Any business owner who tries to get a better on-page optimization for their website knows that it is no easy task. It is probably even going to be more difficult that you ever thought it could be. These tips are going to help you for finding the best on-page optimization for your website.

Before you change anything, look to make sure that people can actually read your content. Despite what many think, it is possible to have optimized content that is readable, but it is going to take some work. It is going to take some tweaking to get everything in the proper place, for example, you are going to have to pay close attention to having the right density of keywords and having those keywords in the right locations. It isn't going to benefit your company to have an optimized website that no one can read because it is just gibberish.

After you get the page content just right, you are going to want to turn your attention to the setup of the pages on your site. Meta tag and page descriptions are really important to have properly done, so if you don't know all about doing this, now is the time to review this and do it right the first time. Remember, you want to have one page description for each page, and it should be different for each page for the best results. It's not good enough to just have one page description for the entire website. Trust me, your page will get to the number one spot in the search engines quicker if you follow this advice. Keep your title tags brief. They should be about ten words, and they should all be easy to read. These are what web surfers see at the top of the page when they click on your website, so it should be a good description of the page. Don't make the big mistake of filling your page descriptions with keywords, because it isn't going to work.

After getting your page descriptions perfected, you are going to want to take a look at your meta tags. Meta tags are information about who wrote the page, when it was last updated or changed and some of the keywords. Because most website builders stuff their meta tags with key words, they are becoming less and less important to the search engine bots. Just like with page descriptions, try to write different meta tags for each page on your website. Unlike page descriptions, meta tags can be a bit longer, averaging around 30 words each.

The final tip for getting perfect on page optimisation is that you are going to want to keep everything up to date. Search engine bots love fresh information, and updating your page often is going to get your webpage up higher because it is going to be reviewed more often.

Doing on-page optimisation is really important if you are trying to get your websites to the top of the page. There are a lot of things that you have to do and think about. If you are unsure of anything, run it by an SEO consultant and see what he or she would recommend. - 16747
