SEO

Here's what you need to know about search engine optimization.

1. Google gives sites with original content highest ranking. Pages need to have a minimum of 200 words to be ranked.

2. Sites that have inbound links from highly ranked sites are scored well by google. So if you can get a popular site to link to your site, you'll get a higher ranking at google.

3. Sites with at least five pages of content, including a privacy page and contact page, will get higher ranking at google than sites that don't have that number of pages.

4. Sales pages and landing pages are always ranked lower than other pages.

5. Pages in shopping carts are always ranked lower than other pages.

6. Pages that have image content instead of text content are ranked lower.

7. Landing pages that lead to your site are usually ranked very low.

8. Using javascript to create menu links essentially blocks google's ability to follow those links.

9. Pages that use combination of words and phrases associated with spam sales pages are penalized.

10. .com, .net, .org pages will almost always rank higher than pages on .biz and other domain extensions.
