Now you know the top keywords and phrases for your

product or service it's time to obtain a top ranking for these

within the big Search Engines. Remember Search Engines produce

your most valuable visitors, the customer is already looking for

your product or service by the time they hit your pages.



So how does one obtain a top ranking for a particular keyword ?



The answer lies in how search engines analyze a page. The exact

search engine algorithms used to rank pages are a closely

guarded secret, however by careful analysis and deduction it is

possible to get an overall picture of what is important and what

isn't.



By knowing which parts of page are important to the search

engine Algorithm, you can adjust those areas of your page to

include your keywords and phrases. This process is often called

'Page Optimization' however I like to call it 'Page Crafting',

since this process requires more than just mechanically

following a set of rules, it requires knowledge and skill.

(Don't worry though we have a free guide at the end of this

article which provides you with the knowledge and shows you how

to develop this skill).



In the early years many people deliberately abused this process

by optimizing pages for keywords and phrases, which have little

or nothing to do with the real subject of their page. As a

result the Search Engines have fought back by making the

algorithms more complex and taking into account aspects which

are not within the page itself.

e.g. The subject of the whole site, The subject of sites which

link to your page.



In addition many of the original aspects which were important

are now given very little (if any) weight by the search engines.

e.g. Meta Tags and Comment Tags.



Don't worry, although it has become more complex we have created

a Free Guide which shows you what is important and takes you

through the process of optimizing your pages. This Free guide

can be found at,

The fact that this process is now complex is actually an

advantage for you. You see, the vast majority are now getting

page optimization wrong ! This is good because it leaves the

path clear for you. By using the free guide you will do it right

and leap ahead of your competition.



Take your time with this, do it correctly and you will obtain

top rankings and hence attract all those pre-qualified

customers !



Next week we will talk about the correct way to get your pages

listed with the Search Engines and why you should avoid the

mass submission services (especially the free ones) like the

plague !
