Getting your website noticed by Google is VERY IMPORTANT. Over 80% of the traffic from the Internet is from search engine traffic. You want Google to be able to easily crawl your website and index your pages. You can direct Google to do so by optimizing your website in what is known as SEO (Search engine optimization). We're going to go over some of the basics of SEO and what you can do to easily ensure that Google give your site the traffic it deserves.

Keyword Research - We talked about this in the previous chapters. You've have to make sure you are using good keywords. Not something with a lot of competition but keywords that are just right. You can use Keyword Elite for your keyword research.

Title Tags – Google weighs the Title tags of your web pages heavily in it's ranking algorithms. You need to include your main Keyword(s) within the title. Everything following that needs to describe a little something about your website. A Good title is at least 160 Characters in length.

Content & Articles – The same rules apply for content on your website as did the SEO in the ezine articles. You need to include your main keyword(s) in the heading of the article as well as the first couple sentences of the article.

Meta Tags – meta tags are another important way for the search engines to rank and identify your website.

 

<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="Your descriptive sentence or two goes here.">

Above is an example of the “meta description” tag. Your website(s) should always include this tag. To optimize simply include your main keyword(s) in the description along with a couple sentences describing the services of your site(s).

Anther meta tag is the “meta keywords” tag. Google and other top search engine s really don't look at the meta keywords tag anymore. You won't need to worry about that one as much.

Building Backlinks. - This is probably one of the most important aspects of your SEO campaign. A big factor in effecting your rankings in Google relies on the relevancy of the sites linking to you.
