4 Keys to Make Money with Search Engine Optimization

Search engine optimization plays a critical role when it comes to online business. After all, one of the main objectives of a website owner is to get indexed by search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. There are millions of people who surf through them, looking for various kinds of information and shopping for great items.
So how do you make your website friendly to search engines? Here are 4 keys to make money with search engine optimization:
1. Use bold tags. When you change the font style of your keyword to bold, it means you're giving emphasis to it and that it's highly relevant to your articles. However, too much of something is bad. If you abuse this technique, you will then be viewed as spammer. To prevent it, bold the keyword only once.
2. Submit your newsletters to ezine publishers. There are hundreds of ezine publishers that keep archives of their ezines. You can submit yours so that your links will remain active even for several years. This way, you will also have active inbound links to your various web pages.
3. Avoid keyword stuffing. All too often, people are so conscious of keyword densities that they end up stuffing too many keywords in an article. Besides rendering them incomprehensible, they are frowned upon by search engines. You will probably end getting a penalty from them or, worse, banned from search engines, which means your pages won't become searchable.
4. Avoid linking to link farms. Link farms are not friendly to search engines. This is because their links are often not totally relevant to the overall theme of the website. It's better to settle for 50 or less well-established and relevant links. To avoid ending as link farms as well, scatter your links to different web pages, not just to your homepage.
