
originate from the content up - in other words, you let
all your content created for your sites, blogs and articles
do your link building for you.

Actually, the answer is as simple as this article. You're
probably experiencing one of the best examples of Organic
SEO right this moment by reading this article. Article
marketing is pure Organic SEO. You let your article and
your author's resource box build one-way links from related
niche sites back to your site.

But the keyword is content. You must create high quality
original content for this system to really develop and
flourish. The better the content, the faster your rankings
and traffic will grow. By producing valuable content in
articles, sites and blogs, you are building real traffic
and real links that the search engines salivate over. And
they will reward your site with higher rankings and even
more traffic.

Try Article Writing...

Frankly, I was rather surprised at the effectiveness of
article writing. It seems like such a benevolent little
creature. You write about your own experiences on the
subject of your site or blog, keeping your articles short,
around 500 to 800 words, although some of my best
performing articles have been longer, about 900 to 1200
words.

I have only written about 60 articles. But the benefits
have been enormous; spreading my content all over the web
and building one-way links back to my sites and blogs. Some
of these articles like the ones in Addme.com or
Webpronews.com get archived and will provide good deep PR
links for years to come.

There are a few techniques I use to extend the
effectiveness of my articles. First, I always start with a
keyword or keyword phrase that I want to target with a
particular article. I do major, major, major research on my
article's keywords, using sites like nichebot.com,
overture.com, and a few others.

I check how much competition there is for the keywords.
Combining a new keyword with ones you already have
positioned high for in the search engines works well. For
example, I have optimized my site for the keyword 'Free',
it appears throughout my site. When I introduce a new
keyword phrase I sometimes combine it with Free. Pick the
right keyword combination and you will gain an edge over
your competition more quickly.

Always put your keyword phrase into the title of your
article. I also make it a habit of not picking the top
keywords in a niche, I go for middle ranked keywords - I am
better assured that I will rank on the first page SERPs for
these lower keywords. Why waste valuable time shooting for
the stars when you can easily land on the moon!

I submit my articles mainly to a short list of online
article directories ( ezinearticles.com, buzzle.com,
isnare.com, goarticles.com, ideamarketers.com, and
articlealley.com ) these work the best for me. These sites
rank well in the search engines and even though the surfer
may go to another site to read your article first, it then
delivers a much more warmed up and targeted visitor to your
own site.

Other webmasters from your niche will pick up your high
quality articles and place them on their sites. Organically
growing more related one-way links to your site. Google
looks very favorably on these one-way links and will reward
your site for having them.

Article marketing is one Organic SEO tactic every website
should be using.  Instead of paying high prices for seo
services, why not write or hire someone to create keyword
rich articles for your site. The benefits will surprise you.

Try Blogging...

Blogs are another form of Organic SEO. It also builds links
and traffic to your site the natural way - by providing
valuable content.

For those marketers and webmasters who practice Organic
SEO, the free blogging systems are a godsend. A skilled
marketer can legitimately use these online blogging
programs to boost their site's rankings, traffic and
income. What more can any online marketer or webmaster ask
for?

I use numerous blogs to complement my sites. I base these
blogs on the major keywords of my sites. For example, one
section on my main Internet Marketing site examines laptop
computers, I created a blog with Bloglines.com covering the
same topic. Although all the content is different from what
you will find on my main site.

I also use Blogger.com because it's owned by Google and is
very simple to use. I find posting my weekly ezine on
Blogger adds another way I can get my message out to my
subscribers. Not to mention, all the linking and pinging a
blog brings into play.

I also use the open source software and system, WordPress
for another of my blogs on marketing. This is a php
database supported program that was a lot less easier to
set up on my site than I first expected. It's one of the
best blogging systems I have worked with and is highly
favored by the search engines. If you're not using it - try
it.

In addition, I have just started using LiveJournal for
another blog and that system is also very easy to use. I
usually post to my blogs once or twice a week, just short
helpful tips or links that a visitor or search engine would
be interested in. Keep in mind, all these free blogging
sites are PR9 or PR10, which has to count for something.

Spam has become a problem with many of these blogging
systems, I now usually block all comments or moderate them.
All this spam just goes to show how effective getting links
in related blogs can bolster your rankings for competitive
keywords.

I have found blogging to be a very effective tool for
getting your keywords indexed and ranked very quickly. I
also like to use blogs for those golden double-header
listings in the SERPs, preferably at the number 1 and 2
spots! That's where you get two listings from your site for
a certain keyword on the first page, this I find, brings in
a lot more traffic than a single listing.

In art there is something called the Golden Section, a
perfect proportion that works magic into any painting or
picture. It is an organic and natural effect that appears
everywhere in our world. For webmasters, having your site
listed 1 and 2 for your keywords has to be another form of
the Golden Section, made especially for us.

In that same light, Organic SEO is a natural and effective
way for webmasters to grow their links and rankings.
Articles and blogs are two special tools we can use to
further that natural growth. Create your own Golden Section
and give the search engines something to talk about by
trying Organic SEO. Build your links and rankings the
natural way.

Your site's salvation is only a keystroke away!
