SEO TIPS

 50+ SEO tips and tricks you should
  and should not be doing on your Web
  pages to make them rank higher in
  search engines. This list looks at more
  than just meta tags and the basics of
  SEO, so even if you've got some of the
  factors, you may not have ever ything.
  Scroll to the end of the list to look at
  the things you should never be doing,
  as well as the things you should
  always do at the beginning…
 High Priority
 Medium Priority
 Low Priority
 Avoid
 Avoid or Get Banned
SEO TIPS

 Write great content (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
   Great content is where it all starts. You can have all the keywords in the
    world, but if your content is no good, people won't stick around on your
    site and search engines won't find your site valuable.
  Write unique content (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
        Unique content is important too. You need to provide content that has
  different information than what is on other sites and other Web pages .
  Add new content all the time (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
        Sites that have new content added on a regular basis are seen as
  more reliable than sites that rarely do. This also helps you to increase the
  amount of relevant content on your site, which also improves your
  rankings.
  Create a great keyword phrase (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
  The first thing you should do when working on search engine optimization
  is find a great keyword phrase for that page. You shouldn't try to optimize
  your entire site to one keyword phrase - instead focus on writing pages for
  specific keywords and phrases.
SEO TIPS

 Choose a phrase t hat is popular, but not too popular (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
    When trying to decide on a keyword phrase, you want to find one that is popular
     but not extremely popular. This may seem counter -intuitive, but the reality is that
     extremely popular keywords are very desirable and so very competitive. It's better
     to try to optimize for keywords that you can rank higher. You'll get more page
     views from a less popular keyword when you're on the first or second page of the
     search engines, than from a super popular keyword that you only make it to page
     50 of search engines.
 Write an accessible site (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
    Accessible HTML is accessible to both search engine spiders and screen readers.
     The more accessible you make your pages, the easier it will be for search engines
     to read and rank your pages.
 Use the keyword phrase in your t itle t ag ( HIGH PRIORIT Y)
    The title tag is one of the most important tags on your Web page. And placing
     your keyword phrase in the title tag, preferably at the beginning, is very
     important to get that phrase into the search engines. Plus, that puts your
     keyword phrase as the link in the search engine index.
SEO TIPS

 Get a domain with your keyword phrase (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
        Putting your keyword phrase in your domain name is a great way
        to optimize for that phrase.

 Use the keyword phrase in your URL ( HIGH PRIORIT Y)
        Even if you can't get your keywords into your domain name, you
        can put them into your URLs.
       Search engines read the URLs and assign value to the text they find there .

 Use your keyword phrase a lot, but not too much ( HIGH PRIORIT Y)
       The ratio of your keywords to the rest of the text on your page is
       called the keyword density. It's impor tant to repeat your keywords
       in your document, but not too much . Keyword density should be
       between 3 and 7% for your primar y keyword phrase and 1 -2% for
       any secondar y keywords or keyword phrases.
SEO TIPS

 Use your keyword phrase in headlines (HIGH PRIORIT Y)

SEO TIPS

 Tr y to g et links from reputable sites ( HIGH PRIORIT Y)
         Reputable sites that link to you will increase your reputation.
         Af ter all, if a reputable site feels that your site is valuable
         enough to link to, that means that your page has more value. You
         can tell if a site is considered reputable both by how high it
         appear s in search engines and it's Google PageRank . Also, . edu
         sites have a higher reputation because they represent schools
         and universities.
 Tr y to g et links from similar sites (HIGH PRIORIT Y)
         Inbound links from sites similar to your own are impor tant as
         well. This indicates that your site does have content related to
         that topic. Plus, it indicates that your competition finds your site
         valuable, and that gives your site more credibility.
 Tr y to g et links from . edu, and . g ov sites ( HIGH PRIORIT Y)
         Sites that are on . edu and .gov top-level domains have a large
         amount of credibility because they are ver y dif ficult to get. So if
         you can get the designers of those sites to link to you, that gives
         your site more credibility as well.
SEO TIPS

 Keep your site content inside one theme (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
   The theme or topic of your entire site is important as well. If you have a
    lot of pages all around one basic theme, that will lend more credibility to
    each page that follows that same theme.
 Keep your site live as long as possible (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
   Older pages (at the same domain) will rank higher than newer ones.
 Create a sitemap (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
       Search engines love sitemaps - not necessarily for
       ranking, but for finding links on your site. It's not critical
       that you create an XML sitemap or Google sitemap, plain
       HTML sitemaps work just as well .
 Create an XML sitemap or Google sitemap (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
   Search engines love sitemaps - not necessarily for ranking, but for
    finding links on your site. It's not critical that you create an XML
    sitemap or Google sitemap, plain HTML sitemaps work just as well.
SEO TIPS

 Use 301 redirects for permanent redirects (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
   When you redirect your pages, you should always use a 301 http
    server redirect. This tells the search engines that the redirect is
    permanent and that they should change their index to use the new
    URL. Spammers use other types of redirects (HTTP 302
    redirects and meta refresh), so they are not a good idea to use.
 Use 302 redirects only for long or ugly URLs (MEDIUM
  PRIORIT Y)
   HTTP 302 redirects are for temporary redirects. The only time you
    should use them is for redirecting ugly URLs to more user -friendly
    ones. This tells the search engine that the ugly URL should not be
    removed from the index, because the user-friendly URL is just to
    make the URL palatable. Keep in mind that many spammers use 302
    redirects to fool search engines. So be judicious in your use of them.
SEO TIPS

 Get as many inbound links as you can (MEDIUM PRIORIT Y)
   Links are important, especially from sites other than your own. These are
    called inbound links. And if you get a lot of inbound links, that will help
    your page ranking. Remember that 1-2 links from high-reputation sites
    are better than 10 links from link farms.
 Put your keyword phrase in the first paragraph (MEDIUM
  PRIORIT Y)
   Repetition of your keyword phrase is important in your content. But it's
    especially important in the first one or two paragraphs of text. And if you
    can repeat it once in the first paragraph that will help up it's priority.
 Put your keyword phrase at the top of the HTML (MEDIUM
  PRIORIT Y)
   More than just the first paragraph, you should try to move your content
    towards the top of the HTML document. And that includes your keyword
    phrase
