Do you know how to get your website on the first page of google's search results? If you don't, you soon will.

Regardless of how you market your website, you should take the time to learn search engine optimization. There is no other marketing method that I know of where you can get a constant flow of free quality traffic to your website everyday.

Before I show you how to optimize your web pages, I like to make a quick point. You do not need a large site to get great rankings on google. You can have a one page website and optimize it for one keyword, and be on the first page of googles search results for that keyword. This would be hard to achieve because google's search engine values link popularity. Most websites will not link to yours if its only one page. Your site would not be providing any value to their readers, but a website that's just 5 pages can be of value as long as it provides good quality information.

Now lets optimize your web pages. Optimize each of your web pages for one keyword. Put they keyword in your title, description, and keyword tags. Here is an example. Lets say your creating a website about ebay and one of your web pages is about ebay auctions. This is how the tags will look.

Ebay Auctions: How to properly setup your auctions

Next write an article about ebay auctions and use the keyword throughout the article. I like to use my keywords once per paragraph. The longer your article the more times you can use your keyword without sounding corny or abusing google's search engine.

Then ask other websites in your industry to place a link on their website to yours. This will help google index your site faster and get you higher results in their search engine.

Even though it is a good idea to optimize your web pages for the search engines, do not go overboard on this. The most important feature of any web page is if your audience finds your article interesting. Google's seach engine keeps track of how long a visitor stays on your website. The more interesting your material, the longer a visitor will stay. Google will reward your site with high rankings when they feel that visitors like your content.
