Search Engine Optimization
No Secrets
Many of the web's "SEO professionals" are using the same tactics as every designer and developer. There are no "tricks" that will dramatically boost your ranking overnight. The truth is, there are only a few ways to improve your rankings, and despite what anyone might tell you, they all take time.
Backlinking
Search engines strive to provide their searchers with the best possible results. This means providing the highest quality websites. How do they determine this? Well, Google and the likes are convinced that counting backlinks is the best way. Counting backlinks is simple: count the number of times your site is linked to from another site. After all, if another site is linking to yours, then you must have something worth seeing!
Furthermore, the search engine will consider the quality and relevance of the site that links to you before your site is given any "credit". This discourages posting your URL on every discussion board on the 'net. Trust me, it will only hurt.
Content and Keywords
There is simply no substitute for good old-fashioned content. I can provide strategically placed keywords and an optimized layout, which will allow your site to start climbing the ranks and attracting a wider audience.
