There are things you can do to help your site along with posting original content on them. One of the most beneficial to help your target audience help to find you is to be placing your focused keywords in the URL. For those using WordPress, they should be aware that your title is not automatically used to create the URL. By making this small change in the way your website is set up, you can help increase your visibility on the web by making it easier for the search engine crawlers to identify your content.
To help boost your credibility on the web more than anything else is to place your physical address from the real world on your website. With WordPress this can be done by creating a page so it will have a link on your home page for your visitors and the crawlers to find relatively easy.
One of the most elusive things to acquire is testimonials from your visitors, customers and clients. Many people say they will leave one, but then they forget. There is little to no incentive for them to do this other than just being nice to you. Unfortunately if you offer anything for the testimonial, it is considered a paid referral. No one will know if you do this, except you and the one’s receiving the incentive. If your purpose is to increase your credibility, then offering an incentive is unethical. This is something you need to think about and consider the impact. On average only 5% of those promising to give a testimonial will do so.
The current opinion on how Google ranks your website places 25% on the trust and authority of your host domain. This is why the credibility issue is so great. This is the responsibility of the website owner. The second category holding 22% is the links and their popularity. This too is your responsibility. Good quality links that are either resources your visitors can use or have additional information relating to the topic on your site is the important ones that will help to contribute to your rise in the SERP’s.
The anchor text of your external links holds 20% in the level of importance for ranking by the current way Google looks at all websites. Doing this correctly can make a significant difference. Take you time with this and get it correct.
Now on to what is king on the internet, “Content”. This is where hiring a professional article writer can make a difference. The on-page keyword usage is 15% of the Google algorithms. By hiring an article writer that knows their responsibility can make a significant contribution to your overall SEO approach to rising in the SERP’s.
Of all the things you can do to help your site the most is to take a multiple prong attack. All of the above suggestions have an accumulative effect on how well your site will be ranked and viewed by your visitors. This is why being a success on the internet does take time, work and patience so you can achieve your goals.

Interest and Desire go hand-in-hand. To create desire, you need to help your customers or audience understand what your offering can do for them in a real way. You need to appeal to their personal needs and wants. So how can you create desire? Let the customer or audience member experience the product or service first hand. You need to build interactivity. Get someone to experience your offering in some way or another so that they can desire to own it or be part of it. Whether that is a youtube video, a regular blog, or a free taster. If you can appeal to the emotional side of your visitor and translate the benefits they’ll receive, not necessarily the features, you are more likely to create desire. With the advent of Data Protection and secure payment systems, it’s essential that you underline your credibility and trustworthiness to your visitors– which could come in the form of reviews from the press or your audience members, or implement secure site software and demonstrating their logo clearly, if you are asking for a sale transaction, two ways of generating trust, and by extension desire. Another way of increasing desire is to offer incentives – give these visitors to your site a reason to choose you and not someone or something else.
