Ten Top Tips for SEO

By Jon Brown

1. The chances of your website getting targetted traffic is increased if you place your chosen keyword into the title of your website. This is because it makes it easy for search engine roberts to find out what your website is about. You can find the title tag at the top of your website between the head tags.

The title should contain text that people can relate to, as it's this that will show up in the search result. You should treat it like a headline.

2. Link pages within your site together using the keyword as the anchor text. This works better with large sites with a lot of pages, and the more links you use with the keyword as the anchor text the better.

3. Your title text should appear at least once in the content of your website. This ensures search engines know that the body of the website is relevant to the content.

It will also help if you put your keywords in a couple of sub-headings too. Make them stand out a bit by highlighting them or use bold wording.

4. Ensure that each page on your website has a different title - when search engine robots scan your website they might assume that each page is the same if they all contain the same heading. If this happens it might not index your website.

5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

6. Never link to a link farm website. Search engines know what these are and will lower your ranking for it.

7. Your website must be designed for a person, not a robot. Make sure all webpages are designed this way as search engine robots prefer pages that are human-friendly and contain data that is relevant to the search query.

8. I alway ensure I have a contacts page and terms of use page on my website. Not only does this look more professional to users but search engines also like this!

9. Using the alt tag for every image, ensure there is a description for each image. This helps search engine robots index your page.

10. Submit your website manually to search engines. If you use a submission service or software your website might get banned.
