Do you know what SEO is? If you have never heard of search engine optimization, then you probably do not have interest in internet marketing. But if you have an online business then you know that your internet income depends on where your website ranks on the search engine results pages.

There are many steps you can take to reach the top of the search pages. You can of course hire a company to optimize your website. But that will cost a lot of money; if you have money to spend though, this could be a good investment. If not, you can try to optimize your pages on your own for a fraction of the cost.

You can download software, for a price, that will help you check your website keyword saturation. You should not flood your website with keywords. The software will alert you if your website has too many keywords on one page.

Many years ago, website owners jammed their websites with keywords because the search engines would reward top spots to websites with the most keywords. But that is no longer the case. If fact, if you simply load your pages with keywords, the search engines will penalize your site and list it at the bottom of the search results. You do not want this to happen.

This is because websites on the top of the rankings were simply full of keywords and made for difficult reading. So the search engines changed their criteria for ranking. The search engines were coming under criticism for allowing keyword saturated websites to be at the top of the rankings.

If you plan to do your own SEO, do not over load your website with keywords. You need to choose them carefully and also place them in strategic places in your website text.
