What is Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
Optimization comes from the Latin word "optimus", which means best. Search Engine or Web Search Engine is a set of programs and algorithms used to search the internet. Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask are the big four search engines. Thus, in simple words, SEO means making your site the best or on top of search engine results.
I have done some research on what are the rules or guidelines to follow on how to optimize your site, making it search-engine friendly, avoiding being penalized and most of all to stay on the first page of search engine results then finally on the top spot, being number one on the list. I don't want to use hard to understand computer terminologies because my main audience are beginner webmasters and publishers who know little about SEO and site traffic. In order to make your page, article, hub, lens, blog or website content search-engine friendly and ultimately achieve the first position on the first page of search engine results, follow these general principles, simple rules and guidelines detailed below:
Rules, Guidelines and Tips for Optimizing your website(s):
- Page Title of your site should be relevant to its contents. (Example: Daily Chess Puzzles)
- Domain or subdomain URL should be related and should reflect the page title. (Example: http://www.daily-chess-puzzles/mate2.htm)
- Choose words and keywords carefully and precisely. (Example: chess puzzles, solutions to chess puzzles)
- Use appropriate and relevant Headings on your content. (Example: Solutions to mate in 2 chess puzzles:)
- The site content should be unique, rich in quality, informative, useful and easy to understand.
- Think about your readers. Your article should be positive, educational, clear, straightforward and natural.
- Think of repeat visitors. Think of your visitors bookmarking your site. You want your visitors to keep coming back in case they miss something.
- Think of visitor recommendations. A visitor may endorse your site to his or her friend and relatives, thereby increasing your site visits.
- The site structure, format and general outlook should be reader-friendly, easy to navigate and provide excellent user experience and satisfaction.
- A picture is worth a thousand words. Provide photos with related headers, footers or captions.
- A video is worth a million words. Include videos relevant to the topics in your article content showing detailed explanations, instructions and procedures.
- Use relevant tags. Limit the number of tags to a maximum of 15. (Example: chess, game, puzzles, problems, solutions, mate, checkmate, 2 moves)
- Provide links to other related, trusted, quality and content-rich sites. (Example: See also, Read also, Click here for more information on Chess Puzzles)
- Place backlinks (incoming links to your website) to other prominent, highly rating, high PageRank sites, social networking sites, blogging sites, forums, etc.
- Provide a Guest book (a place where readers can leave their comments, ideas or opinions).
- Moderate comments to avoid spam which would result in your site being removed from the index of search engines.
To optimize your site on search engines, beware of these warnings:
- Don't abuse (deceptively repeat) keywords to avoid being penalized on your page ranking and rating.
- Don't use spam, schemes to influence search engine algorithms and other evil manipulations to avoid being removed from search engine indices.
- Don't rewrite or otherwise copy and make duplicate content from other sites to avoid copyright or trademark infringements and violations.
- Don't make your article content full of twists and turns, just be honest, direct and concise about the topic of discussion.
- Don't include malicious, deceitful, fraudulent and harmful links in your site.
How to increase traffic to your website, blogs, pages, lenses or hubs?
By following the rules and guidelines enumerated above and avoiding the warnings listed, it should bring satisfactory result in optimization of your site which would then cause numerous visitors generating tons of page views and thus creating a massive huge traffic to your site.
How do I earn money online on the internet?

hi free4india,
I respect your opinion on this. thanks for your comment!
I think it is not ALWAYS easy for computers to distinguish between a human and a computer. It is also very difficult for a computer to distinguish between a real link and a link for the purpose of linking or pushing up the site. This is my personal opinion and experience that spamming and linking are really getting the sites pushed up regardless of what anyone tells. The only exception are the very obvious spams and irritating spams. Simple spams and decent spams are not considered by spam by everyone and end up getting the purpose intended. I dont spam but my competitors who spammed have gone ahead and overtaken me.
hi TotalGoogleTrafficPump,
I appreciate your comments and recommendations here but my purpose for creating this hub (article) is how to create or generate TRAFFIC NATURALLY. I guess you know what I mean. I don't want (nor recommend my audience) to use any manipulative programs or steps that are usually deceptions, tricks or strategies that would result in great website disasters and prove to be nothing of a benefit in the long run.
If you have a website, and you have a great product to sell, your main concern is to get your website to the point where you make money from it. How can you make money if your site is not getting any traffic?
It used to be hard to get traffic to your site. You had to spend a ton of money to get your website set up to take the orders, and then another bunch of money to get traffic to your website. You don’t have to do that anymore. Why not? I have a powerful, effective technique that if followed will guarantee your hit counter will exploded, and just in 15 minutes.
I created a 15 minute five-step process that will catapult your hit counter. It will be like looking at your electric meter when you run the air conditioner. The only difference, the counter that is turning is your hit counter. And this means a heavy amount of traffic to your site. And do you know what happens when you get a heavy amount of traffic to your site? If your sales copy is written properly, you will gain a ton of sales. Isn’t that what you want? Isn’t that why you built your website for to begin with?
Why have a non-productive website when it can be making untold amount of money for you. All you need to start it is by getting traffic to your site. And I solved that problem for you as well. Take a look at my super powerful program and you will find your hits skyrocket to the roof, even within 15 minutes.
I know it works because I have a friend who owns three websites. He wasn’t seeing much traffic to any of them. As such, he wasn’t' making any money. When he tried my super powerful program, not only did his traffic increase to all his websites, but he also started making tons of money. If he can do it so can you.
Don’t waste another day watching your hit counter slowly increase when you can watch your hit counter turn at the speed of light.
hi dahoglund,
I'll try my best to provide help on the topic.
I'm bookmarking this hub. I need all the help I can get on this subject.
hi urs_dipak,
I appreciate your comment. Thanks!
Simply suberb, a very nice hub
Hi Nick,
Thanks for your comment. Yes it's my intention to help new hubbers earn money from their articles. I tried my best to KEEP IT SIMPLE as possible. Hope this helps.
Great hub, I think that you have some useful information here and many that are new to seo will be sure to benefit from the information you have shared. Just a side note, generally page rank is not used in reference to the ranking your site has on the search engine results page, this is simple Google PR, which is a little different. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to reading more from you soon.
