Make your site a back link Superstar</title><content type='html'>There are a number of ways you can get create back links: you can submit articles to article directories (such as ezinearticles), add your site&#39;s URL to web directories, pay per click and of course social sites like myspace and facebook. These are all good ways but I&#39;ve come across a better way.&lt;br /&gt;The quickest, easiest way to create dozens, if not hundreds of back links to your site is to comment on blogs.&lt;br /&gt;Now you can&#39;t post to just any blog. First, you have to find a blog that is related to your site. When search engines see a link to your site from a site with quality, related content, they will give you extra points (or stars or smiley faces... whatever).&lt;br /&gt;Once you find blogs with related content you need to narrow down which ones allow &quot;do-follow&quot; links. Many blogs only let people post &quot;no-follow&quot; links. Basically, a no-follow link means people who read that blog can click the link and go to your site BUT the search engines will not give you extra points for having that back link.&lt;br /&gt;The tool I use to promote all of my sites (and other blogs) is Fast Blog Finder. It&#39;s free, really easy to use and does all the hard work for you.&lt;br /&gt;It will do a thorough search on a keyword you want to find blogs about. It will give you thousands of results showing the blogs&#39; page rank, domain rank and whether or not they allow &quot;do-follow&quot; links.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Just Follow the following step to make your site a back link superstar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .25in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Provide more value than other blogs and sites.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .25in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Add a blog to your site.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt; Blogs are capable of getting a lot more back-link love than regular websites. There are several reasons for this: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list .75in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;o&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Blogs are tracked in real-time&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;. Blog search engines publish the most recent blog entries they can find. This means your new entries get linked to instantly.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list .75in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;o&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Blogs are much easier to update than regular websites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;. You can create a lot more content in the same amount of time. There is no need to design a new page for a new article. You simply write a new article and publish. Your increase in content will increase your visibility and ability to get links.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.75in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level2 lfo1;tab-stops:list .75in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:10.0pt;font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;;mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Courier New&amp;quot;; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;o&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;    &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Blogs get links from other blogs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;. If you run a regular website that isn’t a blog, you will have a harder time getting links from bloggers. Bloggers mostly read and follow blogs!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; margin-left:.25in;text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:list .25in&quot;&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-list:Ignore&quot;&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;&quot;&gt;       &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi; color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Post relentlessly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;The more you are able to post, the more you will appear in blog search engines like &lt;a href=&quot;http://technorati.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Technorati&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Technorati&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogsearch.google.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Google Blog Search&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Google Blog Search&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogsearchengine.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; title=&quot;Blog Search Engine&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#5F5F5F&quot;&gt;Blog Search Engine&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. Note: People aren’t going to link to posts that are garbage so don’t sacrifice quality for quantity.

In the world of web technology, we have not witnessed any major upheaval this year. Being an ardent web surfer and a webmaster it’s all but natural for me to become curious about what the future holds for us in 2012. The most interesting area to look forward to is Search Engine Optimization (SEO) without which no website under the sun passes the fitness test. The SEO domain has received a tremendous boost from the growing popularity of social networking sites and various improvements in search technology. In this article and the following one, I will share with you some of the SEO trends that you can look forward to next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have been in the SEO biz for a number of years know how much more competitive it is these days compared to a few years ago. The number of web pages indexed by search engines has doubled, tripled, and quadrupled in past few years. On top of that, a good portion of site owners and webmasters know just enough SEO to be dangerous. In the golden age of SEO, the vast majority of websites hadn&#39;t given a thought to the search engines, and when they did, it was only to place some keywords in their Meta tags. (Which, incidentally, didn’t help then either?) Those were the days when anyone who knew even the slightest bit about SEO could easily rank highly in all the major search engines, with very little effort. Even competitive areas were doable with just a little more work than their non-competitive counterparts. So SEO is become the big thing now. Every website owner want to see their website top of the search engine’s search result page by searching their respective keywords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very much important in case of &lt;strong&gt;e-commerce website&lt;/strong&gt;. Every Ecommerce website owner wants to see their product  easily reachable to their client  as well as their competitor. Now online sale &amp;amp; buying is become easy but every online shop owner wants to lead their business. So it need to update their website daily or weekly for the purpose of SEO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 1:  The struggle Is