Onsite seo is related to everything that takes place on your actual website.

The most important factors as to my knowledge are your page

titles
meta description
meta keywords
internal linking
keywords density
usage of latent symentic indexing
sitemaps
robots.txt
alt tags for images

This along with strong offsite seo should help you rank very well in the search engines.

hope this helps

Sprank was too harsh regarding SEO.

Well SEO is one of the best and cost effective things which you can do with your business and gain lots & lots of popularity.

First step you should do is to look out for keywords using the following tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/Keywor…

Search for keywords and you will also find some similar words related to your keywords. Decide on keywords which are most related to your business and do the following activities:

Social Bookmarking – It means bookmarking your website on various Social Bookmarking websites like digg.com, delicious.com, jamespot.com, fanpop.com etc.

Question & Answers websites. Answers questions related to your business and get visitors to visit your website. There are many Q & A websites like Yahoo Answers, Blurtit.com, answerbag.com. yedda.com etc.

Above two will help you get referral traffic and some dofollow links from bookmarking websites will also help you in increasing website popularity.

Right – most article directories only allow links in the author’s resource box. If you’re just looking for the SEO benefit of the backlink just about anything in the resource box will do but if you’re looking for good click through rate with human visitors I’ve found that splitting the article into two parts with part one on the article site and part two on your site works well. Tips articles are good for this – put half your tips in the article then your resource box would link back to your site with something like “for 5 more tips on [keyword link] check out [url link]“.

It doesn’t really matter what keywords you use for subpages as long as your page is optimized for them and your content is a match.

As long as you build backlinks to your site and subpages, you’l be going in the right direction!

Hard question. But here’s what Search professionals do….

The one, best reference is to see if they are members of the largest most reputable group of Search professionals, SEMPO (the Search Engine Marketing Professionals Organization. Their directory of member companies is here: http://www.sempo.org/directories/ You can find one in your areas with that link. It’s not an endorsement but it’s very helpful.

What else can you do? Here are some RED flags – don’t work with any vendor that says they guarantee or promise the top spot or even the first page. Either they can’t deliver or they will get you rankings for keywords that don’t prove value, such as for your brand name.

SEO’s for small businesses are typically small businesses themselves, so get local references. Ask for five and call at least three. Remember that you don’t need just traffic, you need “quality” traffic and that’s what makes a good SEO. Ask the references if they get more SALES as a result.

As a fall-back, call your yellow page provider. All of them have an SEO program (AT&T, Yellow Book, Verizon etc.). They are reputable and have generally good results. You can also use Web.com, Yodle and Reach Local. They are national companies and have average results (see links below). They will also give you a good idea of what the right rates should be…

Good luck!

I was in the same situation for you where I needed to learn SEO for one of my websites and one of the most helpful ways I found was to just to on youtube and view the tutorials by someone of the experts and ordinary people like us, I learnt quite a few good tips.

Well, I run a small SEO company and there are two ways companies generally go about it. The first way, they hire a few people who specialize in particular areas. For instance, they would hire a keyword analyst, article writer, link-submitter, video marketer, social media-er etc. While other companies train SEO’s from A-Z, for every component involved. Keep in mind though, there is a stack of info out there and only so many brain cells per person
