Search Engine Optimize (SEO)

Insert keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will know what your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keywoard or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site or blog.

Make sure the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.

Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site/blog. This is especially useful if your site or blog contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.

Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of page.

Adding the ecact same for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link anda have arrived at the page where they intended to visit. Robots like this too becouse now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline.
Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red. A good place to do this is once or twice in the body at the top of your article and in the sub-headings.

Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed.

Use the headline of pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what the page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.

Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

Do not link to link-farms or other search engine unfriendly neighborhoods

Do not use doorway pages. Doorway pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which contain content which is relevant to the search

Title tags for text links. Insert the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images

Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers

Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use a submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned
