SEO Tips from Google

The Google AdSense blog shared some tips on optimizing your site for Google search.

Here are some tips for structuring your site:

• Your pages should have a clear hierarchy and relevant internal links. We also recommend creating a Sitemap and using Google’s Webmaster Tools. These tools are useful, user-friendly and will provide information such as where your backlinks come from or which queries visitors used to reach your site.
• Use <title> tags that are explicit and useful for the user. For example, avoid a title like “Homepage” or “Welcome to my site”.
• For images, use ALT attributes to describe appropriately what the image is about.

Fairly basic stuff, but a good reinforcement for affiliate newbies.
