Basic Search Engine Optimization

nuwinda — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 01:41:28 +0000

Do you have a web site? so how can you list your site on the search engines and get more traffic to your site. It is pointless if you have a site and no SEO(search engine optimization). You don’t need to be a SEO Guru to list your site on the top of the search engine listing. Just spent few hours a week on your site and search posibilities for marketing your site on the net.

Reason why you need your web site on the search engines is pepole need to hear what you have to say. This could be about your thoughts, your believes, your product or your services. Whatever the reason, if you have a site, search engin optimization is must.

This article will help you to list your site on popular search engines like google, yahoo and bing.

First add your site to search engines. below is link to google, yahoo and bing.

Yahoo : http://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/submit

Google : http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl

bind : http://www.bing.com/webmaster/SubmitSitePage.aspx

Search more search engines and add your site to more search enines. Most of the search engines give there listing free of charge.

Adding a site to search engine is not enough, Next you need to fix your web site pages so that search engines can easly grab data from your site.

Competitor positions

Search engines will examine your web page following areas, in order to list your web site in their search engine.

Meta Title
Meta keywords
Meta description
Page title
Header tags
Bold text
Keyword weighting
Alt tags
Keywords prominence
File names
Link anchor text

So when you design your web page make more attention to those parts of your web page. Search engines also give a significant weight on followings

Link anchor text
PageRank
Quality of the site(This means proper standard when building a site{W3})
Relevance of the links
Number of other links on the page

Your web page

Todays search engines use various types of elements on your web site.

So keep in mind that you are on your subject on all above elements. For example remove your site name from page title and include a best keyword that match your page. Use image alt tags to include best description. Make sure to include best match keywords for your meta tags, rather than using your site name or your name on it.

Another thing that matters most is how other web sites on the search engine sees your site. So make sure you have links from other web sites relevent to your sites topics. When doing this do not spam on other web site. Just check similer web sites. For example if you have a web site that offers Cakes, search for cake related sites insted of IT related sites. Search forums, blogs about cakes and add share you links with them.

Make a habit to include external style sheets or external javascripts, so search engines can search your page faster by omiting unnecessory scripting.

About GOOGLE

Todays search engines are too smart, if you use same keyword over and over in a pattern on your web pages, smart search engines like google can identify un-natural web pages and you may not rank your site on top listing. You can include same word with different ways. Google can find this same word in defferent ways.

For example:

Search engine optimization
SEO
Natural Search engine optimization
Organic SEO
Search engine optimisation

All above will give you same meaning. You don’t need to enter SEO in everywhere to rank on google. Google will understand what you mean by above listing, so Google know that your site is natural and more likely it will give you more relevance to your web page.

When searching your keywords it is easy to search on the net and copy keywords from other sites that list on the first page of the search engine. But don’t do this, it s a big mistake. Do some keyword research and then add them to your site. Do not target single word keyword. Use multi words such as insted of useing SEO use search engin optimization techniques. It is a good thing that you know your compatitors keywords but do not copy and paste them just use what best for your site.

Read this for more information about google search engine optimization. Follow google web master guidlines to ensure you are doing perfect Google SEO.

Have Fun !!!
