Thinkable Using Search Engine Optimisation to get good results from the likes of Google is a must for any webmaster. Whether you’re using SEO to increase organic traffic from the big search engines or you’re using SEO to higher your ranking in Google, these top 10 basic SEO tips will help get you started.
1. The title of your webpage is important
Search engine spiders will crawl through your pages to get information about your website which will be used in the search engines results. Having a good well informed title is one of the most important SEO methods and the webmaster should use keywords related to their website content.
2. A sitemap is very useful
Having a Sitemap page on your site is very useful and almost all search engine crawlers will know where they’re heading on your website and if your pages are well linked together it makes it much easier for the crawler to gather information and place it on their search results.
3. Back links
One of the better ways to achieve a higher ranking in search engines is to have thousands of back links linked to your website from other sites. One of the best ways to achieve this is to either pay for permanent links to your site or submit your website’s content to directories and article directories if you have articles to submit.
4. Anchor text & links
It is essential to use relevant anchor text when linking back to your website. An example of anchor text for a website design company and search marketing company could be “website design” or “search engine optimisation”.
This helps the crawler know exactly what your website is about and what keywords you’re targetting, so when “website design” is typed in a search engine then you will stand a better chance of getting on the first few pages.
5. Vary your title information
Having the same title on every page of your website isn’t the best way to go about things and if you have thousands of pages search engines will probably think you’re “keyword stuffing” and your website will likely be sandboxed.
Make sure you change the title of all your pages so you’ll most likely get searched by other keyword variations.
6. Using black hat methods will get you sandboxed
One of the black hat methods we discussed earlier was “Keyword Stuffing” & another is linking to and from link farms. Link farms are websites that displays thousands of links to other websites and usually regarded as spam by the top search engines.
7. Use images wisely
Images have a simple method of being SEO’d as well so if you have a gallery of pictures and want pictures displayed in the “images” part of Google then this method is perfect if used correctly. You should vary your alt tag so you’ll not be sandboxed for keyword stuffing.
8. Take advantage of the common HTML tags
If you want to target a particular keyword then sometimes wrapping the b or ul tags can work wonders. While this isn’t always recommended to do around all of the keywords you’re targetting a couple of times is usually sufficient.
9. Take advantage of your back links
When other websites link back to your website they only usually link back to your main page, while this is still good you can still take advantage of it. Get linked to different pages of your website as well so search engines see that you have lots of good content throughout your website.
10. Get a steady flow of visitors
Produce useful content and visitors will just keep coming back and back. Another excellent way to keep your visitors informed of website updates and new content is to get them to either add your rss feed or register to a weekly newsletter that keeps them informed of all the goings on.

Thinkable Bandwidth is the gauge measuring the amount of data transmitted over your internet connection. There are many ways to assess just how much bandwidth you are going to need, but you will need a clear idea before choosing your hosting package.
There are many good, reputable hosting providers out there who will offer you good packages. Always be wary of web hosting providers who offer you unlimited bandwidth. There are no broadband connection companies who offer unlimited bandwidth at a certain price; therefore it is impossible for a hosting company to offer the same thing.
In most cases, these kinds of hosting providers will plaster advertisements all over your website. This can take away from the professional look of your site. Some may even offer unlimited bandwidth or free hosting, but they will have a plethora of terms and conditions, such as not being allowed to upload large files, images or videos. Being unable to have the content that you need could affect your internet marketing efforts.
It is best to shop around, after a bit of research, you will easily be able to determine what sort of hosting package you will need. It is always best to go with a company that will allow you to upgrade your bandwidth should you find that you are using too much every month.
Some thoughts to take into consideration when deciding how much bandwidth you will need are:
How many users are you expecting to visit your site each month?
How many pages are you expecting your site to consist of? Remember, quality, not quantity is important. Consider how many images and videos you are planning to have on your site.
Keep a watch on your bandwidth usage for the first few months to assess whether you have chosen the right package. This can be tracked by seeing how many visitors you are getting.
