I created some tips on getting your website ranked High on Google for my seminar. When I was doing my research, I found that most of the suggestions out there were too techy to implement for the common person. I took all the information I found, and selected what I thought was not only the best way to get your site noticed by Google, but also the things that anyone can implement.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Tips -

1. No Tricks – Google punishes sites that try and trick it!
2. META is for People – Meta tags are yesterday’s news. Now they just provide a description.
3. SiteMaps are a Must – This is the only thing I’d pay for, although I get mine for free!
4. Submit to Search Engines – First step everyone needs to do for new sites.
5. Give Images Descriptions – Google can’t see, it can only read.
6. Simple Site Navigation – Have a list of pages people can easily find.
7. Links – Linking to other sites, and having them link to you will get you noticed.
8. Content is Key – Google looks for key words in your content, not your tags.
9. Static Pages Die – Sites that don’t get updated get ignored (by everyone).
10. The Egg Comes First – You have the most power in getting people to your site, spread the word.
