Let's make a list containing some tips and tricks for improving a site's optimization for search engines.
It is important to have a well optimized site if you want to have success with it.
The better the SEO - the better the traffic :D

1. Use the keywords as much as you can, but do not exaggerate. Google doesn't like that, if you exaggerate in this you might be seen as a spammer.

2. Use the meta tag and keywords tag wisely. Write a nice description using the main keywords and include the important keywords in the tags.

Good idea.Lets see:

-Use a 2%-6% keyword density in your content,never overdue it too much,Google doesn't seem to like keyword spam.

-Include keywords in title,headers and middle paragraphs.

-Always use the keywords best suited for your site,do not put non relevant keywords or meta tags to your content.

-make sure your pages are interconnected with back links to one another.Try also making a site map.

-Use S.E.O friendly software for your site.

-Instead of using common keywords that are fought upon by everyone,use catchy phrases that suit your site and that are often used in search engines.

-Have a lot of content on your site.The more pages and words the better.

-Promote the site to similar ones so that you get back relevant visitors.

-When you bookmark the site to directories and networks use your keyword site description in the anchor text.

-Buy ads and increase your traffic count and page views.

I can't think or more right now,I'm not really a S.E.O expert.Hope this helps.Remember,content is everything.

This is a good point. Any given page will have a certain amount of "assigned ranking power" and you are dividing it among the various keywords you are trying to target. So, let's say that you have 10 pages all trying to target the same 10 keywords that everyone else is targeting. Most likely, you are diluting your ranking power per page so much that no specific page will rank high enough to be noticed.

Additionally, because all pages in that example target the same keywords, those pages are just about guaranteed not to ever outrank any other site -even with good content.

So, the moral?

Content is King... but remain focused. :)

Am I correct in thinking that the All-in-One SEO pack for Wordpress does most of this stuff?

The Wordpress plugin known as "All-in-One SEO Pack" will automatically pick out very good titles, keywords, and other META data for your blog posts.

It does not publish a sitemap, handle internal linking, or have anything to do with advertising specifically. So, the answer is that is does some of the things mentioned but not all. It handles a lot of the "on-page optimization" for you, and you are responsible for quality content and "off-site optimization."

Here is a very quick way to get your page optimized and get to learn what is important..get a free trial copy of SEO programs like webposition gold.

Do a search and you will find them.

Reports are in depth and recommendations are all made when pages are analysed.

[mafuu]

nighfall I tried those programs and to tell you the truth,they might be of some help to beginners in S.E.O,but for a moderately experienced person they are mostly useless.An analyzing program isn't bad to perform some searches and find some errors,glitches that have missed your eye,but a program that tells you mechanically what to do cannot be great for someone who has knowledge of S.E.O.

[nightfall]

= )

I am sure you saw me mentioned getting the program as a trial right?

its just a way to help those who have no idea of SEO and a platform to start out..

Something I use to find keywords is google's webmaster tools. They tell you how people are finding you and what keywords you are showing up for so that you can capitalize on what is actually happening on your site.

Agreed. As much as I hate to admit it, Google Analytics (also accessible from within Adwords) is a great tool for analyzing your site and understanding how people find and use it.

[multimastery]

Great tips Everyone!

As well as using targeted keywords and writing great content, it is also important to build tons of backlinks with your chosen keyword in the anchor text. Many times smaller sites can win the race over larger ones if they have more backlinks/in-pointing links pointing to their webpage.

[kbeus21]

You know I am not sure I have heard alot of talk about how important the meta tags are but I have also heard alot of people saying that google actually goes into your site to see what it is about rather than having you tell the google bot what it is about. I really think that description is not nearly as important as people think and by the way the meta keywords has exactly 0 weight with google so I would recommend not wasting your time.

[mousey]

thanks for all the great tips :) it really helped me

Google and much major search engines do not seem to pay attention to the meta tags like keywords for ranking.
Out of meta tag, only descrioption tag is important which is shown as an description to your site on page result.

I learned a lot from this discussion, thank you :)

Be patient. SEO isn’t about instant gratification. Results often take months to see, and this is especially true the smaller you are, and the newer you are to doing business online.
