Today we learn about Seo Marketing and how to increase our website rank.Here some for getting the best way to popular your website by seo.
Some Rules For SEO :
Title tags & meta description are extremely important for SEO, not just because the search engine spider gives them big attention, but also because search engine users do the same. The average person will usually pick the most attractive result among the first 3, so to get your webpage a better CTR, make sure to follow these points:
Make an Eye-Catching title & description: Remember that the average user will choose the most eye-caching title and description among the first 3 results!
Include your main keyword: This is repeated everywhere because it’s really important. Make sure to include your primary keyword in the title and also in description, but also don’t write it more than once on each(twice maximum if you had to).
Limit title to 65 characters: Though the limit in Google is 69 characters, other search engines like Yahoo shows only the first 65 characters and cut the rest, so try to aim for a 65-characters title or less.
Limit description to 160 characters: For the same reason above, also limiting your meta description to 160 characters is important for a better SEO and a better CTR.
Title structure: Put your webpage title at first, then put your brand name. Just like WizIMS do, for example “All On-Page SEO Tips | WizIMS”
(2) Alt Tags
Another important thing you can do to show Google’s spider that your content is related to the desired keyword(s), is by adding alt tags to your images. Make sure to put your primary keyword in one alt tag, and it’s even better to include your secondary keywords in the other images alts.
Pay attention : Do NOT over use this with the same keyword. Putting the same keyword in all your images in the same page may rise a red flag to Google, so make sure to put different keywords for each image.
If possible, it’s even better if you put an alt tag which actually explains the image. Because they can bring you targeted visitors via Google images. (If your image is unrelated to the alt tag, people won’t click it in the Google images for the specific keyword, and it’ll just drop in the SERPs).
So bottom line, if it’s possible to add an alt tag which is both a keyword and an explanation of the image, then go ahead and add it. (It’s fine to have 3-4 words alt tags).
How to add the alt tag to images ?
For those who don’t know how to add an alt tag to the image, here’s an example:
alt=”Internet Marketing”>
(3) Headings (H1 / H2)
headings h1 h6
Another important factor for your on-site SEO is how you use the headings. Again, you want to show Google what are the keywords your page is about (primary keywords), and what also can be found in your webpage content (secondary keywords).
To do this, put your primary keyword(s) in the H1 tag- e.g.
Buy Online Shoes
and try to include your secondary keywords in the H2 tags- e.g.
Buy Cheap Shoes Online
Make sure not to do this in a spammy way because it’ll just look suspicious to search engines and crappy to your readers, so put efforts to make it look good for both humans and spiders.
(4) Keyword Density
keyword density
Most people think that the more they throw their keyword in their article the better it is for SEO, and that’s totally wrong.
If you repeat your keyword(s) too often, it will just annoy your users and raise a red flag to the search engines. But in the other hand you should mention you keyword(s) in the article when it’s suitable so that search engines could at least know what your webpage is about.
To make this balance, make sure to have the keyword density in your webpage between 3% to 8%.
(5) Keywords’ Similarities
It’s obvious that Google can recognize the keyword’s synonyms, slangs, and different forms of the word.
For example, if you search the keyword “Bf”, the first 2 results talk about Battlefield:
bf keyword
Or, if you Google for example the keyword Shop, the first result includes doesn’t even have the word “Shop”, it has another form of the word (“Shopping”).
(6) Internal Linking (Interlinking)
internal linking interlinking
It is essential to make it easy for search engine’s spider to travel in your website pages and find them easily. The best way to do that is to have a sitemap along with strong internal links inside your webpages. This will make it easy for spider to visit all of your website pages, and shows it that it is also easy for the users to travel among your website.
Internal linking means to link your website pages together. When I link to Tools, this is one example of an internal link.
In WordPress and other CMS, the classic structure makes this easier for you (Check for example WizIMS internal links).
This hasn’t to be over-done, just make sure it’s easy for the user to travel among your website, and Google will give you the credit.
(7) Sitemap
For the same purpose that we use interlinking, the sitemap helps the search engine’s spider to crawl all of your webpages easily by showing them all the pages URLs in upfront.
