So, from the beginning, what exactly is SEO? Well, SEO is (as im sure you know) the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. Three words which are perhaps fairly self explanatory, however how to actually carry out the optimisation to your website is a different matter. There are in fact many different methods of optimisation. In this article I am going to share with you 10 methods, which I believe to have been the most effective for me. The main aim of this article is to discourage you from paying for SEO from big companies claiming to have the ability to make your site appear in Googles top 10. They may indeed have this ability, however so do you, or at least you will have after reading this, as, believe it or not, the methods the big money grabbing companies use are not entirely exclusive to them as they would like you to think. They are pretty much as follows:
My top 10 SEO tips
1. Content- Despite what anybody says content is the key. If a website has good content it will be much, much more likely to attract visitors, it stands to reason, people will visit your site if they can get what they want, they may even come back time and time again! Before you start to optimize your website you must first ask yourself the question. Does my website actually have quality content? If the answer to this in no then stop reading this now, you would be wasting your time to continue trying to optimize a site which has no purpose. If your site does have good, useful and original content then it is definitely worth spending time to optimize it.
A great way of becoming popular with search engines and visitors alike is to keep updating your website with new, fresh and original content! This will keep the Google bot crawling your site on a regular basis.
2. Text- Make sure your site has lots of it! Graphics are good for your visitors however bots such as the Google bot cannot read graphics and without pleasing the Google bot you will not get search engine traffic. Make sure that your website therefore contains loads of text! At least 150 words per page!
3. Keywords- Google search engine relies heavily upon keywords, thus making it important for you, the webmaster to include your keywords lots and lots of times throughout your site. It would be wise to include your keywords at least 5-10 times every 100 words if possible. Remember to keep your text sounding natural though, otherwise your visitors will not enjoy reading it.
4. Meta Tags- It is worth your while to include Meta Tags on your website, you will find that most good web design software will have the option to insert keyword and Meta description tags into your site. Some search engines rely heavily upon these Meta tags for their rankings- It is understood that Google does not attach much importance to Meta tags, however other search engines do!
5. Title tags- Make sure that your website makes use of title tags. A title tag should include keywords for the webpage that it links to; search engines value the keywords in title tags highly. Make sure that you choose keywords which are relevant to the webpage which you are linking to. If the page which you are linking to is for example, www.2create-a-money-making-website.com dont make your link title 2create-a-money-making-website! Make it something like, 2create-a-money-making-website! Advice for webmasters on SEO and website creation.

In case you do not know how to create a link with text like the two I have shown above, the HTML code is: Insert description (with no space between the < A at the beginning of the code)
6. Link popularity- Basically this is the amount of websites which link to your site. Search engines have a thing called Page rank, (this is what you will be increasing by carrying out SEO) In a paragraph, Page rank is the method which search engines, notably Google use in order to determine the ranking of a site, and thus its position on the search engine results page. The higher the amount of quality links leading to a page the higher it will be ranked. Remember, quality is king, hundreds of links from insignificant websites will probably get you less success than one link from a significant PR 5 or more site. I explain Page rank in much more detail in my article: Page rank explained

Remember, search the web for your keywords, and ask if you can participate in link exchange with high PR site (3+) which are themed on YOUR websites topic. This process WILL be worth your while in terms of upping your chances of getting in the top search results.

7. Structure- This sounds obvious, however, make sure that all of the links to all of your pages work. Furthermore ensure that all of your pages link to your home page. If you are using fancy methods of web design such as flash then be sure that you include text links at the bottom of each page to lead on to other pages. (Search engine bots will be able to read the text links but probably not the flash). Also, create a site map; this can be as basic as a page full of links to all the other pages on your site. It is however useful to write a short description under each link. This site map should then be linked to from your homepage. It will help search engines bots to discover all of your websites pages!
8. Submission to directories- submit your site to a few large directories such as the DMOZ open directory. Submit your site to Yahoos index and Googles index. You could submit your site to many other online directories however if you do this can be time consuming. Be sure to only bother submitting to directories which have PR 3 or above. Using Googles toolbar as I have mentioned above is a good way of checking a directorys PR.
9. Write blogs or articles which include links to your website. This is a great way of linking to your website from content which is relevant. Search engines and viewers alike love to read a good article with original content. Remember to follow the instructions I gave in Tip 6 in order to create a good link title with relevant key words for the site which you are linking to.
10. Submit comments on websites which are relevant to your topic, make sure that you include a link to your website. This is a good way of increasing your page rank by getting a relevant link to your site. It is also a good way of attracting actual visitors who also read through the comments. Unfortunately some sites do not allow the insertion of links, but keep looking! You WILL FIND the ones that do!
So there you have it! My top 10 tips. I hope they are useful to you, as I mentioned they have worked for me. Remember, be patient, any changes in Googles search engine rankings take time! As I always say, if you have a site with good quality content you will eventually get traffic!
