Here are some helpful tips to help you optimize your site for search engine placement

First, you want to determine your keywords. Any word or phrase that people use to search for your products or services, can be considered a keyword or keyword phrase.

Next, you want to optimize your site for these important keywords and phrases.

 

Here are some basics for optimizing your website for the keywords once you choose them:

 

META Tags

5. Once you've entered the information into your meta data fields, you will need to click the 1save button at the bottom of the page.

Now that your Meta Keywords and Meta Description fields (meta tags) are completed, you can move to your page titles.

 

Page Titles

Every page you create for your website has a field setting called "Page Title" (not to be confused with "page name"). The Page Title field should include the keyword or keyword phrase that is important to that particular page. For instance, if you created a page about website design, the page title should include the words "Website Design". The actual title may be written in sentence form if you wish.

1. Go to the Page Settings of any page to edit the Page Title

2. Be sure to hit the 1save button to save all your changes after inputting your new information. Now you're ready for page content.

 

Page Content

The page content needs to support the page title and meta information, meaning the page content must include the keywords or phrases used in the title for that page. Make sure to include your keywords within the content using TEXT. Images of text will not work.

A couple things to avoid:

1) Do not gratuitously repeat your keywords. Excessively repeating your keywords on your pages to the point where it's unnatural to read may result in lowering of your site within the results. This practice is called "keyword spamming".

2) Do not hide your keywords by making the font color the same as the background color. This is a form of cloaking that will surely result in blacklisting your site from the search engines.

 

Summary

In summary, make sure your meta tags, page titles, and page content support each other. Following this approach will help search engine systems get a better understanding of what's important on your website.
