One of my friend was asking how I could get this blog to rank well in Google for the search term “profit blogging tips“. So, here is my simple tips on how to rank well for specific keywords in Google. Forget about pagerank first (I don’t see any pagerank green bar on my homepage,now!). Just stay focus on building inbound links.

As a matter of fact, from the beginning I feel it is impossible in every search engine to rank well in the natural results for such a singular keyword as “blogging”. In a nutshell, if you want to rank well in Google, you need to build inbound links or incoming links to your website with your targeted keywords in the links.
But, you don’t want to put all of your links together with one keyword phrase. One of Google’s red flags is when they notice a link to a particular website appearing more than 60% of the time with one specific keyword phrase.

Utilizing a variety of long-tail keywords will actually serve you better in the search-engine ranking puzzle, in more ways than one. After all, when I do a search for blogging tips, I don’t type in the search word “blogging”. I type in search phrases like: “profit blogging”, “profit blogging tips“, or “blogging for profit tips”.

People searching the keyword “blogging” have yet to figure out that they are looking for specific kinds of blogging. Once they do an initial search, they are going to type in more specific search terms to find what they actually want. So, once you start targeting a variety of long-tail keyword phrases, then you will start seeing more success in your search engine marketing efforts.
