How I got page 1 for the search term “soccer tricks” in Google

At first I couldn’t believe either and I almost thought that’s impossible! But I needed more exposure for my site to increase my adsense revenue and also increase my readership. It was way back in September 2006 when I first started a Freestyle Soccer Tricks blog. So I began reading all the articles about internet marketing and more importantly on how to increase targeted traffic to my blog. One thing I noticed is that for search engine optimization to be successful, there are two types of inbound links, organic and artificial links. Inbound links from other sites to your blog or website are natural links like for example, links from ezine websites. Artificial links is when you request a link exchange from other websites. Now I’m not a big fan on artificial links because you need credibility to earn links from other websites plus even if there are other sites that are willing to exchange with you, they might be desperate or spam.

So I chosed on building links in an organic fashion. I knew it was a long term journey to get my website to the top. One of the ways to get more inbound links is to submit more genuine articles at ezine websites and link using the resource box available. Writing articles can be tough for the first time and especially if English is not your mother tongue language. But let me emphasise that writing is not about your english grammer skills but it comes more from your heart. You just write simply from what you think is right and express it.

If you’ve those two qualities, then you’re ready to go. But there’s one thing that always goes through my mind, and I mean always, ” where do I start ?”. I normally face this problem time and time again. But until I bought Jim Edwards Turn Words Into Traffic, things began to change gradually. I can honestly admit that there are tons of information and ebooks you can get on the internet. But one thing that distinguish Turn Words Into Traffic from the rest is it’s simplicity and effectiveness. It’s not just the step by step approach but also gets you start writing your favourite articles immediately.

Here’s a fact about this book, Turn Words Into Traffic will get you start writing articles immediately but not producing a perfect article unless you’re a genius! Yes, it took time for me to get a 5 star vote in one of the ezine websites. Finally after about four months I received on average a 4 star votes in one of the ezine websites Ezine Article.

The amount of viewers ( 7116 times ) is quite staggering and imagine if say 30% of them went to your website. So as I finish writing an article, I’d open an Article Submitter Pro software to submit my article to a list of ezine directories. I usually do this at 7 o’clock in the morning and spend about 15 to 30 minutes submitting my finished article to ezine sites. The great thing about using the Article Submitter Pro software is it’s user friendly and makes submitting articles easy, fast and they even explain it using videos step by step. Of course,  the downfall is that some sites have problem reloading their pages otherwise the software is great.

It took around 5 months to get a Page Rank of 2 in my blog, http://soccer-tricks.blogspot.com. So start your blogging or internet marketing day by writing articles and submit them to ezine sites. All the best !
