There is no question about Google being the leading search engine of the world. "Seeking information on the Internet" and "searching on Google" are synonymous phrases today.

That is the reason you cannot ignore Google if you are a marketer. It really pays to know what Google likes and act accordingly, because it is Google that will bring you the greatest visibility on the Internet.
The first thing that you have to understand is how Google works. This is not any ordinary search engine that just checks for keywords and ranks webpages on their search engine results.

Google uses a very sophisticated method of webpage crawling. It will check many things on the webpage to make sure that it is relevant to the search that the customer has made.

Google is quite conscious of its reputation. It will not want any substandard results to pass on to its searchers. That is the reason Google makes pretty sure that the results it provides are really up to the mark.

One of the things that are very important to Google is the quantity of content that is present on the webpage it shows. Hardly will a webpage that has less than 400 words of content overall will figure on the top pages of Google.

That way it ensures that the pages it shows has some substance to show to the searcher. In recent times, Google has begun crawling for content such as photos, audio and video and such also. But for article marketing, the same old rules apply, i.e. a significant amount of text content.

Google also rewards webpages that are regularly updated. Hence, if you have a blog that has frequent posts, it is bound to figure highly on Google. Similarly, an article that gets a large amount of page views will also rank better.

The best way is to write a lot of articles about your home business and submit them to the most popular directories over the Internet. This is the most effective way of building exposure on Google.
Keyword optimization must be stressed on. Using a tool like Google Suggest, you can find out what keywords people are searching for the most and then use these keywords in your articles. Make it a point to include them in the headline because Google uses the headline for ranking the article page too.

However, it is essential to remember not to fool Google through black hat methods such as keyword stuffing. The Google engine can recognize keyword stuffing sooner or later and when that happens, Google won't flinch from banning the webpage or even the entire website. After all, it has an international reputation to keep up.
