Keyword Research

Keywords are the words that your user types into Google to try and search for websites. What keywords do you want to rank highly for? It’s important to choose what keywords you want to rank for before you start optimizing your site.See how much volume keywords get using the Google Keyword Tool.

Optimize Your Title Tag

The next step is to optimize the title tag on your website. The title tag goes between the head tags and looks like this:<head><title>Your Title Here</title></head>Make sure your main keyword appears once or twice in the title. If you have a secondary keyword, put both of them in the title. Don’t use any keyword more than twice.

Optimize Your Site

There are many other factors that are important for onsite optimization. Two of the big ones are your header tags and your keyword density.Use <h1> for your headers. In between them, make sure you mention your keyword at least once.Use your keyword often in your text, but don’t make it sound weird to do so.These two factors have an influence on Google, but not nearly to the same degree as before simply because people abused the system.
