How to Make Your Web Site "Search Engine Friendly"

You've put in the work to have a great website, but noone seems to be able to find it. What do you do now? Well, here are some tips for getting your website to be "Search Engine Friendly."

1.) Your Domain Name/URL/Web Address should reflect the related top search terms, for example..... Top Search Term: "Hudson County Real Estate" >> Domain Name: www.HudsonCountyRealEstate.com

2) The Title of only your Home or Landing Page should also reflect related top search terms, for example.... Top Search Term: "Hudson County Real Estate" >> Web Page Title: Hudson County Real Estate

3) Your Home Page should contain text, NOT just Flash with your top search terms, for example...."We specialize in Hudson County Real Estate......" and other related information.

4) Keep the design of your website, especially your Home Page simple. You can include Flash and Images, but use mostly text so that your website is also "WAP Friendly" meaning it is viewable on Mobile Devices, including mobile/smart phones, wireless devices, PDAs, Blackberrys, Iphones, etc.

6) Create a short Video and upload it for free on YouTube.com and have its title reflect a related Top Search Term with a description of the video. File: HudsonCountyRealEstate.avi, Title: Hudson County Real Estate

7) Create images that reflect related Top Search Term. File: HudsonCountyRealEstate.jpg

8) Blog about the related Top Search Terms, for example your title and text should include, "Current trends in Hudson County Real Estate."

9) Sign Up for On-line Social Networks like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter under the Top Search Term, for example....Welcome to Hudson County Real Estate on MySpace.

PS. SEO has been confused with spamming but the difference is posting UNRELATED information. I am suggesting you use RELATED Top Search Terms in your marketing. For more information on Spamming and SEO, please check out any of the Search Engine's guidelines.
