Its no secret that Google gets most of the traffic on the internet,followed closely by Yahoo and MSN back in third place.So if we’re going to beat the next guy at getting some free search engine traffic what is required and where would you start?
Well first of all you have to realise that you aren’t likely to rank at the top of most keywords overnight,infact it can take months of hard work to rank for high traffic keywords so the key here is to start with keywords you can target that don’t have a lot of competition.This makes your job 50% easier before you even load a page to the internet.
