Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Overview

This Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Overview post is the first in a series that I will be posting here in my Warrior Forum blog highlighting some of the top ways to get free website traffic.

Search engines are at the very heart of the Internet experience and your aim as an Internet Marketer is to get your slice of the search engine traffic pie. To do this, you need to optimize your website to get your web pages showing up on the first page of the search engine results for your chosen keyword or keyword phrase.

You must optimize your site using the title tag, keywords within the content of a page, alt tags in the images and the meta description tag. Optimization involves more than these basics, but they are a start.

Your TITLE tag should include the primary keyword phrase for your website.

The Heading tags (e.g. H1, H2) allow you to highlight important text on your website, ensuring that search engine spiders pay attention to the text within these head tags.

The SEO value of the keywords in your site content is affected by their proximity and prominence on the page and the order of the content itself.

For example, keywords that appear in the first portion of your content are considered by the search engines to be of greater relevance than keywords near the end of the content.

Regarding ALT tags, you should add your keywords into the alt attributes of a few of the images on the page being optimized.

You must work on offsite SEO as well. Once your site is optimized, you will need to work on getting lots of backlinks to the site to push it higher in the search engine rankings. I will provide some backlinks info in a separate topic thread.
