It’s no secret that Internet businesses these days are fighting to the death over those top spots
on Google. Page one rankings have the potential to bring in lucrative amounts of cash that
save a ton of money on customer acquisition.
With that said, search engine optimization is a tough and cruel world. Just when you think you
have it all figured out, Google releases another update throwing all your former theories on its
heels.
For this reason, it’s more important than ever to focus on building an SEO friendly site that will
be naturally geared towards impressing the all-powerful Google. Here are 7 tips to get you
started:
1. Perform extensive keyword research before building a single page.
Many webmasters build their website first, and worry about keywords later on. This is the
equivalent of an architect building the frame of a house, without knowing where the rooms
will be built.
Without knowing what our words we are trying to rank, the structure of our website will be
shaky at best. The best strategy is to prepare the entire design of our website, before ever
creating a single page. This way we are fully prepared to optimize our pages as effectively as
possible.
2. Designate your landing pages with different sets of keywords.
Every page of your website should have 1-3 keywords that you are attempting to rank. Before
building any content, figure out what these pages are and brainstorm how you will build them
in ways that are conducive to those specific keywords, while still maintaining a strong reader
engagement.
3. Create a keyword density of three to five percent.
The words you are attempting to rank for should have a keyword density of between three and
five percent. Any more than this and Google will deem your website as a site that “stuff
keywords,” meaning, that you are not building your site for users, but rather, are building it
for the search engines. SEO must look completely natural in order to reap rewards.

2. 4. Make sure your meta data and headlines are perfect.
The meta data and headlines of your website should accurately represent the content of what
your page contains, without having any errors. We want to use our keywords within these two
areas, in order to send the signal to Google that this is what the search engines will find when
crawling our pages.
5. Make your website user-friendly.
There is an old saying, no page on your website should be more than two clicks away. This
means the structure of your website should be set up in ways that make it easy for the user to
navigate, whether you have ten pages or one thousand.
6. Internal links are important.
Linking pages within a website to each other in an SEO friendly way is very important. In the
modern era of Google, the key is not to over optimize. Don’t use the same anchor text over
and over for the words that you are trying to rank for. Vary it up. It’s ok to use some anchor
text that match your keywords exactly, but many of your links should use variations of “click
here,” “learn more now,” etc., when linking to other pages.
7. Content is King.
The more quality content you release, the better. Above all, Google ranks websites that have
great content higher than any other websites. Focus on releasing the highest quality content
you can, and trust me, the search results will eventually follow.
