There is a way to get free backlinks to your website, launching yourself to the first page in google organic search results within a very short period of time. But entails more than just turning on your computer, there are no free lunches. With that said, if you are very dedicated and take it upon yourself to make it work by setting a goal to employ this method on a consistent basis, you can reach your goal of Google page one in “hurry mode”. The playing ground does indeed become more level.

You’ve probably heard or read that writing articles is a very effective way to get free targeted traffic to your website. Sure, but that isn’t the whole story. Writing articles is great, but it is slow going until you give it some oomph! The conventional method of article writing usually requires pounding them out in large numbers (depending upon the competition for your keywords) to pole vault yourself to where you eventually want to be in search engine rankings. Please don’t be disheartened. Anything worthwhile takes consistency, and you feel better about it anyway when you reach the top of the mountain. Later in this article I Will get to an amazing discovery I recently made that helped buoy me up and not get discouraged with article writing.

In the meantime, I want to share with you one of the “baby steps” that helped me get to the number one search result on Google’s Local Search. It was quite easy for me to even beat a major competitor for my chosen keywords. In just one day I achieved number one (two or three in some cases) in Google’s Local Search for 3 or 4 quality keywords. I ranked number one for an item that is in huge demand right now all across the country. For those of you who are unfamiliar with local search, get busy with what I’m about to explain!

Why is it important to gain exposure to Local Search? Because Yellow Pages is for your grandmother’s generation. Oh yes, some people do still use it, but most now turn to exactly where you are right now– the internet! They type in something like “computers Houston” (or wherever they live) to get listings of the most popular establishments of this category in their locale. It ain’t alphabetical, baby, survival of the fittest, just like the rest of the net, and you getting up there in the Local Search Results can really help you.

How I did this, and how you can too, is not hard to accomplish. But I found that hardly anyone was putting this method into practice. I first signed up for Google Local Business Center. Then I walked through the set up process which is pretty self explanatory (it is free, by the way). I didn’t have a physical location so I got a P.O. Box which is advised to do by Google if you don’t have a location. The part that not many of my competitors were doing was posting pictures (I bought several from off of the internet that were applicable to my products). I also made a short 6 minute video and put it on Youtube. This was fun, and inexpensive. I just had a friend teach a simple skill that is applicable to my niche. I then downloaded the Youtube video to Google Local Search. Besides all of this, I put the web address of a free E-book I found on the internet into the coupon category, stating the coupon was good for one free and immediately downloadable E-Book pertinent to my niche. Get creative like this, and you’ll find many ways to get you traffic!

I hope this was useful information to get you further to your goal of mounting the Google mountain. If you don’t think Local Search will help, think again. And then do the same thing for Yahoo’s version of it. Borrow a camcorder if you have to. I suppose the most important step is overcoming the obstacle of doing something you haven’t done before and think might be hard. You have momentum in not having done it up to this point, but you can change that, take a “baby step,” and the momentum you have started by doing these simple things will really get the ball rolling in the right direction!
