\nKeyword Maintenance – Keeping Your Keywords On The First Page Of Google<\/b>
\n
\n<\/p>\n

After the major Panda Update and all the other recent changes Google
\ndid to their never-ending Algorithm, I was pleasantly surprised to see
\nsimple keyword maintenance still works within Google. Surprised and glad,
\nbecause keeping your targeted keyword phrases on the first page of Google
\nis vital for your online marketing.
\n
\n
\nOr at least, it has been for me over the years. <\/b>
\n
\n
\nMainly because good quality targeted traffic coming from Google has been
\nthe lifeblood of my online marketing. I have long since learned, it’s not
\njust getting those top rankings in Google which is important, but keeping
\nthem there is the real key to your online success.<\/p>\n

You simply must maintain your top Google rankings over the long haul
\n– month after month, year after year – if you want to succeed online.
\nMy strategies or tips for keeping my hard-won rankings is quite simple
\nand I often refer to it as keyword maintenance. It simply means building
\nbacklinks through the following methods:
\n
\n
\nArticle Marketing<\/b>
\n
\n
\nMost of my one-way link building is still done through article marketing
\nand while articles have taken a major hit with the Panda Update, they still
\nwork. I use Google Alerts to help track whenever a page or site is indexed
\nin Google relating to my keyword phrases… lately I have noticed that
\narticles are listed much less frequently – my articles on GoArticles and
\nEzineArticles still being listed.<\/p>\n

Releasing a few well written keyworded related articles every few weeks will
\nkeep your site or content on the first page of Google. I place my keyword
\nphrase and variations of it, in the resource box of the article. I only use
\na limited range of selected article directories, which include Ezinearticles,
\nGoArticles, iSnare, ArticleAlley, Buzzle, American Chronicle and SubmitYourArticle.
\n
\n
\nYouTube Marketing<\/b>
\n
\n
\nI also use videos to build links and traffic to my targeted keywords. These
\nare simple videos related to my niche markets and keywords. And while the
\nlinks on YouTube are usually “no follow”, I still believe these have value
\nwithin Google’s ranking system. <\/p>\n

Besides, a good popular video will get you listed on the first page of Google
\nfor your chosen keyword phrase. I have had videos stay on that first page for
\nmonths at a time and I have tracked other marketers who have done even better
\nwith their videos, especially within the YouTube framework, which is owned by
\nGoogle. Releasing a few videos a month, will keep your site or page center stage
\nand in the whole mix of what’s happening on the web.
\n
\n
\nBlog Marketing<\/b>
\n
\n
\nRegularly posting related content with links back to your site is another
\nvery simple way to maintain your top rankings in Google. I have several blogs
\nthrough WordPress, Blogger, LiveJournal… where I can place unique content
\nwith links in the first two paragraphs back to my sites. I also do some guest
\nblog posts or articles for other blogs and sites.<\/p>\n

Again, the idea here is not to go overboard and start building backlinks like crazy,
\nbut to have a steady number of links added each month. Making the occasional blog
\ncomment in well targeted popular blogs is also very helpful for maintaining your
\nlinks in Google. You really do need to keep your site\/page\/keywords relevant and
\ninvolved in the whole discussion which is taking place on the web.
\n
\n
\nSocial Media Marketing<\/b>
\n
\n
\nI now use Twitter to tweet all my articles, blog posts and new content on my sites.
\nThis is extremely easy to do and many sites\/programs such as Ezinearticle and PRweb
\nwill automatically tweet your content or you might just have to click a button to
\nget your content into Twitter. <\/p>\n

I have also found it helpful to bookmark my content in Digg, Reddit, FaceBook,
\nDelicious… Plus, I also include the Addthis.com bookmark button beside all my
\ncontent and let my visitors bookmark it for me. Also a very simple way to get
\nvaluable one-way links.
\n
\n
\nPress Releases<\/b>
\n
\n
\nFor the last few years, doing regular press releases related to my keywords
\nhas been another important strategy for keeping those top rankings. I mostly
\nuse PRweb but there are many free sites for releasing your releases which you
\ncan use instead if you don’t want to spend any money. Keep in mind, your press
\nreleases are picked up by Google News and listed there for several weeks.
\nThis will also keep your site\/content relevant and current.<\/p>\n

In summary, using all of these simple link building strategies or tactics –
\nArticle Marketing, YouTube Marketing, Blog Marketing, Social Media Marketing
\nand Press Releases – have helped me maintain my first page listings in Google
\nfor my chosen keyword phrases. If I see one of my keyword phrases dropping in
\nthe Google rankings, I simply increase my promotion by writing more
\narticles\/posts\/comments\/press releases and\/or doing a video.<\/p>\n

Just remember, getting to the top of Google is only the first battle, but staying
\nthere for year after year will be the hard part unless you religiously continue
\nto build backlinks to your content and maintain your rankings. Bit corny, but
\nthink of your Google rankings as individual plants, which have to be continuously
\nwatered by backlinks so that they will stay healthy and keep baring fruit for
\nyears to come.
