SEO, or search engine optimization, is the best source of traffic for any website or blog on the web. Here is how you get your site to be number one.

SEO, or search engine optimisation is the best source of traffic for any website or blog on the web. Not only is the traffic you get 100% targeted but is also 100% free. however, there is one drawback, instead of paying for visitors with money, you pay with your time and effort instead. As more and more people come online there are more and more websites compeating with you for the all important top spots, which makes everything harder for you.

The most important part of SEO is your page title, often reffered to as your page title tag. In past years people used to put the name of there company as the title. The problem with this is that nobody knows the name of your company and are unlikly to search for it in google or any other search engine. So the answer of this dilemma is simply to put your main keyword in the title! Your keyword must be the one that you want your site to show up on when it is searched for in the search engine.

Tip: if your company is small, your keyword should have between 1000-5000 results when it is searched for in google.

To be perfectly honest with you it is very very difficult to get listed anywhere near the top as an SEO novice with a small company. I would recommed paying a company to give you a full tutorial and talk you through it. Also if you join a payed company they give you some very good (and expensive) tools for free. A product that iv’e bought and had a good read through can be found HERE if you want to take a look. The one off modest payment is definatly worth it and trust me, it will save you money in the long run.
