5 Great Tips For Search Engine Optimization

1. Relate to your Reputation

SEO is driven by reputation. Why because reputation is how others see you and it is your social proof.
What your reputation is, boils down to three things: what your page says, what your page says about other pages, and what other pages say about you. To create a relevant reputation conform your page content to the keywords you are trying to command and have relevant pages mentioned in your content. Also make sure that other pages your connecting to, have relevancy to your keywords and your niche, this will increase your SEO ranking much more than if others have non-relevant content.

2. Build your Reputation

Because building your reputation has the greatest leverage for increasing SEO ranking. Reputation is built by two things, on page content, and off page links to your website. How to do this is by making sure on page content is relevant to the keyword you are trying to command.

3. It's the Page That Counts!

People often focus on linking to relevant websites, while this is great, they may be missing the boat. SEO is based on pages linked together. So the more pages you have linking to your website the better SEO ranking you will have. Look for multiple pages of relevant information on the websites of partners, and trade multiple page links instead of just your home page. Also utilize your own internal pages, having these pages link to each other in a relevant way will increase your SEO ranking as well. That's right optimizing internally can be one of your greatest assets.

4. Focus on Page Titles and Content

Other aspects of your page are going to produce minimal results, so focus on these two things, your page title and page content. Make sure your title tag includes your keyword, and make sure the content of your page includes relevant information. Try even renaming Home, into something more relevant to your niche. This will make the title tag of your home page pop even more in the SEO rankings.

5. Create your own Link Opportunities

Finally, if no-ones there to help you, some one's gotta do it. Create your own link opportunities by linking pages from social media websites to your pages. Here's a list of Social media and other places for great link opportunities:

Your Blog
Twitter
Facebook
Squidoo Lens
Hub Pages
Press Releases
