SEO and DSO (Dating-Self-Optimization)

You have probably heard or read about SEO or Search Engine Optimization, to be clear. This is a name given to tweaking and building a website's interaction and place on the Internet, so that the big information retrieval applications like Google, Yahoo and MSN could give a website a credential to be on top for queries that matter. And in this respect there are few known factors, which could be worked on to make a particular website rank higher for all the hot keywords. And among these are playing with keyword density of a page, quality and quantity of back links and content size are to be noted.

For any online or off line dating or relationships to work you have to optimize your self or higher someone who can do that for you. Dating-self-optimization (DSO) works on the rules of SEO. The only difference is YOU are by yourself a search engine and a website and it's hard to come up which factors determine the usefulness of a dating partner or which can make him/her get banned from being listed on your search engine. But to give meaning to my own creation called DSO (Dating-self-optimization) and to set rules on how to go about it I'll use the three factors mentioned above which are used to optimize a website.

1. Selecting Key Words.

Selecting keywords and incorporating them in a website content can mean a lot of things to a webmaster or an SEO expert. For instance, if the website that's being optimized falls under the online dating industry, then selecting and targeting keywords which give meaning to any single who wants to date online and who would pass queries to a search engine should be the number one priority. In short it tells the search engines when to incorporate the page in their search results page. Now lets apply this rule to online dating or dating in general.

For any kind of dating relationship knowing your partner is crucial. And to get to know each other you've to tell about yourself in words or writing. So here you should apply key word selection. In order to get precedence over higher placement in your dating partners mind (you can call it Search Engine) you should incorporate some distinct but highly valuable keywords in your profile or self-presentation. You shouldn't tell lies, swear too much, talk about your ex and things like that in order to rank higher in the search result positive things rather than utterly negative ones. This is called first impression in most cases. And remember people always remember first impressions.

Selecting and including words that have a sense of humor is most definitely a plus in any relationship minded search engines residing in singles minds.

2. Creating A Unique And Not Duplicate Content.

Now that you have selected key words the next step is to create as much content as possible using those key words you've selected. If you happen to have a website you'd definitely know what this means. The more content you come up with the more trusted source of information becomes your website.

But coming up with a lot of content wouldn't be enough either. The content should be Unique. And believe it or not this rule holds firm when it comes to dating or relationship. To avoid duplication all you have to do is to be open and be your self, really.

And another crucial thing to remember is not to get into desperation. Duplicate content are rife online because of desperation. Avoid desperation and your dating or relationship content would be as UNIQUE as it can be.

3. Quality and Quantity of Backlinks.

In order to get higher placement and to be eligible of appearing higher on search results the quality and quantity of backlink to is crucial for any given website. And in this theory a one way link gives more quality to a website than a two way link.

What does this mean in the dating arena, you'd say? The more you become cheerful and fun to be around the more you'll attract quality singles of the opposite sex. The more you become open, the more you exude a vibe that's sure to get you noticed and worthy of thinking about. This way your backlink quality and quantity will grow, giving you more chance of meeting the right person to date and along the way amass a lasting friendship with as many people.

To learn more on how to optimize your self for dating or relationship, start using online dating. And believe me you don't want to learn this by scoffing $50.00 every month. Rather you'd start by joining a free online dating site.

So go start DSO'ing your self, will you?
