Search engine optimization tips for beginners
Getting a website in top is a thing that every webmaster would love to
achieve. Achieving top rankings for your favorable keywords is not a very
difficult task but its hard to decide from where to start with and it
may land you it totally different part of the globe if you doesn’t
follow the webmaster guidelines set by major search engines for webmasters
and search engines
optimization experts or companies. In this article I am posting few
search engine optimization tips for beginners but these tips are equally
beneficial for any SEO professional.
1. Don’t purchase new domains: If
you are trying to get your website ranked in engines and so far you don’t
have any substantial success, then don’t try to go and try your
luck in new domain. Reason here is that search engine give value to the
age of the domain and hence it’s recommended to try figuring out
things that may be hurting your website’s reputation over search
engines. However there may be circumstances when you may need to start
new domain under such situation using permanent redirect to your new domain
is recommended to minimize the loss of traffic from search engines.
2. Do extensive keyword research: Spend good amount of
time in keyword research and go in as much detail as you can while researching
keywords. Don’t select keywords that can bring traffic but brainstorm
keywords that can bring you sales. Over years of experience in search
engine marketing I have seen that lots of keywords bring you traffic but
there are couple of keywords that can bring business, revenue for you.
Thus analyze your website traffic to shortlist the keywords that bring
you business. Ranking at the top of search engines for these keywords
make the actual difference.
3. Use different title and meta tags: Each page of your
website needs to have unique title and meta description tags. Your title
tag should contain important keywords included in the content of your
web pages. One more important point to be taken care is that it’s
the title tag of a webpage that will prompt any visitors to click your
website at search engine result pages.
4. Don’t over optimize: Never optimize your website
rather optimize for your targeted audience. This is one of the common
instructions by all major search engines for webmasters.
5. Write Search engine friendly code: Make you website
code search engine friendly by preventing excessive use of images, flash,
java script menus or links. Use alt and title attributes and images and
links. Validate your website HTML, XML and CSS.
6. Use webmaster tools: Evaluate your SEO campaign by
using tools like google analytics, webmaster central, yahoo site explorer
etc. These tools are very much helpful for webmasters in their SEO campaigns.
7. Get quality links: All of us know off-page optimization
is very crucial part of any SEO campaign however only quality links count
and contribute to your website’s PR and search engine rankings.
Any off-page activity, be it link
building, social media
marketing, directory submission
etc. take care of quality always.
