You're probably thinking, what is this all about - you're young - you know all the new trends!?"; that's only half true.  I've been coding websites for as long as I can remember, and things have changed drastically.  I've been able to easily snag #1 result on Google and related engines, but that was over 5 years ago.  5 years isn't much to any average Joe, but when it comes to technology it can seem like a lifetime.
- Try to remember when tabled layouts were more than acceptable!

The "New Web" is just cluttered with social media networks - and this is great - but it can prove very difficult to optimize anything for search engines.  Everything has become what you could call "organic".  It's not longer focused on hits or links, it's focused on content and interest.  Hits and links still play a key role, but the old "link spamming" tactics don't work anymore.

Let me guide you through some key Tactics to help bring your website recognition!

The Don'ts

Don't Force Traffic ::

It's all about You generating interest, trying to force people to see your website by spamming links just wont work.  You will end up getting a high bounce ratio with numerous pointless hits - it might work temporarily, but it will kill your recognition & followers sooner or later.

Write posts that you actually enjoy & like writing, keep in mind you want it to be interesting to others ‘Focus is key’.  People are browsing your blog to find something that interests them not You.

Don't Be Greedy ::

It's very obvious when a website is trying to generate money from ads; the content often lacks that passion, while links and advertisements get in the way of browsing.  Besides, you want more interest in your websites to encourage visitors to come back.

Some SEO experts even recommend holding off on ads Totally until you have an active reader base first.  As of writing this article, you can see I have done so with this website.  The primary purpose of my blog is recognition, why should I have ads when I don't have many members?

Don't Overdo It ::

Trying to make your website rank better can also kill it Quickly!  Too many links can make navigation cumbersome and in some cases even knock some points off it.  Like I said, everything is organic - Search engines want to differentiate between what's fake from what’s real.

If you have a large website that seems to be very active with few inbound links and a high bounce ratio, something is obviously going to look fishy to any search engine.

The Do's

Be A Part Of It ::

Don't just make a blog and post random bits and pieces - be a part of Your online community.  It may sound odd to some, but go on Twitter and try following successful individuals with similar interests.  Reading their posts and shares can provide you with inspiration and even grab your attention.

If you have an opinion or suggestion, comment back.  Always be courteous and show respect even if you disagree with their article.  You want respect, so please show some in return.

Sharing Is Caring ::

Share other people's articles you find interesting, they might take even take notice.  The more your fellow bloggers take notice, the more they may feel the need to share some of your articles.

It's all about socializing with others being Loyal to friends and enjoying yourself reading, writing, and sharing!  Share your passion with others, anything passionately written will have more value to both yourself and others.

Tread Lightly ::

The small things really actually counts.  Try using plug-ins like comment Luv, facebook widgets, and retweet. they don't obstruct your blog and they provide means to ease the sharing of your content and share articles your readers have written.

Remember, you want to show other bloggers you're unique and also worthy of attention - not superior or above them.  Make it easier for people to share their articles with you and your articles with others.

Final Note

I really hope you liked my article, I tried to put more heart into it this year, but I just can't fully explain what I've learned without giving a final note.  Twitter can remind you of Facebook and Wordpress of Xanga, but never underestimate services even professionals enjoy.

I have found numerous articles and amazing content through Twitter alone, I'm currently in a Google group called Worthy Of Attention that is all about sharing attention worthy articles.  I have learned more than I could even imagine about blogging in the past month.

It seems so simple, yet you can easily lose sight of what's in front of you everyday.
