Summary of the most important Seo techniques.
1. Writing a Page Title.
Writing a descriptive title for each page.
Remove as many "Connecting" words from the title, such as "the,"
"and," etc. make surfers to click on the title by making it a bit
Inquisitive. Plan to use some descriptive keywords along with your
business name on your home page. If you specialize in silver Jewelry
and that's what people will be searching for, don't just use your
company name "Abc, Industries." use "Silver Jewelry -- Abc,
Industries." Words people are most likely to search on put first in
the title (called as keyword prominence). The more people see that
interests them in the blue highlighted portion of the search engine,
the more likely they are to click on the link.
2. Write a Description META Tag.
search engines include this description below your hyperlinked title.
This sentence should describe the contents of the body text of the
webpage, using the main keywords and key phrases used on this page. If
you include keywords that aren't used on the webpage you could hurt
yourself. Your maximum number of characters should be about 255; just
be aware that only the first 60 or so are visible on Google, though
more may be indexed. When you prepare a webpage, write the description
first in a sentence or two, using each of the important keywords and
phrases included in the article. The keywords META tag is no longer
used for ranking by Google and many other search engines, but it is
currently used by Yahoo.
3.Include Your Keywords in Header Tags H1, H2, H3.
Search engines consider words that appear in the page headline and sub
heads to be important to the page, so make sure your desired keywords
and phrase appear in one or two header tags.
4. Make Sure Your Keywords Are in the First Paragraph of Your Body
Text. Search engines expect that your first paragraph will contain the
important keywords for the document. You don't want to stuff keywords
here, however. Other places you might consider including keywords
would be in ALT tags and perhaps COMMENT tags.
5. Make Your Navigation System Search Engine Friendly. Some webmasters
use frames, but frames can cause serious problems with search engines.
Even if search engines can find your content pages, they'll be missing
the key navigation to help visitors get to the rest of your site.
JavaScript and Flash navigation buttons look great, but search engines
can't follow them. Supplement them with regular HTML links at the
bottom of the page, ensuring that a chain of hyperlinks exists that
can get from the front page to every page in your site. A site map
with links to all your pages can help, too.
6. Develop Several Pages Focused on Particular Keywords. SEO
specialists don't recommend using external doorway or gateway pages
any more, since nearly duplicate WebPages might penalize you. Rather,
develop several WebPages on your site, each of which is focused on a
different keyword or key phrase.
7. Submit Webpage URL to Search Engines.
Next, submit your page to the important Web search engines that
robotically index the Web. Look for a link on the search engine for
"Add Your URL."
8. Links to your site bring additional traffic that is quite worth the
effort. Since Google and other major search engines consider the
number of incoming links to your website (link popularity) as an
important factor in ranking, more links will help you rank higher in
the search engines, too.
9. Submit Your Site to Key Directories.
Be sure to list your site in the free Open Directory Project
(www.dmoz.com), overseen by human editors. This hierarchical directory
provides content feeds to all the major search engines.
Yahoo! Directory is another important directory to be listed in,
though their search results recently haven't been featuring their own
directory as prominently.
10. Submit Your Site to Industry Sites and Specialized Directories.
You may find some directories focused on particular industries.
11. Request Reciprocal Links.
Find complementary websites and request a reciprocal link to your
site.
12. Write Articles for Others to Use in their Newsletters. You can
dramatically increase your visibility when you write articles in your
area of expertise and distribute them to editors as free content.
