My top 10 tips and tricks for building a search engine optimized website from the ground up. I guess you might call this series a view inside the mind of an obsessed Web Maestro and Search Engine Optimizician.

You will also be able to use this valuable information to help the SERPs of sites that are already up and running.

Over the next few weeks iI will be explaining in detail the individual topics in this list. This list isn’t in order of importance it is in the chronological order of my methodology.

Not only will I be giving you the details of my processes, I will also be giving you insight into the SEO tools I use for research and development of the sites I create and optimize.

When I am working with a client here are the categories for the first steps I take in building a search engine friendly site that has been SEO’d.

1. Keyword Research
2. Keyword Selection
3. Theme Selection
4. URL Selection
5. Site Architecture
6. Text Structure (outline)
7. Meta Descriptions and Title Tags
8. Submitting to Search Engines (or not)
9. Submitting to Directories (free and paid)
10. Meta Keywords

SEO is not a one time thing that you do and forget. It is a process that needs to be continually checked and updated. These top ten tips and tricks are considered to be a good foundation for the SEO process.

When this series is complete it will be available in PDF format for download at my newly launched Search Engine Optimization site SEO Portland.
