SE Made Easy For Novices

SEO or Search Engine Optimisation is the term used for making a website specially designed for easy indexing by search engines. All businesses are very aware that their websites can reap huge profits by using SEO to improve their ranking on search engines.


Given below are five tips that will help even a novice benefit from SEO Optimization


1. Page Title Optimisation When the search engine spider crawls on to the your page, the first thing it sees or reads is your page title.  It goes without saying that your page title has to be SEO friendly.  This is of prime importance if you want your page to have any kind of ranking on the internet.  Your page title should accurately describe what your website deals in, and it should be sleek.  It should focus on the main subject, product and key phrases.  This is what gets your page indexed by the spider.

The tag is placed in one part of your .html page.  This is the most important step to optimizing your website.  This tag is what Google indexes, and so do other search engines.


Therefore your page title needs to use these keywords
1.    Content heading

2.    Paragraph tags
For example, if you have a health and weightloss website, you should use key words like “lose weight naturally”, “permanent weight loss” in both your heading and your paragraph tags.

2. Text Links or Anchor Text Do not make the common mistake that novices often do.  When linking your pages together, do not simply link with a “click here” or “read this to understand more”.  Use more text describing the product and show how the other page is related to what you are selling.  Link with a “click here to learn more about easy and effective exercises” or “Let me show you how to get rid of those excess pounds”

3. Content is King Have loads of relevant content since this is the important factor of SEO.  In fact if you have excellent content the crawlers will find your page regardless of the fact that it is optimized or not.

4. Incoming Links Spread some link love, buy some link love.  Search engines love the “genuine authority” that they feel your website gets from having other pages linked to your website.  If you can get established businesses linking your website, it will get you top ranking.  You need to develop those backlinks.

5. Build your brand by file names Name your pages.  Each page is searched separately.  Here is a scope for self advertisement.  Have your main landing page named “Lose Weight The Natural Way” and the next one, “Permanent Weight Loss_Lose Weight the Natural Way” and so on and so forth.  This will not only build your brand, it will also help you get top ranking.  Use dashes, underscores etc.  Google treats them as valid extensions and you can use this information to help yourself.

Apply this information and you will soon achieve good ranking with search engines.

 
SEO Optimisation, what does it mean?

SEO i.e. search engine optimization is a way through which your website can get more traffic and target visitors toward it. It is not simple to make your website search engine optimized but the basic meaning of SEO is that, if you optimize your site, it will definitely get the higher ranking in the search engine which will in turn bring more traffic to your site.


SEO has now become a highly refined art.  It involves using of key words that the search engine crawlers will read.  These keywords are relevant to your business and the products you sell.  These key words are then indexed by the search engines and when a person searching for something in your niche types the keyword in the search box, your site comes up as a relevant site in that area.


How high your site is in the search engine ranking depends on how well you have optimized your site by using the relevant key words. So this all depends on the relevance of your keyword and how often a visitor uses it in his search of your niche.  If you are selling guitars, your key words have to be guitar, chords, music, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, guitar strings and so on.  It definitely will not help your site if you used any unrelated key word like piano chords.  They also pertain to music but do not have any relevance to your niche.


Remember that your key word has to be relevant for SEO optimization of your website. People who are searching for products related to your keyword are already ready to buy and once they visit your website, they may just like the product you are selling and purchase it.


However, that being said, you may optimize your website using SEO but there is such a thing as overdoing it.  Stuffing your website with key words will make your content clunky and prove counterproductive.  The search engine crawlers may just ignore your website.


Using of SEO can take 30 minutes or it can become permanent task for you. If you are efficient or master of perfect keywords then routine SEO is enough to get your website higher in ranking in search engine. But if you are not efficient or adept at the art, then you have to give time and effort to SEO in order to get your site optimized. If you find it difficult, hire an expert to optimize your website for you.


Search engine differ from humans. Search engines can’t feel design of site or listening of sounds in the site. They simply crawl from web page to web page and ‘read” a particular text in order to get idea of the site.


The functions performed by search engines are indexing, crawling, calculating, processing, retrieving and relevancy.
First the search engine sends a spider or a bot, which crawls and reads the content, storing the keywords for indexing.  It also checks out all the links.  This is a fully automated process which happens perhaps once a month or may be more. This information is then indexed for use of searchers. Once a person types the keyword, the search engine lists the page as per how it feels it is relevant to the keyword or phrase being searched.

Good Web Design Creation

There are many options to design website which range from simple designs using website templates and build your own site to complex e-commerce web design that many big brand companies use. There are many companies which have unprofessionally designed website or some have attractively designed website but there is problem of high graphical images and minimum matter which take time to load. Minimum contents do not make a website relevant to the visitor’s expectations. Therefore. it is essential to take care of all things in designing a website whether you are designing by yourself or by other web designing company.


There are many features of web design that may differ from one site to another. However, some features remain the same in all websites. The navigation and menu of website are the special features that make website different from one another. Navigation features of a website menu should essentially be interactive to keep visitor stick to the contents and maintain interest. It is the prime expectation of visitors to enjoy an easy navigation and use of site besides a pleasant look.


The visitors do not want to learn use of website every time whenever they open a new site. The loading of web pages should also be fast because if it takes too much time to load the visitor become bored and leave the website. The website should have ability to attract its visitors and after few seconds of look a visitor should understand how to use a website. It is just like your shopping where if shopkeeper does not hear you for 5 minutes then you decide to leave shop and search for the next one. The website should be designed using innovative skills consisting of company’s unique services which can be easily recognized, easy navigation of pages and attractive contrasting of colors, textures and font size.  


Now there is continuous advancement is going on in web design. Different tools and technologies are used to make pleasing and efficient websites. To create high level of visual effect, flash animation and video contents of high definition are used to make website impressive. But flash animation affects loading of pages. It usually slows down loading of web pages. In the bottom of web page you will find a progress bar which shows how much processing of loading a page is done.
However there is an argument while using flash animation. It affects search engine optimization of the websites. There is one file in web page where all flash web designs are made up and this file is easily not indexed by search engine. Another point is that there is generally graphical text within the flash which is difficult to access by search engine. Cumulative effect is that websites usually are not able to come in high ranking of search engine.


Web design should be done in such a way that visitors get impressed at first sight. It totally depends upon how images, features and relevant contents are arranged within web page. Different web pages in website should be arranged in correct sequence. Searching tools within the website should be accurate. It means that whenever visitors want to search anything they should immediately get accurate things that they want to search.
