Basic SEO is very simple and easy – all it takes is the willingness to put in the work. At a time you admit the circles, it’s not that difficult though it may be endless. The content of your website the focus of what SEO is all about. Here are the top points to think about when you’re doing it yourself.  

1. The next thing you should look at is your page’s title (i.e. the HTML title tag), which is critical in letting search engines see what the page is about, and is the first item looked at by search engines to determine your relevance. You should put your most important keywords in your title tags – you don’t need to worry about singular or plural forms as search engines account for these changes in most cases. Whatever you do, don’t call your home page – make the title a mini-description of the page. 

2. The two primary meta tags aren’t as important as they used to be, but the description tag is still used by some search engines to display information about your website to users and help them decide whether they’ve found what they are looking for. Not all search engines bother with this, though most will put some bearing on it (even if it is minuscule).

For very short descriptions the alt tag can be used. Alt tags let you describe an image or graphic file – they’re the pop-up descriptions that appear when you hover your mouse over a graphic, or when the graphic can’t be downloaded for whatever reason. 

Text within comment tags is never displayed on the page – it is used by coders and designers to remind them of what that part of the page is for. Some coders used to put lots of keywords in the comment tags, so that they would be seen by search engines but not users, but search engines have now stopped paying attention to any text that isn’t seen by the user. Keep this in mind when trying to post invisible text (i.e. white text on a white background). This kind of behavior can get you banned from a search engine.

3. You will start by registering a domain name, which should reflect what your site about. Keep it short, as long as it’s somehow related to your site. Being more specific can help.  You could choose to name the page after one of your products or services, for example. Another method is to get a sub domain of a popular domain. This will generally help you get indexed more quickly though it will not appear quite as professional to your visitors. There is a trade of here, sub domains are quicker (and generally cheaper), but domain names are more memorable, and, in the long run, better for your indexing. 

4. Many search engines judge web page importance on the number and quality of incoming links from other sites. You should link to some related sites, but not too many.  Don’t overdo incoming links either, and keep them related your site’s content. It’s also good to get sites to use your keywords as the text of these links.

5. Having keyword density in all of your content is good, but keep in mind that each search engine has its own requirements when it comes to how many times that a keyword or phrase should be in the content for the page to be relevant. Somewhere between 5 and 8 percent is a roughly optimal level – but this isn’t always possible, and you shouldn’t force it. Don’t overdo it, or the search engines might mark you down. 

If you follow the advice above, you can do it yourself and do fine. SEO, if done right, can keep you on top for as long as you want to be.

But I don’t. Why? It’s too time-consuming!

As an example, here is the process to check the stats on ONE domain:
Log into the cpanel.
Click on the stats icon.
Click on AWStats (my preferred package).
Look at the summary.
Copy the major stats into a spreadsheet so I can track them over time.
Click to look at the robots who have visited my site.
Click to look at the keywords people have used to reach the site.
Copy the keywords and save them in a text file so I can use them for PPC ads, articles, etc.

Whew! Ten minutes later, I’ve finished ONE domain. If you have 5 domains, it will take you about an hour. If you have 50 domains – it’s more than a day’s work! And if you have more than 100 domains – well, you get the picture!

I’ve dreamed for years that there could be an easier, faster way. I’ve talked to other Internet marketers. I’ve talked to programmers. No one had a solution. Until this week!

Enter the “miracle software,” as I’m calling it. It not only checks your stats, keywords, and backlinks, but it also gives you the number of pages from each site indexed in each of the major search engines. It finds your page rank and tells you about the robots’ most recent visits. Plus it tracks the stats over time and builds a chart – for each of your domains! Sweet.

Now if that’s all it did, I would be a very happy web manager. But it doesn’t stop there.

I have more than 300 domains on one server. Imagine clicking ONE button and having the software pick up the domain names, usernames, and passwords for all of my domains. Took less than a minute! Everything else I want to do in the software uses that information – and I don’t have to enter anything else.

And here’s the clincher. I decided I wanted to add new 404 pages to all of my domains as an additional revenue stream. I was prepared to upload the pages and graphics to each of my 300 domains, one site at a time. But with the Mass FTP function, I can click ONE button and have the page and graphics uploaded to 300 sites in a matter of minutes.
 
I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled with the possibilities this software opens. In my first hour with the software, I have saved over 40 hours of work – that I probably would never have gotten finished. I’m a better web manager and a much happier person – with more information at my fingertips. Now I can concentrate on running my business, instead of working at the clerical detail level.
