Slingshot Your Website Into Top Search Rankings

1. Choose a short descriptive URL with your primary keywords in it (if possible).



2. UPDATED: Only target 1-3 major keywords on each page.



3. Separate keywords with hyphens in the url – with the domain name being the exception, preferably.



4. Use Keywords in your navigation links where they make sense, however, like always, don’t overuse them.



5. Optimize your title tag – a good rule of thumb is up to 70 characters with your most important keywords first. Separate phrases with a “|”.



6. Optimize your meta description tag – One or two sentences max; using a keyword variant or two.



7. Provide a substantial amount content on each page and use a few keyword variants within the content.



8. Install Google Analytics.



9. Add a blog to your website and post to it at least once a week – don’t use a separate domain name for your blog, make it a sub-directory or sub-domain and fully integrated into your main site.



10. Get links pointed to your website using keywords in the anchor text related to the page they link to – AboutUs.org, DMOZ.org and sending a free press release are a few good ways to start.

You can use google and just insert what you just asked into the google search bar, and you will get tons of the sites.

I'll attempt giving it a shot for Woxle.com and if it works my appreciation to you for finding it and for the owner for creating it.
