You could try having a search on the Sitepoint forum - that has a lot of SEO discussion on it.

Depends on what kind of output you wanted to gain.

1. If you dont want too much competition from other SEO?s, choose your keywords precisely.
For example, Instead of keyowrd Loan choose keywords like Bank Loan, Equity Loan, Student Loan, Home Loan etc.
Order of keyword also matter for search engines. Search engine treats ?Loan Equity? and ?Equity Loan? as different keywords.

2. Best seo practice is to get at least one of your primary keywords in domain or sub domain name of your website.
You can use hyphens (-) to separate multiple keywords.
For example: seo-service, seo-guidelines, free-seo each cover two keyords.

3. Get your second or third keywords in your directory name and filename.

4. Keep your webpage free from any syntax error, declare document type at the beginning and validate your HTML and CSS because search engine don?t like pages with too many errors.

5. Give a short Title in of your page in 3-9 words (60-80 characters) maximum in length containing your primary keyword.
Remember it will be displayed in search results so choose wisely.

6. Try to include your most important keyword phrases in heading tags on your page if you can but keep in mind it should not be exactly same as title of your page.
You can use (H1 H2 H3) tag for specifying anything important.
To reduce size of heading use CSS.

7. Specify Meta keywords in heading of document. Limit it to 15 to 20 words. Although not all the search engines give importance but there is no harm doing it.
Search engine like Yahoo still give it importance.

8. Write Your Meta Description tag attractive containing keywords because it will appear on the search engine result pages.

9. Use text for navigation menu instead of using images or Java scripts.

10. Try to include your most important keyword in hyperlinked text and text and text that immediately precedes or follows the hyperlink.
Do not use same keyword always use synonyms at few places.Jusk like instead of seo, I have use search engine optimization at many places on this page.

Before worrying too much about the technicalities of onsite SEO I'd fix your site's layout (columns crash into eachother in FF3), work on the presentation of the content you have and make it more interesting, more concise and punchier to actually engage REAL visitors. Only by sorting the content - creating the right sections, structure and navigation can you really make inroads into onsite SEO. And there's not much point increasing onsite SEO until you've sorted what happens when someone actually lands on the site.

Not harsh, just advice along the lines of "horse before cart"!

I echo Wizely's words, before doing the SEO on other peoples' sites, you should sort it out on your site, some methods you're using are borderline black hat, for example the 'blurb' at the bottom is clearly something that you just want to appear on search engines because of them crawling the top and bottom first, but it won't work very well and could get you black listed. Google only wants natural sites on their search engines, ones that aren't trying to manipulate, but ones that are trying to inform and be helpful, your site is doing that in a way.

Looking through your code, I wouldn't trust you to do my search engine optimisation, you're using out-of-date methods and stuff that doesn't even really work.

Since when did google only index the top of your page?

[traxor]

You know what I mean, it indexes it all, but black hat seos try and manipulate the fact that hotspots are headers and footers, so place text there full of keywords. Don't be pedantic .
