Getting a high search engine ranking is very important for every online business. Many tips, strategies, techniques and guidelines are offered around the internet, but most of this information is hard to implement and does not correspond with each other. Many website owners find this abundance of data too overwhelming, and these confused website owners just go on and focus on other areas of promoting their page. However, here are a few simple steps those website owners can do to raise their rankings.

Each web page should be unique. Just like every person has their own name, a web page should have its own title that is relevant to its theme. The theme, or keywords in other terms, is the most important topic of the webpage. You should pick a very specific theme for your website so that it would be easier to find amongst the sea of other similar websites in the internet. To test the “visibility” of a certain theme in the web, try entering it on a search engine.

Step 1 – Pick a Great Title

A great web page title means a lot. A great title is something that has been well thought of and is very relevant. It should be a great representation of the theme of the web page. It should be specific and should be able to describe directly the main theme of the page.

Step 2 – Use Proper Tags

Just like the title, the tag is a great tool in search engine optimization. Put only the main theme of the website in the tag on top of the page. Search engines also make use of tags to locate and rank web pages accordingly.

Step 3 – Write Good Web Content

A great content is a coherent body of written word, relevant to the main theme. The keywords should also be intelligently incorporated into the whole of the document. Put as much keywords as the content may permit.

Step 4 – Utilize Incoming Links

One of the first things that will help you is a Google toolbar. Visit Google.com and install one. Having one will let you know the page rank or PR. Having PR will be helpful in establishing links to raise your search engine rankings. Very low rankings can be attributed to unsuccessful building up of incoming links.

To help build your links, submit your website to a directory such as the ODP (dmoz.org) and business.com. A higher PR number from the directory is always better.

Another way to raise the ranking is to buy text links. Text links are sold at different rates. Text links help improve incoming links and increase web traffic. In purchasing a text link, you should only choose text links that are relevant to your main theme. Irrelevant text links will only bring disadvantages to your website in the long run.

Research existing links; try to get listed unto the links of higher ranking sites that fall under the same theme of your website. If you’ve already known the top ranking sites, you can find out the links for these certain sites by typing in Google using the keywords “link:site.com” (site.com being the name of the certain site you want to research)

Step 5 – Make sure incoming links contain your target keywords in the anchor text

Work to make your links to include the keywords as anchor text. This may not always be the case but if you can, try to work them out. Try to make as many links on target as can possibly be made. Some links may even be on to other certain pages of the site and not just the home page.

Conclusion

There are lots of search engine positioning techniques available in the internet. Search engines constantly change the way they rank websites so it will be best to work on the five steps that have been enumerated above. These tools are proven to have been reliable means of boosting search engine ratings.

Especially in establishing links, getting listed in search engines and directories are going to take a lot of time. You’d need to be patient before you can fully see the results of your search engine optimization efforts.
