30 Golden SEO tips

Welcome to the web's top SEO tips - the best and most comprehensive SEO guide on the internet for increasing your web site's traffic.




SEO consists of two fundamental elements: producing search-engine-friendly content and obtaining high-quality inbound links. There is a third element that you should take seriously: staying on the right side of Google and avoiding Google penalties at all costs, since Google is the foremost search engine and getting banned is pretty much a death sentence for a web site, especially if it is a young web site without an established following. If you follow the SEO tips in this article your web site will attract a lot of traffic from the search engines and will grow exponentially.

A. Producing search engine-optimised content

1. Produce excellent copy

Your content should be written extremely well; great copy writing is the heart and soul of SEO. Firstly, excellent writing is better for your users and is more likely to attract inbound links. Secondly, Google has ways, some of them very subtle, of determining just how good and useful a piece of writing is (see latent semantic indexing). Write with your users in mind, with a view to giving them the best and most useful experience possible. With regard to Google's subtle ways of assessing the quality of a piece of writing, you should avoid using the same keywords again and again, even if it feels natural to do so. Instead, you should use of a variety of synonyms for every keyword. This makes your writing more readable and interesting, and also persuades Google that your content is not run-of-the-mill spam, but authoritative and useful.

2. Content is king

The only thing Google respects is high-quality text with some links pointing to it. Google considers web sites that constantly add content much more useful than web sites that add content infrequently. For this reason you should set yourself a realistic target for the production of new content and stick to it. Depending on how ambitious you are, you can aim for one new page of content per day or per week. Whatever you choose, remember that Google likes fresh content. It has an intrinsic preference for web sites that focus on creating new content over web sites that keep tweaking their existing content again and again. In other words, Google wants to see that you are working on producing new content, not on optimizing content that you already have on your web site. The ideal word count for each page is between 500 and 1500 words.

3. Use the Google sandbox

The Google sandbox is an incredibly useful tool that suggests keywords and key phrases on the basis of what people have been searching recently. For example, you might type "SEO consultant" and the Google sandbox will tell you that, in addition to searching for "SEO consultant," other frequent searches are "SEO expert" and "SEO services." Using the Google sandbox will give you an inexhaustible supply of ideas for the creation of fresh content. Put simply, you use Google's sandbox to find out what people are searching for, and you then write content that targets those keywords. The aim is, of course, to rank highly in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for those queries.

4. Use the h1 tag

The h1 tag is one of the great secrets of SEO. The h1 tag tells search engines that this is the main title of the page ("heading #1"). The h1 tag is an incredibly powerful tool and Google takes it seriously, providing it is substantiated by the page's content. In other words, the words in the h1 title tag should also appear in the main text. Using the h1 tag is an excellent way to optimize a page for specific keywords.

Here is how you use the h1 tag: <h1>Your keywords</h1>

The h1 tag will make the text quite large; you can have the benefit of the h1 tag without such enormous text by using CSS to format it as desired.

You should also use the h2 and h3 tags for your sub-headings, making the content of your page hierarchical.

5. Keyword density

The keywords you are targeting should appear in the main body of your text reasonably frequently, but don't overdo it: a page that is stuffed with keywords destroys the credibility of your web site and is easily identified by Google as spam. Putting your keywords at the beginning of the page, in most of the paragraphs, and somewhere near the end will be quite sufficient. Do not forget the importance of using synonyms too, as mentioned above. If you want to check the keyword density for a page, you can use this keyword density tool.

6. Use bold, italics and underlining on keywords

When you bold, italicize or underline a word, Google assumes that this is one of your keywords. You should therefore bold, italicize or underline some of the keywords on your page.

Be very careful, because this can also work against you: if you use bold, italics or underlining on words that are not keywords, you will confuse Google and will weaken the effect of these tags on your real keywords.

7. Keywords in the URL

Deciding the URL of a page is an important part of SEO. The page should have a file name that contains your keywords, and the page should be in a directory that also has keywords in its name. For both the directory and the page itself, the keywords should be separated by dashes.

