Seven Basic Things Necessary To Be On The First Page Of A Google Search

February 12, 2009 by dashaver

  1. Limit the number of keywords per page; 2 or 3 is best. Keywords or key phrases are the words searchers use to find your product.
  2. Make the page about these 2 or 3 keywords only. Provide relevant content on your page and your title should describe this content.
  3. Have an image and name it with a key phrase.
  4. Put a key word or phrase in the title, Meta tag and first paragraph. Remove any words used repeatedly. Your article should be written the way people talk, not to attract search engines.
  5. Use valid coding; just because you can see your page does not mean a search engine spider can see your page.
  6. Make a site map. If you must have JavaScript, image or Flash navigation supplement it with text links also.
  7. Remember that search engine optimization, web page usability and accessibility all go together and accomplishing any one goal will accomplish the other 2.

The fewer keywords per page

The fewer keywords per page the higher they will rank. You keywords should also be in the title. With only 2 or 3 key words per page you can really cover them well. When your article has a very narrow focus like this it is easier to get a higher ranking in a search listing for these keywords because it is more relevant to its topic. The more keywords in your page the harder it is to cover each of them thoroughly.
