SEO 9 Steps

SEO- 9 Easy Steps to the Top


Search Engine Optimization companies are making a fortune by doing the menial work that is overlooked by many website designers.  By learning the tricks of the trade with your website prior to getting it made you will have saved yourself a fortune on  SEO in the future.

Remember, the internet is changing every day.  The movement is with  the webcrawlers that read the pages of the website for the Keywords and phrases.

There are 9 main points you should focus on:

• Keywords
• URL Text
• Description, Meta tags
• Title tags
• Image Names
• ALT tags
• Heading tags
• Content
• Hyperlinks

The focus of these 8 steps is to load your pages with as many "keywords" as possible.

Remember what I have said Content is KING.

Keywords
Keywords are the most important aspect of good SEO, this is where you tell the Search Engines what your site is about. Search Engines use an algorithm to determine the "Keyword Density" of your site, this formula is:

Total Words ÷ Keywords= Keyword Density  See if you can work prior to creating your website some of the language and keywords for your industry. It could be as easy as downloading the Alexa Toolbar to your computer and checking out the other websites of your competitors then by pressing into the Alexa site you will see the keywords that are coming up for their websites that are making the difference.  Look at the Google search percentage?  Yes, the key is the plan and when your website content management system can be updated you can be in control however many people think they can not learn this new technology easily.

Use this formula on your competitors web site and see how they score, then aim to beat that score.

Choose keywords that best relate to the information, products or services that you are offering. For instance, if I am designing a site about "Web Design", I want my site to include the words "Web Design" as many times as possible.  Remember this is your branding, the branding is the slogan, the keywords you are wanting to mark to your company and image.

However, most people don't just search for just one word, they type phrases for the search engines to pick up, so you should consider the phrases that best suit your sites target market.  Another way around this is to not separate my keywords with commas, just use spaces, and the Search Engines will make the phrases for you.  Remember the search engines are moved by the Social networking that is connecting to names.  If you have employees give them a page with a name, a face, a bit about them is away to pick up on these social networking sites.  These are a way to have many sites linking in to your website.  Many sales people find this very important for the leads will come when the website is ranking high enough you are then going to be noticed.

The most important thing to remember is that the content of each page is different, so only use keywords pertaining to that page.  The Website Crawlers pick out the keywords which are words that are searched for.  This is not your way of searching, it's how your leads will be 
coming into your website.

Check out your images, think about the names you are going to utilise for the website as this is what the webcrawlers see and connect into for the search engines to be the most effective for you.

Example for Website ranking

http://www.armstronglegal.com.au/

This company has employed now a fulltime website SEO to bring up the website to rank number 1 in Australia.

Armstrong Legal is a  legal firm in Australia.  I have utilised their website a bit.

If you look under your Alexa Toolbar you will see that the site has not been claimed by the owners.

What I am showing is where this website could do better if it was claimed by the owner.  I have found that the claiming of the website is harder than what it should be.  So if you don't succeed at the first time, try, try again.

This will allow Google to have a person attached to the website.

These are the Key words from the website.

<meta name="keywords" content="Criminal Law, Criminal Lawyers, Criminal Lawyer Sydney, Family Law, Family Lawyers, Family Lawyers Sydney, Traffic Law, Traffic Lawyers, Traffic Lawyers Sydney, Corporate Crime, Corporate Crime Lawyers, Legal Representation, Armstrong Legal, NSW" />

What Alexa shows us is the Keywords that the webcrawlers see upon the website.


KeywordPercent of Search Traffic
  1.  character reference3.52%
  2.  kogarah local court2.69%
  3.  armstrong legal2.40%
  4.  character witness letter template2.25%
  5.  mantaj1.97%



What I have found, that the Google noting of the keywords is different to websites thereby the full potential of this website is being missed.

The content is not directed enough for the keywords.  You can not fool Google.

150 Sites linking in, however You Tube is not linked in.  Now that is a site that is running 3 within Google.

You tube is watched and surfed by so many people today with the smart phones it is a free marketing and advertising tool that many will not think of, however it could be relevant to pushing your website higher within the search rankings.



Day 9 Website Promoting



Day 9

Check out where your website is listing within the Alexa Toolbar.  I found that by adding this Toolbar I too can look up the top search results of websites in similar businesses.  The competition is marked by me within the website.

You have to see how your competitor's are moving the website within the Crawlers.  Look at the content even the keywords as these are the keywords you are needing to have on your website.

You could have a terrific website however if the keywords are not being picked up then you have to try other keywords.

Images are not seen by the webcrawlers today.  It's the SEO on the image is seen, and the description however the website needs to have the content that the website crawlers are seeing.

Linking your site, to your blog, your Author's page on Amazon are two ways for the interlinking.
Website Crawlers see the websites that want to link to your website, this is running website through many of the Search engines as you can find.  Many of the Web designers don't do this.  This is also a good way to have the content of your website backed up on a blog that you are linking into for the day when the website comes down just by accident you will have a copy.
