What is Advanced Web Page Optimization and how do I do it?
There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes in website optimization. Advanced Web Page Optimization includes taking a really close look at your market, choosing the right words to highlight on each individual page and the competition each of those face on the web at large.
Keyword in the 1st paragraph
A pretty basic rule of thumb for the web and writing articles of all types is to contain a keyword or the main topic of what you’re writing about in the first paragraph. This may sound like a no brainer, but you’d be surprised how often this simple thing is overlooked.
KEYWORD DENSITY
In the past, scammers were “keyword stuffing” pages by copying and pasting the keyword/phrase over and over in the page to boost their rankings and get more traffic. The problem was they didn’t have relevant content and were just trying to pass visitors through to other site with relevant content so they could gain affiliate paychecks. Search engines responded by penalizing web pages that have a too high percentage of keyword/phrases to words of content. If you just write naturally, the probability of being docked for keyword stuffing is very minimal.

Part of optimizing your web pages is making sure the content you’re delivering is easy to understand. The more technical the topic, the harder this will be. Although your audience might be all very scholarly people, the fact that your information is on the web at large means that a large cross-section of people are going to be seeing it, especially if all goes well with your optimization strategies. So you want to make sure that your text is all done in plain-spoken language wherever possible, layman’s terms if you will. Of course there will always be times when you will have to explain a difficult concept, but do your best to explain it so that anyone reading will understand.
Whenever possible
use text
formatted with CSS
(cascade style sheets).
IMAGES
Believe it or not, search engines actually like to see some images in web page content. In addition to having images, having images with meta-tags that describe what they are is what search engines love best. This includes things like title tags, alt tags, descriptive source file names, etc.
