It isn't easy getting the on-page optimization for your website just right. In fact, most people don't know just how difficult it really is. If you are looking to get your website on-page optimized, just follow these tips for the best results.

The first thing to look at is whether or not your content is readable. It is possible to get on page optimised content and have good readability at the same time, but it's going to be a bit more difficult. You are going to have to work a bit to get this just right - that is to have the correct number of keywords, the correct distance and placement of your keywords and end up with a page that people are actually going to read. It doesn't do a lot of good if your site is optimised but is filled with so much rubbish that no one ever reads it.

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.

Now that you know what your page descriptions are going to say, you are going to want to work on your meta tags. A meta tag gives people information about your website, including who wrote the page, when it was last updated and some of the keywords that you have selected. Meta tags are becoming less and less important, because a lot of web owners just loaded them up with keywords and the search engines didn't know how to rank a page with so many different keywords. Like page descriptions, you really want a different meta tag for each different web page. Meta tags can be up to 30 words each, which is a bit longer than page descriptions.

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.

When trying to determine how to get your website to the top of the search engine results page, you are going to want to remember to keep on-page optimization in mind. This is a really difficult thing to do by yourself. So, if you aren't certain of what you are doing, hire an SEO firm to work on your website to get stellar results. - 15634
