I appreciate your posting these tips.  Do you know if template sites can be optimized in this way or do I need to bust out and have one built?

great post. I see so many people that don't title their pages correctly either. instead of "home" or "page2" it should be something like "kansas city real estate"

I've  been working diligently on SEO. When you say "Use your keywords in the internal text links on your websites because this can also help to increase your ranking on search engines", you do mean the keywords on the links that point back to the site. Right?

Yes - The Link text - use your keywords as the link back to say for example: Web Strategy Expert

(google those keywords and see what happens)

You can see Chad Zogleman has done it in the comment above... another great place to get keywork links back to his site.

And if this post takes off, like some of my posts do, that link will become more valuable as the page rank on this post rises.  (good work Chad)