The sitemap also tells the spiders how often each of your webpages gets updated, and how important each one is. According to my experience, for new sites, spiders won’t really believe what your sitemap claims (about update frequency and pages priority), therefore it is important to put real values in the sitemap so you can gain the spider’s trust in the long run.
How to make a sitemap?
For those who don’t know how to make a sitemap:
1) Generate a new sitemap to your website using a sitemap generator.
2) Download the file that you’ve made, and rename it to sitemap.xml
3) Upload sitemap.xml to your root domain (e.g. http://wizims.com/sitemap.xml)
*It’s even better if you submit your sitemap to Google webmaster tools if you have one.
*For WordPress users, it’s much easier to use the Google sitemap generator plugin.
(8) Quality External Links
You want to show Google that you honestly want to share quality related content with your users. One of the ways to do that, is by linking to another websites.
When I say external links, I don’t mean linking to weak websites and/or your same Class C IP websites as that can just harm your SEO.
In other words, when you have the opportunity to link to a website, do that. Just make sure that the webpage you are linking to is authority (high PR), and related to your content.
Please pay attention to the following before adding the external link(s) :
Try to link to related webpages, ones that have your keywords.
Try to link to webpages with High PR only (PR 4+).
Link to authority websites only (Wikipedia is ideal).
It’s okay to have do-follow external links if the sites you are linking to are trusted by Google.
Also make sure to ignore the following :
Don’t link to a competitor webpage – Search your target keyword in Google and make sure the webpage you are linking to isn’t in the top 20.
Don’t link to your websites – Google can easily track that, so make sure to link to external webpages only.
(9) Robots.txt File
robots.txt importance picture
With the content you put in the “robots.txt” file, you can tell the search engine’s robots (spiders) to or not to crawl specific webpages in your website.
I recommend upload the “robots.txt” file even if you want to have all of your webpages indexed, just to show Google that you are serious here :) , and in this case, here is what you should put in the “robots.txt” file:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
Sitemap: http://YourWebsite.com/sitemap.xml
If you want, just copy and paste this to a “robots.txt” file and upload it to your website root (e.g. “wizims.com/robots.txt”).
If you want a custom one, you can simply make it with a robots.txt generator.
(10) SEO-Friendly URLs
Another great way to show Google that your page’s content is relevant to the desired keyword, is by including your keyword in your URL.
If your keyword is a combination of 2 or more words,I find it better to separate the words dashes (“-”).
An example of a perfect URL, in case we are targeting the keyword “Skin Care” :
http://wizims.com/skin-care
This will also attract the users in search engines, as they will see part of your URL in bold when they search for your desired keyword.
Another important thing, if possible, is to include your main keyword in the domain name (e.g.SkinCareOnline.com), this will give your website a big advantage over your competitors.
(11) Content is the WizIMS
Replaced “King” with “WizIMS”, just a lame joke.
Again, I know this is repeated everywhere, but there is a reason for that..
Having a quality, unique and relevant content on your webpage is one of the most crucial on-site SEO factors. Before writing your webpage’s content, pay attention to the following :
Don’t fill your webpage with plain text; both visitors and Google would love to see pictures and other stuff in the webpage.
If possible, aim for at least 500 words in each webpage. You can check your word count using ourword counter.
Include your keyword when it’s suitable, just don’t do that too much, your keyword density should range between 5% and 8%.
Try to focus on your grammar and spelling. Google can easily recognize grammar and spelling mistakes, and for that, it can underestimate your website authority.
Needless to say, avoid duplicate content. Google will hate you for that.
Try to avoid putting the same content on different pages of your website.
(12) Google Adsense
It might sounds weird and unfamiliar, but think again please, what is the main goal of all companies? Growth and money of course. Google can bring huge amount of money and growth to Google Adsense just by “preferring” websites with Adsense on.
Some people might disagree with me, claiming that “A big, respected company like Google won’t harm it’s search quality for money”. But the thing is, I’m not saying that you’ll beat Wikipedia simply putting Adsense on, I’m just assuming that Google “prefers” the website with Adsense on, totally logic.
(13) 404 Pages
Sooner or later, the search engine spider will get to a page on your website that doesn’t exist. You don’t want to have a dead-end page that just shows the error and leads nowhere.
To fix this, you can either redirect all of your 404 pages to your homepage, or to have some links in the 404 page that points to your categories and/or most important pages.
