Search Engine Optimization

Beginners S. E. O. Tutorial


When we talk about search engine optimization the first thing I think about is keywords. A keyword according to Wikipedia is " A word describing a concept found in a document such as a Web page, constituting part of the metadata for the document". The metadata in a web page is located in what is called the head of the document.

A HTML document has two parts we will discuss here, the head and the body. For the sake of this tutorial the head of the HTML document contains the following tags, the page title, description, and the keywords.

Meta TagsThe tags are highlighted in yellow. The description and the keywords tags are called meta tags. The title tag should contain one or more keywords. The title tag is the title that is displayed on the top of the browser window. The description tag is the words that most search engines use when the search results are displayed. The description tag should contain as many keywords as possible. If you use too many words in your whole description will not be displayed. The keywords are the words and/or phrases that most people will use in the search engine to find your site. These keywords should be chosen carefully. The kewords and keyword phrases must also be contained in the body of your wep page. The body of the wep page is the part between the tags (<body></body>). The body of the web page is the part that actually shows up in your browser.
