Consider this the official thread for all the little tips and tricks we learn when being a webmaster. Fellow webmasters, enlighten us with your tips for here are a few of mine:
-Find good keywords:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal , USE IT!
-H1 tags are almost as important as title tags
-Don't use commas or "and" in title tags. Construct your title tags like this
=> "Keyword/phrase 1 | Keyword/phrase 2 | Keyword/phrase 3"
For example from one of my sites, my title tags are:
=>"How To Survive | Survival Tips | Survival Guide"
- Always monitor your traffic, I use google analytics (free!)
-Never more then 3 ads on a page at any given time. After that, it gets cluttered and people lose interest in what you have to say and the chance of them clicking through goes down.
-Social Bookmarking, USE IT! Even if you only get one or two digg's or one or two stumbles, this will provide with a decent back link and fellow webmasters in the same niche may see it and link to you.
