(Without having looked at your site, ) Here are some pointers:
Meaningful content. (d-uh!) :) No, seriously, if you have something to write about, chances are there's a world of people out there willing to read it, so feed the need! Write about stuff, be accurate, use formal names and location names often and correctly.
If you visited San Francisco, saying that you "...saw the famous bridge" makes sence, but saying that you "...saw San Francisco Bridge" makes MORE sence AND puts three more 'index-able words' into the spider-bot foray! :)
Use <h> tags and in them, meaningful text that sums-up the next paragraphs. Search engines seek <h1>, <h2>, <h3> (etc.) tags and uses the text therein to balance what the searcher searched for. And in the <h> tag, add [title="Text of the H-tag"] (generally, the same text as the <h>-tag itself, counts as additional points plus it aids screen-readers).
Also important, use <p> and </p> tags. To some extent if noting more than making the page more modern, using this 'optional tag' is just good practice and is useful.
Useful and meaninful anchor text. NOT "Click Here", which means absolutely nothing to a spider/'bot, but if the link takes you to a page about widgets, make the text say "Widgets" or "Click Here to see my Widgets!", -something to that effect. Meaningful. A link that goes <a href = "www.myWidgetsSite.co" title="My Widgets">My Widgets Site</a> will index FAR better than <a href = "www.myWidgetsSite.co">Click Me!</a>
If you don't mind spiders/'bots crawling your site, use the meta-data tag:
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
I Put it on every page. It instructs 'bots to 'go deep' and read ALL your pages. Avoid FLASH, -some index agents will boycott pages with excessive FLASH animation... it doesn't know what to make of it and it move on...
In the meta tag:
<meta name="keywords" content="your keywords here, keywords, searchable lovely keywords, (etc.) />
-limit your keywords to approx. 56 words. Some 'bots/crawlers/spider will IGNORE this meta tag is it contains more than maybe 56 words (some search agent ignore meta-data altogether anyway, but serve those that still do by using this correctly).
And avoid REPEATING, REPEATING, REPEATING (etc.) any certain keyword! Doing this five or more times contstitutes "spamming" and some 'bots will kick your page because of it. Seriously, if your site is about "baseball", sure, "baseball hall of fame" and "little league baseball" are NOT the same "keyword", but stuffing your meta-data content= with "baseball, baseball, baseball, baseball, baseball, (etc.) is...
Give your img file a meaningful alt="description of photo or graphic". This helps too, as "images" are not "index-able", but if the image contains an alt="Our baseball team wins the Penant!" text, then THAT will be read/indexed and works to your page's advantage.
And if an image is just there 'for looks', don't give it any alt="description". If it's a picture of a red ball, -I don't need to know that. Just go alt="" (empty quotes). Empty quotes keeps the page valid so you don't get a "missing alt=" error, and yet, throws no text at screen-readers or spider/'bots. Also, never use the word "image" to start an img's alt="" text! Screen readers identify the object AS an image, and so state it, THEN it READS the alt="" (if any is present), and if alt="" says "image: our Baseball Team", the screen-reader speaks it thus: "IMAGE. image: our Baseball Team" and you've just confused a blind person (possibly driving them away from your site??).
There are dozens more things that you can do, but if you do even just these and let your site get 'crawled', within a few weeks your ranking will inprove. Heck, -some sites I did sat on the web for over a year and never rose about 'the 300s' until I did these ideas... and within a month or two, for the search criteria entered, my sites can come up anywhere from #2 to #10 ("first page"). It will work. :)
Gotta run... good luck to you!
