And the last thing you should consider for SEO is the keyword density on your page. Where it used to be important to have up to a 3- 7% density, now it's better to keep closer to 2%. Why? Because Google feels that above that and you're probably stuffing keywords without regard to content. Always keep your visitor in mind when writing. Use keywords where appropriate, but don't overdo. Use synonyms and other words, if you find that your density is too high. When you optimize for Google, the other search engines will follow.

The final goal of search engine optimization is getting your page ranked by Google. You want it to be in the first 30 results, which is good. Page one is better, and the top spot fo

After you learn these basic procedures, you may realize that SEO isn't rocket science. Masters of it study continually, of course, because things just keep on changing. And it's mostly guessing because only the search engines know what they actually want. In general, we know, too. They want to provide the best results possible for the consumer in the form of unique, relevant results. And for our pages to show up, we just need to help them.

There are many ways to help search engines see the relevance and gist of our squeeze pages. We have to provide easy navigation, choose and use appropriate keywords, and optimize our site the best way we know how, without spamming. Keyword-stuffed pages, invisible text, too small to read text, etc. are examples of spamming techniques that some webmasters use. Stay away from it. The worst thing that can happen to you is to be banned from Google.

Let's talk about the ethical way of doing things. These three key elements will help to get your page ranked alone:

No other META tag is as important as your title tag. Spiders see it and know what your page is about. It's probably the most important of the three elements. But if it says "home" or "index," what good do you think that wil do? None. Go to http://inventory.overture.com and decide which keywords describe your site best.

Let's say you have an online store that sells action figures, and you're building a list around toys. Many people might make "toys" part of the title tag. But how do you know if that's a good keyword to use? Well, type in "toys" at Overture and find out. It had 69,662 searches in the month of March 2007. Whoa! That's a lot of competition. But think about the kinds of action figures you sell. 2,064 people searched for "wrestling action figures" and 1.305 searched for "star war action figure." (Yes, it should be Star Wars and figures, but that's what people typed in, so we stick with it.) Those two terms have fewer searches and less competition. They are competitive but not too competitive. Does that make sense?

Here's what your title tag might look like ( with curly brackets in place of < and >, which will cause coding and which we don't want) : {title}Wresting Action Figures | Star War Action Figure | 300 Action Figure{/title} Since wrestling action figure is the highest searched of the three, we use that first, then the second highest, etc.

Your description is also very important. You'll continue to use your keyword phrases in it, too, however you'll do it differently than with your title. Your description should read more like a paragraph: "Wrestling action figures, Star Wars action figures, and The 300 action figures newsletter." Or whatever your squeeze page is about, and something a bit more eloquent. Yet, remember nobody except the search engine spiders will see this on your page.

The final goal of search engine optimization is getting your page ranked by Google. You want it to be in the first 30 results, which is good. Page one is better, and the top spot for your keyword is awesome! You'll drive tons of targeted web site traffic if you can get there, but usually experts work with the top-ranked pages. I just want you to know that by changing these three things, you'll be surprised at how much it helps you. Just think about the traffic and all the opt-ins you're losing by not taking these steps! Let alone the money! It's true that keyword research takes the most time, but once it's done, it's done. Use the keywords you find in your title, your description, and on your page, and watch your traffic build and build and build over time.
