Searching for Victory in the SE War? These 9 Quick SEO Tips Will…

Well, you’ll have to decide–whether these SEO tips can help you toward becoming a legit, ‘white-hat’ SEOer.

But first, let me clarify that the world wide web, search engine optimization (SEO) specifically, is a highly competitive market. Businesses & corporations vying for the attention of millions of search engine users have paid hefty sums to SEO services to conquer their ’search’ competitors.

A lynch pin to the Internet Marketing War is the Search Engine War.

Over the years, search engines have become the internet venues where billions of people congregate to search for information. The kind of traffic the dot-com, dot-net, dot-org, dot-etc companies receive per hour is phenomenal!

Accordingly, in order to maximize their search engine rankings and placements, companies employed every possible SEO tools and SEO services they can get their hands on–usually at exceptional fees. But their Return On Investment for free organic traffic is unexceptionally beneficial.

So, without further ado, here are a few fast SEO tips on various search engine optimization techniques to improve your search engine results:

SEO Tip 1. Expertise.
Follow your strengths. Webites you set up must be on subject you consider yourself an expert on. People can smell an amateur a mile away.

SEO Tip 2. Plan the site.
A good layout for the site can improve usability. This in turn will not unnecessarily aggravate the browser.

SEO Tip 3. Research.
Check out the competition and see what they have set up. See what works and what does not. If possible try to communicate with users in forums and get feedback on what should or can be improved further.

SEO Tip 4. Decide on important keywords.
Decide on the most important keywords to use for your website. Include these keywords in the meta-tags, copy page, page title, file names, and anywhere where you can put them =P. Just don’t overdo it to an ‘abnormal’ status => keyword stuffing.

SEO Tip 5. The Search Engine is your friend.
Make friends with your search engine and don’t give it a hard time. Being nice and friendly to it will make its job easier to serve your website up to your target audience. This means no black hat stuff, e.g. keyword stuffing with the same color as the color background :twisted: . The search engines have already smelled this trick years ago. So, don’t do it if you don’t want to be banned by the search engines :wink: .

SEO Tip 6. Focus.
Focus on the topic at hand and nothing else. The rule is one topic or ONE keyword/keyword-phrase per page. You don’t want to compete yourself with the same keyword/keyword-phrase on another page.

SEO Tip 7. Submit your website to good page rank (PR) directories.
Directories are repositories of knowledge done by human hands while search engine are huge databases collected by mostly machine methods. The relevancy of your page when joining the right/high PR directory may shoot your website up in the SERP ranking. Of course, make sure the website that you submitted to the directories is relevant to them (or in the right category).

SEO Tip 8. Start a linking campaign.
A most effective SEO method. This is a must to do. Ask your allies, strategic partners, friends and acquaintances to place your site’s URL link on their websites. With a short description this can draw traffic from other sites and increase exposure. Google especially ranks the importance of the site based on the number of ‘relevant’ sites linked to it with the ‘correct/consistent’ keyword-loaded ANCHOR TEXT.

SEO Tip 9. Repeat: repetition is the key to victory.
Keep repeating the above SEO tips, supporting and increasing what works and killing what does not as fast as possible until the desired result is achieved.
