The 9-Month SEO Plan – How to Be Best Friends with Google’s Search Engine

June 27th, 2006 by Mike Reining Read more about SEO, Traffic Tactics

One of the most important ways to get a large amount of traffic is securing a top google search engine ranking.

But unlike what many SEO (search engine optimization) firms will tell you - you just can’t shove your way into a good ranking.

Think about it - Google has thousands of the world’s smartest engineers working to make sure their search engine does not get manipulated. Any loopholes you read about will likely be fixed within months. Google isn’t sitting still. So don’t waste your time trying.

So how do you get your site well positioned? Fortunately there is an ethical way that can get you high search engine placement.

What we’re going to reveal here is a tried and tested 9-month system pioneered by James Glog, the founder of a successful startup in Silicon Valley. James wouldn’t let us reveal his real name - but let’s just say that James is on a first name basis with several engineers in Google and has a solid understanding of how to ethically get a good Google ranking.

The philosophy James preaches is not about manipulating search engines. It is about understanding how they work and how to plan your site marketing strategy so that you can achieve good rankings in a reasonable amount of time.

James helped us prepare a detailed spreadsheet outlining his system. The beauty of this spreadsheet is that it will make sure you hit all the necessary points to ensure your site gets good placement.

It won’t happen fast (any SEO specialist who promises you fast results are usually lying through their smiles) - but James says you’ll see dramatic results in 9 months.

We’ll start this lesson with 10 steps you need to take to make sure your site is search engine friendly. If you aren’t following these best practices, you should start now.

After these 10 steps we’ll give you the main item - the Comprehensive SEO Checklist from James. You can download it at the end of this lesson.

    Mike, thanks for the awesome checklist. Some people think SEO is only about Meta tags... they are certainly out of touch. Appreciate you taking the time to lay this out in a clear, easy to follow format.

    Hi. good info. It's kinda interesting though, that most people do everything by hand. Really! For somethings it's just obvious that it should, like ppc and seo. really!
