3. Website Directories: You should submit your website to as many directories as possible. There are free and paid directories. DMOZ is probably the most recognized directory. It is extremely difficult to get accepted to DMOZ and seems to take forever. You shouldn’t dwell too much about getting accepted to DMOZ and instead submit your website to other directories. Make sure you submit your website to the best possible category.
4. Article Marketing: Many people feel that article marketing has gone downhill but I really don’t think so. Ezinearticles is probably the best article website. You should write articles related to your blog’s niche and submit them to article directories. Then you can rewrite the same article and submit it to another directory.

Doorway pages are “Meet and greet” professionals! Their job is to invite and welcome visitors and to direct them towards a site which is relevant to their needs and offers more information. In other words, to funnel traffic towards sites which are designed to convert traffic into revenue.
Proper design of these doorway pages is vital to their success. They are your front line troops. However, instead of arming them with guns, they are designed to express enormous charm and visitor appeal! They are acceptable and appealing to human visitors as well as the search engines.
1. A doorway page should load quickly, to encourage the visitor to enter and explore the site instead of getting peeved and impatient, building resistance. So keep your graphics to a minimum. Banners and logo should be small and linked to the next level up – the sales page. Also include your keywords within the image “ALT” tag. Beneath your logo, prepare an intriguing sentence that you link to the next level.
2. Host your feeder sites cheaply. This can be done by signing up with a host that allows multiple, even “unlimited” domains on the one account, such as reseller accounts. Having multiple blogs serves a similar purpose. It’s possible to buy domain names very cheaply – around $5 each. Blog names are free.
3. If you use any questionable marketing (”black hat”) tactics, such as automatic page generating software, do not use them with your star and planet sites. Don’t risk having them banned. Likewise with your advertising accounts. If you display ads, such as Ad sense, be sure that those sites are squeaky clean, so that you don’t risk your account.
4. Select three keyword phrases that closely describe the site (doorway page) you are designing. For instance, if the page is to be about dog training, you might have keyword phrases such as: dog training, obedience training, house training. Place these in your keyword Meta tags, between the heading tags, of your web page source code. Separate each phrase with a comma.
5. Prepare a descriptive sentence about this site using the keyword phrases you’ve selected, such as: “Dog Training Course: Expert Tips for Successful House and Obedience Training.” Use this sentence for your DESCRIPTION Meta tag. Note the initial caps.
If you are maintain a website then probably you can understand the importance of keeping a perfect keyword density in your content. Well optimized content not only helpful to drive the targeted traffic but also make your website more attractive and user friendly. If you are willing to place some content on your website then probably you need to be more conscious about the keywords that are being used in the content. You need to make sure that weather content is relevant to your website or not.
Keyword Density is basically a measurement that can be able to decide that how many times a keyword should be used in content. This basically depends on the length of the content. There is no “perfect” keyword density percentage in SEO, but Volacci strives to keep our density at or below 5 percent. The percentage of a page is relative to your content length, so it is recommended that you know the formula to calculate each page. The formula for keyword density is pretty simple.
1. Count how many words you have on your page.
2. Count how many times you have used your keyword.
3. Apply this formula.
Keyword Density = ([Keyword Count]*100)/(Total Word Count]
For example, let’s say that you have a 500 word article about PEZ dispensers, and you are optimizing for “PEZ”
- Total Word Count: 500
- PEZ keyword uses: 12
“PEZ” density = (12*100)/500
Keyword density for “PEZ” on the page is 2.4%
