There are many ways to get higher Google rankings. By using these 8 SEO tricks you will not only get to the top of Google faster, you will also rank better in other search engines as well. If you are not using search engine optimization in your blogs, articles, online advertisements, videos, sales letters, squeeze pages, websites, etc. then you are doing yourself a major injustice.

There is a misconception that search engine optimization is hard and takes a long time to learn. While there are many new ways for SEO popping up and like everything else dealing with marketing it is an ongoing education it is not super difficult to conquer.

The 8 SEO tricks I am about to share any one even a newbie can start utilizing right away to get higher Google Rankings. There will be no black hat tips here; these are white hat tricks that work.

There are two main things that Google factors in when calculating your page rank:

1. How much relevant content does your site have?
2. How many backlinks do you have going to your site?

You can conquer both requirements by following these 8 SEO Tricks.

1. Use keywords in titles. Use this trick for your title tag in your HTML header, titles of articles, blog posts, ads, squeeze pages, videos and sales pages. The key is to use a keyword or phrase that makes sense. Do not squeeze a bunch of keywords in and have your titles sound ridiculous.

2. Use keywords in the body. Use this trick in the detailed content of your website, blog posts, articles, press releases and other writings.

3. Use keywords in descriptions. Use this trick in your website’s Meta descriptions for the search engines, descriptions of your articles and anywhere else that asks for a brief description of your content.

4. Use keywords in tags: Use this trick in Meta tags, tags for articles, blog posts, videos, online ads, press releases, online photos and anything else that allows you to add tags.

5. Use keywords in domains and page URLs. Use this trick when picking out a catchy domain for your site, also when naming other pages on your sites, if possible use keywords, i.e. permalinks for your blog articles.

6. Refer to quality external links (Linkbait). Use this trick when linking to other sites on your pages, posts etc. Anchor text them using a keyword phrase relating to the page you are linking to. It looks better, tells your audience a little about the link and Google counts those keywords for you as well. Also, trackback on quality blog posts.

7. Content, content and more content. The more relevant content on your page the better Google will index your pages and even more so when following the above rules.

8. Get quality backlinks. There are many ways to do this. Put your link in author boxes for articles and press releases, use a link in your signature when posting in forums, set up a HubPage and Squidoo page and link back to relevant content of yours, social bookmarking and trackback on high ranking blog posts and then go comment while adding value and mention your article you wrote with the link.

If you implement all 8 SEO tricks you will be well on your way to efficient search engine optimization that will get you higher Google rankings.
