Here are 5 tips to get you started.


According to Google, the Google search results page often includes paid advertising and free organic search results. It costs nothing to appear in our organic search results, and advertising with Google won't improve your ranking.
So it will take you some elbow grease to get yourself noticed.


1. Visit Google's Webmaster Tools. This is where you can get Statistics, diagnostics and management of Google's indexing of your website, including Sitemap submission and reporting.

• Download information from your Webmaster Tools account as a .csv file These downloads give you the same information as what's found on each separate page in one handy place. You can open .csv files in a spreadsheet program or in a text editor.

• Summary data for all sites .csv

  (Includes a list of all Sitemaps for all sites, including all errors for each Sitemap.)

Improve your website return on investment, increase conversions, and make more money on the web.

The program is free, and combines pay-per-click and pay-per-impression advertising - meaning you get paid for valid clicks on the ads on your site or search results pages as well as impressions on your content pages. For tips on how to make the most, click here.
