Written in 2008. Most of this checklist still holds. Two updates: Google has ignored the meta keywords tag since 2009, and titles now show best at around 50 to 60 characters.

Title Tag: Make 70 characters long title tag. Every page of site have Title according to your target keywords. Make good and meaningful title, so that can attract visitors.

Meta Tag Description: Make 150 characters long meta tag description according to Google.

If you have more keywords and you could not use in Title then you can use it in description. Description show on SERP, So, make attractive description so that visitor can make click on your website.

Meta Tag Keywords: If you are targeting 5 – 7 keywords for one web page and you have used in Title and Description then You can add more then 10 keywords in meta tag keywords.

Heading Tags: Use keywords in heading tag. Use only one time H1 and can use H2 and H3 how much you want.
