7 Great tips for good search engine rankings

Tips for good search engine rankings

1. Write content helpful and useful.  The better your content, the more other sites will link to it; and the more they link to your site, the more the recognition from search engines.

2. Write one main topic or subject per page. This allows clearer matches with searches.

3. Craft a headline that uses the main idea of each page. Then, talk about it in the first paragraph. Search Engines give more weight to words at the beginning of a page.

4. When you write the content, try and use words and phrases that users are most likely to use when searching for relevant information. Avoid jargon and focus on adapting your customer’s lingo.

5. Search engines may not be able to detect text placed inside flash animations.

6. Include ALT text for the images on your pages. These tags should be words that give out information about your content. For example, if you are writing about flower remedies, use the names of the flowers or the remedies as ALT text, such as cherry plum or star of Bethlehem instead of flower1, flower2, etc. This is because search engines read ALT text like other text on your site. So when a user is looking for information on a specific flower remedy, your page will be listed higher if the images have relevant ALT tags.

7. Another secret to building a website that shows up higher in search engine ranks is using descriptive page titles, page descriptions, keywords, or metadata.
