But, at the same time, SEO sucks. Actually, let me rephrase that: SEO, done the way most people do it, sucks. Here’s why: who wants to wait 8-12 months to get to #1? (most industries are very competitive and it takes a while to outrank the big players).

Even if you do realize that waiting a year to have a constant stream of business coming your way makes sense, the main problem most business owners face is that they don’t have the resources to afford 12 months of marketing before seeing results.

So, What’s the Solution? How Can I Get Fast SEO Results?
I’m sure you’ve heard about “long tail keywords”. They’re the opposite of “broad” keywords.

Cars -> Extremely broad
Ford cars -> Still very broad
Ford dealership -> A lot more specific/relevant
Chicago Ford dealership -> Very specific (long tail)

The more you move down to the long tail, two things happen:

- Keywords get more specific (conversion rates get better)
- The search volume decreases drastically
- Ranking at the top of Google becomes a lot easier

What’s Best for Fast SEO Results? Broad or Long-Tail Keywords?
The answer is: both. And everything in between. You don’t want to go too broad (if you own a Ford dealership in Chicago, you don’t want to waste your money trying to rank for “cars”). But you don’t want to get too specific either (“1998 Ford Focus for Sale in Chicago” might be very specific, but nobody is searching for it. It’s not worth your time.)

The Secret for Fast SEO Results: “Serialize” Your Keywords
The average SEO campaign happens in this order:

1. You fix architectural issues that might be affecting your site
2. You optimize the content and tags for your pages
3. You create optimized content to get more pages indexed, which will help you rank for more keywords and have more PageRank to pass to your “money pages”
4. You build links (external and internal, for authority [links from authoritative sites and sites related to yours] and reputation [text links with your keywords in the links' anchor texts])

The traditional way of doing SEO is to do all of the above at the same time for all the keywords. The way we do SEO is a little different: you start with the low-hanging fruit (which will start making you money fast) and then you move up to move competitive search terms (with higher search volumes).

The “Fast SEO Results” Formula
First you need to do the site architecture and on-page optimization at a site-level for all the keywords.

Once your website is completely optimized you’ll have two things left to do:

- Content creation
- Link building

They are both ongoing processes.

The idea behind the Fast SEO Results formula is to go after the long-tail (easy) keywords first while still doing some optimization for the harder keywords. So, work on the Easy, Medium and Hard keywords equally. Once you’ve reached the top for the Easy ones, continue with the Medium and Hard ones. Once all your Medium keywords are at the top, focus only on the Hard ones.

You should still monitor the keywords you got to the top just in case they drop and need a little push.

By doing SEO this way you’ll start seeing results right away, because long-tail keywords usually have very high conversion rates and they’re easy to rank for. But never keep moving up towards the broader keywords because they are the ones that will be writing you the big fat checks.

It is essential that the load time of your site will be rapid so that visitors will not have to wait for a complete view and experience a pleasant experience.

From your end as site owner – you’ll benefit from less bounce when your visitor (especially the once with slow internet connection) don’t have to wait for long to receive your page.

And last but not least – Search engine algorithm calculate sites loading time as an important variable.

Use the following tips when you are building web sites:

1. Perform optimization of your HTML code.
   Be sure that there aren’t any unwanted tags and that it was optimized and clean. ⁽¹⁾
2. Design effective tables: use separate tables as much as possible. Sites are being displayed only after the tables are fully loaded.
   If you’re using a lot of tables and separate them from each other (you can use the site heading in separate tables, content, footer, etc. …) the tables will load separately and the total load time of the column will be shorter.
3. Increased the content area: This not only reduces the load time of pages, it also increases the level of readability of your site and helps you for better organic search results & visibility.
4. Reduce to a minimum any unnecessary weight: Any usage of graphics, Flash, scripts etc will increase the size of your pages.
   ANY redundant or avoidable graphics or item should be reduced to a minimum. This not only affects the web page loading time, but increases usability of your site and helps keeping it clean and clear.
5. Stick to simple designs: the web pages that load quickly have little design in them and usually consider much more effective.
   ~~ Grab a TIP! More is less – very simple, right? ~~
   Complex websites load very slowly, lose the surfer attention and convert less.
6. Spread your content. If you find that your pages are very long and busy, try breaking the content into parts.
   By separating overcrowded pages you reduce loading time for each page and keep it readable.
   No one will scroll down for more than a couple of pages filled with plain text.
7. Use text links instead of graphic buttons: Basically, prefer using as many HTML tags as you can.
   You can use the technology of CSS Style sheets in order to make texts & links look attractive.
8. Use the SSI files from the internet servers your websites are hosted on. Those SSI file are flexible, they are being called one by the server and remain on their cache memory which makes their loading time extra short.
9. Using layers instead of tables is a relatively innovative idea and can assist the webpage loading time.
10. Don’t forget to check the load time of your site ⁽²⁾ that is the best way to know your status from external computers.

~~ Remember to test the load time of your site regularly. Use tools such as website analyzer or web site optimization website to get an updated status. ~~
