Standardization groups are trying to set the number of characters in a title tag to 64 characters. Other search engines look at the first 100 characters in the title tag. Therefore we recommend you add 100 characters in your title tag and make sure the essential keywords are in the first 50 characters of the title tag on your web site.

SEO Tip 22:   Here is an overview of 3 Major Meta tags for your web pages:

Meta Title: The Meta Title tag is used to declare the title of the page. Some search engines look at the first 50 characters, some the first 100. So make your Title about 100 characters long with your keywords in the first 50 characters. Html code example: META NAME=”Title” CONTENT=”Page title here”

Meta Description: The Meta Description tag gives a description of the web page. The Meta Description tag is a short, description of the web page, usually 25 words or less. Html code example: META NAME=”description” CONTENT=”Your description sentence here”

Meta Keywords: The Meta Keywords tag is used to list keywords that define the content of your site. Keywords are used by search engines to properly index your site in addition to words from the title, document body, and other areas. Search engines are known to penalize or blacklist your site for abuse like keyword stuffing. Html code example: META NAME=”keywords” CONTENT=”keyword1, keyword2, keyword3,keyword4,keyword5,keyword6,keyword7,keyword8, keyword9,keyword10, keyword11,…”

SEO Tip 21: It is good to know what your competition is doing so look up their home sites on the web. You can go to sites called  http://www.freesitemetrics.com or http://www.freesitecrawl.com , enter your competitors home page and look at their meta tags. Look at the tags and keywords and see if you can learn anything from them. Remember you can look but you cannot copy material from other web sites as that is violation of copyright laws. As you learn what others are doing ask yourself questions like:

A) When customers land on my site will they buy my services or are they confused what I am offering?
B) Is the content of my site old and stale and looks like something from the 1990s? Does it need a new fresh look with content of when our latest services were announced?
C) Is my site readable on Internet Mobile Devices?

Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it. Use meta keywords and descriptions accurately. Have your keywords in h1 headers at the top of the page.

Therefore we recommend you look into how blogs and other firms business articles about you can have a link on their article to your site. Link farms are not beneficial for SEO.

SEO Tip 18:  Major search engines look at words and higher word count on your web site for keywords will assist in getting higher rankings in their search engines. If you are having trouble with your keywords since then are common with millions of other web sites, then looking into Branding. Do you sell a special service? Look into calling that service with a special Brand Name that your corporation accepts and is unique to the world. Then add this branding to your web site.

SEO Tip 17: Make sure you site is submitted to at minimum 4 sites which will not cost you anything: Google.com, Yahoo.com, Bing.com, dmoz.org(recommended not to use your personal email when registering on dmoz.org but use a general email id). These 4 Search Engine sites will let you submit your web site to them for free. Google.com, Yahoo.com, and Bing.com all have PPC (Pay-Per-Click) Advertising programs which could work for you. Many small and mid-sized firms are getting frustration with the high PPC charges as for some words can cost you $20-40 for a single click to your site even by a competitor clicking on your ads to see what you are offering. You could  use a non-PPC Advertising program.  One we recommend is at a flat rate of $19.95/month and gives you: Unlimited clicks, Site Advertising, Product Advertising, and a separate customizable Ad page with index on 20+ different business directories.

SEO Tip 10:  Creating a web presence is different than creating a web site.  Web presence means getting found on as many search engines as possible while minimizing your costs.  Get your web site known out there on the internet and make sure all your business cards, envelopes, letterheads and other stationery items have your web site address on it.  Most if not all promotional items or gifts you give away should have your web site address on it so you get more exposure.  Join www.twitter.com and www.facebook.com and email your friends your web site or better have them add your web site to their web site with an advertisement of your specials.

SEO Tip 9: Major search engines that try to follow hyperlinks into all files however files that are coding language files cannot always be followed. This means if you have tons of files that are not html files you are not guaranteed the major search engines will read all of them. Html hyperlinks to other html pages can easily be followed by the major site crawlers. Html hyperlinks to code files are not guaranteed to be followed.  There also is code you can add to turn off crawlers from crawling certain files so make sure that code in not in your file if you want that file crawled.
