When focusing on natural search engine optimization, it is vital that you keep the process “white hat.” You see, when it comes to SEO you have three schools of thought: White hat, Gray hat, and Black hat. As you can probably infer, white hat is following the rules, gray hat is a small in between, and black hat is going against parameters that Google and other major search platforms have set for ethical SEO practices.

So why should you avoid black and gray hat tactics? In many cases they involve illegal activities that can get you or your company in major distress. In addition, websites that are using black and gray hat SEO tactics will often times get banned from Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

So, with that said, what are some natural search engine optimization techniques that can keep your website “White hat” and increase your rankings at the same time?

1. Article marketing. You should regularly submit articles to well loved articles directories. This increases the amount of traffic to your website, and also gives you powerful, one way links pointing back to your website. Article directories are often highly relevant to the search networks, thus the link juice you obtain from these articles carry tremendous weight. In addition to this, the articles that you submit to these article directories can often times get listed high themselves for long-tail keyword phrases! Article marketing is one of the best natural search engine optimization techniques that you can use to increase your search engine rankings.

2. Blogging. Blogging is vital for natural search engine optimization, as it provides fresh, unique content for your website on a weekly basis. You should update your blog once per week with keyword rich content that focuses on helping your target market solve a particular problem. By doing this, you will increase your loyal following, as well as boost your rankings.

3. Comment on Do-follow Blogs that Use KeywordLuv. Blogs are typically nofollow, meaning that any links left in a comment will not carry much weight with major search networks. But, some blogs are dofollow, meaning that these links you leave in your comment can really boost your search rankings for your targeted keywords. For example, if your targeted keyword phrase was “Los Angeles Recording Studio” you could leave a comment in this format:

“YourName@Los Angeles Recording Studio.”

It looks odd I know, but Google will read it as a valuable link that contains the keyword phrase you are trying to rank for in anchor text. This natural search engine optimization technique may not seem so natural, but it is perfectly ethical, and will impact your natural optimization campaign in a positive way.

Make sure that you stick to natural search engine optimization techniques, because if you risk going black hat or even gray hat your website can get banned by the major search engines, thus killing your internet marketing campaign. You do not want this to happen, because it cripple your online marketing efforts!

Do you want to take your business to the next level with natural search engine optimization?

Search Engine Optimization & Meta Tags

2 May, 2010  |  Written by Baba  |  under SEO

Every search engine uses it’s own, very specific algorithm to index the websites. All major search engines keep updating their search algorithms quite frequently to give their searchers the best searching experience. Your website’s place in the search result pages depends on it’s calculation from the algorithm it follows. These algorithms are not changing everyday but are evolving into more intelligent and accurate. Yet, the major focus is on the Meta tags of the site.

These Meta tags are not visible when someone browses your web page but the search engines read these Meta tags alone and choose the place of a web page on its search result pages. It does so by finding the relevance of the Meta tags within them and with its contents. The most vital Meta tags are the title, description and keywords. The first thing a search engine looks for is to find a relevance in these meta tags by looking at the keywords used in them and secondly it looks the relevance of the keywords used in these meta tags with the contents of the page.

The Title Tag

The title is the most vital Meta tag of your website. This is the first thing shown on a web page and this is visible to both your visitor and most importantly to the search engine. That’s why it has to be given the utmost importance while search engine optimization is the consideration.

It is always depicted on the left top bar of in the browser window. This tag should include the most relevant keyword about your business. If the most relevant keywords are used in here, your web site will sure get a boost in a search.

Most websites use their company name in the title which in fact, is not something desirable. Because, nobody usually searches for a company name unless it is very well known or some giant multinational.

The perfect title tags should be something between 10-70 characters. It is not so that one can not place a longer title but the search engine would ignore the longer part of the title.

The Title tag should be written for the visitors (people searching for your business or services) first and the search engines second. This should be such as to motivate a click and obviously to favor the search engine indexing too.

Different title tags should be assigned to each page of your website containing its own keywords that relate to that specific page.

Description tag

The description tag should be written in such way that it speaks about the website contents in just one or two sentences.
It should be small and clear that your visitors get a close thought about your site by reading this in a small time.

The description tag should be 100 to 200 characters long. The Meta description tag also has a fantastic role in the SEO of your page. This tag displays the information at a search engine result page (SERP) after a search is performed by a user. So, this should be such as this puts the concise summary of your page. Most search engines truncate longer Description. Remember this while writing this tag.

