Now that your site has been listed in Google you may want to improve your sites rank.

These suggestions can easily apply to other search engines (Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, ASK ect.) as these are basic

Quality Unique Content
The most important thing you can do is provide a reason for people to visit and return to your site (and even beter link to your site from their site!). To have this happen naturally it’s very important you provide unique quality content on your pages. I could never stress how important this is. If you don’t stand out and get noticed then you will get no where. When you are building your pages build them for your visitors with information rich content that you write out in text. It’s best to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links ect. The more you give a complete discription of your page content, giving special attention to including the information you would use to search and find this information, the easier it will be for someone to find your website.

Natural Links
There is nothing more valuable to you than someone linking to your site with out any promting from you. Natural links show someone found your content valuable and useful enough to link to it so others can do the same. This ads value to your site in Google eyes and will improve your rank. Google can tell the differance between Natural and Unatural link (Paid links, link schemes, doorway pages ect) which are not acceptable practices and will actually take away forom your rank. Also, if the links are sites with the same or similiar topic asr your site gives it a little more weight in your favor. :o)

Your Domains Front Page
Use your front page to your advantage. Usually this page is the highest rank page, visited more often by the crawlers, as well as the most link to by others. You need to provide as much information about your site as possible on this page. Make sure to be honest and clear. Make it easier for your visitors to get to popular pages for this front page by providing an organized clear menu to your sites sub pages

Use your TITLE and ALT tags
Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes are complete, descriptive and accurate. The Title tag should be used at all times. It is so important. Use this title to attract visitors. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images so using ALT tags will help the bot know what your image is. Images hold a bit of value themselves if acurately ranked

Search Engine Optimization
Don’t feel you have to hire someone to improve your rakings you can do this yourself with some simple tecniques. If you do hire someone be warned there are some techiques that are used by some SEO consultants that Google may not approve and of coarse NO company or individual can garantee you a #1 ranking and any one who does is trying to scam you. It’s worth the time either wat to do a little research and see what oyu can do to step by step to making your page more search engine friendly
