1) Crystal Clear Source Code (HTML/CSS)

Many web-designers give far too much importance to look and graphics of website while ignoring clarity of source code. Clean and well-written source code is first step to website design success. If a spider cannot find your keywords, you might just as well forget about search engine optimization.

2) Keywords in Title Tags.

Keywords in title tags are one of most important factors for optimization. Search engines display your title tags in search results. This tells surfers what your page is about.

3) Easy Navigation Links.

While preparing layout of your website, remember navigation links. They must be clearly visible. Hidden links must be removed. Navigation links embedded with key words are an asset in search engine ranking. But beware -- stuffing your navigation links with too many keywords may land you in trouble!

4) Keyword Rich

Pages BUT Understandable Content. Yes - search engines love keyword rich content. This does not mean you have to stuff your articles with meaningless sentences. A keyword rich article can contain a keyword density of five to seven percent. Your articles must also be well edited to make them both search engine and user friendly. Invisible keywords and keyword-spamming are a no-no.

5) Using Heading Tags (

Often there are hundreds of writers competing for same, limited number of assignments, and writer who can best showcase his or her abilities is one who lands job.

Editors, however, are very busy people, and don’t have time nor inclination to sift through hundreds of resumes and clips they receive in search of your information. If your credits and clips are not right there on an editor’s desk, or available with a single click of mouse, that plum assignment is going to go to writer who managed to catch editor’s eye; even if you’re better writer for job.

So, how do you get your writing clips into hands of editors looking for writers? Easy, with your own online resume!

A personal site has become a must for today’s freelancer, but successful writers know that they need to do more than simply paste their picture out on Internet, or send off their email address along with their snail mail query.

What’s needed is a site that showcases your entire writing resume, including:

Bio Publishing history Writing-related job history All published credits Specialty or genre Easily accessible and visually attractive clips, whether scanned or in document form
