If you are a small business looking for affordable, economical and effective SEO strategies and techniques to get a high ranking in the search engines then you will be pleased to know that there are a few very simple things you can do to boost your search engine ranking by more than 350 positions on Google. That could mean the difference between appearing 20 pages deep to appearing in one of the top 3 spots.

That's great news for small business owners who are starting a new business online and just don't have the funds to pay the kind of fees that some search engine optimization services and SEO consultants charge for search engine optimization.

We will start with creating the right title for your webpage. It's absolutely critical that your webpage title contains ONLY your main keywords and as few keywords as possible. For example, millions of webpages actually have the word "welcome" and "home page" included in their title. Wrong! That's one
perfect way to guarantee a very low ranking in the search engines and be doomed to failure.

As I have said, it is absolutely critical that your page title includes only your main keywords. Also it's important that your title contains as few words as possible. It is possible to overlap keywords in your title. For example, home made low fat dog treats targets people looking for home made dog treats and low fat dog treats. Also instaed of using "and" in
between your chosen keyword phrases use the symbol | with one space around it. So, for example, instead of Home Made Dog Treats And Low Fat Dog Food it looks like Home Made Dog Treats | Low Fat Dog Food. Combining keywords is a great way to boost the strength of each of your individual keywords.

Now this search engine optimization technique is ignored by many internet marketers, which is unfortunate for them because search engine robots read these tags and give them a lot of weight when listing your webpages. It is important to add header tags to your website, at the very least a heading 1 tag. It is also important to add your most important keyword
into the h1 header tag. It is also advisable that your h1 tag be as far towards the top left of your webpage as search engines actually read your web page like most people read any page - from top left to bottom right of the page. So it is important that your h1 header tag appears at the very top of the page.

To create a heading 1 header tag you have the HTML coding for h1 at the very beginning of your headling and h1 at the very end of it. If you have multiple keywords in your title it is also advisable to use only the main keywrod that your page is targeting for. With some HTML editors like Dreamweaver and
Microsoft Frontpage you simply highlight the phrase and then select heading 1 in the drop down menu. With some other editors you may have to insert the HTML coding itself.

If possible also include a heading 2 header tag which has exactly the same HTML coding as h1 except you replace the 1 with a 2. You can use your heading 2 tag as a sub heading if you like. Using my earlier example I could use the keyword phrase Low Fat Home Made Dog Treats. So as a recap your main keyword is in your h1 tag and your second main keyword is in your h2 tag.

Once you have done this it's time to work on the content of your webpage. It's recommended that you have at least 250 words on your page because the fact of the matter is that search engines don't read your whole page. If they don't see much information early on on your webpage they're not going to stick around to find out where it is. The bottom line is the shorter your page the less important search engines are going to think it is and you will be penalized for it.

It's recommended that you have at least 500 words or long if possible. It is critical that your webpage content links in with your page title and keywords used in the meta tags. For example, since the example I have used is about home made dog treats if I started talking about dog kennels or dog boarders while it's on the same topic it's not really relevant to my title or keywords.

As I have stated earlier, search engine robots do not read your whole page so it's important that you place your main keywords at the top of your page content and repeat it throughout. Of course, they must make sense. Search engines are not stupid. They know when a webmaster is just trying to include the phrase as many times as possible.

The wrong way to incorporate your keyword or phrase in your webpage is by writing home made dog treats and more home made dog treats, everything about home made dog treats, did I mention my site is about home made dog treats yet? It's important to understand that you can actually change the order of your keywords too. Here's an example of the right way to use your keywords in your writing:

"Dog owners are saying no to commercial dog food and are looking for delicious ways to make their own home made dog treats in the comfort of their own home. My dog loves the treats I make for him at home. In fact, unless it's home made he won't even touch it anymore."

As you can see from the example I have given above, I have included the keywords in a natural way that makes sense to the human reader of the page. Try to include your main keyword phrase at least once every 1-2 paragraphs in your web copy, provided it makes sense.

Another effective method for getting a higher search engine ranking is after completing your web page copy going back and highlighting by either bold, underline or italics your keyword phrase once in the copy. Also having your main keyword in a bullet list also helps.

What I have discussed above are only onpage optimization methods to improve your search engine rankings. It's critical that you follow these search engine optimization techniques and strategies to improve your search engine rankings. However, if you really want to outrank your competitors and dominate the search engines you need to focus on offpage optimization techniques as this is what will ultimately get you top search engine rankings on Google.
