Please note that this list is in no particular order. These tips and tricks
are just some seo techniques. Please contact SEO South Africa for an website
audit.

Content is king, so make sure you have unique, up to date relevant content.

Do keyword research, make sure your keywords have got high search volume,
ideally with low competition for the key word.

Focus on keyword phrases rather than single or short keywords, long tail
keywords will get you found easier.

Use the keywords in your text links (anchor text) the more relevant the
better the results.

Make "http://www.yoursite.com" your preferred site. in other words redirect
"http://yoursite.com" with a 301 redirect.

If you have any home page links, index.html, point them to
http://www.yoursite.com

Frames and Flash are best not to be used on any pages you planning to
optimise, if so make sure you have credible content on the page.

Blog, Blog, Blog, especially if your website content does not change often,
spiders love fresh content.

Link building is long term and is all about quality and not quantity check
the reputation and page rank of websites you looking to get links from.

Make sure your website is easy to use.

Create CTA's, without call to action pages your seo efforts may all lead to
nothing

Add "ALT tags" to your images - make sure your images are named to optimise
seo image searches.

Understand how social media marketing works, its a big part of seo
development.


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