Overview
   Banish the twins
   It’s all in your <head>
   Stuffing: not just for Thanksgiving
   A great body will make you more attractive
    (to Google, anyway)
   Anchors: a way (to rank better, of course)
Banish the twins
   Twin subdomains are more common than
    you think:
       myspiffysite.com
       www.myspiffysite.com
       http://www.aboutus.org/Multiple_Subdomains:_Classic_SEO_Mistake

   Twin homepages too:
       www.myspiffysite.com/
       www.myspiffysite.com/index.html
       http://www.aboutus.org/Twin_Home_Pages:_Classic_SEO_Mistake
It’s all in your <head>
   Page title
   Meta description
   Meta keywords
   Rel=canonical
   Meet OG
Stuffing: not just for Thanksgiving
   The H1 debate
   Sprinkle keywords throughout the body like
    it’s salt
       Too much gets you penalized!
   ALT text on images
       Linked vs. not linked
   TITLE on links
A great body
   Googlebot says:
       “I loves me some rich content!”
   Skydiving as a career option
Anchors: a way
   Example:
       Kent is wearing lacy underwear.
   The HTML for that:

   Linked images: anchor text is the ALT text


   Internal links vs. links from other sites
