Natural Search Engine Optimization
Believe it or not, there is a lot of manipulation that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to ranking highly for desired search terms. Despite the trickery, natural search engine optimization is a much better route to take as the results will likely be longer lasting. Before we delve into the great ways to increase your rankings, it's important to discuss the less than desirable methods that can lead you astray.
The first thing you want to stay away from is much of the automated software. While it certainly is the Internet marketing dream to make money without having to lift a finger, many of the automated techniques are simply spam and clutter and are quickly discovered by the search engines. This includes auto scraped content that doesn't even make sense much less draw readership to it! You can find yourself dropped out of the search rankings faster than you probably thought possible by using such junk content. Hands-off is not always the best way!
Another thing to stay away from is automated blog commenting. There is the caveat that some people find this useful to quickly find the latest blog posts to comment on. There are some uses that are probably okay (like that one), but for the most part you should steer clear of it. Blog owners can tell when the content is not related and will not allow your comments to begin with. Even though this is a hands-off effort, it is completely wasted.
Now for the methods you SHOULD use! The absolute best way to make use of natural search engine optimization is to create quality content. That way you will become well known within the niche and people will naturally link to you. This is what Google and other search engines want to see!
They want to see consistent readership by way of quality content. Every time another website links to you, it is considered to be a vote for your website. If you consistently have good content that gets linked to, it will be clear that you have a lot of votes and you'll start to rank highly. This is where the true hands-off earning comes in!
There are other methods that are considered to be more natural and are okay in the eyes of many marketers. These are not completely natural as there is some manipulation of the rankings according to the most "pure" marketers. This includes exchanging links with other people, writing articles for more backlinks, and submission to directories. You'd be hard-pressed to find a popular site that doesn't utilize a least some of these techniques.
Natural search engine optimization techniques can get you a lot further than manipulative and automated testing. You'll get longer lasting results, which is worth your time and can bring you have a lot more money in the long run.
