SEO is Search Engine Optimization. If your pages are not optimized correctly, they will never be found by the search engines. This page is the most important page of this site for building a website. The tools here are essential to making your website rank higher in the search engines.

If you do not know about keywords and keyword density, you will be in for a lick of trouble. Keywords are what the search engines search for.

For example: Lets say you have a website on Italian Recipes. Your keywords would be something like "italian recipes", "pasta", "foods of italy", "rigatoni dishes" etc. Its best if you also make the website name part of your keywords. Example: Sophias-foods-of-italy.com. I like to add the dashed between words so the search engines can read them easier, but it is not absolutely necessary. Each page of your website should have its own keywords.

Keywords density is how many times your keyword is used on that page. If you don't have enough, you may not be found, but if you have to many the search engines will ban your site for keyword spamming. There are links to keyword density checkers below.

 Content is another very big issue these days. If you do not have enough content on your pages, the search engine spiders will not index you. Also make sure that all the content on your website is original. The spiders will also check for plagiarism.  The article your reading is content. Make sure you have plenty of original content and the the search engines will love you all the more.

You can use PLR articles (private label rights), but you must rewrite them in your own words. They are a great resource and you will definitely be able to use the format of the article. There are many PLR sites in the internet. Some free and others charge a nominal fee for an article.
