12 Ways To Be The Expert In Your Niche

By Gary Sager

Find something you are interested in knowing about and other people will be interested in it too. Here are 12 ways to be the expert in your niche and direct traffic to your website.
1.) Make your name known on the internet. Search for your name on Google.com, Yahoo.com, and Bing.com. How do you rank? What page are you on? Search for your name with quote marks and without quote marks. Most people will search for you without quote marks.
2.) Set a Google alert for your name so you will be alerted if someone mentions your name.
3.) Own your own URL with your name.com.
4.) Have your own branded website. You can get an inexpensive branded website and logo from BrandYourselfMarketing.com.
5.) Start your own blog and update consistently, preferably every week. You can link to your blog from your own branded website or forward your own name URL to your blog, and make your blog your primary website. If you are new to blogging and want to learn, you can start with a free blog hosting at Blogger.com or Wordpress.com. After you’ve gained experience you can pay a small fee to host your blog on a commercial hosting site. This will give you control of your data. And prevent being shutdown from being too commercial or some misunderstanding. There was an incident where Blogger shut down several bloggers mistakenly for being spammers. Bloggers temporally lost access to their blogs.
6.) Read my blog post from my Success Blog about how to generate backlinks and use Social Bookmarking to position your sites as authority sites for search engines.
7.) Sign up for free social media sites and post your public profile in sites like LinkedIn.com, Twitter.com, Friendfeed.com, Plaxo.com. If you vary each profile a little, search engines may think your are a different person at these sites and list more of your profiles on the first page.
8.) Write articles for Ezinearticles.com. Ezinearticles.com is the best site to write articles for. It is big and search engines consider Ezinearticles.com an authority site and you will have links and traffic back to you. If you want an alternative you can submit articles to Ezine.com.
9.) Do Keyword research for your articles, headlines, blog posts.
10.) Use Latent Syntax Indexing when you write articles and blog posts.
11.) Comeback to read more blog posts and articles to teach the above.
