If you want to gain a high ranking in most search engines then remember one thing: Content is everything! This week I will give you a few simple tips that will make all the difference to your search engine ranking.

Create Title tags with keywords. For example, if your site is www.davieb.com and you sell Sports Equipment and Accessories, instead of your title saying "davieb", it should say something like "davieb - Sports Equipment and Accessories"

Use a lot of text on your site. I would recommend 120 words. Search engines cannot read graphics. If your site is mainly graphic based, then you will struggle getting a decent search engine ranking. Create Meta Tags for your site. Meta Tags are code hidden in the background telling search engines what your keywords and descriptions are.

Almost all Web Design programs like DreamWeaver and Frontpage have an option to insert Keyword and Description Meta Tags. Make sure you create a lot of pages of content on your site and keep the content up to date, fresh and most of all relevant.
