Search Engine Optimization (SEO) involves optimizing a website so that it will be likely to get good ranking on search engines. SEO is an important discipline for webmasters to learn because it will directly affect where you rank on the search engines people use to find your site. Not ranking well on search engines is like building a beautiful building meant to serve lots of people in your target audience, but not being listed in the phone book so that people can find your new building or contact you.

While there are many sources on the web that tell you all kinds of ?Tricks? to get good rankings, the truth is that many of these ?Tricks? can backfire on you and actually result in being penalized in your search engine rankings. Christian webmasters need to know what works, what doesn?t, and what is considered ethical among the changing rules in Search Engine optimizations. I have often been asked to evaluate websites that other webmasters have designed. In doing so, I have found that a number of things are commonly wrong with the sites. I have compiled that list for you in this article. The list is in the form of 18 common ?illnesses? I find with websites and what the ?Doctor?s? prescriptions to fix the problems.

It should be noted, that as search engines rapidly change their methods for determining rank, some of these ?prescriptions? may become out of date or less relevant. However, none of them will harm your search engine rankings if you implement them.
