My Red SEO internet marketing training and tips

5 easy steps to get you started with Search Engine Optimization.

1.Watch your words. Think about the words that your customers would type in and you come up in the search results. This should be specific to the area or niche that you specialize in. Make a list of words and phrases that you want to be known for. Once you have this list, keep it handy, as we will be using and referring to it quite a bit. I often keep a word document open with my keywords, so that i can copy and paste.

2.Find natural ways of getting these keywords on your pages. Make sure not to over do it. Just like most of us don’t like to be sold, the consumer can spot wording that overdoes it on the keywords. Make it genuine, and your own, but be sure to get those keywords in there too.

3.Add you keywords to your page title. This is major. This is the most important place to put your keywords.  It shows up as the link to your site in a search engine and it’s a critical ranking factor. Try to keep your title to ten words or less.

4.Take the time to put in meta tags and meta tag descriptions. This is the summary of your site that shows up in search results. If you put images in your posts, fill out the description of the image, as search engines can’t decipher what images are.

5.Try to include keywords in your domain name. While it is important to own your own name as a domain name, it is better to get another one that contains at least part of your keywords or phrases.
