Search engine optimization also known as SEO has been proven to be one of the most effective free way to drive your businesses online towards a very positive direction. Some have shoved the idea of utilizing SEO because it almost seems so intimidating. This practically happens because of the fact that most are not familiar with how to go about properly using SEO.
Therefore, here are 13 powerful ways to effectively use and improve your SEO for your business online.
- First thing to remember when building a website with SEO in mind is that it is all about text. Spider crawl within your site and what they read are your text, not how pretty your graphics are or how cool your layout is. Therefore, be wary of this.
- For every page on your website, adding descriptive keyword text tag will subsequently improve your SEO. Avoid putting only the name of your blog because no one has the slightest clue of who you are unless you are distinctively famous. Consider putting on keywords that describes the nature of your business or services. These keywords are usually what users tend to key in when specifically finding for information.
- Part of the designing your website should be taken into consideration. Avoid using too many image maps or drop down menus. If you must use them, be sure to include sufficient text link to make up for the lost. These links are eventually what search engine spiders crawled for.
- Don’t bother going nuts about which website extension you need to use. Stuffs like .html, .htm, .php are not what search engines are looking for thus it does not affect your SEO.
- Every page within your website should have link directing back to the homepage. Make sure that you specifically use the same URL address. Linking your sites maps to the main domain page does not require you to include the extension of /index.html relatively.
- Content is king and keywords are the main element to it. Therefore, it is very important that you subsequently provide fresh quality content with somewhat good relevant keywords in it.
- Take note. If your business is effectively conducted within a certain location, you may want to apply this within your keyword as it narrows and draws the users closer to you. As far as we are concern about keywords, the more precise and narrow you can effectively scope your keywords down to, the more targeted your audiences will be and the lesser competitors you would have to face.
- Even thou it is effectively important to place repetitive powerful keywords into your body content, avoid overdoing it. The best advice there is to be is to write naturally. Search engines are smart ‘being’. They will know if you are just cramming your keywords up and making no utter sense in providing quality content. The thing you want to avoid is to find out that they think your website is nothing but a crammed ‘dumpsite’ of keywords.
- Network, network, network. I cannot emphasize more to how important it is to network with other relative websites. Build links with other similar websites that has the similar business entity as yours.
- Remember that SEO is all about keywords. Spiders don’t read pictures. They read text. Therefore even for your links, instead of just saying “Click here”, include a few keywords into it. For example “Click here to make money online” or “Go here to find the most profitable internet business”.
- As I have mentioned about pictures, don’t limit yourself to thinking pictures serves no purposes in contributing to your SEO. Instead, for every picture inserted into your website, provide proper descriptive keyword phrase onto the alt=tag. Search engine spiders inspect pictures by seeking their descriptive tag.
- Before your website is crawled by search engine spider, you have to index it first. You can submit them on the available submission form that will eventually be provided by the search engines themselves. One very essential tip to remember is that whenever you have a high profiled ranked link placed onto your site, you can be sure that your website will be indexed quickly. Imagine how it would be like to have link from CNN.com placed onto your website.
- Whatever happens, do not be too discourage or obsessed with page ranks. Any low ranking website and subsequently make it to the top if you apply the right SEO strategy to it.

Thanks for the tips! Although some of those are common sense, it seems that a lot of people are missing them. For example, I have seen a lot of people wondering why they are not receiving traffic, when they have done so much work on SEO. The answer is simple – their sites are very low on content and without content even the best techniques can’t help you. In my opinion a blogger should write at least once or twice a week.

hi daniel,
thank you for your comments.
yes very true as you skim through , you will find all are just as much as common sense but as you mentioned, alot of people somehow overlooked the fact or that they did not realize the true potential of performing so.
yes indeed they may have overlooked the minor details such as keyword density, targeting and as such. these ‘minor’ details are eventually what sets your websites rank apart from the others.
cheers
have a nice day, daniel.

