Top keyword rankings at Search Engines for your legitimate home internet business is an easy goal of the experienced SEO expert. But could the average marketer like you and me reach this goal too?

Update Your Site Regularly
There could be some people who may still not know how important it is to update your content on your Home Page. According to an SEO Specialist I have consulted with, this should be done at least every 17 days. Updating your description meta tag to reflect your page content is required and it is also recommended to have your title meta tag updated every 6 to 17 months.

Why 17 Days? The average engine update is 10 days and doing most SEO things every other update with 50+ sites shows to be just as effective as doing them every update with 20 to 30 sites because of the quality owned crosslink. I came up with 17 by doubling 10 days and subtracting 3 to make sure my high engine hitters are at their best for the probable second engine crawl.

Beware of Keyword Stuffing
Once you have determined all your relevant keywords to be used for your legitimate home internet business site, you have to remember to periodically check that you do not fall guilty of keyword stuffing. Here is a keyword density analyzer that can help you quickly achieve this and keep your website search engine friendly. There is a good possibility that keyword stuffing may be made a search engine algorithm penalty according to Matt Cutts from Google.

Site Evaluation
It pays to evaluate your site to determine what you are doing wrong and at the same time get your website high up in natural search results. Here is one excellent tool I have used to do this called Website Grader. Besides the on-page site evaluation, it also provides you with useful information like your inbound links, Google backlinks, Google’s last crawl date, and even information on your selected competitors.

Maintain a Fast Loading Site
Do you prefer a beautiful website which loads incredibly slow or an average looking website which is super fast? Well the answer is obvious as most people completely ignore slow loading sites. It is also one of the top blogging tips on how to get repeat visitors to your blog or website. Here are a few things you can do to achieve this:

Minimize the bytes of your html write-up by deleting unwanted characters keeping them to a minimum for fast loading pages. I’ve come across this tool called an image cruncher which can do this. Unfortunately doing this will slightly reduce the quality of the viewed image but will reduce it’s byte size for a faster loading page.

Validate your html write-up using an HTML validator. This keeps your site fast off the server.

Remove Canceled Link Exchange Sites . It is so important to conduct such checks for sites who have ended a link exchange with you. The main reason for doing so is to prevent what is called page rank bleeding, which will hurt your search rankings.

Remove links not working for your legitimate home internet business because no one likes to be sent to a page that doesn’t work. Personally I like to do this manually by checking all my outbound links and have all bad links removed immediately.

Add high quality web page to your pages so that these pages can eventually have better page ranks. If you have an older site or page with low PR, this could raise your PR when there is a pagerank update.

A personal experience I can share with you is this. Take a look at my blog post called “Boost your Legitimate Home Business with Hit Tail” I wrote in Feb 2008 which had PR0. Just about 2 weeks ago during my Link Building Strategy project, I started adding some nice pictures just to add some color into this old post. The result of my experiment: this page jumped rank from PR0 to PR3 in a matter of 2 – 3 weeks. How did this happen you might ask? Well with a little bit of work, some intuition and lots of luck I guess. It so happened that my blog post title has a word which matches that of this picture url, ranked PR4 and the word “Long Tail” in its title can be found all over my blog post. As we know that Google does not recognize images so this proves the point I am raising on the subject.

Brilliant information Peter, just at a time when I am trying to SEO my site.

I paid for my index.html to be SEO’d and am now concentrating on the remainder of my pages, doing it myself. This series of articles is first class information and you should consider collating them and selling as an ebook.

Thanks

Well Peter,

Excellent info as usual!

I agree - from everything I am learning about SEO, consitency and regularity in your work is a must.

I have been using Web CEO to very good affect although I haven’t mastered it yet! I suppose all good things come in time!

I also think it’s important to start with SEO even id you do not know everything because every little bit helps!

What do you use to check on cancelled link exchange sites?……and where can you find your outbound links on your site without going through everything?
