We have started a new computer forum as the InstantPhp.Com . Because of this, We are currently reading search engine related articles .  I see most people writes their top 10 tips to improve the search engine rankings.

I'm going to try to write my own top 1o tips for Joomla 1.5

1. No black hat techniques, don’t buy into link farms that just send traffic, you will not receive converting visitors. You will need backlinks from the related web sites.

2. Ensure you have your own web site domain rather than relying on free sites and article directories like Squidoo and Hubpages. These are good but use them to drive one-way traffic to a landing page on your own web site domain.

3. Make sure that you have meta tags related to your web page content. These should contain your keywords derived from your keyword research. Use Wordtracker to find out what daily searches contain those keywords, you may need to optimize further. Checking this JED category may help you
