Assuming you’re using WordPress,,, there are some plugins that take care of the SEO for you.
The back links that were already mentioned will help your ranking but you’ll get your back links from very informative and relevant content.
You now have to be very careful about your content however since Google changed their algorithms.
You can’t just go stuffing your site willy nilly with any and all content.
Google will ding the crap out of you.
You need to stick to one subject and one only and post relevant content for that subject.
You of course could post content that is related to your subject.
Since you’re learning, you can save yourself a ton of money and frustration by checking out www.website-tonight.org

If you are an internet marketer, this change likely affects you in some way. EzineArticles, for example, has been the classic “easy” whitehat linkbuilding strategy many marketers have applied. Write a couple ezinearticles, send a couple links, and end up with a pretty decent backlink. I can’t comment on whether Google has lessened the link authority given from sites like Buzzle, Hubpages, and EzineArticles, but I suspect the links may not be worth as much. But we’ll have to see how things pan out over time, since MANY sites on the web have backlinks from at least one of the content farms on the list. The spank may end up affecting a lot of small sites and marketers promoting their domains via these sites. I pity the poor EzineArticle bum marketers who ONLY made money by promoting stuff via ezinearticles.

If you’ve been using hubpages to make some coin, you’ll be directly affected by these changes. Hubs, according to some of the stats out there, lost a significant amount of ranking.

In the one link I’ve given, the data shows hubpages went from 150k ranking keywords to around 50k ranking keywords. That’s a pretty big loss right there. EzineArticles, you will note, also had a big drop. I suspect they are going to lose 50% of all impressions over the next month. The owners are pretty much freaking out at this point and are now dead set on making ezinearticles too draconian for anyone to actually bother posting an article there. Interestingly enough, eHow (the one site that’s been getting a lot of bad press as being the king of content farms) didn’t get touched. In fact, it’s actually doing better with the update, and that’s not even counting the fact that most of eHow’s competitors have been knocked out of the competition at this point.

Do some keyword research. Use Google Adwords to search for non-competitive highly searched keywords in Google and write articles to get single links to create a buzz about your blog. Then start doing blogroll trades on your blog to get higher rankings. It may seem like not that much, but just putting your blog’s url on a couple of high quality sites (ie Ezinearticles.com) is a huge step in gaining traffic.

If you want to strengthen the popularity and increase the rank of your business website, you have to dedicate time and effort of optimizing it. There are two types of search engine optimization. Any optimization efforts that has something to do with the actual website, that’s what you call on-pag optimization. It involves incorporating proper keyword terms in the title tag, body text, header tags, anchor text in links to the pages of your website. You can also use keyword terms in image filenames and page names. As for off-site optimization, it is the process of promoting your website as you leverage other websites and web properties. You do not need to touch anything on your website if you’re doing some off page optimization. To mention some, it includes link building, social media promotion, article marketing and social networking marketing. Both on-site and off-site criteria are applied to manipulate a website page’s rank in search results and both are equally important. If you choose to only focus on one of those criteria, then you’ll not be able to take full advantage of the optimization process. Both of them requires hardwork and time. Every Search Engine differs from its counterpart and has follows distinctive criteria on the way they rank a website. Their specific criteria changes from time to time that is why it is quite difficult to keep up with them. Thus, being the owner of a website, it is important to know the advantages of search engine optimization. Without having your website optimized, it’s just like nondescript collection of electrons. Many SEO experts have already wrote and published some ingredients that can make a contribution for an internet site to rank in search results. Actually, we don’t really need to get all of it right… We only need to understand some of it and learn how to execute it properly so that we rank well by applying the most relevant keyword phrases that identify our niche. There are a couple of web pages which speak to this issue better than I can. I posted one of these web pages below.

There are two ways to use SEO to help your organization. One is reliable and effective, the other is a glorious crap shoot that usually fails but is wonderful when it works. I’ll start with the second.

The most common way to use search engine optimization is to find a keyword (like “plumbing”) and do whatever you can to ‘own’ that word on Google. This is Google as the Yellow Pages (with free ads).

The Yellow Pages are terrific for plumbers, because if you need a plumber, that’s where you’re going to look. Buy the biggest ad, be the first listing, you get calls. Google is a revelation because it’s a super Yellow Pages and it’s free! The problem: how to be the first listing, because being the 40th listing is fairly worthless.

The answer: You probably won’t be. There are 14 million matches for Plumber, and no, you won’t be #1 or #2. You lost. In fact, in just about every keyword worth owning, your chances are winning are small.

(To the .00001% of the people reading this who win–congratulations. You can ignore this post.)

This method is so appealing because it’s all about converting the non-converted. For free, you show up in front of people who didn’t know about you and you get your shot to convert them. This is the marketer’s dream.

Am I saying it’s not worth trying to win? Of course not. If you can give it a shot for the right set of keywords and not spend too much or count too much on winning, then go for it. But the other method is a lot more compelling (and, yes, you can do both at the same time).

The other way to use SEO is a bit more organic. (Let’s call it the White Pages approach). It involves owning a keyword that you already own. Do a search on ShoeMoney in Google and you’ll find 340,000 matches. Wanna guess who’s first? ShoeMoney. Why is this surprising? After all, he invented the word and he owns the domain.

Someone hears about Jeremy’s site from a friend or from a blog or from some other source. They want to visit his site and they type it into Google. He told me that he gets five times as much traffic from this search term as any other on Google.

The power of this technique is that with determination and patience, you will certainly win. It requires inventing a trademark and then building a business or service or organization around this trademark that people actually talk about. You want to be able to say to someone, “just type ____ into Google.”

Obviously, the only people who will do this have heard about you in some other way. So this is an amplification and word of mouth strategy, not a blue sky conversion play.

Here’s the math:
If you are lucky enough to ‘win’ at traditional Yellow Pages SEO, you might convert a few percentage points of the traffic you get into customers. On the other hand, if you win at White Pages SEO, if you win because people talk about your unique take and use your name, you convert just about everyone. Think about that… if someone types Seth into Google, they’re probably looking for me, and so when they arrive here, they stay, because they found me. If, on the other hand, they type in Cow, most of the people who end up here aren’t looking for my book, so they leave.

David Meerman Scott owns the word ‘Meerman’. I have no idea if he uses his middle name in real life, but it sure helps him online. Scott Ginsberg owns the term ‘nametag scott’. You get the idea. It’s like owning the perfect domain, via Google.

When you start to win at the White Pages strategy, it turns out that this helps you win at both. Your blog or site gets more organic traffic, which will organically raise your Google results for other words and phrases.

Step by step:

1. Make an incredible product, offer a remarkable service.

2. Associate a unique term or trademark with it. (Something that isn’t generic, and preferably, not a crowded search term already).

3. Assuming that you do #1 and #2, you’ll end up owning that word in the search engines. If you don’t, revisit the first two steps.

The hard part, of course, is making something people choose to talk about. The good news is that this is under your control, which is better than the alternative.
