Seven Basic SEO Tips on Optimizing Your Site
Posted 28th October 2011 at 11:52 PM by gchagasteam
Here are the seven basic SEO tips that will help you optimize your site.
1- If your business is not the type that requires you to refresh the content of your website regularly, you need to have a blog in the website to make sure you are producing fresh content. Search engines will place your site higher on search results pages when you regularly generate new content.
2- To avoid your site from being ignored by web crawlers, you should refrain from stuffing too many keywords into your web pages. Many advanced web crawlers will ignore sites that are packed with keywords. Keywords are essential if you are using them correctly, but they can also hurt you if you overdo them.
3- Set forums and blog comments to automatically insert the nofollow attribute into any links users create. Forum and comment spam are a constant problem, and setting nofollow on discussion pages prevents spammers from harming your own site's rank by linking to spam sites that sell dodgy products and services.
4- Bold your keywords to allow search engine crawlers an easier hunt. Crawlers are intelligent, but sometimes they may have difficulty recognizing what your keywords are. To alleviate this issue, highlight your keywords by putting them in bold. It will make them easier to find, take less time for the crawler, and put you higher in the rankings.
5- Use Google Maps and similar services to promote your website. When people look for a local business, your name is going to come up. Include a link to your website in the description, to allow visitors to learn more about your services. You should get visits from local people who are potential customers.
6- If you want to be really successful with Internet marketing, you will not only have to learn SEO, but also how to successfully use these methods to increase your site's rankings. Optimizing your business for search engines is how you optimize your business for customers. A lot of businesses do not realize this fact.
7- Optimize your posts using h1, h2, and h3 headings with your keyword. Add images and make sure to add a ALT tag to them. Decorate your post with bold, italic and underline keywords. It may sound very hard to do all that but it’s really not. There is a plugin for wordpress called SEOPressor that will guide you all the way and help you create a Google friendly post like this.
