Link Text - Breaking Patterns and Keeping Natural
To get a top ranking for a keyword phrase on Google and the other search engines, your web page should have that exact keyword phrase on the page itself PLUS it must have good links pointing at the URL (your web page).
If no links point to that URL - Google will assume it is a page with little or no value.
Taking this a step further - links are BEST when they have GOOD KEYWORDS in the LINK TEXT.
LINK TEXT : the text that is found within the LINK pointing at your web page.
A banner or image link is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick, but even better is a good text link.
When they see a text link with your keywords in the link text - it helps them to decide how they will rank you when poeple search for that keyword phrase.
Putting the right words on your web pages pages is a step in the right direction, but if Google NEVER sees any of those words in LINK TEXT, either on your site or as linked on other sites, there is very little chance they will rank you on top for any of those keywords.
The solution is to to find out what PHRASES and keywords are on your pages and do your best to get links to your page with the exact words.
HOT TIP: Use the AUKDAT Keyword Density Analyzer Tool to find out what single, 2 word and 3 word phrases appear on your web page. Simply enter a URL and AUKDAT will tell you the words that are on your page (and also show you which words could appear MORE OFTEN! ie if a KEYWORD PHRASE appears more than 2 times it is more likley to bring you traffic).

Good SEO - Breaking the Patterns!
I’d like to discuss how ugly patterns, excessive repetition and blatant footprints can be the ultimate buzz kill when it comes to getting top rankings for your primary targeted keyword phrases on Google.
I’ll explain what some common patterns, repetition and footprints are, and I’ll explain how to remedy the situations so that sinking ships can be brought back up to the surface!
Often, when a web page suddenly declines in rankings it can be because of the links that Google sees pointing at your web page. Often some simple strategies can bring your pages back to the top! Don’t panic or freak out! I’ll help you get your pages back on top!
I am fortunate to communicate with a large number of Article Underground members and Article Marketing News newsletter subscribers on a regular basis, both by email and through the private members forum. I have the unique opportunity to discuss SEO and optimization discoveries as they develop. I also regularly analyze a large number of web sites and see many common situations.
When starting an online business as a “web publisher” it’s easy to get caught up building sites and adding pages and overlooking important details such as applying simple logic or practical strategies.
Because the Article Underground Content and Traffic System focuses on building pages and adding links I can see how some people may take the building process to it’s extreme.
I tell people to stop wasting time over analyzing and focus on getting started building web sites! I instruct newcomers it’s more important to get the ball rolling and then learn from your small victories and successes and build upon them.

Build Pages - Get Links
If you are familiar with me or Article Underground you should know that my primary sumary of what it takes to make it big in Internet Marketing and Web Publishing is the Mike Liebner mantra “Build Pages - Get Links!”.
I jokingly say Mike Liebner MANTRA because in the private Article Underground members only forum, that saying has become a running joke of sorts! In fact one member created his own avatar that had a superhero looking guy with Build Pages - Get Links on his pumped up chest! Very funny!
But it is TRUE - BUILDING WEB PAGES with great keywords on them and GETTING GOOD LINKS with excellent keywords in them can help a web publisher push their pages to the top of Google! It’s the way it works boiled down to the core!
It’s so simple, yet so many people get stumped along the way to building successful web sites that attract people and make money! They over analyze every nuance and detail and get so distracted they DO NOT spend enough time building pages and getting good links! And then they wonder why they are not MAKING LOTS OF MONEY!
It’s funny, but this morning as I was listening to the radio I heard fitness guru Jillian Michaels (from Biggest Loser fame) repeat her MANTRA which was “Eat Less - Move More!”
I laughed out loud because BUILD PAGES - GET LINKS is so remarkably close to EAT LESS MOVE MORE!!! And you know what - her mantra too is simple yet makes so much sense in so many ways. BUT dieters too get distracted! (continued - read more of this article…)
