KEYWORDS: The keywords you choose for your SEO will certainly influence your online success, if you target the wrong keywords you could well be wasting all of your valuable efforts! We would never advise that you optimize your web pages for general one-word keywords, rather, optimize for highly targeted keywords that will attract the right type of visitor.
REMEMBER, YOU WANT BUYERS, NOT WEBSITE CLICKS!! The more targeted your keywords are, the better your site will perform.
ON-PAGE OPTIMISATION: Once you know the keywords for which you require ranking, you have to optimize your web pages accordingly, optimize as many different pages for as many differing keywords as you possibly can. Ensure that the keywords appear in the right format on your pages and that they appear grammatically correct to appease the search engines. Your site architecture should also be considered as an important element of on-page optimisation and your website navigation should contain your keywords and all pages of your site should be linked in a meaningful manner in order for the search engines to categories your website pages.
USABILITY AND CONVERSION OPTIMISATION: Even if your site attracts hundreds of visitors every day, if the pages are not user friendly and the site has a poor structure and is visually un-appealing, all your hard work will have been in vain! Your site should create trust and ensure that your products are well-explained and easy to purchase.

REMEMBER, All elements must be in place and in the correct order to ensure success, if you simply have links, you wont get sales if your pages are too messy to ensure conversion and if you have optimised pages, they will be useless if you have optimised them for the wrong keywords. When you have achieved well-optimised pages you will still need good quality backlinks to Get To Page One!
