Essential SEO Tips

Are you getting high quality, targeted traffic to your website?

This is the key ingredient to online success: high quality, targeted traffic to your website. Chances are if you’re reading this you already have a website. But your website isn’t getting the amount of traffic you want it to?

You may have tried purchasing cheap traffic solutions for your website? It can cost as low as $10 for 1000 hits to your website. But the quality of the traffic is worthless. The traffic must be targeted to your website.

Get ready for some essential SEO tips!

Search engine optimisation is the fine art of optimising your website so it appears at the top of the search engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask, MSN etc). For example; If your website sells pine furniture then you’re going to want to appear on the first page of Google for the search term “Pine Furniture”.

Why optimise your website? For one simple reason… profit.

If your website has been optimised for search engines it will appear higher up in the search results when compared to your competitors.

Put simply; this means more targeted traffic to your website. More targeted traffic equates to more sales. You can probably guess what more sales means? That’s right… more profit.

Is your website search engine friendly? Your website must be friendly to the search engines if you want the search engines to put your website at the top of the results.

As I’m sure you’re aware; all websites are built using a scripting language called HTML. The HTML of your website must adhere to very strict standards in order for search engines to rank your website highly.

The Word Wide Web Consortium sets out very strict standards when it comes to HTML code. Luckily there’s a very useful tool that can check the HTML of your website instantly. I’ll come to this later…

Is your website communal? Have you heard the old saying; it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

Well, the same applies to websites.

The more websites that link back to yours, the better ranking you’ll get in the search results. In other words; the more popular your website is (the more websites it knows), the better you’ll rank.

Do you remember that tool I mentioned earlier? The same tool will also tell you instantly how many websites link back to yours, and therefore how popular your website is.

In conclusion… I’ve covered two basic, but very crucial ways of optimising your website; keep the HTML compliant and increase the number of websites that link to you.
