“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.” — John Gaule
Little things make the difference sometimes. By that I mean if you can make these simple things – it is better to do so.
Tip #1: When linking to any website from your own site, webpage or url whether it’s your own or someone’s else website… here is what to do.
If the link is: http://www.domainname.com always put a slash (/) at the end. So you link to: http://www.domainname.com/
You can also do this if the url you are going to link to is for example:
http://www.domainname.com/Affiliates
Put it as:
http://www.domainname.com/Affiliates/
You cannot put the slash if it is a page like for example:
http://www.domainname.com/Affiliates.html
In that case putting a slash will results in page error – the page will not load.
So why this simple slash?
Spiders which are search engine software visit your website and read your content, your links and so forth. This takes time of course. When you use the slash what you are doing is speeding up the time spiders take to read your website.
You are helping spiders in other words… and they obviously like that. It is something good to do.
It speeds up because once spiders see the slash at the end of the url, they know the url ends there. They have many websites to read if you have lots of links, so this will speed up things. It’s like someone reading a book, each sentence has a full stop, so it is easier to read of course.
Consider the slash as if it was a full stop in the end of a sentence. The full stop helps the reader and the slash helps the spiders. 
I do not suggest you go and fix all websites urls you have, because it may take too much time – you can spend that time more wisely probably.
Tip #2: If you have a blogger blog, you can create meta tags inside your blog template.
Step by step instructions with screenshots below.
Let’s start step by step. First here is exactly where to locate the template:

1. Click Template
2. Click Edit Html
Then you will see a box with code like this one below.

Note that I highlighted in yellow the word head. Under that, I placed the meta tags and I placed a black outline around the meta tags.
You just do the same, post the meta tags under the head word. To make it easier for you just copy and paste the meta tag code I placed on this webpage:
http://www.outranksmart.com/blog/meta-tag-code.html On that page there are also instructions to edit your title, etc.
So those are two small things but make a big difference. The meta tags will create unique meta tag titles for each of your blog post pages. Google prefers this, so each blog post will have a unique descriptive meta title.
The meta title appears in the search engine results… Simple things to fix, but improve a lot of things.
