Every day thousands of new websites appear online BUT how many will make it to the searches ?
To ensure that your website will receive the traffic it deserves and a place on the many search engines it needs optimising. Many new webmasters will not understand what optimisation means so I have done a simple guide to help them on their way,
unless your website is optimised it is unlikely that you will ever reach the dizzy heights of seeing your website in the top 1000 so here is what you need to do.

First and foremost if you have not got a link page on your website that is your first job, you then email as many webmasters as you can to ask for a reciprocal link. The first few weeks should be spent solely on getting links to your site.
Do not be disappointed if you do not get replies to all your emails as many webmasters have an aversion to linking to new websites but do not give up as it is very important.
Be polite when requesting a reciprocal link a simple message is all that is required as webmasters do not have time to read long and lengthy emails.
Your linking text is very important the title should contain your main keywords likewise the body text, make sure it contains keywords whilst also being interesting to attract attention.
Websites with high PR will help your ranking much more than low ranked sites but remember that these low PR sites are working like you to build their rank so it is more than likely they will reach a high PR at some point in time.

It also helps to find websites with similar keywords as your own as a group of of sites with the same or similar keywords linking to your site will show the search engines that your website is important and this will considerably lift your PR.

Keywords in the body of your website are also important with the main ones being at the top then spread throughout your page without making it too obvious. Work them in to your text so they blend in with what you are writing about.

To find good keywords visit this website http://www.goodkeywords.com/.they have a good keyword tool and it is free.
In order to see your own Google Page Rank, as well as others, you must have the Google Toolbar installed on your computer. You can get that for free here: http://toolbar.google.com/ If you follow this simple guide it will get you started on the road to receiving traffic and getting your website known.

I have been online for over four years and I have learnt mainly by my mistakes but I have now graduated to writing my first E-book.

I am a great grandma so no spring chicken but I have enjoyed some success and many extra holidays since I first began online.

The Internet and my PC is not only profitable but also my favourite hobby.

I have four children, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild. I am kept extremely bust as apart from my PC I have looked after three of my grandchildren since they born due to their parents working fulltime.

The eldest is eight and the youngest is almost three it has been a full time job, unpaid of course but that is what moms are for !

We received quite a blow last year when they discovered my husband had liver cancer but lucky in one way as it a slow growing one and still with me.

I also look after my son aged 42 who had an accident and received a head injury, he is recovering slowly so things are not as black as they might have been.

I try to look on the bright side of life which keeps me going.
