Top 5 SEO Techniques Explained:
- What is an SEO compatible website ? An SEO compatible website is one that does not have technical or structural barriers that would prevent search engine spiders from reading and indexing some or all of its pages. Some examples of the barriers to search engine spiders are: frames, image based navigation, missing meta tags and certain types of dynamic URL structures. If your site already has some or all of these structural issues, don't panic, there is almost always a solution short of a complete re-design. These are the types of issues we point out in our FREE Website Review Service .
- What do you mean when you say, "relevant keywords"? There are keywords and then, there are relevant keywords. The difference is, keywords used by industry insiders, like you, may not be the same terms your customers use to describe your products or services. You want your website content optimized for the terms potential customers are searching for; those are your relevant keywords. Additionally, certain keywords - even relevant keywords - may have an overwhelming association with a product or service that is totally unrelated to yours. As a result of click patterns associated with those terms, the search engines may determine that people using those keywords want the other product or service - not yours. Our keyword research defines your relevant keywords and uncovers unrelated use issues.
- What are the most important parts of my website to optimize? The short and sweet answer is: all of it . Your website should be full of references to your relevant keywords as well as industry insider terms - not industry jargon and boasts, but helpful information that your visitor can use in their decision making. Aside from on-page content, other important places to apply keyword optimization are your Page file name (URL), Page Title, Meta Tags, Headings, and image alt tags. Don't try to optimize every page for every relevant keyword on your list. The best practice is to select a focused group of a few relevant keywords for that page's specific content and proceed from there.
- How is SEO Copy Writing different from just writing content? SEO Copy Writing starts with a review of your site's current content and cross references that with your list of relevant keywords and your current rankings for those terms. New content topics are determined by identifying relevant keywords and phrases that are not meeting their organic ranking goals and writing content that incorporates these terms in readable and informative text.
- How does a "Link Building Campaign " help my organic rankings? Creating a network of websites that link to various pages of your website (your home page as well as other content pages of your site), sends a message to the search engines that your website is an "authority" on your particular product or service. The more of an "authority" you become, (more in bound links) the better your organic rankings for relevant keywords will be. To get the best results from your link building efforts, make sure the links to your website contain your relevant keywords. You do not want to be among the thousands of experts on, "click here" or, "learn more". Creating properly formatted in-bound links from relevant websites is a time consuming, labor intensive project that is well worth the effort. It also requires more than a little salesmanship to sell the other website owner on the value added by a link to your website. So, do your homework, make the contacts, be persistent and polite, sell your website's value proposition and, move up in the rankings.
