			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At our breakfast event on the 8 December 2009, Martin Jordan from <a title="Equator website" href="http://www.eqtr.com" target="_blank">Equator</a>, Glasgow offered his top ten do&#8217;s and don&#8217;ts for increasing your website&#8217;s ranking on Google and other search engines. This list is by no means comprehensive, as Martin points out, there are over a hundred things you can do to improve the Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) of your website. For some companies it would be recommended to hire an experienced agency like <a title="Equator website" href="http://eqtr.com" target="_blank">Equator</a> to do this for you.</p>
<ol>
<li>It&#8217;s better to point multiple URLs for your business at one website (eg. www.website.com, www.website.co.uk, www.website.net)</li>
<li>Use Flash with moderation</li>
<li>Use the browser’s title area to describe the page content</li>
<li>Avoid complex and numerical web addresses</li>
<li>Make the website navigation search engine friendly</li>
<li>Target your site at a specific market. Don&#8217;t be too general, eg. hotels, cars, clothes, etc.</li>
<li>Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) should be considered at every stage</li>
<li>Avoid SEO ‘tricks’ – Google will blacklist you</li>
<li>Use Google’s free online web <a title="Google webtools" href="https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=sitemaps&amp;passive=true&amp;nui=1&amp;continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fwebmasters%2Ftools%2F&amp;followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fwebmasters%2Ftools%2F&amp;hl=en" target="_blank">tools</a> to improve your site</li>
<li>Use Google’s free <a href="http://www.google.com/analytics/">analytics</a> for statistics and data</li>
</ol>
