Here is a list of the main things I have used to keep my sites consistently in the # 1 ranking for my chosen keywords in Google:<\/p>\n
1. Content<\/p>\n
Content is king. The more content you have on your site, actually related to your site, the more Google will like you. Google loves content. And you cannot trick them.\u00a0 This is the number one way to get your site listed as high as possible in search results. A problem with content is that spiders like text content. This makes flash based content not as readable.<\/p>\n
2. Site Analyzers<\/p>\n
Go to: http:\/\/www.widexl.com\/. Use the SEO tools on the right hand side to test how your site is currently doing. You can gain more insight on the importance of SEO and its tools from websites like WebChimpy.com<\/a>. Most importantly, the meta tag analyzer. Your meta tags should be as close to 100% as possible, no less than 90%.<\/p>\n 3. Tags<\/p>\n Make sure your meta tags and title correctly match your site.<\/p>\n Meta tags go in the <head> html tag usually just after the title.\u00a0 There are 4 meta tags I always include on my sites: keywords, description, author, and robots. Here are examples:<\/p>\n This section remains unchanged. You are telling the spider to go to the index page and follow all the links.<\/p>\n <title>my title<\/title><\/p>\n The title should match your site.<\/p>\n 4. Site map<\/p>\n Have a site map somewhere that will link all of your pages. Having an additional, xml sitemap can help as well.<\/p>\n 5. Links to your site<\/p>\n Have other related sites link to yours. The more sites that link to yours the better Google will like you and the higher your page rank will be.<\/p>\n 6. Code<\/p>\n<meta name=\"Keywords\" content=\"keyword 1, keyword 2, keyword 3, etc\" \/><\/pre>\n
For the keywords, you need to write keywords that match your site.<\/pre>\n
<meta name=\"Description\" content=\"describe your site here\/><\/pre>\n
For the description, you need to write a 1-2 sentence description of your site. \nThis should include as many of your keywords as possible.<\/pre>\n
<meta name=\"author\" content=\"write author here\" \/><\/pre>\n
For this, instead of a name, I usually write the site name here<\/pre>\n
<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index,follow\" \/><\/pre>\n
