Not every one is familiar with the term SEO. Here is one simple non-technical definition.
Simply put, it stands for Search Engine Optimization. It involves choosing the most productive key words and phrases that will most benefit a web sites traffic by increasing search engine ratings.
Key words are those most frequently entered by persons looking for information by use of a search engine. We know what search engines are because there is search entry boxes everywhere we go online and even on our Internet browsers. Looking for something? Enter its key words into the search box and click on the search button. The results you get is a list starting with number one the highest rated and the most probable to be picked. Additional member SEO discussion is welcomed.

SEO is more than just knowing which keywords to use, but also where and how often to include them in the content of the page you are writing.

As a general rule of thumb, I include the main keyword/phrase in the tags for the title, description, and keywords of the page.

On the page itself, I start by putting the main phrase in the headline and first sentence. I include it in at least one text link and then sprinkle it liberally along with related words throughout the content about every 75 words or so.

Fortunately for me, the program that I use to build my sites has a marvelous little tool called AnazlyzeIt that checks my page for me before I build it. It tells me if I've left out the keyword in a crucial place and if I've used it too many times or not enough times. This saves me a lot of hassle.

I know if I pass the AnalyzeIt test, my page will be pleasing to the search engines for that particular search term and I can rest easy in my mind without having to constantly try to manipulate the page to get better rankings.

That leaves me more time and energy to work on building and adding fresh content to my sites.

Blessings,
Angie

thanks Angie, for this good information

You're very welcome!

The keywords you use on your webpage (title, description, keywords, body text) is only half the story... maybe even LESS than half the story!

Don't forget that OFFSITE SEO is just as important, if not MORE SO than ONSITE SEO.

Offsite SEO invloves the keywords that are used to link TO your webpage FROM other sites.

Let's say you write an article about "hairless cats" and submit it to an Article Directory. In your Author's Bio at the bottom of the article you link back to your own webpage on Hairless Cats which has lots of loverly on-site SEO done.

e.g. For more information on hairless cats visit my-website-DOT-com

If you use the words "Hairless Cats" as the anchor text for the link to your site it carries more weight with the search engines than if you link the words "More Information". Why? The link directly relates (and preferable matches exactly) your carefully SEO'd webpage title.

Getting backlinks from authority sites in your niche, where the linking text contains the keyword you have optimized your webpage for is worth it's weight in gold!

Still don't believe this is important? OK, go to Google and search for "Click Here"

#1 result out of 1.5 Billion pages is the download page for Adobe Acrobat.

Click through to the page and count the number of times the words "Click Here" appear in the Title, Description, Keywords or body text.....

You should find exactly NONE!

The reason that this pages ranks #1 for "Click Here" is that webpages all across the internet link to that page using the anchor text "Click Here" instead of the anchor text "Download Acrobat".

OFFSITE SEO is so important it's scary that so few people know about it.

Implement it today!
