What is SEO?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the quantity and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines through "natural" search results for targeted keywords. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results or the higher it "ranks", the more searchers will visit that site.

Design and content

• Find out the keywords which users would type to locate your pages, and confirm that your site actually includes those keywords within it. Analyze the keywords of your competitor’s websites. To find out what your most targeted keywords are, you need a keyword analysis service, such as Word tracker

• Include a TITLE tag as the first META tag, directly after the HEAD tag.

• Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.

• Include a META DESCRIPTION tag, directly after the TITLE tag. Include the most important keyword phrase for the web page as close to the beginning of the description as possible.

• Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.

• Include an ALT (alternative text) attribute in image tags. Include the most important keyword phrases.

• Create a valuable, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

• Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site.

• Check for broken links and correct HTML. Link popularity

Link building is important as the search engine provides ranking based on link analysis. Increase your site's link popularity by increasing your internal and incoming links.

• Register a domain name with the exact keyword phrase you wish to target, using hyphens to separate the keywords.

• Name web pages after your most important keyword phrase. Separate the keywords using hyphens or underscores.

• Internal links - Cross link all your sites and important pages within each site. This will maximize the Page Rank of all your pages within each web site.

• Incoming links that you control - Create several small web sites related to your main site. Each site should only consist of a few pages. Then cross link them all together using the most important keywords. Don't forget to include links back to the main site.

• Reciprocal link - A reciprocal link is a mutual link between two websites to ensure mutual traffic

• Three way linking- Three way linking (site A – > site B – > site C – > site A) is a special type of reciprocal linking. The attempt of this link building method is to create more "natural" links in the eyes of search engines.

• Multi way linking- Multi way linking is a technique used for website promotion whereby websites may create similar one way links that each involves 3 or more partner sites. This provides each website with a one way non-reciprocal link..
