In Search Engine Optimization (SEO), there are 2 methods that you can increase your volume and traffic of your website. They are the on-page optimization and off-page optimization. In the following, I will discuss in details how you can use On-Page Optimization.

On-Page Optimization.
Before your webpage is listed in search engines, search engines will send their spiders/crawlers to your website and get all data. The spiders will look for certain data from your webpage.

Title
Title is the most important part of your page. It is the attention grabber of your web page so have it done up good and you will get traffic when your web page is listed when users search in search engine. So how to optimize your web page title? Put the keyword you are targeting in your title!
Lets say I want to target the keyword, Search Engine Optimization. So I put my title as "Tips on Search Engine Optimization". So, my title is 60% optimized. How do I get the 60%? The formula are (keywords appearance / total words). And this will result in your Title Optimization. Of course, the best way is to put the whole keyword in. But if you feel it is alright, go ahead please.

URL
The URL also plays a part in SEO. Lets say if you are writing an article about SEO, and if your URL has "SEO" in it, it will give it some advantage against others.
Lets say, I am going to target SEO again. If my URL has "SEO" in it, it will obviously have advantage against the other websites that do not have "SEO" in it.

Description
In a webpage, there is a description tag that you can use it to describe about your webpage. It is like a summary for your webpage. And also, it is the first thing that search engine look into. When users search in search engines, the search page that the search engine display, will have the URL, Title, and the description of the webpage. So it is definitely have weightage on SEO.

Keywords
Keywords tag is the place where you tell the search engine which keywords you are targeting. But due to the fact that some affiliates are misusing them, some search engine will ignore or skip this tag. But it never hurts to include them. Lets say I put the following as the keywords, "SEO, SEO Tips, SEO Techniques", I will have 33.33% optimization on each keyword. The more keywords, the lower percent you will get.

Body
Body text is where your main content is. Try to use the keywords often. But do not abuse them. Remember. Do NOT abuse them. The formulae to calculate the optimization of your body text is slightly difficult and as follows. (Keywords used/total word count in text). If I use "Search Engine Optimization" in my body text for 5 times and my total words count is 1000, then my percentage for body is ( 3 * 5 / 1000) which is 1.5%.

The following 2 are seldom used. But of course, it does not hurt to include them.
Alt Tags
When you put a picture in your web page, you can also include an alternate tag to it. It is normally used when the user could not display the picture, then the browser will display the alternate tags. If possible, try to include the keyword in the alt tags.

Link Tags
This is the words that you used to link to others. The words that you anchored to hyperlink to other website may also count into the SEO. So you might want to find some websites that are related to your website and link them up. Do a link exchange.
