If you do some search engine optimization, you can get the search engines to like your pages more, and then they will list them in the organic results (the results people see when they search).



Google has this thing called a quality score, which is measured by something called Page Rank. Not even Larry Page knows how it is calculated, but I can show you some simple steps you can take to get higher search engine results and higher Page Rank.

Interested? Lets get into the simple seo stuff you can do to get higher rankings, better Page Rank, and all that stuff.

1. Have other sites link to your pages using keywords.

This just means that other sites have a link to your site, and the text people click is a keyword that others search for on the search engines.

One way to do this is with article marketing (see my other articles). You simply write a short informative article, include an author box with a hyperlink back to your website, using a keyword you know people search for. Then you submit this article to many article directories.

2. Include your keywords in your title tag.

The title tag is what is at the top of your browser when people visit your page. Your keyword should be there.

3. Put your keyword in your headline.

The headline is the big text on your web page. It is the "H1" tag, if you look at the code for your page. Your page should have only one big headline, and your keyword should be in it.

4. Put related keywords on your page.

Putting related words on your web page means it is designed to be read by others, and the search engines love these kinds of pages, and include them in their results pages.

5. Remove code from the top of your html.

Get the programming mumbo jumbo out of your html files, and put it in another file. Things like javascript and "css" mess up the search engine spiders that come and index your pages, so put that stuff on other files, and include it in one small line of code. That way, there is no chance of messing up the bots when the come to visit.

6. Use full domain names to link to your pages.

If you have other pages you want to list in the search engines, include that HTTP colon slash slash stuff with your links. This tells google and the other engines that this other page is worth listing on their search engine results.

7. Update your site frequently.

By keeping things new on your website, it means you have active dynamic content, which the search engines love. So keep things maintained and updated, and your rankings in the "SERPS" will rise steadily.

Put these tips into action, and watch how it improves your results, but in your listings in the search engines, and in the extra web site traffic it creates. SEO is easy, once you know the simple steps to take - so take a step now.
