Tips & Tutorials

The SEO tips and tutorials presented here are intended as a quide for webmasters who have issues with the performance of their website in the search engines. You don't need to be a technical wizard to understand and use them. These are search engine optimization tips for website designers of all levels of experience who are just starting a new website, or have seen their search engine rankings decline and want help to recover their prior ranking. These tips and tutorials are not meant to be shortcuts to higher rankings. The goals here are to increase qualified traffic to your website through sustainable search engine results by teaching you the basic principles of search engine optimization. Anyone with even a modest knowledge of how web pages are created can follow my advice and do very well in the search engines.

With my SEO tips and tutorials as your guide, you can do your own basic search engine optimization. Novice webmasters should start with "Preparing Your Website", where you'll find the basic information to put your website on the road to good search engine rankings over the long term. Another good source of basic advice is Google's SEO Guide For Beginners.

If your website has recently developed a problem with its search engine rankings, check out the menu on the right where you'll find tutorials that explain many of the most common ranking problems and will show you how to repair them. Each one is a step-by-step explaination of the issue involved and a guide to how to repair the situation. If you can't find the answer you need in those tutorials, you can contact me with your question, and I'll try to help. You can also find lots of help at WebmasterWorld's Google SEO Forum where some real search engine experts hang out and share their knowledge and experience.

As you read my SEO tips, keep in mind that the search engines are in a constant battle to keep ahead of schemers who try to fill them with SPAM, so they change their ranking methods frequently. I update these tips and tutorials regularly in order to keep them relevant and accurate.
