SEO Optimization Techniques

SEO is such a hot topic these days. How do you get your web site within the first page or two of the search engines? How do you increase your Google page rank?
However, there are some simple things you can do when building your site that will help increase your site chances of having good results. In no particular order, below are 10 of these items…

1. Title Tag : The TITLE tag should be kept between 60 - 90 characters in length. I've consider many conflicting reports on TITLE length, but a good practical tutorial guide is Google. In search results, Google currently displays only approximately 65 characters of the title - some engines display more. Keeping this in mind, have the most important keywords at the beginning of your title.

2. Meta Tags : The Meta tag in html is not a required tag when you're creating your web pages; many pages don't use the tag at all, and I must confess that I've not used it on my home page, although I put it into this page by way of demonstration. To put it briefly, the meta tag is only used by search engines to permit them to more accurately list your site in their indexes. Sometimes.

3. Proper Use of Heading Tags : H1 should be used for the top level headings, so depending on it's context h1 should then be followed by the sub heading h2, then h3 and so on.Using an h1 for the main heading on the page, such as contact us is the way I would go.

4. Alt Attributes on Images : In Internet market its very important to Optimizing images in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) for websites. The ALT attribute is a critical step that is often overlooked. This can be a lost opportunity for better rankings.

5. Title Attributes on Links : The title attribute can be used on nearly every element and is even compulsory on several Frames.
