In a previous article we gave some seo tips on how social media can be used to help boost your organic keyword rankings.

Here we deal with the top 10 on page tips for implementing your seo project. Now I know that off-page seo is overall more important but it is difficult and takes a long time to implement.

You can get good results for medium competitive keywords using on-page seo.

Here is my list of the top 10 on-page factors you should optimise for.

On-Page Seo Checklist of Tasks to Do:

1. Place your keyword in the landing page URL. Remember the closer the keyword is to the beginning the better
2. Use the keyword in the domain name. Each word should be separated by a hyphen
3. Use keywords in the Title Tag which should not exceed 60 characters. The closer to the beginning the better.
4. Use keywords in the body text. Do not exceed a density of 5% (keywords as % of total word count).
5. Use keywords with header fonts, H1, H2, H3 etc. H1 is best.
6. Keyord Proximity: (For 2 or more keywords in search phrase). Should be as close as possible.
7. Keyword Prominence. Keywords should be as close as possible to the top of a page. Bold and large fonts are best.
8. Internal Link Anchor Text. Use keywords in these links. Separate keywords with hyphens – not more than 3.
9. Site map. Create a site map with keywords in the descriptions around each link.
10. Outgoing Links: Use keywords in anchor text in and around these links.
