SEO Search Engine Optimization Techniques Tips and Tricks.

There isn't a holy grail of seo optimization where by you will achieve a high ranking google search engine position. There is however certain things you can do to improve your chances of ranking high in search engines and tip the scales in you favor.

1. Always title your documents - Never, ever leave a page 'Untitled'. Include keywords in the title of your page. The keywords should be a combination's of words. For instance if you are selling cheap rabbit food, don't title your page 'rabbit'. Give it a more meaningful name like 'Discount Rabbit Food', 'Cheap Rabbit Food' etc. Just naming your pages with one keyword is vague and will severely affect your position in a search engines search results.

2. When beginning to write your document or product sales pitch. Include your seo keywords in an h1 tags at the beginning of your page. Preferably just below the body tag. You can use css to make the keywords less noticeable. But don't over do it. You can easily go overboard with this. Limit your seo keywords to 3-5 per page. Use css to re-size the font so it doesn't look out of place.

3. When creating pages or html documents it helps to name them in this convention.
seo-engine-optimization-tips.html

Instead of:

searchengineoptimizationtips.html

Most search engines treat the "-" as a space character and skip it when indexing your pages. They have a harder time reading long lines like 'searchengine'.

4. When placing images in your website use the 'alt' and 'title' tags. Using the 'alt' tag is considered good etiquette, since it is used by the visually impaired.

5. When creating documents or html keep your documents organized into folders. Again using your keywords in the folders name and the file name. Try to use a more broad keyword for the folder name and a more specific or group of keywords for the file name. Again using the "-" in between your seo keywords.

For instance:
If you were preparing a tutorial on seo optimization like i'm doing here. It would be wize to place the file in "/seo/" <<--- search-engine-optimization-tutorial.html

6. When linking between pages use your keywords in the anchor text of a link.

7. Make your seo changes to your website prior to having it indexed by google. It's a pain having to wait for google crawl your site again when you've made important changes. If your site hasn't been indexed by google you'll want to get a link to your website on a high ranking site and one that is crawled by google on a daily basis.

If you have a website that offers products or services, place and ad on a high traffic website like craigslist. Use your keywords heavily on the first paragraph of your advertisement. However don't rely on craigslist for all your traffic. You'll soon notice that once you've optimized your advertisement with some of the search optimization tricks found here, the ad will slowly start to decline in position on google's search engine results. So only depend on this technique when you want to get your site indexed initially.

8. Republish your sites navigation at the end of your pages. Not only is this a good for navigation but you'll also be able to squeeze and extra seo keyword.

9. Always include Meta tags in your html documents. Include your search engine optimized keywords in your description.

10. Don't ever stop trying new things. Search Engine Optimization (seo) is an ever changing mix of techniques. What works today might not always work tomorrow.
