Website Promotion Guide: The Art of SEO
You will hear people use this words SEO a lot when talking about website promotion. SEO stands for ‘Search Engine Optimisation’. SEO is the art or even call it science of customising certain elements on your website so as to achieve high search engine rankings.
Search engines are basically websites such as Google, Yahoo, MSN that people use to type in certain keywords so as to obtain desired results.

For instance, people type in ‘famous people from Kenya’ as a keyword in Google or Yahoo, when looking for people that are famous in Kenya. Many websites will then come up and the last time I checked, my website ‘http://www.my-kenya-guide.com ranks in the top 10 for that keyword in Google.
So that is how people use keywords to search in the search engines.
For you to be in the top 30 results for a given keyword on these search engines, especially the major ones like Google and Yahoo, you need to engage in search engine optimisation.
How To Optimise Your Website For Search Engines
Take a look at your meta data; This means the keywords, description, title of each page on your website.
You need to ensure that each of them contain your keywords.
Let me first digress and tell you about keywords. Keywords are everything. Really. If you don’t have the right keywords you are never going to be visible on the search engines.
Remember, people type in keywords when surfing online. They know what they want and they ask the search engines for it using keywords. You need to have competitive keywords
Let me use my other website as an example. My Kenya Guide is all about travel in Kenya. If I use ‘Kenya as a keyword on my website, I will never win, especially with big budget websites like Expedia.com and tripadvisor.com.
I had to chose keywords like ‘famous people in Kenya’ which had good demand and little website supplying it. Get it! The research that you do is very important and everything depends on it.
