SEO Tips to Help You Stop Wasting Time on Your Site

We all understand that SEO plays a vital role in getting your site ranked. So naturally, we want to take good care of our sites and keep them optimized as good as we can. But on your site, are you wasting your time? Or even more to the point, are you spending too much time on the WRONG sites? Well, if this question gives you any pause at all, then this article may be for you.

There are various types of sites online today. With advanced technology, we can now throw up a site in just a matter of minutes. WordPress is a good example of this. A WordPress blog can be installed in a matter of seconds through Fantastico in Cpanel. It contains a copy and paste interface for posting articles very quickly. And before you know it, you have a fully functional blog with content, that’s ready to go.

There are still some people who prefer to create their sites the old fashioned way, with some HTML coding and a bucket of sweat. Of course there are some programs to help with this too, like Dreamweaver and other HTML editors.

Most people can realize the difference between throwing up a site like Wikipedia and then a WordPress blog. There’s a huge contrast between a WordPress blog and a Wikipedia module. And even though these two sites are at opposite sides of the spectrum, there’s a simple way to prove my point.

Out of the two sites, which one do you think will take more of your time for getting Search Engine Optimized? It’s Wikipedia. The Blog will be far more effortless to get SEO ready than the Wikipedia module. Too many people make the mistake of spending time on sites that just don’t call for that much attention.

This is not about the size of the site, it’s about the site’s purpose as well. Common sense dictates that you need to spend more time on a site that’s producing you good income, like sales pages, than on one that is designed to bring you traffic to that page. It doesn’t mean you need to ignore the traffic generating page, just that you need to optimize your efforts as well as your pages. If just doesn’t make sense to spend as much time on that page as you do on your main sales page. Priorities is what it’s about.

So sit down and take a careful evaluation of each site you have, and create a sort of priority chart in relation to how much time you spend getting it SEO ready. This way you’re efforts will bring a better return for you on The time you spend working on them.
