Hi Everybody,
Having a website that gets found in Google, Yahoo, and Bing, etc. isn't hard to do, but it can be difficult to know where to begin. Here are my latest and greatest tips to get you started :

1. Do not purchase a new domain unless you have to

2. Optimize your site for your target audience, not for the search engines

3. Research your keyword phrases extensively

4. Design and categorize your site architecture and navigation based on your keyword research

5. Program your site to be "crawler-friendly."

6. Label your internal text links and click-able image alt attributes (aka alt tags) as clearly and descriptively as possible

7. Write compelling copy for the key pages of your site based on your chosen keyword phrases and your target market's needs, and make sure it's copy that the search engines can "see."

8. Incorporate your keyword phrases into each page's unique Title tag

9. Make sure your site is "link-worthy."

10. Don't be married to any one keyword phrase or worried too much about rankings
