Search Engine Optimization Tips At Its Best

By Erica Lee


Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is increasingly important these days, as more businesses struggle to secure the highest ranking possible on Internet search engine results. Internet marketing is a fiercely competitive world, and if your business's website is not optimized for maximum web exposure, it will, literally, fall behind the many websites that are. If you want to land your webpage on the coveted first page of search engine results, there are some things you can do to improve your chances by optimizing the site itself (on page), and the off-site direct links (off page). Follow these on and off page search engine optimization tips:

On page:

The title for each page should be catchy and unique. When it comes to applying SEO, the significant aspects that are mostly considered are both the title and the description. The title should be able to have the important keyword phrase to attract the search engine spiders easily and the title description should at least have seventy words.

Work towards picking out the heading keywords and give priority. Use keywords in your headers according to its priority from H1 to H3. You have to be aware that search engine spiders look at header keywords first before identifying important content. Your URLs should also be optimized.

The URLs of your site should have targeted keywords. Each page of your site should have a short, static URL of its own.

Beware of overusing keywords. Keyword density should only be between two and five percent. If you load your content with unnecessary keywords, your site could be ranked lower by search engines, or kicked off altogether.

Off page:

Articles that you have need to be distributed to the other sites. Always remember to put a back link to your site for all the other article that you have placed in article directories since this is a great and inexpensive method to maximize your presence in the net.

Online presence outside of your site is important. This would entail making pages on social networking as well as bookmarking sites in order to garner more internet traffic. Some suggestions are Facebook, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, Linkedin, Youtube and many more.

Have your site listed on applicable directories. Providing a back link on as many directories as possible is an important part of a link building campaign.

Post comments on blogs. Commenting on blogs that somehow pertain to your business's service or product is a great way to speak to online users who are specifically interested in your trade or industry. Be sure to add quality comments and include a back link to your site.
