Three Tips for Better Search Engine Rankings
If search engine optimization has you thinking what can I do better to help people find my Website; try these three tips.
• Search key words or phases in Google, Bing, or Yahoo. In the search box type in key words related to your products or services. What are the top 10 results? Pay careful attention to the words or phases at the bottom of the page. These key phases define how people are searching and can offer some suggestions on other searchable terms. Look at posted comments in discussion areas for words or phases that can be added to your content or meta tags that could help people find you.
• Pay attention to main header tags. Use descriptive text or synonyms in H1 and H2 tags. These are your main header tags which are often searched or indexed by search engines.
• Use Google Trends. Type “Google Trends” into your browser and you’ll see words that are popular or trending world-wide. Include the words that best support your Website or article and you’ll be trending too.
