A) Keyword Research Analytics/strong - Understanding what keyword research entails and employing it constantly is the basis of all of the SEO marketing techniques.

Think of a keyword as a problem statement or a question. Think of how your mind works when you type in an inquiry on Google.

For example, if you want to know 'how do I grow tomatoes indoors,' you will enter your query and get Google or Yahoo! or Bing to do the work for you. That search generates the familiar results page.

If you are a garden professional or a seed supplier, you would be delighted to have your business appear in the first entries on the page. You get discovered that way.

Keyword research requires a learning curve. Become a master in keyword search and execution and in time, you will be followed like a celebrity.

B) Video Production/strong -
One of the free, or organic, methods, video production, is well loved by Google and other members of the search engine family. Best of all, viewers love them too.

In our techno-world, videos speak louder than the written word. To cater to this reality and the relative short attention span that goes along with it, produce short, concise videos that make the point quickly, provide quality content and, when appropriate, entertain.

You don't have to be a professional. You want your audience to know you are a member of their ranks. You want to make the impression that what you are doing is something that they can do too.

You want to build a personal connection that your targeted viewer can relate to. It is important to include selected keyword in the title of the video, the description and tags to maximize your page ranking.

Once produced, you can post to YouTube or a comparable video distribution service. Who knows? Justin Bieber was discovered this way.

C) Pay Per Click Advertising ("PPC")/strong -

PPC increases the spread of your castled net because you can now place ads with geographic specifics in them, such as city, country or language.

PPC comes at a cost but if well done, can be very effective advertising, much like the Madison Avenue ads of pre-technology days.

Unlike the organic methods, PPC ads last only as long as you continue to pay for them. They do not live forever on the web.

PPC is not for the uninitiated. Many, if not most of the skills acquired in learning the organic methods have application in PPC.
Now that you know your ABC's, delve deeper.