violent&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These days, it&#39;s almost the exact opposite. Even keyword phrases that nobody&#39;s searching for can sometimes be difficult to obtain high rankings with unless you really and truly know what you&#39;re doing. And even then, those rankings may be here one day and gone the next. The problem is magnified for new businesses and new websites. If your site isn&#39;t at least a few years old, your SEO efforts will be less likely to provide the results you want. This is one reason why your website optimization should always be seen as a long-term proposition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 2:  It&#39;s About Targeted Traffic, Not Rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we move forward in this industry, webmasters, site owners, and SEOs need to shift their focus from asking how they can get this keyword to this position in this engine to how they can get more targeted traffic and convert it into customers. Unfortunately, a large portion of those looking into SEO services are still seeing the small picture. For instance, on the contact form on our High Rankings site, I ask people to tell me a little bit about their &quot;business goals.&quot; A good number who fill it out want something like &quot;top-5 rankings in Google and Yahoo for this keyword.&quot; Huh? That&#39;s not a business goal! A business goal is more like &quot;Bring more people to my website who are searching online for the types of products we sell.&quot; (As a side note, soon after writing this, I got an email from someone whose goal was to have their Flash site be &quot;#1 in all the search engines for the word &#39;spring.&#39;&quot; I kid you not!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#39;t get me wrong, I very much understand why people would love to move their rankings up from for a highly sought-after and targeted keyword phrase. I&#39;m quite sure it would very much increase their targeted traffic and their sales (assuming they&#39;re doing everything else right). My frustration lies in the fact that there are people who believe that somehow an SEO company can magically snap their fingers or wave their magic wand and make it so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the best SEOs are not magicians. They can&#39;t simply place a site at the top of the engines when there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of others that offer basically the same thing, and provide basically the same information. If they could, you&#39;d see a whole lot more millionaire SEOs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 3: Does this mean that SEO is quiet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absolutely not! But SEO that focuses on rankings for the most highly sought-after keywords in any given space is most definitely dying. This doesn&#39;t mean that you have to settle for keywords that receive few searches. It just means that you have to broaden your horizons and see the big picture. . Every website owner want to see their website top of the search engine’s search result page by searching there respective keywords.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very much important in case of &lt;strong&gt;e-commerce website&lt;/strong&gt;. Every Ecommerce website owner wants to see their product  easily reachable to their client  as well as their competitor. Now online sale &amp;amp; buying is become easy but every online shop owner wants to lead their business. So it need to update their website daily or weekly for the purpose of SEO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost every time I review one of those &quot;put me at #1&quot; prospects&#39; websites, I see tons of opportunities for fixing the site in general so that it will work better for both their users and the search engines. They are almost always so focused on their &quot;money phrases&quot; that they completely neglect many areas of their site. Instead they put their special phrase on every page and never research the thousands of others that are being typed into search engines every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 4: Content for Content&#39;s &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another trend I&#39;ve been seeing a lot lately is the creation of content simply for the sake of creating content. What&#39;s that all about? SEOs certainly throw the words &quot;good content&quot; around a lot, but why is it that nobody seems to know what that means? We now have a whole cottage industry of companies who will allegedly write &quot;good content&quot; for you. Worse, there are even some that will *rent* you content! Newsflash...good content has nothing to do with the history of your products. Nor is good content a bunch of madlib spam pages where you simply substitute keyword phrases from one page into the other. Good content isn&#39;t stuff you write for the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 5: What Exactly Is Good Content?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collection good content may lead your business in case of website marketing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good content is unique. Really and truly unique. It is creative ideas that simply popped into your head which nobody else in your space has thought of yet. The key to good content is creativity. Unfortunately, creativity itself seems to be a dying art. Being creative isn&#39;t looking at what your competitor is doing and copying them. It&#39;s being a leader, not a follower. It&#39;s having your own voice and your own opinions and expressing them, regardless of what others might think. It&#39;s pouring your heart and soul into your website, not looking for the next quick fix. And it&#39;s (say it with me) making your site the best it can be for your site visitors AND the search engines. It&#39;s what brings targeted traffic to our own site for thousands of phrases, and it&#39;s what will help your site gain traffic for whatever phrases relate to it. But it&#39;s not easy, and it&#39;s not fast. And it can&#39;t be done with the flick of a switch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 6: Determine Your True Goals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So please...if your pet phrase isn&#39;t ranking highly enough, don&#39;t call me and don&#39;t email me. In fact, don&#39;t call or email *any* SEO company. Instead of calling, you need to reassess your goals. No SEO company in the world will be able to help you unless you are ready to forget about what you think you want, and learn more about what you really need. Read that last sentence again until you really understand it. Forget about what you think you want, and learn more about what you really need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Trend 7: Beware of SEO Companies Who Will Tell You What You Want to Hear&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And remember, there are plenty of SEO companies that will say they can do whatever you want them to do. You want to be  for &quot;spring&quot;? Sure, no problem. They will happily take your money, do some work, and promptly get no results. Don&#39;t blame them though – they were just telling you what you wanted to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;div class=&quot;blogger-post-footer&quot;&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--

