SEO - SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

SEO is one important tool that every Internet Marketer never toils with. Coz to a Marketer “ the higher the page rank = the higher the traffic -equivalent- {sales}

Search engine optimization (SEO) is one way to make your web site reachable to potential customers also improving the quality of traffic to your website from search engines. Typically, the higher the website appears in the search result, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. There are so many SEO tools available on the internet now… but I have written a list of some I used and some recommended by some of my Internet marketing friends. But I strongly advice that you have comprehensive / formal training on any SEO tools you are using. SEO is an inexpensive way to get substantial amount of traffic to your Web site. SEO aims different kinds of search, including local search, image search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This provides a website web presence.
SEO Fundamentals
While there is no big deal in writing a Web page that will rank highly in search engines, there are a few things you can do to help your pages do better:
1. Write strong content.
If you focus on nothing else, you should focus on the content of your Web pages. Search engines want to provide links to relevant pages, and so they are constantly tuning their programs to read and review the content of Web pages to make sure that it really is about what you say it's about. Content is king on a Web page both for your readers and for search engines.
2. Write valid HTML.
Ironically, this is often one step in SEO that many Web developers forget - they focus so much on other aspects of SEO that they forget that simple things like valid HTML can help your pages get spidered much more than meta keywords and meta descriptions.
3. Find good keyword phrases.
What makes up a good keyword phrase can be tricky, but that is what you should be optimizing your page for. Don't try to come up with every keyword phrase possible. Instead, focus on one phrase that really captures what your page is about, and make sure that that phrase is repeated in the content, the headlines, and links within the page.
4. Don't optimize your entire site.
This may seem confusing, but many Web developers want to come up with one keyword phrase and optimize every page on the Web site for that phrase. While that makes your life a lot easier, it won't get any of the pages the exposure that you would otherwise want. Instead, focus on optimizing one page at a time - find the keyword phrase that works for that page, and optimize it. Then move on to the next page in your site. If you treat every page as a possible entry page on your Web site, your readers will have more ways to find the site.
Don't Give Up on SEO
