Are you thinking about starting a new website? Well, no matter what your business and website idea is you should think about using proper SEO techniques from the beginning of your project. If you plan out your site well and start optimizing from the start, you will make life a lot easier on yourself or whoever is doing the SEO marketing for your website.

Many people go back to SEO as an after-thought. Frequently a lot of time is given at the beginning of the project regarding colors, look, pictures, and overall design, but basic seo structure is neglected. This happens a lot when you have a design company make your site who is great at making a site look good, but doesn’t know, understand, or care about making the site search-engine-friendly.

Now I’m not even talking about any advanced strategies here, I’m merely talking about the basics that everyone should know. One common thing that I see is a website having the same title tag for each page on their site. Every individual web page should have its’ own unique title tag which properly & briefly describes what the page is about.

Another common thing that I see with new websites is not naming the pages correctly or numbering them. While you may see pages rank well that are numbered, you still have a greater chance of ranking higher for a page that is named after the main theme or keyword in the content of that particular page. Websites that you see at the top of the search rankings which have numbered pages have most likely been around a while and have several other SEO factors on their side that are more important than merely page name. However, you should take advantage of being able to name each page individually to increase your chances of that page being found.

Site structure and the link layout is something that needs to be given thought. You want to organize your site well so that visitors find it easy to navigate. People should always be able to find a link to your home page quickly. Also if your site structure is deep, then visitors need to be able to re-trace their steps so that they can get back to a certain page easily. “Bread-crumb” navigation is an example of good navigation for a deeply layered site. Sites like E-Bay utilize bread-crumb navigation because they have so many categories and sub-categories that you could easily get lost without it.

Something that seems pretty obvious to many people, may not be that obvious if you are new to online business or creating a website is to focus your site’s content. Your entire website should be focused on one main topic. Each individual page should be optimized for two to three main keywords. Don’t try to optimize a single page for six or seven different keywords because it just won’t work. Also, the two to three keywords that you do optimize each page for should be closely related so that you could easily incorporate them into the page’s content or information.

If you have a great looking website, but you didn’t plan SEO from the beginning don’t worry. Search optimization experts are experienced at going back and working with sites that have neglected this, but it obviously creates more work. Most sites can be salvaged and and optimized properly. There are extreme cases where it is almost necessary to start from scratch, but this doesn’t happen all the time. If you are starting a new website, just make sure that you plan to use good SEO techniques from the beginning and you will save yourself a lot of time and money in the long run.

If you’ve been marketing online for any time at all one of the most popular topics is search engine optimization otherwise called SEO for short.

One of the biggest drawbacks to all of the SEO material that’s on the market is the fact that there is no one search engine optimization technique that is right for every type of marketer and every type of business. As a matter of fact I would say that for most marketers that are working at their online business on a part-time basis most of the search engine optimization material is actually counterproductive to spend time on.

I have been doing SEO for clients as well as myself for a number of years, and just like every client and every client’s business is different so is the optimization techniques that are required in order to increase their ROI.

If you go through some of the SEO material that’s available and you see all the intricate testing and research that you are cold you must do in order to rank it isn’t long before you give up out of frustration because for you there just isn’t enough hours in a day. It is very overwhelming for the person who is working around other obligations such as a full-time job and time that needs to be spent with their family.

I’m going to give two examples, one of a marketer that is a content producer. This type of marketer is looking to make income from AdSense, eBay, Amazon or affiliate products by supplying useful information to their website visitors and including related advertising.

The other example would be the person that is looking to make income from an online store. An example of this would be a Yahoo store or an eBay store where the person is using a drop shipper or buying inventory wholesale and sell it through their e-commerce site.

Now each of these examples are very different and this is why it is very important to tailor your SEO efforts to the type of business that you are running.

Some of the basic SEO techniques that are a must for all types of sites include choosing the right keywords and including the keywords that your targeting in the title tags of your website pages. The next technique that is also paramount is link building and making sure that the keywords that you were targeting are in the anchor texts of those links.

There are all different kinds of software on the market that you can spend a lot of time and money on trying to get your site ranked but for the two business models that I stated above you will be better served by using the simple SEO technique of article marketing.

It has been proven time and time again if you can stay focused using whatever time you have implementing an article marketing plan on a consistent basis over time you will see your rankings and profits increase.

Now of course if someone selling a software product that signed you up for sites and blast your links out to hundreds or even thousands of directories your websites they’re going to tell you this is going to drive you right straight to the top of the search engines. It is been my experience that this type of so called SEO marketing is at best short-lived.

Simply providing quality content with links back to your site that will be distributed on hundreds of other sites will gain you a nice assortment of diversified back links as well as some free traffic.

A nice supplement to an article marketing strategy would be to utilize social bookmarking and RSS distribution both of which can be done for free through various sites on the web.

At one time or another we all fall victim to the latest and greatest must-have software or information product but the more you can stay focused and disciplined yourself to produce articles every week that will gain you links back to your site you will see an increasing your profits as well as building a long-term income asset.

Also keep in mind that it’s not only the income that you will be making from your sites that’s important as your sites grow in your rankings, they also become more valuable as virtual real estate that you can sell if you choose at some point in the future.
