October 28, 2012October 28, 2012

Creating search-engine-optimized web pages should be the top priority of a successful internet marketing campaign. Taking care of technical factors such as filenames, title tags, meta description tags, meta keyword tags, and meta robots tags is crucial to making sure the search engine spiders can determine the relevance of your web site. Optimizing your content with header tags and other text modifiers allows you to stress the main ideas and topics that your content covers. Choose Filenames Every Web page that you create is stored in a file. Every file has a name. Using filenames that are relevant to the content of your web page is important for numerous reasons. Besides your domain name, the search engine spiders see your filenames before anything else. If filenames are not relevant to the content contained on the pages, the search engines can algorithmically detect disconnect.

Why Do You Need A Sitemap?

October 20, 2012

You can create a sitemap to function as an outline or index of your entire website. You should structure it using the same hierarchy that you used when you created you website structure. Start of with your home page and build out from there with all the pages linking to it. Name it sitemap.html or sitemap.php. Such names help the search engines to recognize that the file is indeed a sitemap. Automatic sitemap generators like the one at www.xml-sitemaps.com help automate this process.

Building Quality Back Links

October 19, 2012January 29, 2013

Save yourself a tremendous amount of time and effort by acquiring a few high-quality, authoritative links versus a large quantity of low-quality links that are not related to your web site. You can easily build a huge quantity of links back to your page by either manually submitting or purchasing software that mass-submits your web page to thousands of online guest books, forums, blogs, directories, and other link sources. However, this type of activity is often detected as span by search engines and therefore should be avoided. Search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated and capable of detecting the difference between natural, relevant links, and unnatural, irrelevant links such as those typically submitted by software. Just one or two high-quality links can provide the same if not greater search-engine-optimization benefit than hundreds of low-quality links. All the major search engines, particularly Google, embrace this approach to link building.
