Basics of search engine optimisation Write good content Use key Words (keyword, meta-tag) Your domain name (URL) Think about spelling Write descriptive page titles Use real headings Use search engine friendly URLs Get linked to Use valid, semantic, lean, and accessible markup Don’t try to fool the search engines

16. Paid positions There is a nominal, one-time activation fee for Google AdWords. After that, you pay only for clicks on your keyword-targeted AdWords ads, or for impressions on your site-targeted AdWords ads. You can control your costs by telling us how much you're willing to pay per click or per impression and by setting a daily budget for spending. For example, a new advertiser paying in USD can activate his/her AdWords account with just US$5.00, and can then choose a maximum cost-per-click (CPC) from US$0.01 - US$100.
