SEO Information


Use good SEO tactics - items such as meta tags for your pages and images are essential for ranking well with search engines. SEO is such a vast topic, but there are two types of SEO tactics:
  • black hat techniques (which you should NEVER incorporate into your site) and
  • white hat techniques.
Basically, white hat techniques are approved by search engines and black hat techniques are not. White hat techniques (such as meta tags and link building) will help you rise in rankings naturally without risk of penalty or removal from a search engine; black hat techniques (such as keyword stuffing, spamdexing and redirects designed to trick search engines) will eventually be discovered and your site will be penalized.




SEO & Web Software

The best program that I've found for researching keywords, your rankings, and sites that rank well for your desired keywords is WebCEO. It's a fantastic program, and it's free!



SEO Newsletters

A good source of information is an SEO newsletter. Free information comes straight to your inbox on a daily or weekly basis - a great tool for learning the ropes of SEO. Here are a few newsletters that I've subscribed to:




Search engine approved SEO tactics include:
  • Getting quality links to your website - this includes one way links and link exchanges, and these links hold more weight if they are closely related to the information on your own site.

  • Meta tags include:

    • <title> tags -
      • This is the title in google search. Add your main keywords here, but make this tag readable for people viewing the information.
      • Keep the description under 90 characters.

    • <description> tags - a very important tag to Google and other large search engines.
      • This is the information that shows up under the title in google search. Add your main keywords here, but make this tag readable for people viewing the information.
      • Keep the description under 250 characters.

    • <keyword> tags - not used by most search engines, but some smaller engines still use these tags.

    • <img src alt> tags - tags added to your images that describe the image:
      • i.e. - <img src="image1.jpg" alt="tag1, tag2, tag3">.
      • use only three tags per image, or it could appear spammy to search engines.

If you hire an SEO for your website, be aware that some SEO "professionals" will incorporate black hat tactics - don't walk, run from them and find an SEO professional that will not compromise your website for quick results.
