SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY TITLE
TAGS
15
Unique Each page must have a unique title tag
Keyword It is important the title tag of each page holds the
main keywords for that page (as seen in the Coconut
Shack example above). Experts also recommend
placing important keywords at the beginning of the
title
Readabilit
y
Aim for meaningful page titles and avoid making title
tags that are simply a long list of keywords. Favour
Coconut Shack | Backpackers accommodation in
Broome over Backpackers, cheap, accommodation,
Broome, hostel, budget
Length Search engines will only display the first 65
characters of the title tag. If you require more
characters because of your keywords you may go
over 65 characters. However, be aware that only the
initial 65 will display in search engine results

SEARCH ENGINE FRIENDLY URLS
18
Readability Which of the below URL is nicer for your customer to
see, and could in turn affect the number of clicks the
website gets?
www.tours.com.au/Id=227#4302&countryId=445#984
or
www.tours.com.au/china/great-wall
Keywords get bolded in search engine results: if
someone searched for “tours great wall of china” the
above URL would become:
www.tours.com.au/china/great-walland attract the
eye of the web searcher.
Used as links URLs are often used as links by other users. Keeping the
structure simple and keyword-rich will encourage clicks
on the URL
Length Shorter is best
Separate
words
Use a hyphen to separate words (not underscore or
space)
www.tours.com.au/china/great-wall instead of
www.tours.com.au/great_wall and instead of

Visibility – Partner Links
The number of quality “back links” or “in links” to your site is crucial to getting a good search engine score.
Think about your existing partners – do they link to your site?
Think about potential partners with whom you could share reciprocal links.
However consider your „brand‟ when you establish mutual links. Does your partner appeal to your target audience?
