Search Engine Optimization - The Forgotten Rules
by Darren W Chow 11/4/2009
Rule 1: Always include the primary keyword phrase in the page title.
By following this simple rule, you can boost your search rankings by several positions without having to do anything else. This is the most basic rule, but it’s also one of the most effective. Fire up your HTML editor, make the change, and see the results for yourself.
Rule 2: Proper link structure.
Have a proper linking structure for your website. Don’t expect the search engines to find web pages quickly if they are 10 levels deep. If you really need so many levels, use a site map. A site map can be created within minutes. Include all the pages on your site in the site map so that search engines can index all the pages quickly. Usually, you won’t even need a site map if you have a clear linking structure. Try adopting the tree (or top-down) approach.

Many beginners start by stuffing their content with the same keywords over and over again. Bear in mind that the search engines don’t like keyword stuffing and may even penalize your site. When creating content, don’t worry about keyword density or anything of that unnatural stuff. Just write as ... add comment [ comments 0 ]
