Think about it for a minute, ANY good plan always starts with research, right? Remember what we said about satisfying the search engines in one of our recent articles:

1-High-quality content – valuable information that’s free – and lots of it.

2-New material added all the time – so Google sees the site is growing and staying current.

3-Easy-to-use site navigation – including a site map.

4-Inbound links to your site from other authority web sites in the same niche.
