Links play a great role in getting ranking position on the various search engines. Obtaining inbound links or back links in quantity and quality can influence your search engine rank greatly. One simple way to obtain back links is to submit your link to directories.You can add your site to these directories for free.

But keep in mind some things when you are submitting to directories.

These are:

1.Submit to those directories which has some page rank.
2.Choose right category
3.Make interesting and different titles and description.


I personally suggest that you should add your site manually rather than using any kind of software.

Off Page Optimisation

After implementing on page changes off page optimisation starts.

1. Submit your site to google search engine.Some people suggest that you have to submit your site in each search engine.But I personally believe that if you submit your site to google only site will also get indexed on other search engine automatically which share data with google.So it is wastage of time to submit your site to each and every search engine.

2. Dmoz submission - Submit your site to dmoz directory.As each and every search engine share data with this dmoz.

3.Forum posting: Posting on forums one of the best method for direct traffic and SEO benefits. What you’ll be doing is linking back to your website in your forum signature. Most forums let you do this, so that every time you post on the forum, there is a link back to your website at the bottom of your post.

4.Article writing: This involves writing articles, and submitting them to article directories with a link back to your site. The main article directory BY FAR is EzineArticles.com. Like with forum posting, article writing is used to generate direct traffic, but the links your get back to your site will boost it higher in the search engines.

5.Directory submission: There are hundreds of directories that let you get a free link to your site. The traffic you get from these is going to be very low, if any. It’s also fairly time consuming. However, it’s good to get your site indexed initially.

6.Social bookmarking: Social bookmarking can (potentially) give you tons of traffic. This basically involves submitting your site to major social sites like Digg, StumbleUpon, MySpace, Delicious etc.

7.Blog commenting: When you comment on people’s blogs, you can enter your URL, and this gives you a link back to your site when your comment shows up.

These are all well known tips, just in case you are not familiar with SEO. In the next couple of days I’m going to go over some really REALLY powerful ways to build links, that are not really well known, and have worked well for me.

On page Optimisation


Well, it basically comes down to on page optimization (doing things on your site to get it ranked higher, like having a relevant title tag, meta tags and so on)

1.Analyse your website and see where are scope for improvement in your website.

In analysis you have check html tags are properly used, how css and java script is used.Is site is 100% validated? Some people believs that 100% html validation is not necessary for getting higher ranking on search engin.But I am of there point of view.I believe that is the most important that your site should be 100% validated to begin seo of the site.

Then another analiyse came for keywords.Keyword selection is the most crucial steps in Seo.If you will choose wrong keyword for your site.You will rank but you will get no visitors your site and therefor no sale.

So spends a lot of time for selecting right keywords for your website.
There are lot of tools for slectiing keywords :I always use these site for keywords research they are free :

1 .http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
2. https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Select the write keywords and then allocate these keywords to all of pages of the site.According to product that page is offering.

Afeter allocation of keywords start making titles and meta tags for each pages of your site.

Things to remember while making title and meta tags

1.Make unique titles and meta tags for each of your page.
2.Do not repeat one keyword more than two time in title tag
3.Try to keep your targeted keywords under 65 charchers in title
4.make title meaning full
5.Make a description targetting your main keywords.It should be meaning full which describe your website.It should not too short or too long .Try to restrict it from 150 characters to 170 character.
6.Make keywords tag and use only those keywords which are in your content of the page

Now Next steps is to implement the title and metas on you website.

Make a check for broken links if found fix the same.There should be no any broken link on you site.

Next optimise your css used on page.If css and java coding is used on the page try to recall it from external files rathar using it on page.

Now on page optimisatision is done then next phase start with off page optimisation and this is most important steps of search engin optimisation.

Search Engine Optimization
