Secret #1
Most people love to hear a secret or have something exposed to them. Use attention grabbing keywords words like "secret" or "exposed" in your Web site. Here are some other attention grabbing words.

Insider information! Revealed! Unveiled! Unconcealed!

These words call attention to "letting you in on something". People love to be let in on something, so offer some information that does so, and you'll reap a lot of interest and visitors to your site from these search engines.

Secret #2
Another thing that will help your listing come out ahead of your competition (even if you have the same exact keywords) is to begin the "title" of your site with an "A" or a number. Some search engines will alphabetize (by web page title) listings when there are multiple listings with equal relevancy. So a web site titled "Astounding Wines Sales" will have a better listing position than a Web site titled "Willy's Wines" when the same keywords are in use on both pages. Try to figure out a way to name your site starting with a number or the letter "A" and that will give you a that extra competitive edge that is hard to recognize by the average website owner.

Secret #3
Search engines are now taking a whole new approach to relevancy listings. The things that matter most today are keywords, descriptions and keyword phrasing. Many web pages use keywords, but most fail to phrase those keywords. Example: let's say you use these keywords:

ancient, buildings, architecture, Peruvian

This may look fine to you, but it is not good enough. Nowadays people are using the power of searching by phrase with the search engines. Assume someone searches for these keywords:

ancient buildings

If the searcher is searching on all the words, the above site using "antique, automobiles, cars, exotic" as keywords, would be listed because it does contain all the words. But if the searcher were to search by phrase, this site most likely would not be listed in the search results. To get around this, think about how you wish your page is to be found by a searcher. Think about how what keywords they would use. Then include these keywords and keyword phrases in your descriptions and keywords. Example:

ancient buildings architecture Peruvian

Note: Keyword phrases do not work with commas unless the search string included them. A lot of sites use commas. Don't do it unless you include all combinations of keyword phrases. If a searcher now uses the above keywords this site will have a better chance of being seen whether the searcher uses all the words, any of the words or even if they search by phrase. This same technique should be used when building your description too.

Secret #4
What do you do if you just can't get your keywords down to a reasonable amount (under 25)? Many search engines will not list the same site more than once or twice, particularly within the same category. To get around this constraint make more than one copy of your page. These copies (known as doorway or gateway pages) can have the exact same content but have different keywords. You could use "reptiles.html", "toads.shtml" and so on to name them. When you submit more than one copy of your pages, you have more than one listing in the search engines. This results in more people seeing your site, more opportunity to get hits to your page and more potential sales prospects. Be careful not to use names like "multimedia1.html", "multimedia2.html", "multimedia3.html" and so on. The search engines are beginning to consider this spamming.

Secret #5
DON'T submit a listing before your page is up - your listing will be rejected, and it will take you that much longer to get listed.

DON'T try to list in an inappropriate category - this will also cause your listing to be rejected. Don't jeopardize your chances of getting a listing by trying to get it in an inappropriate category.

DON'T have a confusing site name - your site name should briefly describe your site and what people will find there. If it's confusing no one will bother clicking on it.

DON'T use clever, made-up words. - no one will know to search for them.

DON'T use single characters for keywords. - single characters such as "B" or the number "1" are rejected as "stop" words and have no relevancy to what you're trying get across to potential customers.

Secret #6
Use keywords that can be even remotely associated to the content of your site. For example, we are in the business of website promotion with these webpages but we include keywords like: hints and tips, search design advice, search engine help, rank, strategy, techniques, hitlist ,increase website traffic Every time someone searches for hints, our site would then be in that list of results. You'll get more hits and this new audience just may be geared toward possibly using your service too.

Secret #7
Use your keywords or keyword phrases in your "alt" tags to your images especially if you use a logo at the top of your page. Many search engines scan only the first few hundred words in determining relevance of keywords. On our main page, we use the following HTML to display our logo :

<IMG width=576 height=77 SRC="images/sss_large.gif" alt="Affordable Web Site Promotion to Hundreds of Sites with Information, Hints, and Tips for Web Site Design, Ranking and Position">

Secret #8
Hide additional keywords or keyword phrases in comments and commented headings (<H2>,<H2>,etc.) in different combinations. Also position these near the the top of your page. Many search engines place a more emphasis in the words found in headings and titles in determining the relevance of keywords. On our main page, we use the following HTML to hide additional keywords or keyword phrases in headings:

<!--
<H2>website promotion and website promote to search engines and directories for only $10</H2>

Secret #9
Hide additional keywords or keyword phrases in hidden INPUT tags to forms in different combinations. Also position these near the the top of your page. On our main page, we use the following HTML to hide additional keywords or keyword phrases in INPUT tags:

<P><INPUT name=webbot0 value="affordable webpage promotion and affordable website promotion to search with search engine keywords and other information needed for webpage promotion and website promotion. This helps search engines concentrating on search engine results. It helps with results and position for the key search engines. Tips and hints and secrets are disclosed in recommendations. Rankings, strategy and techniques for hitlist increases for website traffic are ideal for getting more visitors." TYPE=hidden></P>

Secret #10
Hide additional keywords or keyword phrases in plain view at the bottom of the page but hidden from human eyes. By defining the text color the same as the background color, you can hide the words from your customers but yet they are still visible to the search engines. Be careful with this, though. Most search engines are now considering this to be spamming. We do this here by using the following HTML:

<P><FONT size="-2">That text immediately follows here:<FONT COLOR="#b9d3ee"< submit url, submit webpage, free listing, top, search engines, infoseek, webcrawler, excite, yahoo, alta vista, website, promote, promotion, advertising, links, reciprocal, submission, web promote</FONT></FONT>

To see this in action, click your left mouse button and hold it and move it over the next paragraph. You will see the hidden text highlighted.

That text immediately follows here: submit url, submit webpage, free listing, top, search engines, infoseek, webcrawler, excite, yahoo, alta vista, website, promote, promotion, advertising, links, reciprocal, submission, web promote
