			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m going to assume that you know enough about search engine marketing and social media that you already understand what you have to do in order to optimize your pages to rank first in search engines. When you&#8217;ve finished your on-site elements, now it&#8217;s time to take a short look at the off-site elements which can be done so that you can improve your ranking on Google.</p>
<p>Off-site elements are another crucial component of search engine marketing. As you know, your ranking on Google is extremely important; if you are on the first page, your webpage is going to receive a vastly greater number of visitors than if you were on the tenth page. Because of this, everybody who runs a website for anything at all should want to become an expert on every aspect of search engine marketing.</p>
<p>As always, you have to keep in mind that your keywords are the most important part. In case you didn&#8217;t know, &#8220;keywords&#8221; are the terms you want to be found under on search engines. You have to compile a list of the keywords you&#8217;re presently going after as well as anything you want to try to rank for at some time in the future. Without knowing your keeping&#8217;s, you&#8217;ll never be able to accomplish much when it comes to search engine marketing.</p>
<p>The crux of any SEO strategy should be gaining backlinks, which is the industry word for links to your website. The reason that Google got so good is because their search engine had the least amount of spam: all of the other engines merely ranked pages based on the keywords that appeared in the text (which was ludicrously easy to manipulate), whereas Google also factored in what other websites were saying about you, thereby creating a more spam-free result page. As you are aware, by taking away this form of manipulation has made SEO a much more complex process.</p>
<p>So, you&#8217;ve definitely asking yourself how you actually get these backlinks. There really isn&#8217;t a easy answer to that question, even though it obviously is a good one. What you will be required to do is simply ask people for them. Offer to write guests posts on blogs that you read. Submit your website to as many directories as you can. Use social media. Create content that is so interesting and unique that people will want to link to it so that they can show it to people they like. At the end of the day, this is going to be a Sisyphean task, but if you really want to rank highly on search engines, it&#8217;s what you need to  do.</p>
