website seo and other tips?

[Iced SEO]

Load time: Do not use flash templates and BMP images, stick with JPG and GIF. Also don't use heavily loaded template.

2: SEO: I will suggest you buy some SEO videos and learn from or contact an SEO firm like Iced SEO at http://icedseo.com, also use Market Samurai to do a very good keyword research.

3: Design, just go to fiverr or elance and you will hire a good designer very cheap, just keep your budget low and let them know of your price expectations and you will be suprised how many of them will be rushing to take it that cheap

4: To improve your pagerank in search engines, you need 2 things which are content and backlinks. Google algorithm considers content (onpage seo) for 30% of your ranking efforts and backlinks (offpage seo) for 70% of your ranking efforts, so you need to get backlinks that are dofollow and also high quality. Some good backlink software for SEO include: Xrumer, Scrapebox, xGenSEO, SENuke, Autopligg, Bookmarking Demon and some more..
