| 1. Optimize Your Title Tag. | | | | 6. The thing about images |
| Always important to remember your keywords, also | | | | I mentioned before that search engines can't read |
| in your titel tag, do never write your company name | | | | images, thats not completly true, images has an ALT |
| or something like that, instead use a descriptive text | | | | tag, that makes it possible for your to put in a |
| containing as many keywords relevant to your site | | | | descriptiv text to the images, some says that google |
| subject as possible. (note: keep your titel about 60 | | | | sees that, so here is the code.img src='my_image.jpg' |
| characters). | | | | width='50' height='60' |

| 'see' them, so you need som descriptive text | | | | text that is emphasized (eg. h1). so mytheory is, if |
| content, search engines has a very complex way of | | | | you are doing as I have done for years, just writting |
| reading a website for content and to find out what | | | | text and then set up the visual part in a seperate css |
| your site is about, so remember to use alot of good | | | | file, then google can't se that the text is a header1 or |
| relevent keywords in your text content, (but | | | | header2 text. |

| with these tags anymore, but we don't know, and I | | | | need search engines to find more then just your |
| know that other sites uses them, so why not just | | | | front page. |
| write them anyway). | | | | 10. Some personale words before you go on making |

| your site they looks after a robots file, and if it | | | | is, there may be other ways to market your |
| exists it is easier for search engines to index all your | | | | product, it could even be done cheap or for free, be |
