Ten Reasons Google Hates Your Web Site
By Larry Westfall
If you are wondering why your web site is not ranked high in Google here are the most likely reasons: 1. Your title says "Home" instead of the actual title of your site.
2. You don't have any meta tags for keywords or description.
3. Your domain name has nothing to do with your site.
4. You haven't updated your site in ages.
5. You have a fancy flash intro page that can't be read by any search engine.
6. You don't focus on one keyword or phrase.
7. You have not done any work getting links back to your site.
8, If you do use keywords throughout your post, you don't bold, italicize, or underline any of them.
9. You fail to use H1, H2, and H3 tags in your posts.
10. You don't add your keyword to the image alt tag. Correcting the above mistakes will help you get listed and ranked higher in the search engines. Add your keywords to the title of your web site. Ensure that the meta tags are filled out properly. Make sure that your domain name is related to what your site is about and that you post to it regularly with original content. Search engines cannot read flash video intros on pages. Lose them. Take time to visit other blogs that are related to yours and post relevant comments with a link back to your site and your keyword as your name. Your keyword or phrase should be approximately 1% - 3% of your post and underlined, italicized and made bold once. You should also have your keyword in the first and last sentence of your post. Use the paragraph tags on sentences or paragraphs that contain your keyword. And, lastly, use the alt tag to put your keyword with your photos/images. Search engines cannot read images only. There is more that your can do to optimize your web site and get it ranked higher, but these should give you a sstart.

You have given us some valuable information here Larry and it's much appreciated. I have bookmarked it so I can refer to it when I need to. Can you explain to me what H1, H2 and H3 tags are?
Thanks again.

CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
In HTML, H tags are Heading tags. If you use the H1 tag it will make the text larger and indicate that this is an important heading. H2 is less important and so on down to H6. We are only concerned with H1-2-3.
So, you might want to use the H1 tag for the first phrase or title of your writing (include your keyword) and then an H2 tag as a sub-topic.
