Use your keywords in the headings and subheadings of our page. Your heading should capture the visitor’s attention, tell them they are on the right page and it should also tell search engine robots what the page is about.

If conversion rates are lagging, I suggest your heading include a call to action as well. Tell your visitors how you want them to respond to the content in the page.

Heading tags range in size and impact from H1 (largest) to H6 (smallest). Use the H1 tag only once in each page. H2 and H3 subheadings help break up the page and also reinforce keyword presentation to the robots crawling the page. Subheadings will focus on a keyword phrase that is slightly more specific than the the main H1 heading.

If you’re using a CMS or blog application, your template can be edited so that headings are placed in H1 tags. You can use the ‘HTML’ button in the Tiny MCE editor to place subheadings in tags. ( ie: <h2>Subheading</h2> )

I noticed a comment made to Lisa about Organic Search results and rankings. I’ve attached a graphic that I hope will help clarify what Organic Search results are.

The greatest value in the pay per click model is that you only pay for actual visitors to your website.

For the accounts I administer, I set up ads, targeting your keywords, on Google, Yahoo!/Overture and then track the performance of your keywords with very specialized software. The software notifies me whenever we are outbid and I bid up your rankings based upon clearly defined ROI (Return On Investment) objectives.

Successful businesses are utilizing the internet to convey their personal thoughts on happenings in their industry and life. They are blogging for the same reasons they do public speaking, to build credibility for themselves and their company’s. Blogging has become a new less time consuming and less expensive way to reach potential and current customers.

Networked blogs provide a powerful form of viral marketing. Adding a blog to your website can help you communicate more effectively with your customers and prospective clients. A blog can improve your search engine ranking and cross-linking.

Search engines like Google place considerable weight upon your site’s popularity index. All things being equal, if your site has five hundred and forty-one theme-related inbound links and your competitor’s site has only eight, you will be ranked considerably higher.

There’s no quick way to establish quality links with theme-related sites. Good search engine marketers (SEM) do it the old fashioned way, with public relations techniques, contacting webmasters of websites by personal email, explaining the value of exchanging links with your site. Cross-linking is the practice of placing outbound links to each other’s site, forming a strategic alliance.

Cautionary note: Services that offer thousands of ’search engine submissions’ generally use automated software to submit the site to thousands of FFA sites, a spam network that top search engines reject. I recommend avoiding the ‘tricks’ of the trade. They could get your site banned entirely.

Internal links assure that the website is properly spidered and that all pages will be found. It builds the relevancy of a page to a keyword phrase and increases the PageRank of internal pages.

We employ both cross-linking and internal links in our site promotion strategy.
