2. Make sure your website or blogs are develop 2 weeks before registering with the publisher program. This mean you need to have at list 15 to 20 post or articles in it to facilitate account approval.

3. Do your market and keyword research to prepare a list of search terms you can target with your content. Be specific, that way you can generate good results in a short period of time.

4. Start writing your articles, to ensure success be sure to write original quality content for each of your posts. This will help you pump targeted traffic from Google.

So, avoid buying those type of products. If you do, at least re-write the content to make it original.

5. Every time you post new content on your blog, ping it to have it distribute to multiple directories at once, share your post on your social profiles (Facebook - Twitter), and submit it social bookmarking sites. Here some ping sites you can use:

10. Let's begin with on-page SEO which is making sure your site content and structure is search engine friendly. Here are a few thing that you need to do to improve your ranking:

Add 'Meta Tags' to each page or post.
Use 'anchor text' for every link with the proper keyword.
Link to relevant pages in and out of your site.

Be sure the title of your post shows first on search result, not the sites name.

Google analytic tool is one of the best tools out there and it work with almost any type of CMS (content management software). This data can tell what keywords your audience used to get to your site and will also teach what are they really looking for, so you can create content relevant to their wants and needs.
