Last but by no means least you need to market your website. You could have the best web design in the world, but if you don’t get any traffic to it, you may as well not exist.
SEO is not so complicated, unless you are going for really competitive key phrases, it is just time consuming. There are two areas to SEO that need to be taken in to consideration. That is the onsite work and the offsite work. The onsite work purpose is to make the website relevant to the chosen key phrases. This is done in several ways, that is the content and the meta tags. If you want to go one step further you can look to updating it frequently and creating as many pages as you can, but that come further down the line.
The most important aspect of SEO is the back linking. This needs to be done slowly and with quality back links. Stay away from anyone that will generate 1000 links for $10. The likely hood will be that this is done with a machine and Google will discount it anyway. Link building is best done manually. The best way to do link building is devote a couple of hours a day to the link building process. Useful techniques include article writing, forum submission, blog commenting and blog creation. Try to make the links relevant and provide useful and informative information to the readers.
The worst thing you can do is spam your domain with 1000′s of irrelevant low quality links. Although there is speculation that this would damage your site, it can be hard to rank in the top spots if the site looks spammy to Google. SEO is a slow and time consuming process, so be patient and in the end, you will get the results you are looking for.
