Major Search Engine Tips
- Do
not use the same word in your meta tags more than three times.
Remember most engines are case sensitive, so you can use that
to your advantage. Webmaster and webmaster are not the same thing.
- Try
to put keywords in your body tag as close to the top of the page
as possible, you also want to place them as close to each other
as possible too.
- Try
to use as many keywords in your links as possible.
- Backup
your keywords that are in your meta tags, by placing the same
words in your body tag. Never place a keyword just in the meta
tag. In fact, some engines will not even consider a word keyword
if it is not in both your meta tags and your body tags.
- Try
to come up with some unusual keyword, that not too many other
webmasters have thought of. But make sure it is still specific
and still relates to the topic of your site.
- Put
keywords in your 'Alt' tags.
- Having
links to other sites on your page can boost your ranking.
- Do
not submit the same page more than once in a day to each major
engine, you could get kicked out for good.
- A
doorway page is a good idea to rank higher in the search engines.
You can make it "search engine friendly".
- Never
have text the same color as the page background or table background.
That's a really big no,no and it could get you kicked out of the
engine for good and is considered spamming. I used to think
this was a good idea until I actually did get kicked out of a
search engine.
- Update
some of your pages at least every 30 days because some search
engines will rank you higher for doing that.
- Some
search engines base your ranking on how many clicks your site
gets from their engine or how many times you come up in their
search results, so the more clicks or exposures your site gets
the higher you can rank.
- A
lot of Search Engines don't like it when pages 'meta refresh'
really fast and might rank you lower for that.
- Use
keywords in your title, meta description, meta keywords, and body
tags.
- I
suggest only using 5 of the same keyword in the body tag, if you
use more than that you are risking getting kicked out of the engine
for spamming.
