Make sure that your title and first few paragraphs are directly related to what your site is all about, and include relevant keywords whenever possible. Don't forget to name your pictures, photos and graphics files with keywords relevant to your site. If you don't give them names, the search engines will not understand what they are, since bots are unable to really "see". Use ALT text here, as well as for your links.

Don't forget to seek out keyword variations and make use of alternate search terms that are actually being used. There are a number of free keyword tools, including the popular Google tool, to look for these phrases. The more unique the keywords, when they are truly relevant to your website, the less competition you may encounter for those keywords.

Don't try to "fool" the search engines. There are a lot of search-engine "no-no's" that could get you banned. One less obvious trap is to be linked to a site that has been censured in the past, so keep your own act as clean as possible and keep an eye on what your link exchange partners are doing, too. Avoid throwing in irrelevant keywords just to increase traffic, or hiding search terms through their hidden placement on a page or lack of color contrast, etc. Search engine formulas have been designed to reward well-designed sites that have grown gradually and steadily, using relevant keywords that garner legitimate traffic. Anything less may not be acceptable for true search engine optimization.
