    10 Tips To Increase Your Search Engine Rankings

    Many online sellers get frustrated with search engines regularly changing algorithms. But there are basic principles that haven't changed through the years. Apply these tips to increase your rankings:

    1. Don't be too quick to change domain names. Google has an aging delay for any new domain - it can take up to a year for your keywords to start showing in the searches.

    2. Optimize your site for your target audience, not the search engines. Always think about what impression your site gives your users — you'll create a better site the engines will like.

    3. Do keyword research extensively. Everything else revolves around the keyword phrases you choose, so it's critical you choose the best ones. http://WordTracker.com and http://KeywordDiscovery.com are two information databases that show you what words people are searching for and suggest words you can use.

    4. Design and categorize your site architecture and navigation based on your keyword research. Jill Whalen, founder of http://www.highrankings.com, says, "Your homepage should be optimized for the more general phrases...Your inner pages should be optimized for the more specific [ones]." If possible, use keyword phrases as your navigation words.

    5. Program your site to be "crawler" friendly. Search engines send out "crawlers" to gather information from your site so they understand how to rank it.

    * Create your links using HTML, not javascript. Crawlers can't follow javascript and won't be able to read your information.

    * Don't design your site in Flash - there's nothing for the crawlers to read. If they can't interpret the information, they can't classify your site.

    * Make sure your copy is HTML, not a graphic of a text. It may look like copy. But if you have a text graphic, all the crawlers will see is a blank page.

    6. Label your internal text links and clickable image ALT attributes as descriptively as possible. Within the text links in your site, use the phrase that describes the page you're clicking to. For image links, make sure those phrases are contained in the image's code.

    7. Write compelling copy for key pages of your site based on your chosen keyword phrases. Choose a few keyword phrases that apply to the particular page you're writing and work those phrases into the copy.

    8. Incorporate your keyword phrases into each page's unique title tag. Title tags are given significant weight with search engines. The title tag is the information that shows up in the search engine results so it's crucial that it be enticing, not just crammed with keywords.

    9. Make sure your site is link-worthy. Search engines judge a site's popularity by the number of links pointing to it. To make sure people will want to link to your site, you have to offer something worth linking to. Beyond your product or service, you need something that puts you over the top: an information service, a superior presentation, or great variety.

    10. Don't be married to any one keyword or phrase. Optimize for all the relevant phrases. Says Whalen, “"If you can rank highly for a good portion of them, they're going to add up to a lot more than just that one keyword phrase that you think is the good big money one.

    Copied and pasted. DP has enough of these top 10 threads. It would be all the more better if users could come up with their own top tens and not just copied ones.

    11. Thou shall not copy and paste content from another websites.

    If you really want fast results then this person

    terry.henfleet.co.uk/2011/03/13/beating-the-algorithm/

    claims to have beaten the Google algorithm, and to add some spice to things, he's an ex google employee or so the claims go.

    Great on-page SEO tips; thanks for the advice. Too often site owners forget the value that simple on-page optimization brings to the SEO portion of the site.

    Thanks for the article. I found some of your points to be useful.
    But, I disagree with the excessive usage of keywords. Because this may give an idea to crawler that you are too much pointing towards the keywords, and would harm your website in long run. So, being customer centric rather than SEO centric is important.
    Infact slow and steady SEO technique will always give you the fruitful results. So, try to achieve the perfect amalgamation of SEO along with the customer centric approach.
