1. SEO education - build Your knowledge base

Don’t You even try to guess SEO techniques if You don’t know anything about SEO. Try to attend online SEO courses and SEO schools at first. Very few universities prepare professional SEO courses, so choosing right online education site is left to You. I recommend starting from Aaron Walls “Seo Book” (why? try entering “seo book” in google). Subscription costs 100 $ monthly.

Don’t be afraid of the great amount of information on SEO posts and in forum (which is open to subscribers only).

2. Searching for business niche

Yesterday You just heard about META description, keywords, link building and other simply SEO strategies. Now try to search for business idea: adsense, adwords, blog, education portal or something else.

Recently I found very interesting post about top web businesses. It seems that blogs became means for business. Hope that You’ll find your own market very quickly or maybe make some explorations in little markets.

3. Explore little local markets

If You have possibility to run local sites on Your local language it is very useful thing. Try finding lack of products, services in local market, search engine market and offer these services in your own little test sites.

This experience:

• helps understand how quickly new keyword can be found;
• helps learn complexity of bigger markets – multiplied 100 times;
• builds page rank of this little site (in case You used legal SEO techniques);
• makes You hungry of global market :)

My x-perience:
First I explored my little local (lithuanian) market and I wondered how it was easy to enter it. But after two months of work there results showed me that SEO practices help. Even with this knowledge and experience I couldn’t enter global search market only advertising products.

Don’t be afraid of returning to step 1. Learn and evaluate SEO techniques practically and periodically. Don’t try all techniques at a time. Think about these that are close to Your business idea.

4. A C T I O N

So, You started the first project. Don’t forget there is no SEO technique which will make Your site visible in a second. There are gigabytes of traffic on global web, global web market is overfilled. Be patient and wait as I said in previous post – till the first Google query :) Or find needed SEO update…

But there is one must - be technique, what can help build Your site traffic and Your reputation. Because web or accurately saying – web 2.0 – is about people relations, don’t forget to communicate – Digg, Twitter, Facebook, Myspace etc. Communicating, interacting with people attracts attention. And if so – it creates more clicks.

Be innovative, study hard and don’t ever think that You know everything about the web and SEO. No one knows everything about web, because we are the web :)
