Now I must have gotten your attention already. So you’re asking me now just how to go about with that. Well, it is fairly simple. With a little tweaking on the HTML, you could go a long way.

First off, before you upload your image, make sure that it is properly named. You can put in the relevant keywords as the name of the image. Then you could upload it. Those sites which host images take the name of the image and use it as part of the permalink of the image.

Then, when you are using the image already on the site, make sure that you describe it with tags. How do you go about that? Just add alt=”description” in the code for your image. Well, here is an example:

<img src=”http://www.searchengineherald.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/scraper-sites.JPG” alt=”scraper site sample”>

Now, that’s the thing that we have to consider. A site’s content is important. It is actually very important that most people in the SEO industry say that content is king. It is what brings people to return to the site. Fresh and worthwhile content keeps readers and visitors hooked.

On the other hand, if the content that you put on your site is just all about adding keywords that are relevant to your site, that would not be helping your site that much. As experts say, what you should put in your site is fresh, relevant, and quality content. It is not the quantity that matters. It is always quality that keeps the visitors coming in.

Now, if you would be advertising your site the old fashioned way – print, broadcast, and online – you would be shelling out quite a sum of money. The good thing about SEO is that you would be able to bring in more customers through the technique known as SEO. The disadvantage though of SEO is that it would mean having to spend much time on your computer. But the effects are great. This would be really a great thing to apply to your site if you have a small business going on.

What do you think about this one?

Julie Batten, an expert on the subject, has also claimed that if you do such, the effects would be greatly maximized. Now that is something that most sites do not actually have. You would be having a greater advantage because of that. See, come to think of it, it would be like difficult to add in your SEO techniques if the site is already built. It would be like putting up a structure and you would want some designs changed. If you want the structure to be done well, you put in your design ideas right when it is still under construction.

Makes sense, right?

Fensterbank was also further noted to have discussed, “For these reasons, and because the techniques might violate our guidelines, we recommend avoiding any techniques that claim to optimise your ranking very quickly or radically.”

• Google is not as smart as it seems.

• Forums are good for getting clients. Help people out when you can for free and you’ll see what I mean.
• What might have been true yesterday might not be true today.
• Yahoo and MSN have traffic to send too
• Don’t assume everyone knows what you discovered already when you study your stats. Save it for yourself.
• Don’t underestimate how much your knowledge or programming skills are worth.
• Read a book on marketing from a semi unbiased source. I prefer SCORE and the Small Business Association.
• Remember its the world wide web and there are opportunities to be had in oversea’s markets.

• SEO is not a panacea for not having a product of your own.
• Go to a conference its so much better discussing this stuff in person and honestly its more fun.
• Forums are the suxors but you need to pick at least one to keep abreast of issues you may have missed.
• Just because someone can argue well online doesn’t mean they know jack shit.
• If you don’t have your own data to draw your own conclusions then you don’t know anything despite how much you read.
• Don’t spend to much time arguing online. Its pointless. Spend that time proving or disproving your ideas for yourself.
• If you want to make money with affiliate programs and your just starting out keep making sites. Make them big and small and in between but keep making them till your fingers bleed. Once you have a hundred then go back and see what is the most successful and then spend time on those.
• The thing that is in the shortest supply online is creativity.
• Don’t be afraid to be wrong and listen to the counsel of those who are honest.
• Always try to find the successful mans networks, once you do don’t be an ass and out them just look and learn and if you feel like it warn them how you did it.

I’m going to be sharing the list bit by bit and I would like to hear reactions about what you may think about the list.

• Search Engine Optimization is fairly straight forward there are no secrets.
• Search Engine Optimization is marred by the fact anyone can discuss online and seem like an expert.
• Online Marketing is where its at, and that should encompass SEO
• The best blackhat stuff is not detectable by the search engines or people.
• If you can’t program or pay someone to program you will be stuck using the same tools as everyone else.
• Statistics and math are where its at. There are no fast answers in this business.

Their site is a portal which allows anybody from the public or the private sector to put in details of any contract which still needs the help of other companies. This allows companies to choose companies to deal with.

Richard Griffiths said, “The key element was to attempt to get anyone using search engines to look for suppliers of goods or services to be directed to our site. Not many people will type in ‘business to business web portal’ or ‘where to find how to pitch for new business’ necessarily. Their searches will be much more specific than that.”

But did you know that an article on content and SEO has stated that bad content would actually help your site start its downward descent in the rankings? The article continued to disclose that SEO expert Neeraj Srivastava had suggested that it would best help your site if the content you would be using would be unique and far more interesting than your competitors’.

This surely has got to be true. Personally, if I do find a site that ranks much but with poor content, I’d go for other sites which may not rank that high but has really interesting reads.
