- SEO Made Easy - Simple steps to follow for effective Search Engine Optimization -
1. Posting content of quality
Make sure that you provide your readers with quality content and update your content frequently. Providing content that is rich, will help to entice people to read your content. If they learn something new, you'll increase your chances that they will link to you!
02. Research your targeted keywords
You must utilize keyword research in order to target your audience. Learn the terms of what those people use in that niche and research those terms for keywords and use them in your page content and meta tags.
03. Proper usage of effective titles
Make sure that your title reflects to what your page content is. Your title should contain some of your keywords and make sure that those keywords are also included in your page content. Title tags should use the (h1) tag for effective SEO.
04. Don't use an excessive amount of Java and flash
Remember that search engines, favor "text" and it's difficult for them to crawl flash and Java. If you choose to use images, remember to use the "alt" tag attribute! Be sure to use some of your keywords in your "alt" tags, but don't over do it!
05. Use a robots.txt file
Make sure to provide a robots.txt file that will instruct the search engine's crawlers of what to index on your site. There is no sense to have the crawlers waste time crawling things that serve no importance and just end up wasting bandwidth.
06. Use clean HTML code and Semantic markup
Make it easy for crawlers to crawl your site with proper markup that validates. Move all of your CSS into a CSS style sheet to eliminate bloated code that slows down the indexing process. Also, try to move java scripts to the bottom of the page when ever possible. The closer your title and meta tags are to the top of the page are, is better for SEO.
07. Don't use SEO techniques that are black hat based
Stay away from tactics that try to trick the search engines to get better rankings and traffic. Don't ruin any of the hard honest work that you have done and end up getting penalized by the search engines.
08. Learn to be patient
When you make changes to your site, it can take some time for the search engines to update your information and publish the results. Keep your focus on your readers and make sure that you continue to offer them content that is of quality!
SEO Optimization, when done properly will increase your organic web traffic and improve your search engine rankings.
