The Creative Design Blog

1. Make sure search engines can find your website by putting your chosen keywords into the title of your website. These tags are found at the top of the website between the head tags. The chances of getting targeted traffic to your site greatly increase with this step.

Treat the title like a headline. Try to draw attention to your site with a good headline because this is what people will see in the search results.

2. Link pages within your site together using the keyword as the anchor text. This works better with large sites with a lot of pages, and the more links you use with the keyword as the anchor text the better.

3. Your title text should appear at least once in the content of your website. This ensures search engines know that the body of the website is relevant to the content.

It will also help if you put your keywords in a couple of sub-headings too. Make them stand out a bit by highlighting them or use bold wording.

4. Ensure that each page on your website has a different title – when search engine robots scan your website they might assume that each page is the same if they all contain the same heading. If this happens it might not index your website.

5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.

6. Never link to a link farm website. Search engines know what these are and will lower your ranking for it.

7. Ensure all websites are designed for the human reader and not search engine roberts. Search engine roberts prefer websites that are written for people to read and that contain relevant information.

8. I would always recommend having a contact and terms of use page. Search engines like this because it shows the website is more professional and therefore more trustworthy.

9. Make sure every image on your website is described using the alt tags. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.

10. When submitting your website to search engines to so personally – don’t use software or other submission services to do it for you as this could result in your website being penalised or banned.

This is the best traffic generator on the internet! Using it again and again WILL get you to the front page of Google for almost any keyword!
