Now that the holidays have come and gone, we're all evaluating what our new year is going to look like. While you're considering your many new years resolutions, I'd like to encourage you to set some resolution aside for search engine position for your website. Its going to be some hard work but with enough time, you can get your website to the top of the search engines for all of your target keywords. You'll be making money in no time and not have to pay a search engine marketing firm to get you there. Here are 3 easy strategies to apply to the website you build with WebStarts to get higher search engines position in 2012:

1. Evaluate Your Website and Make a Strategy

One big mistake that people make after they build a website and try to get search engine position is lack of planning. You can have as much time and ambition as you want but without knowing where you are going with your seo, you are not going to get where you want to be.

Start with an article like this one_ How to choose keywords. Once you know your keywords, you'll know where to start. You'll know what to start writing about and what to set as your page titles and descriptions. You wouldn't start driving without knowing where you're going, don't start trying to optimize for the search engines without knowing where you're going.

2. Fill the Gaps

When you first built a website and started getting on the search engines, you did the very basics. You need to go back over those basics to make sure you aren't missing anything. Things like page titles, descriptions, and keywords need to be setup properly. Make sure your content is keyword rich and reflects the titles, descriptions and keywords. Look around for updated basics as well. Things change every year and you need to keep up with the times.

3. Produce Content

This is most important strategy you need to adopt and adopt now. Keep a consistent flow of content coming from your domain. Start a blog or just put articles on your pages. It doesn't have to be any special blog format or anything like that. Simply put out relevant content. Share this content on the web with your friends and family first, then everywhere else on the web that will take your articles. A new tip for 2012 is to focus on videos and images. With internet connections becoming faster and people becoming less apt to read a long article, consider putting out youtube videos and relevant images to get attention from the less patient crowd. A youtube video that is 3-5 minutes can quickly be digested without too much investment and a funny or interesting image can be digested with almost no investment. This is the direction the web seems to be going so Google will reward you for it. Start producing content today... nay... this very minute.

Imagine where you could be in January of 2013 if you just applied these strategies with a little bit of determination. Since WebStarts is built from the ground up for you to build a website and get on the search engines, you can trust that your work will not be in vain. Thanks for reading!
