You can learn a lot from other people's websites.

What do you like and what turns you off? How are they using meta data? What key words are your competitors using?

Did you know you can view the source code in any website by going to View>Developer>View Source? It may be a little different on a PC. Even if you don't know html code, you will start to learn by looking at sections of code and seeing what it does. Look at the Title, the Description and what key words are used in the meta data.

The Title and Description are what the search engines display. They are the invitation to your website.

1. Make sure your title is a headline that grabs attention

2. Make sure the Description is accurate and inviting.

3. While metadata key words are not as important as previously, don't ignore them.

By default search engines use the first 160 words as the description they display. If your first paragraph describes your post you do not need to make any modifications.

Yes! Ken - I love that feature of editing posts, especially when one types fast on an Android device and you miss the correct button... :-)

I look at this and I see I have a long way to go, I wish I were 25 years younger. For the real newbies there are terms I need to know, especially the abbreviations. I'm in for the long hall however long it will be. In a few months I'll understand more. I'm glad you're on my side :)

I'm 84 and I've been working at internet marketing for the better part of 5 years. Modest success, but I feel with WA I'm making gains faster than I ever could have expected. Have questions, just ask. The world has such opportunities and challenges. We live in exciting times.

All I can say is "wow"
I'll say that backwards "wow"
You're a role model if there ever was one

You can even say THAT backwards, too.
Bill, I am MEGA inspired. I have a long way to go, but you have just demonstrated that age is no barrier, and now I just need to get into it and stop sitting on the fence.
