SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Tips & Tricks Part 1

SEO, Do you even know what it means? It stands for Search Engine Optimization.

Now there two different types of SEO. White hat & black hat.

White hat: This is more of a user friendly way to Optimize your website. The results eventually turn out to last a long time.

Black hat: This is more of a dirty, un user friendly way to get your site indexed. It's also known as spamdexing. What happens is the websites using Black hat anticipate or guess that their website will eventually be banned by search engines once they find out what the website is doing.

Keeping all valid

The next thing you can do is make sure your whole website is Valid XHTML, CSS, whatever other code you have. It helps the search engines such as Google, or Yahoo pick up certain works on your website as well as index it.

Try not using images for header titles. Use the H1, H2, & H3 HTML tags. Make full use of HTML. Example: paragraph tag < p > < /p >

Filenames and Mod Rewrite

The next thing is your filenames. If your using an CMS (Content Management System) try adding or using Mod Rewrite.
