TweetTo keep things simple you dont really need to try to get any google top 10′s (as this is the most important page of any search). If your band name is your domain name, that’s a good start. The next steps would be to use your band name on your index page’s title and think about geographical based keywords. From then on in, the majority of your content can be your niche’s targeted keywords.
The guide explains later that there are also select parts of your content you create which can also help with new visitors through searches. The first key words you should cover are the geographical location of the band, its recording studio, where they play live regularly and so forth.
Once you forget about the widgets and audio and video on your website your left with barebones text. Narrowing this down some more and applying power to certain parts of your site will help with telling Search Engines what you are about.
If you were to read a newspaper or magazine article, first of all it’s Page Title would be most noticable, it has to catch your attention after all. The page’s title is the blue bar running across the top if your on a version of the windows operating system. Within your webpage you will obviously see Headings which go from H1 to H6, H1 being most authorative. After that it’s just Text, which are a combination of lists, paragraphs etc. So putting these keywords in these places is the first place you will start. Writing 200 words up, i aim for 300-500 but that is for reading sake and not for the bots, but 200 should be suffice. You want the bots to understand you are about, as the more it does the potential increases for your site to be organically found.
