Search Engine Optimization For Site Owners

Search Engine Optimization is a very thorough process and can be complicated. This article will definitely not teach you anything but it will point out some very important aspects of search engine optimization (SEO).

Now before I get started I need to point out a few things. You can not just throw up any webpage use SEO tactics on it and get it to a number one position in the search engines. Your website needs good quality content and needs to be resourceful to users. Also you can not have an affiliate site nor a forwarded domain. Search engines pick up on these sites and never list them. This has to be your very own site with good quality content and your own domain name.

Once all of the above are true you will be able to proceed to following the SEO tactics on your website. One important note is that it should be done in this particular order for simplicity and to save yourself the time of realizing that you did so much work for no reason:

For search engine optimization you should take these steps and in this particular order:

1.Find out the most important keywords that you would like your website to show up in, in a search engine. Make sure your website is related to those keywords (this is a biggie).

2.Now what you want to do is include those keywords in your website as much as possible without actually "spamming" your site with the keywords. So do not stick the keywords where they do not belong make sure they are strategically placed.

3.You should include those keywords in the title and description of your website at least once but no more than 3 times.

4.Try to fit the keywords in the body of your website as many times as possible without sounding repetitive.

5.It is a good idea to have the keywords in your domain name, but as you already have domains you should not worry about this.

6.Any objects on your website (ie. Audio, graphics, videos, etc.), should have alternate text that includes your keywords.

7.Another important place to include your keywords is the meta tags of your webpage. Meta tags are not visible to the viewer but are to the search engines. Make sure to include your keywords in your meta tags as much as possible.

8.The last and most important thing in search engine optimization (and this is not really search engine optimization per say) is to get backlinks to your webpage. The more links you get the better PR (pagerank) your site will get and the higher up the search engine rankings your site will go.

I hope this will help anyone implements these method. This is by far no guide on full out SEO tactics but it is a start and some of the aforementioned is very important when it comes to SEO.
