The Most Essential SEO Tools and Techniques

Sure, everyone can have a website. But how do you create a website that will be seen by millions of visitors? You don't have to be as big as Google or Yahoo as some of the examples shown later.

You can just be the regular guy who knows about the secrets of search engines and to ensure that your website's link turn up on the first page of every search engine's listing.

I am not talking about paying for traffic (e.g. PPC advertising) but by just tweaking your website's content you can make a big difference between having 1-2 visitors a day to having 1 to 2 million visitors a day.

If you are selling a product on your website, a huge traffic will mean more possible customers and more business for you. Also, if you are promoting products or doing affiliate marketing an increase in traffic will certainly bring more income and advertising traffic to your site. 




Submitting Your Site To The Major Search Engines 

Why pay when you can do it for free?

Manually submitting your site (rather than using auto-submission programs) ensures that you personally did your best to ensure all the correct information (e.g. URL, title, email) has been submitted to prevent any errors.

Search engines normally will list your site within 2-3 weeks when you submit manually. Of course you will have to ensure the search engines "love" your site first.

Here is where you should go to submit your sites manually to the Top Search Engines:

Google

Yahoo
You need to open a Yahoo account first.

MSN

Alexa
Invite Alexa's robot to crawl your site

DMOZ
Submit to the Open Directory Project

How To Be Loved By Search Engines 

Search engines go for these qualities

Here are a few important factors you should abide by:

1. Title Meta Tag
The title tag is what displays as the headline in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). It's also what displays in the top blue band of Internet Explorer when your site is displayed.

Your title tag of your website should be easy to read and designed to bring in traffic. By that, I mean that your main keyword phrase should be used toward the beginning of the tag. True there are websites being found now that do not use the phrase in the title, but the vast majority still do as of this writing.

2. Description Meta Tag
The description tag is the paragraph that people will see when your page comes up in the search results.

Your description tag should be captivating and designed to attract business. It should be easy to read, and compel the reader to act right now and follow your link. Without a description tag, search engines will frequently display the first text on your page. Is yours appropriate as a description of the page?

A proper description tag is what people will see below your title. You should make proper use of punctuation, and with readability, use your subject and geographical references.

3. Keywords Meta Tag
The importance of Meta keyword tags fluctuates from month to month among different search engines. There is a debate in the SEO community as to whether or not they help at all on certain search engines. In fact, in the summer of 2004 it appeared as if they were losing importance altogether.

Avoid stuffing your keyword metatags with too many keywords. Just use relevant tags that apply directly to the content of that particular page, and don't overdo it.

4. Header Tags
The text of each page is given more weight by the search engines if you make use of header tags and then use descriptive body text below those headers. Bullet points work well too. It is not enough to merely BOLD or enlarge your text headlines.

5. Link Text
Search engine spiders cannot follow image links. In addition to having image links or buttons on your web pages, you should have text links at the bottom or elsewhere. The text that the user sees when looking at the link is called the link text.

6. Your Content
Not to be forgotten of course, is the actual content of your webpage. It must be relevant helpful information that people want to read. Use your keywords or phrases often, and use them at the beginning of your paragraphs wherever possible.

How Does Google See Your Site? 

Using Google's Search Syntax

You can use the following syntax to see how Google has captured your site:

To view indexed pages of your site's pages
site:www.yoursite.com

Pages that link to your site's front page
link:www.yoursite.com

The current cache of your site
