Site preparation for search engines

Just some tips to make your site look interesting to the search engines.

1. Use the text in your web pages to describe specifically what you have to offer, especially if it is a certain geographical area or niche. You don't need to repeat or overdo the same phrases but use as many synonymous words as possible to describe what you offer. Don't overdo the text. Less is more.

2. Use keywords effectively when building your site. If you have someone else buiding your site, make sure they are doing this.

3. Use your meta tags or have your web designer or webmaster use the meta tags.

4. Define who your target audience is and write your text, name and/or tag your images as well as any files with specific words that will attract that audience.

5. Put yourself in the place of your target audience. If you were going to search for the information contained in your site, what words would you use to search for it? Use those words and terms in your site.

I hope this helps!

    Thanks for sharing Kim.

    I've got one more. Link back to your site by commenting on an authority site with a high PR rank and you should get indexed fairly quickly, sometimes within hours.

    If you want your site indexed quickly by the search engines a good link is always great, but I highly recommend submitting your XML SITEMAP to the search engines. This can be done automatically via a wordpress plugin or manually at :

    Title Tag
    The title tag is the most powerful on-site SEO technique you have. What you place in the title tag should only be one thing, the exact keyword you used for the web page that you are trying to optimize. Every single web page should have it's own title tag.

    Avoid Common Anchor Text
    Avoid putting same anchor text in every page otherwise it can make you a spammer in search engine’s eye. Use different anchor text and it is very important that you don't repeat this text involuntarily.

    The easiest way to get found on Google is using a Wordpress plug and build backlinks. I can usually get a site indexed in a couple of hours if I really need it indexed. I produce SEO Power Wheels with links from High PR sites linking to each other and back to my money site. Yes the title tag is the easiest On Site tool you can use - install the All in One SEO plugin for WP and you are on your way.
