If you are new to the realm of owning or managing a website, it can be a daunting task to begin your SEO.  Where do you start?  Here are some basics for getting the ball rolling:

-Content, content, and content:  Well written content containing your specific keywords is what is ultimately going to get/increase/keep your rankings.  Just don’t go overboard with your keyword placement.

-Title tags, also know as page titles:  This is the first thing a search engine sees when it finds your page, and is what lets them know what the page, or your site is about.  Make sure every page on your site has a unique title whenever possible.

-Relevant backlinks:  Links to your site from other sites is a very important part of any online marketing campaign.  The more relevant the site, and the link, the better it will be for your site.  Avoid link farms at all costs.  The search engines can/will ding you for using them, especially if you suddely have a ton of links to your site in a very short period of time.

That should be good to get you started.  For more on these and other things you can and should be doing, check out our other posts.
