What is Search Engine Optimization/Optimisation (SEO)?

The correct term is “Search Engine Marketing” (SEM), the term “optimization” is used mostly when we refer to how a Web page is ranked. Each page is given a score based on several elements on the page’s structure and how many votes a page has received.

The Structure of your HTML Web page is very important when it comes to typing your explanations about any particular topic / niche your Web site is about.

The first rule of thumb is to always include a H1 tag at the beginning of each Web page.

The H1 tag is the header Subject tag, and classed as one of the most important elements a search engine looks for to determine what your Web page document is about, amoungst other factors. The H1 tag should always contain your primary keyword, a phrase that will be used
by other users of Search Engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc.

The position of the Keyword should be at the beginning of every H1 tag, only use H1 Tags once, using more than one H1 tag on the Web page will confuse the search engine in understanding the main importance of its use. When you want to empathsize another paragraph, use a H2 tag
instead. Rather than using the same Keyword in the H2 tag, use a related keyword term instead.

College Loans

1. Stafford Loans
The Federal government has a subsidized (and non-subsidized) loan program for low and middle income students. Eligibility is determined through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid(FAFSA). Maximum allowed in the Freshman year is $3500, second year is $4500, while in the 3rd and 4th years, the amount is increased to a maximum of $5500. These figures are for dependent students. Independent students or students whose parents have been denied a PLUS loan are eligible for about double those amounts, though anything higher than these numbers will be unsubsidized.

2. Plus loans
Parents of students can apply for these loans and can borrow up to the amount of school expenses not covered by other financial aid.There are two types of Plus Loans, Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and Direct. Students must be enrolled at least half time in an undergraduate program to be eligible. Credit history is taken into consideration for the Plus loans, so those parents with poor credit may not be able to qualify for the PLUS Loans. These loans are not subsidized.

3. Perkins Loans
Federal Perkins Loans are low interest (5%) loans for both undergraduate and graduate students, depending on financial need. You can borrow up to $4,000 per school year. Perkins loans are made by and repaid to your school.
