Today I have decided to put together a little search engine optimization tutorial for you. Please keep in mind that there are well over 200 SEO factors that Google uses to rank pages in the Google search results. So, now you ask, what are the search engine optimization rules? I believe that there are many educated guesses by SEO webmasters on many of the top forums. If you would like to achieve a high ranking, I have taken the top 5 positive and negative confirmed Google Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Rules.

Top 5 Positive Rules (things to do)

1. Have your main target keyword in the URL

2. Have your main target keyword in your domain name

3. Have your main target keyword in your title tag

4. Have your main target keyword in H1, H2, and H3

5. Freshness of content, freshness of pages, amount of content change, and freshness of links to high-trust sites

Top 5 Negative Rules (things to avoid)

1. Do not have text presented in graphics form only with no actual body text on the page.

2. Avoid building a cookie cutter affiliate site with massive inter-linking ad little actual on page content.

3. Avoid keyword stuffing and meta-tag stuffing.

4. Do not link to bad neighborhoods (Google hates link farms and Free For All’s)

5. Don’t immediately send your visitor to another page other than the one he/ she clicked on, using meta refresh.

Whether you like it or not, Google has a lot to do with what happens to the websites that you spend so much time on. There are things that they love, and there are things that will force them to rest in the big old online graveyard. Try to incorporate these ideas into your next project, and you will be on your way to making it into the good graces of Google!
