Top Search Engine Ranking Tips

• Link Pages
  It is very important for each web page to link to at least one other page within a website.
  
  A page that is not linked to another page within a website is called “dangling link”.
  
  You can either link each page to another website or our suggested best practice is to link the page internally back to the main topic page or the home page.
  
  As illustrated on this website, we link each page back to major topics page at the bottom of every individual web page. Check out our "Leave Top Search Engine Ranking Tips " link at the bottom of this web page.
  
  
• Graphic File Names
  We strongly suggest you name your graphic files after keyword phrases. Additionally you need to include an ALT attribute (alternative text) in your image files and separate keywords with hyphens. By doing this, when people perform image searches, they will be drawn to your site as they would be in performing a Google search. You will gain additional qualified traffic to your site with this method. See an example of an optimized image file below.
  
  example: img src="image-files/pic-name-here.jpg" width="a" height="b"
  title="pic-name-here" alt="pic-name-here; home based business"
  
  
• Word Count
  This may appear to be simple concept but a web page needs to be between 300 to 750 words in length. There are countless examples of websites with few words and just links to other pages. Too few words on a web page will hinder potential traffic and limit your websites ranking from the worldwide search engines.
  
  
• Description Tag
  The first couple of lines in the first paragraph of a web page, if written well, should contain all page keywords and a good description of what is to come. Many search engines utilize the first couple of sentences of the body text as the search results description. We also recommend you cut and paste the first couple of sentences into the META DESCRIPTION tag for optimum results. Check out or page on good meta tags for more detailed information.
  
  
• Domain Name
  It is highly recommended that you choose a proper domain name which contains the exact keyword phrase you wish to target. You should also separate the words in your domain name with hyphens so the search engines better recognize your keyword focused domain name. To learn more on this top search engine ranking tips, see our page on domain name confusion. and see our example below.
  
  example: information-on-surrogacy.com
  
  
• Keywords
  In the research phase of developing a website, this is the make or break topic of the top search engine ranking tips. Keywords must be properly researched for supply and demand and the best keywords need to be chosen for the website. There are too many examples of web designers just pulling out action words from the content of a website and inserting those into the META KEYWORDS tag. Or worse yet, no identified keywords listed for the web page. To read more on the proper utilization of keywords, view our page on website keywords.
  
  
• Content
  
  Content is interrelated to word count.
  
  A little known best practice for a website is to have at least 30 pages of content plus a “contact us page”, “about us page” and a ”site map”.
  
  Having keyword focused CONTENT pages gives you greater exposure to the the worldwide search engines thus enhancing your potential for organic traffic.
  
  Each individual web page should have different researched keywords to draw traffic to the site. More traffic to your site will get you a better ranking at the worldwide search engines. A typical web page should on average 4 properly researched keywords. This means a keyword focused content based website will have about 120 different keywords.
