Search Engine Optimization For Non-Techies

Advertising your site on search engines like google is not free, since every click you get costs you money.

Of course, the better your pages are, the more likely the search engines will list them for free, and let people click all day without charging you a penny.

Google has this thing called a quality score, which is measured by something called Page Rank. Not even Larry Page knows how it is calculated, but I can show you some simple steps you can take to get higher search engine results and higher Page Rank.

Sound cool? Then lets dig into things you can do to get good rankings in the search engines.

1. Have other sites link to your pages using keywords.

This just means that other sites have a link to your site, and the text people click is a keyword that others search for on the search engines.

A fantastic way to get a lot of these links is to write an article and submit it to the article banks on the web. There are thousands of them, and the more that get your article, the more likely other websites will syndicate your article, and include that link back to your website, with the keyword you have chosen.

2. Include your keywords in your title tag.

The title tag is what is at the top of your browser when people visit your page. Your keyword should be there.

3. Start your headline with your keyword.

Putting your keyword in your headline reaffirms the theme of your web page, so the search engines are pretty much convinced they know what your page is about. The headline is the biggest text on your web page, usually at the very top of the page.

4. Put related keywords on your page.

Some folks call this semantic indexing, but you can ignore those big words, and simply write meaningful stuff on your page, and you will have related words that tell the search engines that this is stuff that humans should see.

5. Remove the programming jargon from your main html file.

To look at your page in html mode, open it, and then right click and choose “view source”. What you are looking for is stuff that isn’t readable, like javascript code and “css” descriptions. Move that stuff into other files, and include it from your page. Get the help of a techie if you don’t get this part. Basically, you want Google and the other bots to read writing you can read, and nothing else. If the top of your page is filled with programming junk, you will not get ranked in the search engines.

6. Put the full link to your internal HTML pages.

This means instead of linking to flowers.html, you should link to http://www.yoursite.com/flowers.html. This makes the search engines visit your other pages, and list them in their results.

7. Maintain your site.

Frequent updates means your site is alive and dynamic, and this will cause the search engine spiders to come often, and keep you listed high in their results, since you have the latest, most important publications.

Put these tips into action, and watch how it improves your results, but in your listings in the search engines, and in the extra web site traffic it creates. SEO is easy, once you know the simple steps to take - so take a step now.