Here are my latest and greatest tips to get you started:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 1: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do not purchase a new domain unless you have to.&lt;/strong&gt; The search engines put a lot of stock in how long your website and domain have been around. While you can purchase a new domain and redirect your old one to the new one, your best bet is to use your existing domain/website if at all possible. If you’re redesigning or starting from scratch and you &lt;em&gt;have to&lt;/em&gt; use a brand-new domain for some reason, you can expect at least somewhat of a loss in search engine traffic. It could be anywhere from a few weeks to a few months or more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Domain name is most important keyword by default. So think first when you buy your new domain name. If your domain is related to your site category then user reached your site easily. It is top ranked keyword for you in all search engine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 2: Find Related Keywords&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before you even build your website you need to determine what niche or theme your website is about. Same with any other page, there’s going to be main topic for it. Once you decide on topic, you need to find keywords and phrases that relate to your theme, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;analyze&lt;/span&gt; them and pick most relevant ones but they also should be keywords in demand. It would be a waste of your time to optimize your website for keywords that nobody is even searching for. How do you find in demand keywords? The most popular resources are word tracker using these tools you will be able to narrow your keywords to ones that have the highest search volume and not that many websites to compete against which is known as Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 3: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optimize your site for your target audience, not for the search engines.&lt;/strong&gt; This may sound counterintuitive, but hear me out. The search engines are looking for pages that best fit the keyword phrase someone types into their little search box. If those “someones” are typing in search words that relate to what your site offers, then they are most likely members of your target audience. You need to optimize your site to meet *&lt;strong&gt;their&lt;/strong&gt;* needs. If you don’t know who your target audience is, then you need to find out one way or another. Look for studies online that might provide demographic information, and visit other sites, communities, or forums where your target audience might hang out and listen to what they discuss. This information will be crucial to your resulting website design, keyword research, and copywriting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 4: Analyze your Competition&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Website linking structure and number of links pointing to your site or page is crucial to ranking High in Google and if you rank good in Google, chances are you’ll probably do good in Yahoo and other search engines but top 3 search engines that will bring most traffic are Google, Yahoo and MSN. Analyzing your competitors is important and included in Free SEO tips because search engines do analyze incoming links to your website as part of their ranking criteria which is called Page Rank (PR).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what other websites are doing to rank on top of search results. In order to find out you need to gather a significant amount of data about the top ranking sites for whatever keyword or phrase you are trying to optimize your page for, like:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Competitions      rank in the Search Engines Results for given keyword&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;The number      of incoming links to the site home page, not including internal links.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;What      keywords they use in the title tag&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Number of      links containing keywords in the link text&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 5: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design and categorize your site architecture and navigation based on your keyword research.&lt;/strong&gt; Your research may uncover undiscovered areas of interest or ways of categorizing your products/services that you may wish to add to your site. For instance, let’s say your site sells toys. There are numerous ways you could categorize and lay out your site so that people will find the toys they’re looking for. Are people looking for toys to fit their child’s stage of development? (Look for keyword phrases such as “preschool toys.”) Or are they more likely to be seeking specific brands of toys? Most likely, your keyword research will show you that people are looking for toys in many different ways. Your job is to make sure that your site’s navigation showcases the various ways of searching. Make sure you have links to specific-brand pages as well as specific age ranges, specific types of toys, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 6: Content Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is very important issues to optimize your content. Optimize your image, image name, caption, alt tag. Content optimization include meta tag selection, optimize page content etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 7: Title Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many SEO professionals still argue over this but the page title tag element is still one of the most important factors for ranking highly in the search engines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The title tag is displayed as the first line of text in the blue row at the top of any browsing window. Search Engine Friendly title tag is ideally 3-9 words (60-80 characters) maximum in length, straight and to the point, this is what will show up in search engine results as a link to your page. Have at least one main keyword in title tag but don’t stuff all of your keywords in it.