1. Register Your Keyword Rich Domain Name - Use your keywords or a keyword phrases in your domain name. It creates brand awareness. Use these resources for your wholesale priced domain names.

2. Learn Basic HTML - A lot of search engine optimization techniques involve editing the basic HTML code. At least you should be able to view the source code of any page and understand what it all means, and basically edit it as necessary.

3. Create a Top Notch Page Title: Title tags are key because all search engines give the tag a lot of weight. Put your keyword phrases into this tag. Avoid using extra words linking, non-descript company name or home page. Think of this tag as the "Title Keyword Tag". It should reflect exactly what your page is about. Focus on using the keyword phrases people might be using in the search engine to find your company.

4. Description Meta Tag. Some search engines will include the description below your title. Carefully choose 20 of your most important keywords and write a 200-500 character sentence about your site. Don't just repeat your title but write with different keywords. Some search engines prefer just the description Meta tag and some will use both title and description tags.

Power Marketing Tip: Leave out the commas between your keywords, so the search engine can group the words into any phrases someone is looking for. This way your words take up minimum space with maximum combinations.

For example, you have 100 words on your page and three of those words are "piano" or "pianos", then you will get a keyword density of your text for the word "piano". Aim for a keyword density on your site from 3-20%. This will offer you a good range.
