I need to learn how I optimize my words, tags, etc. if anyone can guide me and help me, it would be greatly appreciated

Hi everyone.  I`m new to the SEO community and world in general.  I need to learn how I optimize my words, tags, etc. to make my page here on Google+, my blog and website more "searchable."  I am not sure WHERE to insert the key words that make my sites "searchable" so if anyone can guide me and help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Someone was kind enough to tell me I needed to include key words in my "title tag" and in an "H1 tag."  I am not sure what Title Tag means and I do not know what "H1 tag" is.  I`m so sorry but I need to learn so any help will be so appreciated. Thank you so very much.?

  • Dewaldt Huysamen: +Tim Capper has written the basic guide on this
  • Dewaldt Huysamen: Or you can follow this http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf
  • Jim Munro: There are two links to good seo guides in this community's description section, Becky.

    What is Tim's link, Dewaldt? I will add that too.
  • Becky Stillions: +Dewaldt Huysamen ; and +Jim Munro ;, thank you.  ;I will check these links out and try to learn.  ;I'm reading the "starter guide" document now and it is a bit overwhelming for me at the moment!  ;:)
  • Rotimi Orimoloye: I think I know how you feel. You've been reading so much, but they keep asking you to go read some more. But if you could just get a bit of practice, that would probably give you more reason (interest) to do some more reading. ;

    That's how I feel many times.

    So If that's how you feel., I would be glad to give you step by step real time tips with the Titles and H1s (eventhough, I doubt if those H tags make that much of a difference these days) and you should consider Meta description Tags as well (mostly crucial for human eyeballs not search engines).
  • Tim Capper: Hey +Becky Stillions ;here are the basics i wrote from last year, very simple easy steps.

    Thanks +Dewaldt Huysamen ;for tagging me in.
