My Top 10 SEO Tips for Brand New Websites

When you are ready to build a website for your business there are a a few simple search engine optimization tips you should consider as soon as you purchase your domain name. Implementing a few things correctly, right from the beginning, can slingshot your website into top search rankings within just a few months of launching.
These are my top ten highly effective SEO tips which you can apply to your website for free:
Choose a short descriptive URL with your primary keywords in it (if possible).
Only target a few MAJOR keywords and the variants thereof on each page.
Separate keywords with hyphens in the url – with the domain name being the exception, preferably.
Use Keywords in your navigation links where they make sense, however, like always, don’t overuse them.
Optimize your title tag – a good rule of thumb is up to 70 characters with your most important keywords first. Separate phrases with a “|”.
Optimize your meta description tag – One or two sentences max; using a keyword variant or two.
Provide a substantial amount content on each page and use a few keyword variants within the content.
Install Google Analytics.
Add a blog to your website and post to it at least once a week – don’t use a separate domain name for your blog, make it a sub-directory or sub-domain and fully integrated into your main site.
Get links pointed to your website using keywords in the anchor text related to the page they link to – AboutUs.org, DMOZ.org and sending a free press release are a few good ways to start.
