Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Back links
• Press releases
• Syndicated articles
• E-newsletters

1. Understand "black hat" SEO. This is the dark side of SEO. It involves deceptive measures to trick both customers and search engine robots. Methods like "cloaking" and "spamdexing" will not only frustrate users, but may get you lower search engine ratings in the long run.

2. Understand keywords. When users are looking for your website, they'll use keywords or search terms. Pages with many relevant keywords in the first 50 to 70 words will show up higher on the search results.

3. Understand inbound links. Inbound links are another fundamental way that search engines rank websites. Essentially, an inbound link is a link from another website to yours. The more relevant inbound links you have, the more popular site appears and the higher it gets rated.

4. Optimize on-page content. This involves fine-tuning the contents of the website to make it more friendly to both users and search engine robots. Optimizing keyword density, including meta tags and structuring the website will help a site rank high in the search engines.

5. Create articles for syndication. Developing informative, unique content and then sharing it with other sites is an excellent way to build back links.

6. Send out press releases and e-newsletters. These help build link popularity and awareness of your site as well as encourage previous customers to return.

Tips & Warnings

• Create different Title and META tags on every page. This allows each page to be included in a search.
• Creating a site map page makes sites easier to navigate both for users and search engine robots.
• Learning how search engine robots work is key in optimizing your page. Read the resources below to learn more about individual spiders.
• Avoid addressing several different topics or themes on the same page. This confuses search engine spiders. Instead, create a separate page for each topic.
