This is a very important step for a new site, because this is probably how search
Engines will first find you.
2. Reciprocal links (link exchanges)
3. Submitting articles to article directories –
4. Link baiting is one of the most powerful methods of online promotion, but this should be used only when your site is a little bit older and stable.

Helpful Tips for Writing the Title Tag

1. Title Tag gives the summary of the content appearing on the page.

2. Insert title tag just below the head tag.

3. TITLE tag should be between 5 and 12 words

4. Goggle usually reads about 90 characters of your Title Tag.

5. Google and MSN listed up to 70 characters including space while Yahoo listed up to 120 characters including space and the extra words swabed out.

6. Title with 120 or more characters is not good for a topic.

7. My recommendation is that you should limit your title characters to 60 (up to 12 words) including spaces.

8. Do not fill the title with your keywords!

9. Do not repeat your keywords more than twice!

10. A site with keywords repeated more than 3 times in title tag may not see anywhere in the major search engines.

11. If your title characters below 60 characters (below 12 words) and the keyword density between 25% and 35% your site will get more chance to rank better.

12. ((Total keywords*100)/(total words/total words in your keyword phrase) = your keyword density). For example if your title is: "Visit Munnar and Enjoy Its Scenic Beauty" and your keyword phrase is "Visit Munnar" then your keyword density is 28.5%.

13. You could put the product or service you are offering, in the Title Tag, instead of your firm or company's name.
