Join communities; we are not merely talking about bombarding a lot of blogs and forums with spam. Provide something of value, answer questions or solve problems.

Search engine-optimized web design is an essential part of SEO that needs to be taken seriously by every site owner who truly wants his/her web pages to rank well in organic searches. On-page SEO works in conjunction with targeted off-page efforts to achieve desired results.

Here is a standard step-by-step guide to what a webmaster needs to implement on his/her website, to enhance SERPs ranking.

It’s very important to start thinking about SEO before you choose a web designer, since search engine-optimized website design works with off-page SEO efforts to make a difference in organic search rankings. If you can’t design a site by yourself, I recommend you only pick an SEO-minded web designer.

Search Engine-optimized Web Design:

A) Title Tag

Textual content found within the Title tag of a web page is considered the most important keyword. All major search engine bots start their crawling of a web page at this tag, if it’s present. Never leave the title unfilled or use keywords the web page doesn’t target. SEO experts place the most-targeted keywords of every webpage there, and I urge you to do the same. Whatever you put in there is what search engines will show on their SERPs, whenever your page ranks for user queries of certain terms related to the website page.

Therefore, give it a good thought and use the keywords or key phrases that would surely entice web searchers to click on your link. Every web page should have unique Title that relates to its textual content. The keywords you ...

Keyword Research - The Key To Successful Search Engine Optimisation


by  Keith Lunt 12/27/2010

There are two types of keywords - those that can produce sufficient traffic for you and those that won’t. If you do not do your research correctly, you could be optimising either for a term that hasn’t got any traffic or is just that competitive that you never will get high enough to get traffic from it. And I know from bitter experience that this can leave you top of the search terms, but with no visitors. So it is vital to get it right.

How much traffic do you need?
Of course, for some websites selling high end niche products with high conversion rates, just a dozen or two extra visitors per month could bring in a lot of extra income. But for a blog earning from AdSense with a CPM of around $0.50, even 10,000 extra visitors per month is hardly going to increase revenue.

So it is up to you, as you are the one that knows your web site, to decide how many extra visitors you think you need per month. We come back to this in a minute!

Finding keyword suggestions
This is where the process starts. First of all, you should get a list of possible keywords with traffic. This is very easy to do. Just go to the Google Keyword selector tool and type in a few single keywords that are relevant to your traffic needs. At this point, keep them broad and look through the results that are returned.

Now against each suggestion there is the count of ...
