Some of our own SEO tips.

• - Focus on high-quality content and update your content often.
• - Do not over-optimise your  site with too many keywords or hyperlinks. Google’s algorithm is smart and will understand if your site is doing this. Your site may either be removed from search engine listings in the worst-case scenario or de-ranked.
• - Having a good search ranking in Bing and other search engines is indeed a good thing too. Many people do actually use other search engines including Bing, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves.
• - Get link-exchanges with similar sites and blogs. Make sure the link-exchanges benefit you from an SEO perspective (in other words, make sure the other blog does not add a rel=”nofollow” attribute to your hyperlink on their website or blog.
• - Always attribute sources, for example if you have used an excerpt of an article from another site, make sure you provide a link-back to the source. It’s also fine to have the link-back with a rel=”nofollow” attribute which tells compliant search engines (such as Google) to not follow the URL and so it would be useless from an SEO point of view.
• - Advertise your web site where you can – it can help with backlinks and traffic (and SEO).
• Have good file names for the different areas of your web site so it stands out in search results. For example for a page on computer mice accessories, instead of “mice.php”, naming your file “computer-mice-accessories-peripherals.php” is better for SEO and search results (as shown below, highlighted areas of our page for cPanel Web Hosting).
