What the heck. I've been studying SEO and trying to improve my skills lately (I used to do really well with Google but I haven't kept up with it since I started other projects and I decided to brush up some), so I'll share some of what I've learned. I hope it helps some people save some time so they don't have to research for weeks like I did just to get a grasp of the basics. LOL
Some beginner to intermediate SEO tips:
Always use the title tag on every single page you build. Use keywords related to the niche you're building the page for. You can use up to about 200 characters in the title tag, anything over that won't be read/displayed by most SEs. Be sure the title makes sense, because the title of your page will be what is displayed on the SERPs (search engine results pages). You might put "Big Tits on Hot Babes - Pictures of big tits, big nipples and hot babes." but don't put "big tits, big nipples, hot babes, sexy sluts, naked, whore, pussy" because surfers will think your site is nothing but a spam page even if it's not.
Put your most important keywords in the body of your site. DO NOT use splash pages if you want good SE placement unless your splash pages are plain HTML (NOT flash) and has alot of text as opposed to graphics. Graphic only splash pages are not good for SE placement. If you MUST have a splash page, make it your warning page and put lots of good SE text on it. Put your most important keywords at the top of the page. Most SE's think text at the top of the page is more important than text at the bottom of the page. You can also put your most important keywords in H1 tags near the top.
Use anchor links. Anchor links are text links that contain keywords. The lead to other pages on your site. If you have a site about big tits, you might want to have a page about each of these: big nipples, puffy nipples, brown nipples, pink nipples, natural tits, saggy tits, mature tits, bbw tits and fake tits. You would want to name each of those pages big-nipples.html, puffy-nipples.html, etc. and their titles would be "big tits" and "puffy nipples" etc. On your main page, you would link to big-nipples.html with the anchor text "big nipples". This will help the relevancy of your main page for the search "big nipples" as well as the big-nipples.html page itself. So when you link to other pages on your site, use anchor text, not "click here" or other irrelevant text.
When naming your site, include some of your most important keywords if possible, so when requesting links on other websites, they will link to you with your keywords. If you name your site "Big Tits on Hot Babes" then most people will link to you using that text and the SEs (Google, particularly) will see that as being what your site is most likely about, this improving your relevancy for that term. It may also help to register the domain big-tits-on-hot-babes.com or bigtitsonhotbabes.com, although SEOs seem to be divided on whether this actually helps or not and whether the dashes make a difference or not. One thing most SEOs agree on is that .biz or .ca or whatever currently has the same result as .com or .net or .org so if your first choice is taken in .com, you can try other extensions. Just be sure the name is not trademarked before you buy it.
Do not link to sites that appear to be banned in Google if you can help it. It has been said that Google and possibly other SEs will think if you're sleeping with dogs, then you too are a dog. If you're linking to sites that have been banned, it may think that you are a spammer or scammer, too. It is best to link to sites with a higher PR if possible. Obviously it is important to try to get higher PR sites to link to YOU, but be careful about who you link to as well. Check the google toolbar first. If the site PR bar is grey, the site may be banned. (Or it is too new to register.) Check the site by entering "site:
www.sitedomainname.com" in the Google search box. If the site does not show up, again, it may be banned or it may be too new. It's up to you to use your judgement to decide whether or not you feel comfortable linking to a site or not. But you should always keep an eye on any sites you link to, anyway. You don't want to send any of your visitors to a site that may be installing dialers or passing viruses. :)
When linking your own domains together, DO NOT put a link to every single domain you own on every other domain you own. Google's spider is smart and it will see that you're linking your sites together in a circle and it might ban you for trying to manipulate your listings. If you have 20 domains, put 4 or 5 sites on each domain, using different sites on each domain.
Google Image Search Bonus Tip:
When making free sites, galleries, SE pages, etc. always put alt tags in your images. (This will also give you more space for keywords for the optimization of the page or site for the general SERPs, too.) Name all of your images with keywords instead of 01.jpg. 02.jpg, etc. name them tight-pussy.jpg (alt tag would be "tight pussy") and big-nipples.jpg (alt tag would be "big nipples"). You can especially do this with the large images, putting all of the large images on HTML pages (for the TGPs and link lists that allow this) and name the HTML pages after the images as well. So big-nipples.jpg would have the alt text "big nipples" and be on big-nipples.html and the title of that page would be "big nipples" and you might also put "big nipples" in H1 tags at the top of that page.
