On page SEO

These steps consist of:

- Keywords in Meta tags

The Meta tags come after the title tag and usually include the description tag and the keywords tag, like the title tag these should include your main keywords for that page and be unique to each web page.

- Meta Description Tag

This tag allows you to write a 200-250 character text insert which will appear in the search engine results page. However many search engines including Google tend to ignore the description tag and will some times take snippets of your description and automatically create there own which is used by drawing up words from the body of the page.

- Meta Keywords Tag

In the past the keywords tag was far more superior than it is today, these days it is generally ignored by most of the search engines. However for the time it takes to correctly optimize your keywords tag I do believe it is worth doing. The keywords tag should include 5-7 keywords which are shown throughout your pages content. This is to allow each keyword a high percentage of strength compared to the overall amount of keywords you include, usually around 16%.

- H1 heading tags

The H1 headings tag has a large amount of strength in the Google algorithm and should be optimized on every single page of your website.

- Sitemap

Sitemaps are generally coded in XML and submitted to search engines to help speed up the process of indexing web pages

Submit to search engine

The top 3 search engines are Google, Yahoo and MSN these are the only ones you want to be spending your time submitting your website to, however if the website is not brand new then its more than likely it has already been indexed.

Submit to social bookmarking site

The top 2 social bookmarking site are Digg and Stumbleupon. Digg is basically the big boss of the social networks. Digg very great tool to make your site on top page of Google search result. Stumbleupon is the best social network next to Digg in terms of traffic potential.
