Making your web pages search
engine friendly is the basic first step in getting higher rankings for your
keyword(s) of choice.
Before optimizing any individual page, you need to
choose a primary word or phrase that you want to optimize it around.
This word or phrase should be something that relates to the content of your
page, and that you have a realistic chance of ranking well for. Being the
#1 result for your primary keyphrase is a good long-term goal to have.
Once you have selected your primary keyphrase, it is a good idea to put it
in high-visibility locations, such as the title and heading tags. You might
also want to incorporate it into your meta tags. These tags can be very
useful for organizational purposes, even though most search engines pay them
little or no attention.
In addition to your primary keyphrase, you should come up with a few
secondary keywords. These should be things that relate to your primary
keyphrase in some way. A good place to put secondary keywords is in
secondary heading tags, outgoing anchor text, and scattered throughout the
content itself, as well as in the "alt" attribute of relevant images.
A final step to take in making your site as a whole more search engine
friendly is to link every page back to the homepage at least once, and to as
many other (relevant) pages within your site as possible.
Once you are satisfied that your page is well optimized around the words and
phrases of your choosing, it's time to move on to the next page, and start
the process again.
