When it comes to SEO then there are seven html elements that are very important to search engines. If you are new to html and don’t know what it looks like then just write click on a web page and choose “view source”. Here we will be discussing the seven important html elements:
Title tag
The title tag is probably the most important html element on your web page and counts a lot when it comes to your rankings. It looks like this:
<title>This is your title</title>

Search Engine Marketing is all about exposure. The more exposure you can get, the more people know about you, and potentially the more sales you make. In the Internet dimension back linking plays a major role in obtaining exposure.
There are various back linking strategies available and depending how you approach each of them could determine the overall outcome. My personal approach would be to do thorough keyword research to increase search engine ranking, but also keep in mind that the links I am building can send me significant traffic regardless of the fact whether I would rank in Google or not.

You may have come across the discussion where people are talking about manipulating the page rank in their site. Well, maybe this is the first time you hear about it. It is not a new term in the online world anymore but is still an very effective way of telling Google which pages on your site should get more attention and will definitely help you in your rankings as well.
How does page rank work
PageRank uses the Internet’s link structure as an indication of each Web page’s relevancy value.
To give you an example of how page rank work within a site: Imagine, you build a pyramid of buckets and all the buckets in the pyramid have little holes in it. Now if you keep filling the buckets with water then the water will flow through the pyramid to the other buckets, which means that there is less water in the main bucket. Now, imagine the buckets are the pages within your site (including the pages where all your links point to as well), the holes are the links and the page rank is the water.

While you can hire search engine consultants to do all of this for you, personally I think it is more fun to do it yourself.
