Tips on Search Engine Marketing |
|
| |
Title Tag |
| |
| The title tag is the most powerful on-site SEO technique you have, so use it creatively! What you place in the title tag should only be one thing, the exact keyword you used for the web page that you are trying to optimize. Every single web page should have its own title tag. |
|
ALT Tags |
|
ALT tags were meant to be for text browsers because the images didn't show in text browsers and the ATL tags would tell the visitor what it's about. You should put your main keyword(s) in the ALT tags, but don't overdo it because you could get dropped in the results or even worse banned for life! |
|
Link Popularity |
|
Link popularity is the most powerful SEO tool out of all them. Most search engines don't even consider web sites if there is not at least one or two links pointing to the web site. Having another site(s) link to your web site is important when it comes to getting your site a good ranking. |
|
Keyword Density |
|
This is also vital and should be used with research. You should use the keyword(s) once in the title tag, once in the heading tag, once in bold text, and get the density between 5% to 20% |
|
Page Size |
| |
Your web page's speed is important to your visitors and the search engines. Try your best to keep your web page over 5k and under 15k in size. |
| |
Rich Theme |
|
Search engines are looking at themes more and more. Build content (Articles, FAQ, tips, etc.) much as possible and keep the web pages around 200 to 500 words. Create content that's related to your market and link them out to other related content on your site. Try to get 200 web pages or more. |
|
Web Site Design |
|
This is also important, if you want to get indexed. Text content should outweigh the HTML content. The pages should validate and be usable in all of today's leading edge browsers. Stay away from flash and Java Script, search engines dislike them both a lot. |
| |
Insite Cross Linking |
|
This will help you get all of your web pages indexed by the search engines. Your web pages should be no more than three clicks away from the home page. Link to topic related quality content across your site. This will also help build you a better theme throughout your web site. On every page you should link back to your home page and your main service. |

Considerations before thinking about income from your website |
|
| |
Purpose |
|
A strategy which defines what steps you take. Strategies begin with brainstorming. Sit down, put a blank paper on your desk, grasp your pen, and write. Write anything that comes to mind relevant to your purpose. Write the not so relevant ideas too; who knows they might turn out to be the most important expression of your brainstorming. You may find the right purpose from a large number. |
| |
| Persistence |
| |
No matter what the hype reads, this takes persistence. Perhaps the only emotion that separates the successful from an unsuccessful comes down to persistence. Preparation"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure," |
|
Probabilities |
|
Everyone has an opinion, and every pole a changing shade. However, reading polls provides some lessons on reading the probabilities of website traffic. Most of us read the primary poll results rather than referring to the "internal tracking polls". |
|
Personality |
|
Many websites give the same impression. Every website page represents you implicitly or explicitly. What matters to you should be evident on your website, and your website should represent your values. |
|
|
|
| |
Sitemaps and hyperlinks are the keys to attract search engine robots to your website. Search engine robots or often called search bots are not terribly sophisticated. They cannot perform action such as button click, form submission or any other action that any human visitor might perform. Search bots are able to index the page content and click through hyperlinks on the web page. |
|
Use of text links at the bottom of your pages, while hardly cutting edge, is one of the best ways to make sure that the search engine robots can move around your site. Be sure to include links to your site's principal pages on all the pages in your site. Always remember to put a link to your sitemap page here too. |
|
Sitemap should provide following information |
| |
|
Provide text links to at least the most important pages on your site; depending on the size of the site, it may have links to every page. |
|
Give a short explanation of each page on your site, to inform your visitors about your website. |
|
Give your visitors the information they need when lost in your website, and show them how to reach the page they are looking for. |
|
Provide a pathway for the search engine robots to follow in order to reach your most important pages. |
|
Provide important keyword phrases in the sitemap text and hypertext links that help the automated search engine robot understand what the page is about. |
|
Help search engine robots find static landing pages that then link to dynamically generated pages they may not otherwise find. |
