Google will help you get better search results- For FREE!

I’ve just been hanging out at the Google Webmasters Tools site. It’s amazing how much info and help there is, and it’s free!

In particular, I downloaded and read the Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide, it’s incredibly simple and straight-forward, you’ll have to register, but it’s FREE!

I’m pretty excited to put some of the things I’m learning into practice. But here are some quick highlights:

1) All your Pages need <title> and TAG, which is unique to each page.

2) Use words in your URL’s, be descriptive, simple- use lowercase letters.

3) Site navigation, focus on simplicity and ease of use. Again, Google has another tool, Sitemap Generator Script. Yes, it’s free.

I’m using WordPress so a lot of these things are very simple to do. And that’s another exciting subject.

I’ll be adding more later, stay tuned…
