SEO is optimizing your site so that is looks good to the top search engines such a Google, Bing and Ask. There are many ways to optimize your site for the search engines so that you move up the rankings for the keywords you are competing for. One good tip for beginners when it comes to SEO is to source incoming links.

Incoming links are links to your website from other websites. For example, if you have a blog post and a link to your blog post shows up on a dozen other blogs, those are all one-way incoming links that people who read those blogs might follow to yours. The most obvious benefit of this is that you'll get increased traffic. However, this is a special type of traffic: targeted.

Use RSS Feeds - RSS or Really Simple Syndication allows you to share your headlines and other web site content with other sites. When another web site uses your RSS feed to display headlines it will automatically place a link to your site. The more web sites that subscribe to your RSS Feed, the more links you receive that point back to your site thus increasing your link popularity.

Reciprocal Linking - Link unto others as you would have them link unto you. One of the best ways to get on the radar of other bloggers is to talk (and to) them on your own blog. Generous out linking has a way of having pay offs to those doing the linking.

Another way to get good quality incoming links without linking back is to use and take part in as many discussion groups and forums as you can. Make sure you us the signature feature and add a link to your website using your targeted keywords in the signature. Each time you post in a forum you will be leaving behind a link to your web site.

Submit to web sites and blogs

Add your article to your own web site or blog. If you've already submitted it to an article directory modify it a little by changing the title and a few paragraphs. Through these small modifications you create another unique article that garners traffic and the search engines will rank it accordingly. It avoids being recognized as duplicate content.

Finally, one more way to get incoming links to your site is through reciprocal link exchanges. This is basically trading links with other sites. Before you start you will want to set up a directory page on your site to host links from other sites. The url would look something like this: yoursite.com/directory.html. Tip: try and trade links with other sites who are related to yours.
