How to get on top of your competition

All top ranking website designs have something in common, guess what?
Simple meta, rich content, 100% relevancy, CSS, simple navigation, h1, Alt tags, XML, RSS, W3c, open source, and web 2.0

1. Use a search engine optimized website whereby all title, Meta keywords and descriptions neatly written (not just for spiders but for humans.)
2. Meaningful Meta Tags with 100% relevancy in the content
3. Cascading Style Sheets or CSS should be utilized in such a way that all important heading are H1 and sub heading h2, h3 and so on…….
4. Remove rich media like video, JS, ads or any other gadgets which looks fancy but of no real use
5. Simplicity in defining the website pages is the key for good rankings. Both spiders and humans love simple sitemap and simple navigation the most
6. Always use pictures with proper ALT tags otherwise plain vanilla text will work to get you on top
7. Use of XML and RSS will help your website to be lightweight. Search engines just love XML and RSS
8. Website should be W3c validated which indicates the spider that the site is in compliance with the latest parameters
9. Do not stuff keywords which do not have any relevancy to the content of your website.
10. Open source website ranks much higher in search engines
11. Always try and make a resolution free / table less website so that any visitor  visiting your website do not have to adjust their monitor.
