SEO – The First Steps

One of my main aims for my site, which I never paid attention to before,  is to get it to the top of the rankings in search engines. Search Engine Optimization is something that I have never paid much attention to, in the past few years, I just didn't have the time to dedicate to it. I'm looking more into it now. A good starting point it is:

I've noticed the term "michael doyle portfolio" is turning my site up in google within the first 5 results, which is good, but it's nowhere to be seen when just searching for the term "michael doyle". I have to pay good attention to other search engines, as google isn't the be all and end all in SEO, but it's a good place to start.

I have to look into how I can utilize my flickr, stumbleupon and last.fm accounts to see help my portfolio climb the rankings.
