Listing links on the top or bottom of every last page is a common practice. These links are called site-wide links. Make your visitors focus on a specific page of your site. This can be the page on which you advertise your product or the page on which the customer can make a purchase. Help your visitors find what they are looking for by organizing your site-wide links into a menu. Organize the menu for easy navigation and use clear names which describe the pages well.

Be sure to pay attention to the meta tags as you code your site. These tags are not accessible to visitors of your site, but search engine spiders locate and use them to access your site and to gain vital information about your website and its contents. Make sure the meta tags accurately describe your site as they are the most important ones. Even though meta tags are proven to be very effective, it is essential that you do not use them too much. Try using alternative tags instead. Spend time researching keywords to see which ones will best help you attract visitors.

The "H" is talking about HTML tags which denote text that is more or less important. The most important writing on your pages should be bolded with HTML tags.

It is essential to effectively use keywords in titles and sub-headings.
