Any hint about the secret?

Yeah, I'd like to take you up on the offer of free advice actually if you wouldnt mind.

All my recent website hostings have passed W3C AAA accessibility checks and validity checks, I always try to start with the text basic markup like heading tags and arrange my layout around that, so the text is as close to the top of the page as possible.

To cut it short so I dont have to list absolutely everything I know about Search Engine Optimization in case you suggest it, I do my best with basic SEO using the knowledge that I acquire. However I can never claim to my clients that I am an SEO expert because Im just not.

I do explain to them that I have made the website hosting in such a way that it has good scope and I also try to work with them when creating the text content for the pages, looking at things like keyword density etc. But I have to tell them that if they need an expert Search Engine Optimization package then Im not the man.

So (if possible) any tips on how I can set my website hostings up so that someone else can take over the Search Engine Optimization in the future if my clients need it?

Aside from that, gimme your top ten Search Engine Optimization tips!

All a good Search Engine Optimization needs is to be well written around web standards, and the keyword densities to be right

top 10 free tips!

10. RSS feeds - great to help build links - but only publish content you dont mind getting scraped
9. robots.txt - let the spiders know what you dont want them to view
8. sitemaps - html for the user, xml for the spiders- reference in the robots.txt
7. keyword densities - i could write a lot on this - each Search Engine Optimization has his own beliefs but i have just had a website hosting i created jump up 300 places in the listings.
6. Quality Content
5. Design over rankings - if it does not rank, you will not get traffic, unless you pay for it - trust the Search Engine Optimization's advice!
4. Javascript - reliance on it - make a website hosting work without to much
3. Good Natural linking strategy
2. proper website hosting navigation
1. Flash Navigation - No No No No No - dont care if it looks pretty, its the biggest problem any Search Engine Optimization

those are 10 of the things that help rankings, I will on average fix 7-8 of them on every project i do!

Sound, there’s some good advice there. I have one website hosting, which was made for a small business, maybe you could offer some advice?

The website hosting itself is static, by this I mean that the content is never updated, I get many people asking for small website hostings like this who just want the website hosting to give a description of the company and its services, plus maybe act as a point of contact for the customers.

I sat down with the client and explained about how the text content could affect the search rankings and looked at the keyword density of the homepage and various other pages. After the last 6 months or so and with some tweaking of the content, the website hostings homepage has been sat firmly on the third page of Google for our chosen keyword ("On Hold Marketing").

From the few things I’ve picked up about Search Engine Optimization I gather that quality incoming links are probably the best thing to improve our rankings, so we have tried to get links in as many relevant places as possible. Including writing helpful blog and forum posts with a link in the signature. Wherever possible I’ve tried to make sure the client uses the links I put together, and only links on quality and relevant website hostings.

Is there anything you can recommend to help bump the website hosting up a few places in the rankings?

I thought of maybe adding more (well written) text to the pages, but I’m scared to edit the text content any further in case it has a negative effect. Interestingly, when I checked today the website hosting is now half way up page 2 for some reason!

I'm not an Search Engine Optimization expert, but I've got a couple of tips that I've learned from over at Webmaster-Talk, where I'm a regular member and a moderator:

1) Quality content is quite probably the most important thing in Search Engine Optimization - your website hosting has to be unique, with no rubbish automated content that people seem to buy so much of. Provide something useful and interesting that people will recommend on their own web website hostings.

2) Forget blackhat Search Engine Optimization AND link exchanges! Link exchanges aren't worth their space on the page - unless they provide something useful for your visitors, then they make your website hosting look rubbish and Google is very advanced - it knows who is linking to who. Focus time on writing and maintaing your website hosting, not wasting time in link exchange forums!

3) Ignore Google PageRank - Google uses over 100 methods to rank its website hostings, and PageRank is only one of the 100+. Too many people focus on PageRank, but there are numerous other factors involved.

1) I wouldnt say that - If your website hostings navigation is made from one of the troublesome methods i mentioned above, no matter how much quality original content you have made, it wont get spidered and may as well not be there

2) Link exhanges - Agreed - Black hat is good for research - but dont expect your website hostings to last long in the index

3) Page Rank is an indication of one factor! google uses around 300 methods to rank a website hosting, around 100 are known! Any proper Search Engine Optimization will use pagerank as a rough guide only, mainly looking at website hostings which link to you and your competition
