OK, You’ve spent months building that beautiful website. It took you days to find just that right colour of aquamarine for your dazzling drop-down menu bar. Now you can sit back and wait for those visitors to drop by and tell you what a great job you did. Right? Wrong! If you take no steps to improve your search engine ranking then you may as well be throwing something wet into the wind.

There are right ways and there are wrong ways of getting visitors. You could phone up a few friends and tell them about your website, drop mailshots through your neighbours’ letterboxes. Or you could find out exactly what the major search engines are looking for when they rank your page. How would you do that? Read on!

Search engines look at specific parts of your website when their spiders come to call. Your title is one of them. That is the bit between the

<title> tags in the html. If you have nailed your title correctly then your chances are greatly improved. This section also allows you to place relevant keywords for your website. Choose these wisely my non-page ranked friend. If your website is about marmoset habitation and you have entered lots of irrelevant keywords about the American presidential election or celebrities just to get more exposure then you may end up with no more visitors at all!

Why? Well, because your ‘Marvellous Marmoset Mansions’ weblink will show up whenever anyone searches for terms such as ‘lifestyles of the rich and famous’ and no-one will click on your link! No-one will visit your site except a few people who get side-tracked by accident. You don’t want incidental visitors! You want honest to goodness marmoset appreciators! So get choosing those keywords.

Another real search engine turn-on is links. The more links you have the better. That is other websites which show a link to your page. And the better the website linking to you, the higher your website will appear in the listings. Follow these tips for a higher position!