Same as above every page should have a different description tag in accordance with the contents it holds. This tag has quite some effect on the ranking of your site in Search Engine results. The Search Engine will read your description tag and will check if the keywords or search terms match your title tag and content of your web site. My suggestion is to take the first sentence or two of the contents from your web page and use that for the Meta description content.

Include the most relevant sentences matching with the page contents in description tag instead of stuffing the tag with more keywords. Remember that the Meta Description Tag of a web page must not look just a bunch of keywords, but should contain an informative and concise summary of your web page.

Keywords Tag

The most heavily sought technique in Search Engine Optimization process is Keyword optimization. But at the same time if keywords are too often repeated, chances are that the site gets marked out as “”spam”". But, if your target keyword are not included enough, its ranking will not be optimized. So, with present algorithms which are really smart and intelligent include only those relevant keywords you want to target and make sure that these are included in the contents too.

Use variations of a keyword like watch, watches, wrist watch etc. They are slightly changed keywords and yet don’t render any feeling to the search engine for their being repeated in the tag.

Geographical information (name of the country, city or place) may be used in the keywords. Sometimes it plays a fantastic role when a search is made for a location based business. Or, even brand names, model name of a product can be used in this tag. That also helps when a search is made for a specific product model or brand.

Search engines give different weights to the keywords according to their positions in HTML tags used in the content. For example if a keyword is used in this tag which is present in Heading Tag also has more weight particularly when the same is in H1 tag.

Write your Alt tags of the images and the text links being used in the page such that it includes at least one keyword from the keyword tag. But, remember the same should look just relevant with the image or the hyper link for which it has been written.

The content should have included all of your keywords. The aggregate keyword density (all the keywords used in keyword tag) should be between 20% to 30% but not less than 5% to the best optimized results. But, Density for a single keyword should not be less than 2% and higher than 6%. The best is about 5% with the major keywords and 2% with subsequent keywords.

The Meta tags should be fine tuned with the contents and a excellent relevance is brought about between themselves with a perfect balance between the target audience and the search engines.

These Meta tags have been used really very un-carefully by the spammers, if we commit to use them methodically with the due respect, I hope, we should be able to make ever increasing web traffic on our sites.

On-page and Off-page SEO

15 Mar, 2010  |  Written by Baba  |  under Featured, SEO
No Comments

When it comes to on-page and off-page search engine optimization, keywords are necessary to get a website ranked in Google and other search engines. Keywords are intrinsically related to search terms – words and phrases that people enter into a search engine to find specific information. Most people enter 2 to 5-word phrases in Google to find what they are looking for. Google in turn analyzes all pages in its index and lists the pages which contain those search terms. Each web page usually contains one or two keywords that are repeated more often than others throughout the site. These keywords dictate the “theme” of a website.
In addition, Google analyzes other sites that contain links to your site. Specifically, Google looks to see if the text of a link (the clickable part) that points to your site also contain those same keywords.
Page importance is all about links – their quantity, quality, and strength, which we will discuss later on. This part of the algorithm includes Google PageRank (PR).
Google looks for links that point to your site from other websites. Google believes a link from website A to website B is a “vote” for the importance of website B. In this way, other websites add votes for your website, which in turn helps increase a pages PageRank value on your site. Each page on your site has a PR value. Usually the PR value is the highest for the home page as most people will link to your home page rather than another page on your site.
The more web pages that link to your site, and the more vital in turn those pages are, the more vital Google thinks your site is and hence the higher your PageRank value. Moreover, it is the quality, as well as the quantity, of links that
matter – not all links are valued the same. Keep in mind that PageRank is but a single (albeit vital) factor used in ranking.
Sites that are highly optimized for on-page factors can outrank sites that are less optimized but have higher PageRank.
PageRank value is assigned after comparing every page in the Google index against one another. This is billions and billions of web pages.
Note that PageRank does NOT factor in keywords or phrases used on your site.

The Importance of Keywords in Your SEO Strategy

27 Jun, 2010  |  Written by Baba  |  under SEO

Keywords are vital to your online success. Your goal is to organically (naturally) rank high in Google and in other search engines, so you need to implement certain SEO (search engine optimization) strategies, and keywords will play an vital role in those.

When you conduct keyword research, you’re doing it to learn how your prospective customer is utilizing search engines to find the information or products that they want. You then take the words (and phrases) and use them on your site, to ensure it’s relevant for your target audience.

In the ancient days, keywords could be stuffed and hidden all over a website to trick search engines into helping a site rank high. Now that they’ve caught on, you have to use them with a more whitehat approach or risk getting de-indexed in Google and other search giants.

Where do your keywords generally need to be? Don’t discount Meta tags in your HTML code. These are still vital, but they may not be the most vital tactic to use anymore.

