Better start with what SEO is, this stands for Search Engine Optimization. This is the act of optimizing your site to achieve the best results for your website in the search engines.

2. Title Tag
The title of the page, this is what will be displayed on search engine result pages so make sure you put keywords in here.

6. Keyword Density
