When you have the same link on each of your website pages, it is called a site wide link. Often, these links are placed at the bottom of a site's page. Site wide links are useful for helping people navigate to pages you want them to see, like order pages or sales pitches. They will be able to see the site-wide links at the bottom. Alternatively, you can also place your site-wide links in a navigation menu that resides in a sidebar that is either to the left or right of your main content. A description of every page listed in the menu should be included and structured in a logical way.



The information contained in the meta tags is critical to your website; therefore, you should ensure that they are free from error. Site visitors will not be able to see these tags, but search engines will. These invisible tags let search engines know important information about your site and its content. The first tags you add should be the most relevant ones to describe your website. You should not overuse meta tags, but they do help. Try looking for which keywords will work the best to attract new visitors.



You should make the most of an H tag. When writing HTML, use H tags to mark the importance of a block of text. Text tagged with an h1 tag will appear in large, bold letters. The h2 and h3 tags can be used for titles on subsections of your website, whereas this tag should be only for the main title of your site. This will help your visitors to read your page more easily and the search engine spiders to find the important content on each page.



Look for new ways to promote your products online. You need to be sure to explore the many types of techniques that have been proven successful in marketing and SEO.

It's hard to predict what will go viral, but by focusing on clever, current content, you increase the likelihood that it will be seen and shared. Watch viral videos and learn more about internet culture, and perhaps you will be able to identify certain characteristics that seem to appeal to internet users.



These tips are only a small handful of the ones that exist, but using these will be good for when you are just starting your Internet marketing campaign. Once you have the basics down you can then seek out more sophisticated strategies.
