2. Search engine optimization

Choose suitable keywords (about three sets of keywords)

Then put these keywords in your page title, page content, meta tags, and alt tags.

The SEO rules keep changing, but it's important to get started with search engine optimization and that you keep on learning from your successes and failures.

• Target the right keywords and keyword phrases
• Use keywords frequently throughout content without spamming. It's important that your content reads naturally to others.
• Do not duplicate content
• Include keywords at the top and bottom of your content
• Use fonts and formatting to emphasize selected words and avoid invisible copy. H1, H2 and H3 tags are great ways to achieve this.

Some of the things that Google prefers include:

• Pages that designed more for users rather than search engines
• Unique content that adds value to the internet

Some of the things that Google doesn’t want to see include:

• Multiple pages with duplicated content
• Keyword spamming with words that are not relevant to the content

3. Exchange good websites Links

Let other well-done websites link to your site. Not only do links bring new visitors, but they can also help your ranking on search engines.

4. Write useful articles relevant to your website

Let others reuse your articles which must contain links to your site.

The easiest method is to include your website URL in your automatic email signature. Most email accounts have a signature line you can edit that gets automatically included at the bottom of every email you send.
