Building a website is not an easy task and it takes a lot of work. Often people think that the moment they publish, that flocks of people are going to arrive at their site. Unfortunately it doesn't happen that way ,and that's what makes search engine optimization so very important. After all, the higher up you get in page rankings, the more likely your site will get noticed. SEO is the way the search engines learn about your website and determine what is important about them.

On page optimization is pretty easy and must be a target not only for the main web page but also for every single content page within the website.

The following are the few of the techniques of On Page SEO web design optimization:

Add Keyword in Title: Include ONLY our main keywords. The least amount of words you can place in the title, the more weight Google will give to each of the keywords and the higher you will rank.

You are most likely familiar with header tags. They look like this H1.The header tag is like your title content. It must be as close to the top of the page as possible and contain the keywords.

Add Keywords in H2 header tags: This can be thought of as a sub heading for our webpage. You should place your 2nd most important keyword in the H2 header tag. The H2 tag should be placed somewhere towards the top half of your webpage

Keyword Density: It is the percentage of the number of times the keyword or keyword phrases appear as compared to the number of words in a particular webpage. Try to mention each keyword in a natural way as you are writing

Yahoo is partial to text consisting of keywords in bold or italics. Bold depicts that it is strong in meaning and the italics refers to emphasis. This is in reference to the tags found in the body or the posts in bogs.

How you prepare your image tags is important as well. These are ALT and they are the description for the search engine to know what the image is. Without overdoing it try and get the keyword into the image description as well.

Anchor Text: It is the clickable or the visible text within the hyperlink.

Your Urls are very important as search engines take a look at the words used in these as well. So make sure you use URLs that you can include your keywords in.

Link navigation is also very important keep it as simple as possible by only needing a few clicks to get around your site. This assists the search engines in getting around as well.

However I have to point out that on page SEO is not as affective as off page SEO. You can read my another articles "How to Do Off Page SEO" if you are really serious about your website optimization.