&lt;em&gt; SEO Tip&lt;/em&gt;: make sure your &lt;strong&gt;Page Title Tag&lt;/strong&gt; is relevant to the content on the page and EVERY page should have it’s own Title tag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 8: Meta Tags Optimization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;META tags are hidden code of information in the head area of your web pages and are used to communicate with search engine spiders/crawlers. The most important META tags you need to utilize in your webpages are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Description&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Keywords&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;li&gt;Robots&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optimization of Description Meta tags&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effective META description tag consists of 25 to 30 words or less but using no more than 160 to 180 characters total (including spaces) or some Search Engines would not consider it Search Engine Friendly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Optimization of Keywords Meta tags &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The meta keyword tag is also sometimes useful as a way to help your page come up for synonyms or unusual words that don’t appear on the page itself but don’t fret too much over your Keywords Meta tag, instead utilize keywords and keyword phrases from your Title Tag element, Description Meta Tag, heading tag and first one or two paragraphs of visible content. Optimal Keyword Meta Tag has 15 to 20 words max. &lt;em&gt;SEO Tip&lt;/em&gt;: Don’t repeat your keywords more than 3 times or search engine will consider it as spam of their search results and don’t include keywords that are not in the main content section of your page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Robots Meta tag&lt;/strong&gt; will let search engine know if you want a particular page to be or NOT be indexed or to follow or not to follow links on given page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 9: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Program your site to be “crawler-friendly.” &lt;/strong&gt;The search engines can’t fill out forms, can’t search your site, can’t read JavaScript links and menus, and can’t interpret graphics and Flash. This doesn’t mean that you can’t use these things on your site; you most certainly can! However, you do need to provide alternate means of navigating your site as necessary. If you have only a drop-down sequence of menus to choose a category or a brand of something, the search engine crawlers will never find those resulting pages. You’ll need to make sure that you always have some form of HTML links in the main navigation on every page which link to the top-level pages of your site. From those pages, you’ll need to have further HTML links to the individual product/service pages. (Please note that HTML links do NOT have to be text-only links. There’s nothing wrong with graphical image navigation that is wrapped in standard &amp;lt;a href&amp;gt; tags, as the search engines can follow image links just fine.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 10: Optimize Pages with Headings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write you site title inside the H1 tag in top of your website. Search engine mark it ..so first content of your site is more important for seo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Header tags will tell the search engine what words are important in the context of your page. Using &amp;lt;h1&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;h2&amp;gt;,&amp;lt;h3&amp;gt;, etc.. tags is the best way to highlight important keywords. With that in mind consider using keywords relevant to the page content (theme) in your Header Tags. The best practice is to place your primary keyword in your &amp;lt;h1&amp;gt; tags and your secondary keyword into the &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; tags.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;h2 and h3 header tags should be thought of as a sub headings for your page. You should place your 2nd most important keyword in the &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; header tag. The &amp;lt;h2&amp;gt; tag should be placed somewhere towards the top half of your webpage, in any case below &amp;lt;h1&amp;gt; tag.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 11: Use Linking and Anchor Text&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your site visitors and the search engines look at the clickable portion of your links (aka the anchor text) to help them understand what they’re going to find once they click through. Don’t make them guess what’s at the other end with links that say “click here” or other non-descriptive words. Be as descriptive as possible with every text and graphical link on your site. The cool thing about writing your anchor text and alt attributes to be descriptive is that you can almost always describe the page you’re pointing to by using its main keyword phrase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 12: Create Site Map and Google XML Map&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every website needs a &lt;strong&gt;Sitemap&lt;/strong&gt; big or small. Sitemap should be linked to from every page on your site. A site map will help users and search engine robots find all the important pages on your site with just two clicks. This is especially helpful if your site has a hard-to-crawl navigation menu like java script or images based navigation. For WordPress blogs I recommend downloading this free &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline;&quot;&gt;sitemap generator plugin&lt;/span&gt;. Smaller sites can use second navigation bar in the footer that will act as a small mini site map. This is nothing more than all your important pages as links in the footer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 13:Create Robots.txt file&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The robots.txt file will instruct search engine robots what pages and/or folders on your blog or website should be or should NOT be crawled and indexed. Most Content Management Software (WordPress, Joomla, etc.) will have files and folders that are not relevant for search engines (like images or admin files) and you really don’t want them to crawl them because there is no relevant content on them so creating a simple robots.txt file can actually improve your website crawlability and therefore rankings and organic traffic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 14: Submit your site in major search engine.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When your site is ready, submit it to Google, Yahoo, MSN and ASK.com. Consider also submittíng to other search engines but most of them are powered by these four leading search engines. Also submít your site to reputable high PR web directories, open directories, yellow pages and social bookmarking sites such as del.icio.us, furl, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 15: Submit related article into important article directory &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You need to write article related to your website category, And then submit in world famous article directory.It help you to link building of your site or back linking for your site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SEO Tips 16: Posting or commenting in related blog or forum &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Write comment in related blog with your website link, &amp;amp; attend in discussion in related forum. Its also help you link building.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improve your link building. Link to high PR websites. Quality of relevant links is far more important than quantity. Links will greatly improve your site&#39;s visibility, popularity and ranking.
