First, make sure that your website is optimized for targeted keywords that will make you money. If you’re selling a product, it’s typically a good idea to target a narrow keyword as oppose to a broad one. Include your keywords in the h1, h2, and h3 tags of your xhtml document.
Two, make sure that your keywords appear at least once in the title tags of your documents.
Three Make sure that you have keywords in the Meta tags of your document. Yeah, Google doesnt delegate much prominence to keywords in these tags, but other search engines DO.
Make sure that your targeted keywords appear within the first 500 words of your document.

Make sure that your website is indexed in Yahoo, or manually submit your
website for inclusion in this network if it’s not already in there.

Make sure that there are no broken links on your website, as this will make it very difficult for your website to get indexed by the search engines if it does.
Make sure that your website uses proper xhtml and css code that conforms to w3c standards.
Find a reliable webhost. If you’re using a shared server, then you are putting your search engine efforts in danger! The reason for this is that share servers share the same exact ip as several other websites. This means if one website gets banned from a network from spamming, then this could affect your website’s well!!
Add your website to niche related forums that allows signatures.
Spell check your website. If you misplace keywords, or write their wrong format, then this could affect your search engine rankings for the negative.

Sponsor a wordpress theme.
If you utilize open source technologies, then donate money to them because many of them will put your website logo on their sponsors page, with a link back to your website.
Implement a link building strategy! Links are how individuals get from one
website to the next via the World Wide Web.
Have unique title tags for every page of your website.
Have unique meta tags for every page of your website.
Bigger is better. Try and add as many quality pages on your website as possible, ecause the more quality pages you have indexed in the search engine equates to more free website traffic.
Add a blog to your website if you don’t already have one.
If you have a static website, and add new content that you want to get indexed, then make sure to ping it after your website is updated. If you’re using an open source blogging platform like wordpress, then this is done for you’re automatically.
Try and get links from authority networks such as .edu websites.
Try and get links from .gov websites.

Never have pages on your website with the same content as this will get you slammed by Google.
Immediately delete all empty pages from your website. Having several empty pages on your website will get you pummeled for duplicate content, because the pages have the same exact content on them, which is
NOTHING.
Use rel=”nofollow” if your linking to pages that are of questionable authenticity.
Don’t stuff keywords in your website, as the result will not be satisfying in the search engines!
Place keywords in the anchor text of your links.
Make sure to utilize density proportional text on your website’s content.

Make sure to not put too many outgoing links on your website.
Make sure that your website doesn’t have too many heavy graphics, as this can slow down the rendering and indexing of your website.
Make sure that your website is built with tableless css for optimal rendering.
If you are trying to target a certain demographic, then it’s a good idea to get the country ccTLD for that domain name. Translate your website using the Google translation tools.
Make the navigation layout of your site easy for web visitors to flow through.
Develop web pages whom primary focus is to solely rank for your targeted keywords.
Submit your website to the most popular Asian search engines, such as Baidu.

Try geotargeting if you want to access a local demographic – the competition is a whole lot less competitive this way.
Fine tune and make the changes to the pages that you want to rank for so that you will be able to gain more search engine presence. From my experience, lost internet marketers are not implementing even 30% of the material that are known common seo facts. Things like this are easy to forget, so it’s important to make the proper changes.
