hello all,

I am fairly new to building websites, i am doing ok with them, but i am stuggling to optimise them. Can anybody give me any tips please??

hi
firstly start with groups of keywords that are doable
unique content around the keywords - good title and meta description and then drop your keywords sparingly into H1 and alt tags
bold a keyword will also help - then you need to create links, slow to start and then build them up gradually

Hi,

What do you wanna optimize? Is it loading times or is it for Search Engine Optimazation?

better if you optimize your webpages first. then go for off page. most of the people go for mass back-links. but remember that google also are so optimized so you cant make it food go natural way, you will win the race

You need to take help from google adwords keyword tool, you can find your keyword popularity and density from here.

what’s your website?  The most important thing is that you optimize the title, descriptions and keyword tags to start.  Do you have original contents and how often do you add them? Website optimization is not a one-step deal.

If you want to optimize a page on your website it is one thing. If you are talking about link building it is different thing. What exactly you want to do?
