Read about the Free SEO Starter Guide at the Blogopreneur this morning via Google Alert. It was a short post by Kian Ann. Since he highly recommend it and it’s by Google, I have to go download and print a copy of this free SEO ebook.

This is a basic SEO guide and I think it’s a must-read for everyone, not just webmasters and web designers.

Because it is such a short guide, only 22 page, there is no table of contents or organized in chapters.

So I have taken to time to list out the main points of this very useful and important SEO Guide by Google.

1. Create unique, accurate page titles
2. Make use of the “description” meta tag
3. Improve the structure of your URLs
4. Make your site easier to navigate
5. Offer quality content and services
6. Write better anchor text
7. Use heading tags appropriately
8. Optimize your use of images
9. Make effective use of robots.txt
10. Be aware of rel=”nofollow” for links
11. Promote your website in the right ways
12. Make use of free webmaster tools**
13. Take advantage of web analytics services**
14. Helpful resources for webmasters**
