SEO Checklist - On-Page SEO
SEO Checklist
These days I’ve been playing around with optimizing my gadget review blog. Here is the on-page search engine optimization that I do and that actually works (weird huh?). I will also write what on-page mistakes I did in the past, so make sure you avoid doing them.
Positive:
- Using my keyword in title
- Using my keyword in URL (raduantohi.com/seo-checklist, if seo checklist is what I am targeting)
- Using my keyword in the beginning of the text.
- Using the keyword in bold (not sure if this helps tho)
- Using keyword in ALT (image title) tags
- Using keywords within content/page
- Using keywords in meta keyword tag
- Use sitemaps
Negative:
- Using lots of images
- Using flash
- Stuffing your content with your keyword, under 5% (yeah I removed 15%, was advised it’s way too too much) is good.
Things that aren’t important but people tend to gossip that they are
- Font used
- xHTML validation
- Using keyword in meta description tag
Presumably good things (didn’t test them)
- Using H1, H2 tags for your primary keyword
- Having a clean tableless CSS design
These are on-page seo factors that I have discovered so far. I will soon post my SEO checklist for the linking factors.

What about H1 tag? Many people believe its more important then b or strong tags

That’s a good list. I would also add keywords at the beginning AND at the end of the text. Some people admit that using UL tags to sort keyword sensitive info does help!
