Karan Singhal of SEOmoz.org has been in that situation. So in a guest column at socialmedia.biz, she has compiled 25 tips to skyrocket yoru serach engine rankings.

Here are just a few of the 25 tips:

Tip # 1: Think about what you’re offering. What is the visitor going to take away from your website? Do you want them to read your blog? Buy a product? Whatever it is, make it your prime focus and don’t veer from it.

Tip # 5 Your page titles shouldn’t focus on users. What they should be doing is delivering your primary keywords to the search engines. Of course, the titles need to make sense, focus on pulling in readers with your post titles.

Tip #8: Use keyword-rich URLs. If you can work one or two of your keywords into your page name, the better it will be for your rankings. Obviously, your company name counts as a keyword, but can you work in another keyword into the URL?
