Top 10 SEO Tips

Sat, Apr 12, 2008

Here are the 10 most important things I consider when doing SEO:

A good strategy in place, highlighting key phrases. Without this no one knows what they’re doing
Links - I’m not suggesting you buy them, but they are the key to any successful relationship with the Search Engines. Its even written in the Google Webmaster Guidelines.
Meta Description and Meta Keywords, they may not count towards delivery but I’m fairly certain they’re used in an overall page Quality Score.
Unique and Interesting Content
Well laid out website which is easy to navigate, for your users and the spiders!
Established Domain Name, the longer your domain name has been around the better it will perform.
In bound links should be from different Class C IP Blocks and not from bad neighborhoods.
Good Web Hosting with high up time and maybe even a dedicated IP Address if its your main website.
Use Headings like H1, H2, H3 etc. These should be structured in the same way as any written document. So the top of the page is a H1, then multiple h2’s and h3’s you get my drift
Page Titles seem to be extremely important at the moment! Make sure yours are not too long but very relevant.
