Back in the early days of search engine optimization (SEO), ranking each website given in the search engine is very dependent on factors optimization in place. These factors include, first and foremost, meta tags and header tags, keyword density, and so forth.

Keep in mind that search engines will only display a certain length of the title, so try to keep your titles to seven words or less.

Best practice to insert a key word in this tag, in order of most importance to the interests of the lowest - separated by commas. There is debate about how many keywords you should or should not be used in this tag, but the best is still less than six separate keywords or phrases. More importantly, make sure that the contents of each page is to reflect the selected keywords (for example, try to use keywords in page content as well).

The last of the tags meta description tag. This tag is what is reflected in your tag to the search engine results (although some search engines mix and match this with other information). You should see this tag as an opportunity to lure visitors to your Web site, so try to make it as attractive as possible, and sprinkle your keywords throughout the copy if possible. The ideal length for this tag is 15 - 25 words.
