Give Your Website A Chance

Written by Elizabeth McGee


Continued from page 1

You will need to do this for each page of your site. Each page needs to have it's own set of tags. I also recommend focusing on one keyword per page, two atrepparttar very most. Too many keywords can confuse what your page is about.

Always make sure that your keywords are scattered throughout your text as well, however don't sacrifice good content for nonsense. Your text should be easy to read and should not sound redundant. Make your pages at least 250 words.

** Testimonials**

Solicit feedback from buyers you've had. Ask them to write a small testimonial that you can place on your site. This goes a long way to help convince your visitor that your products and services are sound.

** Linking **

Reciprocal linking is a common and effective tactic for obtaining search engine status and page rank but it's alsorepparttar 132419 most time consuming. It requires making contacts, following up with contacts and updating your website.

While reciprocal linking is an excellent way of establishing page rank it's notrepparttar 132420 only way. Page rank can also be established by submitting your site to directories, writing articles and setting up blogs. Don't underestimaterepparttar 132421 power of website links. Takerepparttar 132422 extra few hours a day and get your site noticed.

** Offer Guarantees *

Always offer your products with a guarantee. This is oftenrepparttar 132423 extra boost a buyer needs to makerepparttar 132424 purchase.

A good site will offer 100%, no-questions-asked, money-back guarantees. People rarely take advantage of such guarantees but it's this statement that may tiprepparttar 132425 scales in your favor.

** Submit Your Site **

Last, but not least, don't neglect to submit your site torepparttar 132426 search engines. Many of them are no longer free butrepparttar 132427 fees are nominal and worthrepparttar 132428 expense. Google still offers a free submit and it's easy, simply type in your URL address, however make sure your meta tags include a title and description tag first.

Forrepparttar 132429 free search engines I don't recommend using automated submissions. Submit them yourself taking care to compose accurate titles descriptions and keywords.
