This document provides an overview of basic SEO techniques including description meta tags, URL structure, heading tags, optimized images, and nofollow links. It explains that description meta tags give search engines a summary of the page and may be used in snippets, and URLs should be human-readable and include keywords. Heading tags create a visual hierarchy and should be used sparingly. Images require alt text for accessibility and optimized filenames. Nofollow links prevent comment spam from influencing rankings. The best practices for each technique aim to inform users and search engines about the content.
