    On-Page SEO:
    These are all the "things" you do to your website - on your page - to optimise for specific keywords. The most important elements you need to optimise are:
    - Page Title (<title> Tag)
    - Domain (keywords in Domain or at least in URL)
    - Image alternative Texts (<img alt="">)

    Off-Page SEO:
    There's obviously only so much you can do to your Website. If you're trying to rank for a keyword with high competition, your Search Engine Ranking will depend much more on off-page factors. These include:

    - Links from other Websites to your Site (Backlinks)

    On Site SEO is also the Structure of your site and the internal linking. Cross linking between pages in your site and the way you set up your site will make it much easier to rank. And choosing where you want to push your PR will certainly also help certain pages if they are more important to you...
