Tips to get Top Search Engine Ranking on Google and Yahoo

Want to get into the top 5 of either Google or Yahoo? Make sure your website
contains the top 10 factors for deciding a top search engine ranking.

It does not matter if you have the cure for cancer, if nobody knows about it
you are not going to make any money. A top search engine ranking in either
Google or Yahoo is the surest way for buyers to find your products so you
can become a wealthy marketer. Google and Yahoo are responsible for about
80% of all search engine traffic in the world.

Make sure your online business or website contains these top 10 factors used
for determining sites with a top 5 search engine ranking in Google and
Yahoo.

Factor #1: Number of Quality Sites that Link to Yours

Google and Yahoo put a lot of significance on how many quality sites link
back to yours with a page rank of at least 4 and above. This is probably the
most important factor when considering a top search engine ranking.

When search engines see lots of important sites link back to yours it must
mean that your site is also pretty important.

Remember the purpose of the internet is to provide information back to the
end user. As someone is conducting research on the World Wide Web, sites
must also participate and flow and connect to other related sites allowing
those searching for your keyword terms various paths to the information
being inquired.

Factor #2: Number of Pages Your Website Has

A website with less than 50 pages is really going to struggle to get a top
search engine ranking unless it has more quality back links coming into it
than their competitors.

Factor #3: Keywords in Your Title Tag

Google and Yahoo look to see if your keywords are contained in your page
title and description. Make sure your keywords are also listed within your
heading and subheading tags.

Factor #4: Keywords Showing in Links

Keywords that are highlighted within a link are considered more significant
than those not at all highlighted within a link.

Factor #5: Keywords in Bold

Likewise words in bold are also considered more important than those not in
bold.

Factor #6: Keywords in URL

Websites that are in less competitive markets that contain the keywords
within their URL are considered more important than those sites that
respectively do not.

Also keywords in the URL that come before unrelated words are considered
better than a URL that follows an unrelated word within the URL. For example
if your keyword is televisions, a URL with `televisions' followed by
unrelated words such as your name `Mike' is better than putting your name
`Mike' before `televisions.'

Factor #7: More Significance Given to First 25 Words on Page

The first 25 words of each page are given more weight than all other words
on the page. Make sure your keywords are in the first few words of your
page. However, if you try and just list the same word or phrase 25 times
repeatedly Google and Yahoo will penalize you.

Factor #8: Greater Than 300 Words on Your Homepage

Make sure you have at least 300 or more words on your homepage.

Factor #9: Keyword Density

Keyword density is not as important as it once was in the past but it still
is an important factor. In order to get a top 5 search engine ranking look
at your competitors sites and compare the density of their sites to yours
and try and match their density.

Factor #10: Page Rank

Want to find out the page rank of your website or the page rank of another
site? Download the Google toolbar and make sure the page rank indicator is
activated. One major factor in determining your page rank is the first
factor listed in this article. Quality back links are the most important
factor for formulating your page rank.

A top search engine ranking in Google and Yahoo is decided most often by the
combination of these 10 factors. If you want to get into the top 5 of the
two most important search engines than make sure your website applies these
major search engine ranking factors.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

Local Business Online Visibility Tips – Use What You Do Every Day

When you think about online visibility for your local business it's so easy to get wrapped up and overloaded with what you should be doing on the internet to promote your website. Yet, small changes to your every day business routine can make a big difference. Often, business owners think about being visible online as a way of reaching people whom you have had no contact with at all. That's true in many cases. Sometimes, online visibility is as simple as making sure that people you interact with (even briefly) as part of your usual business routines are aware of your online presence. Not everyone wants to pick up the phone or call in to your premises to find out basic information like your opening hours or who to contact. Sometimes people just want to find out a bit more about you and your company. In this day and age of always being plugged in to the Internet, your website is the first p...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
