  2. in a cold sweat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  3.  
  4. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  5.  
  6. &lt;p&gt;It&#39;s one of those subjects that no one quite seems to understand and experts
  7. are reluctant to explain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  8.  
  9. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  10.  
  11. &lt;p&gt;Well fear not for your knight(ess) in shining armour is here to save the
  12. day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  13.  
  14. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  15.  
  16. &lt;p&gt;There are 5 very simple SEO&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.webworthcheck.com&quot;&gt;http://www.webworthcheck.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;checks
  17. you can make right now. Open up another browser window and pull up your
  18. website.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  19.  
  20. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  21.  
  22. &lt;p&gt;Ready?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  23.  
  24. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  25.  
  26. &lt;p&gt;OK, first things first. Let&#39;s take a look at your website structure:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  27.  
  28. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  29.  
  30. &lt;p&gt;1. Looks aren&#39;t everything&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  31.  
  32. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  33.  
  34. &lt;p&gt;Take a look at your website (this one is especially pertinent for all owners
  35. of custom built websites) does it look flashy with amazing images that fill you
  36. with pride?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  37.  
  38. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  39.  
  40. &lt;p&gt;The problem with custom builds is that, sometimes, looks are at the expense
  41. of SEO, especially if you&#39;ve been seduced by flash. Yes, it looks lovely but
  42. unless you&#39;ve got some magic going on in the background coding it&#39;s not going
  43. to help your search engine optimisation one jot.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  44.  
  45. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  46.  
  47. &lt;p&gt;Template websites (such as those created on the Word Press platform) tend to
  48. be more SEO friendly from the start.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  49.  
  50. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  51.  
  52. &lt;p&gt;2. Keywords&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  53.  
  54. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  55.  
  56. &lt;p&gt;Remember this post is all about simple SEO checks&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.turbowebsitereviewer.com&quot;&gt;http://www.turbowebsitereviewer.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;so
  57. I&#39;m not going to delve into the realms of thorough keyword research.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  58.  
  59. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  60.  
  61. &lt;p&gt;Take a minute to jot down the top 3 words that you would use as a Google
  62. search to find your website.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  63.  
  64. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  65.  
  66. &lt;p&gt;For example I would choose copywriter, freelance copywriter and possibly
  67. Suffolk copywriter to get a geographical tag in there. Next ask a friend or
  68. colleague to do the same, in fact ask as many people as you like to do the same
  69. and eventually you&#39;ll have a list of keywords.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  70.  
  71. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  72.  
  73. &lt;p&gt;You may not think that&#39;s very scientific but it will give you keywords that
  74. real people would search under for you.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  75.  
  76. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  77.  
  78. &lt;p&gt;Next you do the hard bit and work out how competitive they are and which
  79. ones are the best to tackle (you&#39;ll need to use something like Google&#39;s free
  80. keyword research tool for this).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  81.  
  82. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  83.  
  84. &lt;p&gt;It&#39;s also a good idea, before you make any changes to your site, to search
  85. under the terms you decide on and write down your current ranking so you can
  86. watch in awe as your site rises ever higher.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  87.  
  88. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  89.  
  90. &lt;p&gt;That&#39;s your keywords done, (remember - this should always be done before
  91. your website is designed) so what&#39;s next? Well it&#39;s back to your website.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  92.  
  93. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  94.  
  95. &lt;p&gt;3. All present?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  96.  
  97. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  98.  
  99. &lt;p&gt;If you want your site to rank for your identified keywords they need to be
  100. in your copy. That doesn&#39;t mean cramming them into every sentence on the page.
  101. But rather weave them into the text in a couple of places.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  102.  
  103. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  104.  
  105. &lt;p&gt;Your headings and sub headings are always a good place to put them and in
  106. your title tags.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  107.  
  108. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  109.  
  110. &lt;p&gt;OK, so now you&#39;ve got your words in your website copy, what&#39;s next?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  111.  
  112. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  113.  
  114. &lt;p&gt;4. Power content&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  115.  
  116. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  117.  
  118. &lt;p&gt;The next thing to do is write a page or blog post centred on your keywords (one
  119. for each keyword). Again that doesn&#39;t mean stuffing, but using your keywords
  120. wisely (e.g. in a post of about 200-300 words, use your keyword 2 or 3 times).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  121.  
  122. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  123.  
  124. &lt;p&gt;Try and use it in your headings to give it more prominence. Once you&#39;ve
  125. published these on your website you can then use them on your social media
  126. sites too (e.g. your Facebook page) and link back to your site using the
  127. keywords as your anchor text links.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  128.  
  129. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  130.  
  131. &lt;p&gt;With me so far? For the next bit you&#39;ll need a bit of help.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  132.  
  133. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  134.  
  135. &lt;p&gt;5. Get votes&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  136.  
  137. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  138.  
  139. &lt;p&gt;Every link that comes into your website acts like a vote of confidence in
  140. Google&#39;s eyes. The more you have, the more authoritative you are.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  141.  
  142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  143.  
  144. &lt;p&gt;So ask friends and colleagues to link to you (like a link exchange) using
  145. contextual anchor text links.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  146.  
  147. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  148.  
  149. &lt;p&gt;OK, so these 5 tips aren&#39;t the most comprehensive SEO techniques but they
  150. can and will make a difference. So what have you go to lose? Give them a try
  151. and the come back and let me know how you get on.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  152.  
  153. &lt;p&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  154.
