Some points on website SEO (search engine optimisation):
  • Your website pages should have “a proper word names” and text links from one page to another and search engines will better index your website
  • Different page content should have titles and subtitles, you can use different keywords that essentially mean the same so you get more word hits by search engine
  • Content should be unique, educational
  • Never copy paste from another website as it will only give other website better ranking
  • Optimise use of images, give titles and alt titles to images, use common file types like jpg, png etc.
