Safe, Free Search Engine PositioningWritten by Real-Estate-Net.com
How many times have you heard webmasters ask you things like "What search engine do most of your visitors come from?" or "I got a great ranking on Altavista using META tags - what tactics do you use?". Everywhere you go there are newsletters telling you "definate way" to get your site in Top 10 search engine ranking. Businesses pump millions into search engine positioning every day. How can your humble website survive? There are a set of simple rules you should stick to in order to get a good position on all major search engines and yet not spend a penny:>> META TAGS Meta tags are lines at top of your web page's HTML that search engines see first and they look like: That would be a typical META description tag for Mike's DIY Shop, containing all important keywords that surfers will likely type into their favourite search engine. Don't have more than 10 keywords or else they will each be far less effective, so less better. Also, phrases tend to work better, especially if they are unique. Don't put in common keywords like 'computer, free, chat' etc. You can be sure top businesses have payed to get a top ranking with these words already so just use them in phrases, like "DIY chat". Including one *very* rare keyword will likely push your site right to top if it is typed by a surfer. >> TITLE TAG This is by far most important tag of all in art of search engine positioning. Include all your keywords and of course, name of your site. Don't use words in title tag that have nothing to do with your website or that are not included in your main body text or your site ranking will be greatly degraded. >> BODY TEXT Be sure to include all your best keywords here, near top of page. Try to put some keywords in heading tags (H1,H2,etc.) too for added power. Some search engines are now ranking sites with invisible text (text same colour of your page which is not seen by surfer) very badly but Altavista seems to do opposite. Only use invisible text if you are trying to achieve a better ranking with Altavista.
