Use These SEO Tips To Put Yourself Ahead Of The Competition

By Zina Bosse Kildoo


Search engine optimization is an art, a science, a mystery and, to the inexperienced, a great big pain. But it need not be so! A little learning goes a long way towards demystifying the whole process. The ideas that follow will show how small changes to a website can have big impacts on the way search engines treat it.

While including the common misspellings of words on your website as a Search Engine Optimization strategy can be a good strategy to pulling in more visitors, don't overdo it. A website that is full of misspelled words won't likely make the impression you need to make to secure a new client!

Be honest about your website. Is it any good? It can be really easy to do search engine optimization on a number of websites, but if your site is no good, it's no good. Work on your website so that you aren't the only one who wants to go there.

Once you have chosen your key words and your pages are ready to go, get listed in the best directories. Being listed in directories is free ,and they are used by the major search engines to build their own directories. It's believed that if you get listed in the best directories, you will be highly ranked in the search engines.

Make sure that all your links to your site and within your site all connect and use your keyword or keyword phrase. In other words, if your target is "cute kittens" then link to "cute kittens" instead of a click here type of link. This will help with search engine optimization.

Within your site's body copy, be sure to indicate heading tabs with the notation H#. Keep them separate from the headings that are used by other pages on your site. It is especially important to use highly relevant, useful words in these headings, which will make it easier for you to distinguish them from the rest of the code.

Hopefully, search engine optimization looks a little less mystical, now. It is just a collection of techniques for boosting a website's traffic and therefore, its potential revenue. Some of them are easy to master, while some take more study and practice. If the tips above whet your appetite, there is plenty more enlightenment waiting for you.