Keyword placement depends on what type of page you’re building. If it’s a web 2.0 property such as a Squidoo lens, Hub Page or Google Knol, then you want a keyword in the URL that you register, in the titles, subtitles and content that you write, and also in any tagging space they give you the opportunity to fill in.

If you’re making a blog post on your blog, then the keyword should be in the URL, too. But you may have to check to ensure that your blog template is using this strategy. Under settings and then permalinks, you’ll be able to set your preferences.

For instance, many blogs default to give your post a number like this: &amp;lt;a <br>target=”_new” rel=”nofollow” <br>href=”http://www.yourblogname.com/?p=123.%20″&amp;gt;http://www.yourblogname.com/?p=123.<br> &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; You’ll need to choose custom structure and enter this code: /%postname%.html – this will make your blog post URL appear with the title of the post, where your keywords will be, like this: <br>&amp;lt;a target=”_new” rel=”nofollow” <br>href=”http://www.yourblogname.com/title-of-blog-post”&amp;gt;http://www.yourblogname.com/title-of-blog-post&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;<br>

Use keywords within all of your content, especially the first paragraph and preferably in the first sentence, so that the initial snippet Google shows has your keyword included (it will appear bold if the person searching uses this exact keyword in their search).

Experts disagree about what density you have in regards to keywords. Some say 2% and others go as high as 10%. What you really need to do is write both human visitors and search engine spiders alike. That means enough keywords so that the searchbots see your content’s relevancy and not so many that it turns off your reader because it reads awkwardly.

Directory Submission – Automated v/s Manual submissions

8 Jun, 2010  |  Written by Baba  |  under SEO

Directory submission service is a specialized service and not a simple data entry job as most people reckon. Directory submission requires precision knowledge of SEO and the skill level comes into play when a limited space is available for submission. Most unskilled or non-seo submitters tend to crop the latter part of the description if its too long without knowing that most times it hurts the campaign and the entire purpose of directory submission is lost by that very SIMPLE looking crop.

A skilled Directory submission service provider will always have 2 sets of the description and anchor ready before he starts submission. This factor is entirely lost while doing an Automated submission. Exactly why one should never try using an Automatic Submission. I believe that manual submissions done precisely taking care of the best available category. The match-making  process is best done with the HUMAN factor.

There are very few directories that allow Automated submission and most have a verification code entry to prevent such process. The Automatic softwares miss out on these directories which comprise of a majority of  the total web directories.

Also noticeable is that directory submission looses its purpose if submitted to the incorrect category – either it is rejected by the moderator or if listed, does not help with the Search Phrase. A wrongly listed website will not pull its weight with the Keyword linked to it. Rather it’s a wasted effort.

SEO – Indispensable For the Good Ranking of Your Site!

Optimization of any site is utterly significant for earning excellent profit. The primary motive of this task is to bring the site to a excellent ranking when searched for a particular product or service. For the purpose of raising the ranking, an SEO company has to accomplish large number of tasks of which the two most vital are the choice of keywords and submission of articles and blogs in various directories available over the web.

The choice of keywords has to be such that it should be really relevant to the site in concern and also, it should be the one having least competition around. The problem with an irrelevant keyword is that you might get too many visitors for it but rarely would any turn into your customer. Proper optimization of your site aids it to be chosen for being one of the top ranker.

Now, proper optimization is not a job that can be successfully done by everyone but it requires a excellent amount of expertise and experience. They need to know all the latest developments and changes taking place in the field. Really, they have to remain updated about the altering search engine rules so as to be capable of applying the most current techniques for optimization.

Based on the ethical issue, the optimization techniques followed by SEO companies in India are bifurcated into two categories – White Hat and Black Hat. The former does not follow any unethical means for achieving excellent results while the latter may use them. Hidden texts are the most common tricks followed by these people taking up the Black Hat SEO techniques. The White Hat tricks are slightly tough to be followed but have long lasting results. Also, the latter tricks are risky as search engines may ban the sites for following illegal means of the trade.

Optimization of a site is never complete as it is an ongoing process and never lasts. Stopping the SEO works for your site may result in a loss of the excellent position it was earlier at. Thus, your business might be hampered once the optimization works are stopped from continuing. The fame of your site is again affected as the SEO professionals make your presence felt in the large number of social networking sites such as the Orkut, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Bebo, LinkedIn and many more. These sites are being so much used that popularity of every organization has a major concern with them.

