A recent study at Forrester revealed that nearly 80% of website traffic is the result of search engines which means that if you want to increase the volume of website visitors it is important that your site has a high ranking on such engines like Bing, Google and Yahoo.
Many business owners invest a significant amount of time and money trying to get the search engines to rank their website favorably. Most of them fail trying to do it themselves, because the search engine algorithms are very complex. You could do a great job on many aspects of the SEO, but if you do poorly on just one aspect, even as simple as using the same word too many times, it could actually hurt your ranking even more.

Some tips:
Use appropriate page titles like "Mortgage Broker in Santa Cruz, CA Specializing in home loans" instead of just "Welcome to my site"
Choose the right keywords in your pages body text. See what words or phrases people are searching in Google and make sure they are included in your body text as well as your meta tags.
Do not spam your pages or meta tags with the same words or phrases over and over. This will hurt your ranking.
Content is king. Content is being counted towards how your website will rank more and more recently. So build your website with insightful content that relates to you and your business and what it is that you have to offer.
Optimize your local advertising by submitting your website to Google Local, including your physical address and phone number. Also think about submitting to free directories like Yahoo, Yelp, SuperPages, etc.
Do some cross linking with some of your referral partners and vendors. Incoming links to your site from reputable websites also helps your ranking.
