I haven’t done a SEO related post in a while so today I wanted to take some time and list of the top 5 seo tips you can apply to any website or blog you may have.

1. I suggest you re-work your title to contain you most important keywords. My main keyword (where all my traffic comes from is “making money online”). Do some basic keyword research to ensure your titles are aimed for good keywords that you actually have a chance to rank for!

2. Make sure you install the “All In One SEO Pack” plugin if your using wordpress as your blogging platform.

3. Use images to your advantage, you probaly won’t get better rankings fro “Alt Tags” on your images but you can get traffic from them so use them anyhow to ensure your listed in the image results!

4. Ask friends with similar blogs / sites to link to you. It never hurts to ask!

5. Be willing to wait, wait and wait again! When it comes to SEO don’t ever rush things, if you do things right you should slowly move up the rankings and google will not penalize you if you move up slow because its organic!

I hope you have enjoyed these tips, comment below with anything you want to add!

    You ever look up Platinum SEO? It does more stuff that All in one SEO: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/platinum-seo-pack/

  2. Monty - Sensonize.com Says:

    You forgot commenting on other blogs :)

  3. Ganesh - Online Bull Says:

    Point number 5 was absolutely right. SEO won’t give you much traffic in the beginning but if you keep doing it for some time, you’ll surely find that a major chunk of your traffic comes from search engines. Nice post. :)

  4. Swastik Says:

    Good post.

    Though most of the points are already well known, still it refreshes.

    If you could elaborate on keyword research in your next post(s), it would be awesome.

    Rawk!
    Swastik :wink:

  5. Shannon Lilly Says:

    Actually commenting on other blogs does not do a whole lot seo wise, the blogroll links are way better (trust me) I know!

    As to keyword research I can make a small post / video on how to do that, its not that hard and its well worth the few minutes to do so!

  6. Suzanne Franco ~ Blog Drawing/Contest Over $2,000 in Prizes Says:

    All good reminders … commenting on blogs is good for your “off-site” SEO if it’s do-follow and you use good anchor text. *SmiLes* Suzanne

  7. Monty - Sensonize.com Says:

    Shannon dude – Get your facts right.. You just can’t get a link into the blog roll until you don’t know the owner of the blog. and second.. You cannot sell the blogroll links since it isn’t allow by Google(Remember John Chow? From PR7 to PR3 and from Page 1 to Page 6). But if its the top commentators widget.. Its fine ;) Though going throw the recent Google TOS would be BETTER than just adding the Top Commentors Widget and making your blog do follow. :)

  8. Where to Download Movies Says:

    I do love the “All in One SEO Pack” for WordPress. Although waiting isn’t fun, it is necessary to see results. Thanks for the great post!

  9. SEO Tips Says:

    Good article plus link to good sites plus catchy title or heading of your site will drive traffic to your site.

  10. Hosting Says:

    @Alex Fraiser
    I have never heard of Platinum SEO before but anyway, thanks for sharing.

  11. Shannon Lilly Says:

    Monty – I never said anything about buying or selling links? That is obviously a HUGE no no to Google and I would never do that. The Top Commentors widget is simply to help out my readers, as long as you all continue to comment I don’t really care about my pagerank at all.

    Comment on other blogs, participate in forums, submit your content to social book marking sites and exchange quality links with others web masters.

    In short get more and more quality inbound links pointing to your site and wait.

    thanks for sharing
    im stil learning about SEO

  50. used tires Says:

    As far as tip #3 is concerned I would go as far as making sure that the image is also saved under the description. Example: alt=’cat’ and cat.jpg

    I am not sure if it helps… but it doesn’t hurt to take the time to rename some images from 1234.jpg to the actual name of what it is.

    Till then,

    Jean