An SEO company also works throughout your site to make every image and every tag compatible according to the search engines. Site maps, keyword rich contents are all brought into the site by them only such that the search engine spiders like your site and place it to a higher ranked position in the results.

Search engines index millions of pages for particular keywords and your website could be anywhere in the 10th or 20th page, if not optimized for relevant keywords.

What is expert search engine optimization? SEO or search engine optimization starts with coding, designing, and programming a website to ensure that the website appears at the top of search engines and attracts targeted high quality traffic.

This is a daunting task and expert search engine optimization involves the scientific and artistic skills of a company that has the expertise and the high skill set required to perform and succeed at this task.

Being top ranked on the search engines for a keyword that only brings in about 30 people monthly is not what we are talking about. Just as with any form of marketing, expert search engine optimization providers ensure that the return of investment (ROI) is reasonable. It is the duty of the SEO expert to achieve rankings on search engines that really bring enough traffic to the website concerned, to offset the money that is paid for his services.

When choosing a company that provides expert search engine optimization services, it is vital to look into the background of the company. There are hundreds of SEO service providers on the internet today claiming to be experts in search engine optimization. But are they competent enough? I’m worried NOT.

SEO Sitemaps Give Websites a Boost

30 Apr, 2010  |  Written by Baba  |  under SEO

A lot of web pages will find an SEO sitemap useful in improving their performance.  SEO stands for “Search Engine Optimization”, the process that aims to make or revise Internet sites so that it can be better found by search engines.  The objective of SEO campaigns is to have websites appear in the top listing or first results page of search engines.

Internet search engines, such as Google and A9, maintain a very large database of Web pages and available files.  To do this, they devise a program called a web crawler, or spider.  This software automatically and continuously surfs and hunts content in the Web.  Pages that the spider finds are retrieved and indexed according to text content, giving more weight to titles and paragraph headers.  Spiders never stop navigating the web from page to page, to index the relevant content of the Internet.  Besides looking at the text of titles and headers, some programs are able to identify default tags and keep a library of these page keywords or key phrases in the index.

When a user connects to the Internet types a query, which is automatically interpreted as keywords, the search engine scans the saved index and makes a list of web pages that is most appropriate to what the user is searching for.

SEO will use all the combined techniques of keyword analysis, smart code, excellent content literature, link popularity study and website organization to place the subject web page as high as possible in the list of search results in search engines.  Web pages showed on the top of results pages are assumed to get the most attention, and therefore, opportunity for earnings for web businesses and pages with sponsor links.

Search engines usually return a list of results ranking pages according to the number of Internet sites linked to them.  Results can be classified as organic, or sponsored links.  Sponsored links are shown prominently because their creators or agents paid the search engine.  Sponsored links are the main source of income of search engines.  “Organic” search results are the lists of actual results from the engines index and are directly related to the keyword typed in the request.
One of the more effective techniques of SEO is the creation of a well-organized site map in a website.  Since the site’s main page and other content are directly linked to a site map, spiders can more easily go through the website, identify the key words of the content, and index these for a search engine.  This is where the SEO sitemap helps the website creator or administrator.

Site maps are usually pages filled with links.  These are shown as tables or lists, although lists are generally more effective.  Writing code for SEO sitemaps is very simple and simple to format and maintain.  These are ideally basic HTML pages with default tags, logical titles and keywords scattered in the Meta description.  Introduction areas can contain more of the keywords.  The site should have a main heading for every directory.

A simple list layout helps reduce unnecessary tags that might “hide” your keywords.  Some spiders give more weight to the following, than text in the normal body of the webpage:  heading text, content within link elements, text nearer the top of the page and the text written for a link.  Therefore, writing the keywords and links in these areas could somehow go up the web page’s ranking.  This goes for SEO sitemaps as well.

Web sites should be designed consistently, so navigation models should follow the flow of the site map.  Therefore, the first section in the site map should be the first link in the navigation bar.

In an SEO Sitemap, and most pages, the headings contain title attributes where more key phrases in the site map can be added. Keywords are generally well chosen and written in the body of a webpage.  But, in an SEO site map with small text, key words should be added as much as possible.  As much as possible, web links should follow web page titles, and must undergo SEO during coding.  Care must be exercised not to cram the page with keywords and links, or the page will be interpreted as blatant spamming and not receive any traffic at all.

There is no way to guarantee that a website will be shown in the topmost ranking of “organic” search results for an extended period of time.  But, smart and responsible SEO sitemap techniques can be used to place the website high up in the search position.  Regular monitoring and adjustment of the SEO Sitemap and search results would ensure that a website is kept near the top ranking and receiving lots of web user traffic.
