Years ago, when I first started doing SEO work, I remember being frustrated by thousands of articles which offered little to no information on how to optimize a web site. Since that time, I have learned a lot through trial and error. I hope the following guide will be of help to others.
1. Find a Domain Name
If you do not already have a domain name, find a short phrase that describes what you do, sell, etc. For instance if you sell minerals you might consider the domain name “themineralguy”. Having the word mineral in your domain name will immediately tell search engines that “mineral” is a relevant word for your web site.
