You are most likely to have dreams, ambitions and goals which include:

-          More financial or business success

-          Better health and well-being

-          Great relationships

-          More meaning and fulfilment in your life

With so many resources available to you – books, CDs, seminars, websites, and much more – why do so few people have all that they truly desire and deserve?

At very short notice, I attended his phenomenal one-week seminar at one of his homes, Guthrie Castle in Scotland.

In fact, Dan’s events have created substantial financial wealth for so many delegates, sometimes into the multiple millions of pounds (or dollars)

Part of his phenomenal track record in business is having started  a company with almost nothing, and building it to a value of over $400 million in just 8 years.

In this talk, recorded in August 2010, you’ll quickly learn:

  • How to make your business dream into a reality
  • The traits and characteristics of most high-performance people
  • How to expand your ‘comfort zone’
  • Why other successful people will want to help you achieve your dreams
  • That you’re judged with who you associate with
  • And much more

1. Create an XML sitemap. Don’t worry if you’re not technical, just go to sitemap.org and you just need to press a few buttons and it is done for you for free. Then you just need to upload it to your site, which your website manager can do in 2 seconds. Make sure you then log into to Google Webmaster tools (you can set up an account very easily) and submit the location of your sitemap. 

2. Assign Images on your website with Keywords. If you can take the first three images on your site and add an alt tag to them and then name each image with a different keyword that is related to that particular phrase.

3.  Header Tags. Your first line of each page should have a Header tag known as H1. You should place your most important keyword in that tag. Then place your next most important keyword further down the page in the second header tag, known as H2.

4. Highlight & Emphasise. You should put bold and italic tags on keywords that are important to you on each page. Don’t go crazy with this, just do a few.

5. Internal Links. You should have a few links from each page to other pages on your website. These links should be “anchor text” links.

Just by doing these 5 steps – you should see a big increase in your rankings.

If you’re not technical in the slightest, don’t panic. Your website developer/manager should be able to do all these changes for you.

These are just some of the steps every website should be taking in order to get maximum value from their website.
