1) On Site SEO: Glossary pages are good content for SEO<\/p>\n
2) On Site SEO: Use footer links sparingly and only link to your most important pages. Don\u2019t waste pagerank on content that is worthless.<\/p>\n
3) Search: You need to get your site in to the blended search results using images and video. A picture is worth 1000 words and people are clicking on it.<\/p>\n
4) Keyword Research: Use Google Insights to make sure the keywords you are focusing on do not have declining interest.<\/p>\n
5) Analytics: Measure your brand traffic and keyword traffic separately.<\/p>\n
6) Analytics: Are you ranking #1 (or trying\u00a0 to rank #1) for a keyword that will not provide any real benefit to your business? Check that.<\/p>\n
7) Keyword Research: Perform ongoing keyword research. The way people search changes.<\/p>\n
8:) Competitive Analysis: Read competitors press releases. Are they using words that may change the way people search? Think “Kleenex, Xerox, Dell”<\/p>\n
9) Keyword Research: Use Google Trends to check traffic trends in different markets.\u00a0 There may be emerging opportunities in other geographic areas..<\/p>\n
10) Keyword Research: How long will it take to get a keyword converting? Will it be worth it when it does?<\/p>\n
11) Launching a new product that doesn\u2019t exist in the market yet? Associate it with one that does to make people more comfortable with it.<\/p>\n
12) Landing pages: put the call to action above the fold.<\/p>\n
13) Landing pages: keep forms above the fold and make them as short as possible<\/p>\n
14) Conversions: 3% to 5% is decent<\/p>\n
15: Bounce rate: 30% is good, 50% is ok, 70% needs work<\/p>\n

17: Forms: make sure there are no questions they can\u2019t answer or they will leave<\/p>\n
18: Does your “Thank You” page cross sell or further engage? It should.<\/p>\n
19: User experience: Screen size and resolution matters. Test, test, test<\/p>\n
