- Pay close to your title tags.
The title tag is very important since search engines look for title text when they are going to the index page. For those who don’t know, a title tag describes a particular page of your site. They are actually HTML tags that contains text. When you use a title tag, make sure that it accurately describes the content of your page.

This way any topic related to your page will be easier to find.
- Analyze your keywords.
You can use a good keyword analyzer tool. One of the most popular is Google’s Keyword Selection Tool at: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal.

- Place your keyword in your page headline.
When search engines scan your site they rate the text in your headline. So when you are creating the content for your site you should always place your main keyword in your page headline.
These are some very basic ways that you can optimize your website. If you follow them then you will see your sites search engine rankings improve steadily over time. As always, you need to test and tweak every change you make to your site to determine the effectiveness of these changes.
