1. SEO + Quality

So many people, bloggers included focus their attention on SEO and the search engines and forget the most important part of it all –the consumer. Although you must include keywords and take other measures for SEO, you must never forget who you are writing for, and that is the consumer. Your material should always focus on quality and be informative to the reader. You will not only have more customers visiting your site and enjoying what they see, the search engines will reward you with a better ranking.

2. Keywords

Google has recently made changes so that regular people are unable to target specific keywords, unless an AdSense account is held. Even with this AdSense account things have tremendously changed. This doesn’t mean that you cannot do your own experimenting with words and keywords to see the results they produce. All of your content should target a keyword or a few keywords, so this is a very important step toward your success.

Link building is the process of placing your links on other sites to build your reputation. With more links on quality sites the better your online reputation. It is not quite so simple, however, so make sure that you understand how to link build the right way.

4. Meta & Product Descriptions are Important

Most people understand that their content needs to be optimized for SEO but fail to pay any attention to their meta tags or product descriptions. It is important that you are optimizing both your descriptions as well as the meta tags. The meta tag is the description that a web searcher will see when they search for your website. Of course the product description is the information about your products/ services. Without optimizing these two you’re potentially missing out on quite a bit of traffic.
