Tips & tricks for better search engine rankings,
meta-tags & site promotion.
Search engines are the most recommended means to
get your web site effectively exposed, and above of
all they are free (the best of search engines are!).
Maintaining a noteworthy position is absolutely crucial.
Many companies generate permanent and ever growing
customers through search engines.
Getting your web site escalated in the first 10 results
on a surfer's query, will result in a high-traffic return.
There are several methods to achieve a highly ranked position.
The number two criterion most search engines use to
rank a web site, or a web page is link popularity.
Link popularity can be increased through reciprocal links,
or through popularity promotional services.
__________________________________________________
In a few words link popularity is the total number
of web sites, that link back to a web site.

The fundamental principles and methods
of achieving a note-worthy position,
are analyzed below:
1) Meta tags:
Placing meta tags onto your pages is vital.
Search engines robots read a web site's meta tags
to produce results based on queries.
Using them wisely is like being a wizard
who handles his spells better than anyone.
This can be a great payback for generating traffic.
a) Title tags:
A brief and descriptive text including
your best keywords in the tags.
Make sure the text is appealing
to attract attention.
b) Description tags:
The text margin for the description
can be longer here than the title tag.
A good description informing about a web site's content,
would turn targeted traffic rolling in.
c) Keyword tags:
Preferably use keywords relevant
to the text of your web pages.
Search engines seek out for relevancy between
the keyword tags, and the text that lies onto a web page.
A variation of keyword stacking like :
"search engines, search engine secrets,
search engine ranking, search engine positioning"..
would work, but do not over do it,
for the reason why that most search engines
would ban a web site from its database,
or deprive it a good position,
if it uses spamming tactics.
3) Doorway pages:
Doorway pages are a sure fire tactic to get indexed high.
They are specifically designed to feed search engines
with pure html code and meta tags.
If used properly they can bring any web site
onto the surface, but just like keywords,
do not overexert.
Some experts use them so intelligently
and camouflage them in such a way,
that they just do not look like doorway pages,
so they avoid a possible indexing interdiction
(see Search Engine Pro-2001).
Combining the forces of link popularity
and a strategic usage of meta tags,
will turn any web site literally
hot wired and competitive.
Many webmasters have resorted to
submission software to boost rankings
and automate the indexing procedure.
These tools are promoted aggressively
by marketers and promise to produce
superlative results. "Yes", they are good but...
for rookies.
The main purpose to using such tools is
to automate your search engine submission,
but better resort to other,more sophisticated
promotional avenues.
The days of productivity for this kind of software
are almost in the end. Do you think anyone could cheat
search engines, so easily by buying such a tool for 100-200$ opposed to the millions the mammoths invested for their intelligent robots?
Indexing policies are constantly revised,
and sometimes using past technology software
to promote your web site can do more harm than good.
Some of these submission tools did a relatively good job,
but once upon a time...
Another alternative if you have no time
to get into the submission procedure,
is using a service that deals with engines.
This option is recommended if you want
to totally devote your time in promoting
your product, filling out orders and dealing
with customers.
The only off-putting of the story,
is that these services usually ask more
than enough to perform this job.
This alternative is to only save you
from devoting 5 minutes/48h to do it your self.
If you have enough time at your disposal,
promote,optimize and submit your site all
by your self.
Anyone can lure quality search engine traffic,
as long as there's a solid promotion plan,
"Know-how", and a systematic methodology.
