SEO tips can help you to get higher Yahoo or Google listings, but only if you use them. Most
people think that they know better, even so called SEO professionals who have to use PPC
advertising to get their websites listed highly enough to be seen. Who are they to tell us what to
do, when they cannot it themselves?
I have had some of them write to me criticizing my 'crap' HTML and also my 'useless' linking
strategies. My site has 'only a Page Rank of 3'. So what? It is sitting at between #1 on #5 on
Google from day to day, at # 1 to #4 on Yahoo from day to day and at #1 on MSN. I will gladly
accept their criticism of my HTML and linking when they achieve the same. Till then, perhaps they
would be better buying my book that complaining about my websites!
I would feel more predisposed to them if they stopped criticizing me - I only started to do the same
to them when I got sick of their comments when they could not emulate my results. Who am I, a
rank amateur, to beat them in the SEO stakes!! In fact, I have been at this for many years.
So, SEO tip #1 - don't believe anything you are told unless those telling you it have at least one of
their websites in the top 5 on all the major search engines for a competitive keyword. Mine has
>800 million other results on Google.
Tip 2 - use classical search engine optimization. Use Meta tags because some search engines
still use them. The main one is the Description Meta tag - Keywords is not so important but use it
anyway. It does not hurt you, so use them.
The third tip relates to the title of your website. There are two points that relate to this. The first is
that it should be the best keyword that you can find that relates to your niche or website. That
means a good demand and low supply, though too much is sometimes written about this since
such keywords are not easy to find. If you can't something with low supply, just use what you
want and decide to compete against them. Somebody has to be top, and why can't it be you?
Too many people give up in SEO too quickly. Probably because we are told not to compete
against the big boys - by these big boys!!
The second point is that the title of your site need not be stated on every web page. My web page
titles are those of the page, not the site. The graphics are the same, but the title is the keyword
that they page is optimized for. Why do otherwise? Yet 99.99% do (just a guess!). Then fourth of
my SEO tips is related to the headings on each page. The main title of the page should be in H1
tags, and the heading in H2 tags. You don't need any more, but any subheadings can go into H3
tags, but should contain text that could be construed as minor keywords.
I might be wrong, but who says? I have found that if you ignore the big guys, and compete against

2. them, they can be beat. Check out what they are trying to sell you and you will notice that much of
it is obsolete. Such as site generation and article generation software. That's not an SEO tip, just
a word to the wise, from the not so wise. I have no pretensions, but I know where my home page
is on Google - and Yahoo - and MSN. Just search for 'article services'.
The fifth SEO tip is to use your keywords sparingly. Most people still think that 1% - 3% keyword
density is ideal, yet it is actually too much. There is an optimum keyword density that has little to
do with the keyword itself, but more to do with contextual relevance of the page content to the
topic in hand. Which leads to the sixth of the SEO tips: write naturally and honestly. If you know
about your subject, write about it in your own language and don't try to meet any perceived need
for a specific number of so-called keywords within your page content.
Seventh, don't forget about your links. You can get a higher search engine listing if you have lots
of links back to your website from other sites. In fact, the links are from page to page, and you get
a proportion of the Google PageRank of the page linking to you, relative to the number of other
links leaving that page, and also give the page that you link to a proportion of your PageRank,
calculated in the same way. The problem with reciprocal links is that most pages are linked to and
from pages with a PageRank of zero, even though the website home page can have a PR of 6 or
7.
SEO tip eight. Use your internal linking to maximise the PageRank of a selected page on your
website. You don't need every page on your site listed in the top 10 of Google or Yahoo: you only
need one. So maximise your efforts on that one page. Visitors that page will then visit the rest of
the pages on your website, and so will search engine spiders, so you know that every page on
your site will be listed and with a chance of being found in a search.
The important point of that tip is to concentrate on getting one page in the top 10. That's all you
need. You will have links to all your other pages once somebody reaches that page in the top 10.
Tip nine: Once you get visitors keep them there. Give them useful content and something to do,
even if just to click from page to page. Offer them a free gift for completing a quiz on your topic, or
free vacation certificates for certain actions: these are easily found on the internet in a form that
you can either post or email for them to print their own. Offer them an opt-in form so that you can
keep in touch.
That is the most important tip of all - if you can keep in touch with your visitors after they have left
your site, then you can offer them new products as they come along without having to seduce
them to visit your website again.
Finally, the SEO tip number 10. Enjoy what you are doing, and don't look upon it so much as a job
as something to enjoy, and to do as best as you can. I wish you the best of success since it is
very sweet when it comes - as it will come with you.
