Have you heard of website optimization ? If you are building a
website or have a new one and you have never heard of it, then
you had better take note, because if you want to climb the ladder on
the search engines it is something you need to learn about.
Website optimization means optimising
your website so the search engine spiders will love it.
If you have not already done so, then you need to choose a
domain name that will compliment your website. For instance if
you are building a business website then choose something to do with
business. Think up a few as you due to all the millions
of websites out there you might have to put in four or five before
it is accepted. Next decide what keywords you are going to use,
these need to be in your title and spread lightly throughout your
index page. you will also put your keywords into your meta tags and
description. The meta tags go into the header of your website, if
you are unsure how meta tags should look just go to a website in the
searches and click on view on your pc, then click on source. This
will show you the HTML of that website, scroll to the top of the
page and between the <head> and </head> you will see the meta tags.
Links are an important part of optimization. When the spider
finds loads of links from other websites to yours then you will see
your pr going up.When you ask another webmaster for a reciprocal
link, never demand, always ask in a nice polite way, and always make
sure their link is on your website before you ask. If they
don't reply in one month then you can easily delete it. An easy
way to remember who has linked to you is to place a star in front
of, it, or make your link page into two sections, as they reply with
a link then you can move their link up to the top section. Finally
try your hand at writing articles, you may think you will be
hopeless at it, but once you start it is surprising what you will
come up with, every one has interests of some kind, just write as if
you telling someone about it an article will appear like a
miracle. Now when your website is finished and you have completed
all the tasks set, don't sit back and think hurray that's all done,
because you are just at the beginning. If you really want to
reach the top of those searches then spend at least an hour a day
adding new content to your website, your pages will mount up and so
will your PR. With in six to nine months you should reach the top
twenty if you have done a good job. Sylvia White Author and owner of