Great tips on SEO.
“Part of the designing your website should be taken into consideration. Avoid using too many image maps or drop down menus.” I never thought about this, because I never payed any attention to it
These tips will help a lot.
Nabeel
Good info…..
I think that keyword density still plays a major role in most search engines. So make sure the Title, description, and content has relevant keywords in them.
I would go with less keywords than more because the more specific you are the better the search engines will like it.
jason | theBlogQuest.com´s last [type] ..What To Do When Failure Strikes Your Blog – Part 1
hi jason,
thanks for your comment.
yes indeed keyword density plays a great role. Google rank your page based on the specific placement of your keywords. there is a chart that shows practically where Google thinks is the most strategic placement for and they target as such to improve your SEO.
some of which are the title, description and yes the content.
i always try to limit my content and post with one kind of keyword at a time. i try not to mix too many kind of them all into a post cos as you mentioned jason, the more specific you are, the better the search engines spiders tend to crawl better. =)
thanks for you insight,jason.
cheers
have a nice day.

A post which is very Informative is like feast for my eyes. By the way I would also like to add that one should properly frame his/her post title and his post title should contain parts (if not full) of his keywords. Nowadays Google is giving more weight to title than meta keywords and description. I am sure that will help in SEO
Shiva | Web Magazine´s last [type] ..Earn Money From Your Images – In Image Advertising
hey shiva,
thanks for your comments.
yes.. apparently it seems that Google abolish the idea of emphasizing on meta tags because it has been said that many people tend to mis-used it. Google hates that, that is why they came up with all sorts of better sophisticated methods to rank on web page.
It is better and the search results are much more related.
yes indeed, shiva. that would certainly help in improving one’s SEO.
cheers

Hi Febap,
One thing I will add is that submitting a site to the search engine, does not speed up the process of getting indexed. The best way is to get a backlink from a decent PR site which is much better to get crawled and indexed faster. Another extra point would be to have an xml sitemap.
Louis
You’re right. Submitting to search engine does not guarantee that you will rank high. The key here still is to provide valuable content consistently. Content is still the king.
Regards,
Gray
hey louis,
thanks for commenting.
yes indeed submitting a website to search engines do not exactly speed up the increment of its ranking.
Indeed, one of the best way of doing so is getting a sitemap.xml of your website submitted.
As how i have written on in my blog post you can see below =P
exactly, an optimized PR site will indefinitely increase the rate of your website’s ranking much faster. there are many ways to go about it thou however. one should have sheer determination, perseverance and motivation to successfully yield positive results in any ways.
thanks for sharing your part of the point , louis.
cheers

To be honest, not a new tip but still useful
#13 Page ranks is until now very important for every webmaster, even they said they are not obsessed. It is the fact nowadays, but you are right, we shouldn’t be obsessed with this.
First useful contents for our visitor, Page rank will follow.
Keep up the good post

I realize this article is about SEO, which is why you included “no drop down menus”; search engines do not like them.
However, I would not include them at all. Human user navigation ease is equally if not more important overall, and drop downs, when place accordingly, can be a huge help.
Dennis Edell | Direct Sales Marketing´s last [type] ..Organization is a MUST I’m Taking Time Off…Line
hey dennis,
thanks for your comment.
well apparently it is inevitably true that the use of appropriate drop down menus will ease the search navigation for readers. if that is the case of it, really there is no harm going for it.
as human, we have to tweak and change a bit. No point being too rigid and play by the rule book,aye. =)
however, such drop down menus shouldn’t be used too excessively.
Many of who may question of which dumb fool would actually do such a thing?
lol..believe me i have come across such websites and those drop down menus practically filled up the whole page. =P
cheers, Dennis.

Great post buddy! All true points here.. People mostly resort to spamming with keywords when it comes to SEO, but writing in the natural flow is advised.
Also, most people are obsessed with Page Rank, but it is just one of the 200 metrics for SEO.. So it need not be taken seriously!
