Webceo is a powerful seo and website optimization desktop tool that gives you an indepth look at what Search Engines expect to see on webpages and and reports how your site will do in the engines. It looks at not only your meta tags: title, description, keywords - but at other factors as well; such your content  relative to the key words you are targeting, and the placement of your title and alt tags. Webceo does look at a number of factors that other search engine analyzers do not, and one of them is whether or not you have content containing your targeted key words with the last 150 words on your webpage. Another is whether your title tag is placed at the top of your website just below the <header>.

This online seo and website optimization tool checks your website and reports on how search engine friendly it is. It looks at a number of webpage elements starting with your meta tags:

It analyzes the length of your tags, and shows you keyword density relative to the content on your web page. Many time people overlook the Author of a website yet that can be useful when establishing a Company or individual presence on the Internet.

It also analyzes your links with emphasis on the number of links you have on your page. 100 is the maximum allowed for search engine friendly webpages.

One of my favorite tools of Webcentro is this Page Keyword Analyzer. This tool shows you if your Is your page optimized for the right keywords! This seo tool analyzes five elements:

The goal is to hit 100% in all five catagories. I found that a lot of scripts, and when using a website publishing tools like WebPageMaker, H1 tags are not automatically created for your sites. The following is the code you want to place between the <head> and end of <body> tag:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">

H1 {font-family: Verdana,Arial,Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: black}

</STYLE>

<h1>Xtream traffic exchange network auto surf traffic and manual surf traffic exchanges</h1>

To center the tag simply add <center> at the beginning and end of the tag.

<center><STYLE TYPE="text/css">

H1 {font-family: Verdana,Arial,Times New Roman; font-size: 12pt; color: black}

</STYLE>

<h1>Your title with keywords</h1><center>

Some scripts do not configure your meta tags properly either, so you may have to manually insert meta tags as well. A title tag would look like:

<title>Xtream traffic exchange network auto surf traffic manual surf traffic exchanges</title>

<meta name="author" content="You or Your Company">

<meta name="description" content="Description of your website. Include targeted keywords here in complete sentences. ">

<meta name="keywords" content="targeted keywords, seperated, by, commas,">

<meta name="rating" content="General">

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="ALL"

<meta name="Robots" content="index,follow">

<meta name="revisit-after" content="14 days">

<meta name="distribution" content="Global">

First goal is to anaylize your website and then optimize it relative to the Title, H! tag, description, and keywords. For most, we have to live with whatever domaiin we already have. It is good to keep in the back of your mind that Search Engines do rate your domain relative to your chosen keyword you are targeting for the next time you are domain shopping.

After you have adjusted your tags and content. There are other factors to consider. One is Linking and links to and from your website. Another is something called Page Rank or PR. We will look at both topics in future sessions.

Things that seem to HELP your websites...

I learned this stuff from searching the web and reading articles, playing with WebCEO, Listening to Cherie...duplicating what she did on the Xtream Members site pages and using the Google tools and the SEO Centro site and others (my C-panel for example).

       <meta name="msnbot" content="index,follow,all">        (This is the MSN Spyder)

       <meta name="slurp" content="index,follow,all">            (This is the Yahoo spyder)

Have keywords in the Title. Near the beginning. Title should be short, 7 to 10 words. This is one of the most important places to have a keyword because what is written inside the <title> tag shows in search results as your page title.

Keywords: +1 - Less than 20 words and use words that are in the content.

Description: +1 - Remove the "stop words" if possible. Keep the Description relitive and 60 to 80 characters long.

Have keyword rich URLs and filenames. If not in the domain, have keywords in the URL sub link or filenames.

Keep the major keyword density from 3-7%. Minor keywords from 1-2%. Keyword density of over 10% is suspicious and looks more like keyword stuffing, than a naturally written text.

Have keywords in a text heading <h1>, <h2, <h3>. One more place where keywords seem to count a lot.

Add new content when possible. Adding new content is better than making small changes to exsisting content.

Check the site for errors . Sites or pages have broken links, 404 errors, password-protected areas or other similar issues, then the site simply can't be indexed.

The size of the site matters. Generally spiders love large sites so the bigger, the better.

Generally older sites have more respect and are more trustworthy. They have been around and are here to stay.

The theme is important because when it fits into one theme it boosts the rankings of all the pages that are related to the theme.
