Links

1. Internal site links should have text that can stand alone. Link text gives the visitor a good idea of the content on the linked page. Don't be afraid to have long link titles. Ex: Nevada's Free SEO Chat Room.

2. User friendly site navigation. Ideal site navigation allows visitors to jump from any page on the web site to any other page on the web site, without using Javascript or Flash. Keep it organized and logical!

3. Obtain quality inbound links from other web sites. A good place to start is submitting your site to web directories and local directories.

4. Provide links to other quality web sites. Links are useful to your visitors and may result in others linking to you. Don't be stingy about links, but be sure to link to quality content on quality web sites.

Content - Starting at the top of the page:

5. Title tags should be keyword rich and focused. Keep it below 60 characters. If you can't, you may need to focus your page more sharply on one topic. Move any off-topic content to another page.

6. Meta description tags should be written to get PEOPLE to click on your web site link on search engine results pages.

7. Meta keyword tags should simply be your primary keyword phrase. No need to be elaborate or spam a bunch of keywords.

8. Body content should be focused, high-quality, free of errors and useful enough that others will link to it. Would you link to it?

9. High-quality, meaningful content will naturally attract positive and productive attention. "Content Is King" and search engines work very hard to make their results reflect it!

10. Make sure that your sales page is highly visible! Many websites unintentionally make it difficult to find where and how to buy from them.
