Search Engine Optimization

Isn't it convenient to get online and within a few clicks of the mouse a person can find out how to do just about anything and learn about everything? One key ingredient to making this search so effective and efficient are hash tags and other methods of tagging.
What is tagging? Tagging occurs when anything is posted on the Internet it is given key words that are related to the message or content of the video or document. Then when someone types words into the search engine that are related, all information about the words that were typed in are then given to the searcher.
This is the basic idea behind tagging however why is it that certain information on the web is views so much more than other information that is very similar in content? There are good ways to tag and there are better ways.
Here are a few ideas of how businesses or individuals can optimize and increase the number of viewer and users of their sites.
According to one SEO expert here are 10 tips to help optimize your site:
1." Find the best key words
2. Discover what your competitors are doing
3. Write very linkable and sharable content.
4. Optimize your title and meta tags.
5. Optimize your heading and sub-headings
6. Use title and ALT attributes
7. Optimize file nomenclatures
8. Tell the search engine what to context.
9. Feed search engines static and XML site maps.
10. Use checklists and validators."
My personal favorite from these tips is the very first one and possibly the simplest, "find the Best key words." It is easy to hastily post something or upload something to the Internet, but if you can take the time to figure out the best key words then the number of visitors to your site will be drastically enhanced.
Perhaps the best advice I heard from doing a bit of research was found on the following website http://www.searchengineoptimizationtoronto.com/ It stated that it doesn't matter what tactics are used to assist your SEO there is no substitute for quality content.
