Tip #1: Search Engine Friendly URLs

Always use search engine friendly URLs. Be sure to use hyphens and underscores in all your URLs and preferably have the URLs be the keyword that relates to the page. For example if the page is about web hosting, then the URL could be web-hosting or web_hosting

Tip #2: Keyword Rich Domain Name

This may not be possible in many niche markets for the more popular keywords. Therefore you can focus on creating mini-sites that are keyword based. For example if your site is about make money, you can create mini-sites about web hosting but with a lesser known keyword such as "make money online".

Tip #3: Keyword research

Tip #4: Site Map

Always create a site map for your site and submit the site map using Google’s webmaster tools. A site map will allow the search engines to easily find all the pages within your website

Tip #5: Use Of H1 Tags

It’s been shown that using H1 tags, and even H2 tags are good for optimization. Be sure you section your website’s headlines in H1 tags. It’s important you use CSS to power how the tags are displayed or the tag will be very big by default and could make your page look ugly. Using a css file will enable the tag to blend nicely with your design. Be sure your H1 tags are keyword rich

Tip #6: Limiting Javascript

Try to limit the amount of Javascript used on your page, especially if it’s being placed near the top of your website’s source code. This will lower the relevance of your site’s content, as the first thing the spider will see is Javascript code and not actual textual content, therefore you lose relevancy points since your main content is not loaded first on the page

Tip #7: Meta Description

Always use meta tag description. Google actually pulls your meta tag description when spidering your website, and so does Yahoo and MSN. So it’s very important that you have a well written and keyword rich meta tag description. For best results have your description less than 200 characters

Tip #8: Meta Keywords

Not all search engines index meta keywords, but it’s still a good idea to have a meta keyword tag just in case it’s indexed or have some kind of relevance

Tip #9: Link Building

You’ll need to start having links pointing to you from relevant and popular websites. Research the websites that are your competitors who have achieved high page rank, and see what sites are linking to them, and if possible contact those websites to see if you can have a link as well. Do a search on Google for a keyword that relates to your website. Review the top ten websites, and input this tag in Google for each of the sites. Type in the search box link:www.sitename.com, replacing sitename.com with the site name you are researching. Review all the back links for that particular site and try to acquire link partnerships with the same sites as your competitors

Tip #10: Social Bookmarking Sites

For quick indexing into the search engines, submitting to reddit.com and digg.com maybe a worth while task. It can allow the spiders to quickly visit your site and also result in some traffic. Ensure your article or reports are of good value, and never spam these sites. It’s important to maintain a good relationship
