How To Optimize Your New Site The Correct Way
If you are going to start search engine optimization on your website you can follow these methods to start and do SEO the right way. These method will help you get ranked top in Google.
Step One
You need to research keywords. Start by finding four keywords that has maximum 3 million competing websites in Google. They must also have around 1000 searches a month. At first choose only four but later on you can choose many more keywords.
From the four keywords choose a main keyword.
Step Two
Create your website and add the meta tags. Then add at least one article apart from the content on the main page. If you have disclaimer, terms and conditions and similar types of links put the no follow tags on those links.
Put your main keyword at the bottom of the page, usually near CopyRight All Rights Reserved (c) main keyword goes here.
Do not put any links to other websites on your site. As you can see you should not take much time on this part of search engine optimization that is called the onpage optimization.
Step Three
Now start getting as many links as you can to your websites from other websites. This is called off page optimization and this what is going to really help your rankings.
You can do link exchanges or get one way links from sites like article directories, directories, social bookmarking sites, forums and many more sites where you do not need to link back to them.
When getting links do not always get links to your homepage. Sometimes get links to your article pages or any other page of your site. The anchor text should not always be the exact same text. Remember to input your keywords in your anchor text. Do not use same the same keyword all the time. Vary them as much as possible.
Get as many links as you can. The more the better. Now if you want to get ranked for more than four keywords you may want to hire someone to help you get links. The more keywords you target the more links you need.
As a rule get links from all sorts of sites as long as they are not banned from search engines. Check also that the link towards your site does not have the nofollow tags. There is a plugin called Search Status for Mozilla Firefox that will highlight links that are using the nofollow tags.
You need to get steady amount of links. The idea is to get same number of links everyday. The higher the number the better. Do not get a hundred today and nothing for the rest of the week. So if you are getting links and have not hired someone to help you, 15-30 links a day is a great.
Now apart from getting links you should also tweak a bit your site once again. You can add a blog and update it with content regularly. Search engines love new content. Create a sitemap on your site and put only the most important pages on it. It is a good idea to submit a sitemap to Google sitemaps.
So keep in mind that search engine optimization deals with the onpage and offpage optimization techniques. However put your effort on the offpage techniques. Spent few time on the onpage optimization cause it is not that important.

Why I Denied Your Web Directory Submission
Submitting to Website directories is an essential part of a balanced SEO strategy. However, there are a lot of people submitting their Websites only to find their requests denied. Yes, I am one of the critics as I am the owner of the VMOptions Web Directory. And I will explain to you how to avoid the most common mistakes in directory submissions. My goal is to help you become more effective and efficient in your directory submission process.
Now don’t take it personal when I decline your submissions. I certainly don’t take it personal when I receive MFA (Made for Ad) submissions. Now that we are ok with each other, let’s look at some tips that will help you get listed not only at the VMOptions Web Directory, but at other directories as well.
Is Your Website Complete?
During the review process, Web directory owners focus on reasons for rejecting a submission. All the good your Website has to offer can be negated by under construction pages, dead links, page errors, and poor design quality and/or appearance. These issues should be resolved prior to submitting any Website for a review.
Limit the Ads
Many directory owners frown on Websites that appear to be made strictly for ad revenue. As a rule of thumb, I normally always accept one ad block. If two ad blocks appear on the main page of the Website, then it becomes more difficult for me to approve the ad. Once I see three or more ad blocks, the submission is likely to be rejected.
Submit Efficiently
Entering your data manually can be a time consuming process. Fortunately there is software that will help you do this with one or two clicks. In fact, some of the software is free to use for a single Website. More information about free software to improve your submission speeds can be found on our free directory list page (http://www.vmoptions.com/directory-list.php). Using such software can substantially improve your submission speeds.
Get a List
Finding directories to submit your Website to can also be very time consuming. Some software solutions provide an internal list of Website directories. Also, there are Website directory lists available on the Internet. Regardless, it is important to be organized and to have a list in hand before submitting. Otherwise, you will find yourself submitting to directories that you already submitted to.
Submit to Newer Directories
Many well established directories can take months to review your Website. Additionally, these established directories tend to have higher listing standards then new directories. If your goal is to build backlinks as quickly as possible, then you must focus on new directories. These directory owners are eager to review and list your Website so that the content of their directory will grow. For this reason we have our own free directory list available for your use. Simply visit http://www.vmoptions.com/directory-list.php for more information. This list contains mostly new and recently discovered directories that truly want your free listings.
Your Submission Information
When you complete a submission form, make sure the title is not stuffed with keywords. Not only do directory owners frown upon this, but so do the search engines. Use a title that is a variant of your targeted keyword(s). Also, make sure that you write a long description for your Website. If your description is long enough, it is quite possible that the search engines will rank your detail page. And by all means, use a valid E-mail address! I can’t tell you how many submissions I declined because the submitter did not use a valid E-mail address.
Vary Your Submission Information
There are thousands of Web directories available to submit to. During your submission process you should routinely change your title and description. As noted above, use variants of your targeted keyword(s). In the long run, this will not only look like a more natural linking pattern to the search engines, but will help you rank for a variety of keywords.
Submit to the Proper Category
This is very important and probably the main reason why I reject submissions at my directory. Most directory owners receive many submissions per day. To re-categorize submissions is simply too time consuming. By spending the time to choose the correct category to submit under, you will have greatly increased your chances of getting listed.
Submitting to Web directories is a time consuming and continual process. Using the tips outlined above, in most cases, should improve the number of successful submission reviews you receive.

Search Engine Ranking: Basic Tips to Improve Search Engine Ranking of your Website
Search engine ranking is the ranking of a website or web page in the search engine result pages, for a given key word or keyword phrases.
Getting top search engine ranking requires your site to be designed well and is easily crawlable by the search engine spider. Designing a search-engine-friendly web site isn’t difficult; you just have to keep a few basic concepts in mind.
Search engines like to spider and rank sites that appeal to visitors. The main challenge for search engine developers is to create algorithms that will favor user-friendly web sites while casting aside sites that are created only for spiders.
There are a few important things you should follow to improve your Search Engine Ranking:
• Your title tag should contain those keywords that meaningfully describe your page. Note that this “title” refers to the one in the ‘head’ section of your document, not the one displayed in your browser window.
• The description Meta tag may also influence the ranking of your page for specific search terms. This means, presumably, that if someone searches for a particular keyword, and it appears in your description and title tags, Google adds importance to it.
• Keyword density is important to Google. This probably means that if someone searches for “search engine ranking” and your page has many instances of that keyword phrase and other synonymous phrases, your page is considered more relevant than another pages with those phrases or individual words scattered all over the page.
• Words in the keyword meta tag have the same value as the other words on the web page itself, except for one very important case: if your meta keyword tag contains keywords that do not occur in your main web page, your page will be penalized. Your Search Engine Ranking may improve if you use both the title tag and relevant Meta tag.
• Google considers keywords stuffing, extremely small text, hidden text, etc. to be spamming.
• As far as possible try to avoid duplicate content: this includes mirrors of your site as well as identical content appearing from different domain names.
Remember, search engine users generally only explore the first 20 sites in the search results. If you site isn’t there in the top 20, you are more likely not to be visited, it’s as simple as that. You should always follow a regular search engine optimization process to make your site updated and appear as effective as a billboard on a street. Therefore, select the best SEO services available, and start the journey towards higher search engine ranking NOW!
