2) Outsource and then "autopilot" your SEO tasks

There are numerous SEO companies that promise to get you ranked high with Google and other major search engines. They may make good on their promise and get you ranked in the top ten. But then what? Don't forget that every other web site owner is going to be trying the same strategy and the competition does not stop once you've positioned yourself on the first page.

In order to stay at the top, you will need to keep your web site continuously updated, employ innovative new methods to keep attracting visitors to your site, and try to keep getting a steady flow of one way links.

There are several ways to do this:

• Personalize your website with latest updates on lifestyle, technology or finance.

• Write articles and submit them to article directories.

• Join a blog that's relevant to your business and post valuable comments; don't forget to include a link with your signature.

• Write testimonials for other web sites in exchange for a one way link to your site.