You should follow a sensible rationale when deciding what to call directories and files; it should reflect the hierarchical nature of your web site. For example, if you are writing a page about obtaining inbound links, a good URL for it would be:

polyseo.com/seo-tips/how-to-obtain-inbound-links.html

This is a good URL for these reasons:

a) "SEO tips" and "how to obtain inbound links" are related queries and Google knows it;

b) "how to obtain inbound links" is a subset of "SEO tips." Google will give you extra respect for using hierarchical URLs. Don't forget that Google was developed by two clever mathematicians!

Depending on exactly what pages you plan to create for your web site, there are several ways of naming a URL. For example, with regard to the example above, if you're going to write many different articles on the topic of "links," you could name your URLs as follows:

polyseo.com/SEO/links/how-to-obtain-inbound-links.html

polyseo.com/SEO/links/why-outbound-links-will-benefit-your-website.html

and so on. (In this example "how to obtain inbound links" is a sub-category of "links," and "links" is in turn a sub-category of "SEO." Furthermore, all three sets are related to each other: they are all about SEO.)

8. Use a high content-to-code ratio

Search engines will give your page a higher ranking if it has a lot of text relative to the amount of code. You should aim for a high signal-to-noise ratio on your page, which means that there should be more content than code. Open any page on the Internet, right click on it and select "view source" (or its equivalent). If there is a lot more code than text, search engines are not going to love it.

If you are serious about SEO you will produce pages with good, clean HTML and will avoid anything that requires a lot of code. A small amount of HTML code and a lot of quality text is what search engines (and users) really love.

9. Split substantial articles into several pages

If you write an article about a big topic, it is inevitable that the article will in fact deal with a number of sub-topics. In these cases you should split the article into several pages: one page for each subtopic. This has the following advantages:

a) you will be able to have highly focused search-engine optimization that targets each specific page, instead of trying to optimize one enormous page for keywords that are relevant to only 10% of it. Remember that Google decides what content is about on a page-by-page basis: this means that every page should focus on one topic - only one;

b) users prefer to read articles that are split over several pages rather than articles that have the "toilet roll" format. The links that take you from one page to the next should have the target page's title as the anchor text (more about this later).

The page you are reading is an exception; pages with a list of tips generally work better as a single page, even if very long.

10. Avoid frames like the plague

From the point of view of SEO, frames must rank amongst the most disastrous thing you can do. Users hate them, and search engines hate them even more. Put simply, search engines are not able to index web sites that use frames; the most they can do is index your homepage. For all intents and purposes you will simply not be present in search engine indexes if your web site uses frames. The brilliant Jakob Nielsen has more to say about why frames suck.

11. Avoid Flash like the plague

After frames, Flash is the biggest enemy of SEO and usability. Search engines are not able to read Flash files. Therefore any text displayed on the Flash page will not be read by the search engines and will not give you any SEO benefit. As importantly, Flash is an enormous barrier between your web site and its users. I have always found Flash-based web sites extremely frustrating and very often leave before the homepage has even finished loading. In the rare occasions in which I waited for the home page to load, the web site invariably turned out not to be worth the wait. Truly useful web sites have indexable content, preferably in the HTML format. Good, clean, minimalist HTML code is the true friend of SEO. Do not use Flash if you are serious about SEO and getting real traffic from the search engines.

UPDATE: Google has greatly improved its ability to index Flash. It can now read textual content in any SWF file. The words that appear in these Flash files will be taken into account when the algorithm decides how to rank your page for a given query. Of course, text that is displayed graphically - as in a JPEG file, for example - will not be read by Google. It never has been, and will continue not to be.

I still hate Flash, and advise EVERYONE against using it, but if you really must, at least now you can be confident that its text data will be spidered and indexed by Google.

12. Interlink your pages

Every page on your web site should have at least a couple of contextual links that point to other pages on your web site. These links should follow naturally from the content of your page. For example, if your page mentions an SEO consultant, you can use those words to link to a page that is relevant to them. That's a contextual link.

This will ensure that Google PageRank will be shared among your pages, and is an additional way of telling Google what your pages are about.

13. Put high-quality outbound links on every page

Every page of the content on your web site should also have at least one contextual link that points to a high-quality external web site. It has been shown experimentally that Google gives a higher ranking to pages that link to a high-quality external web sites. In other words, other things being equal, a page with good outbound links will be placed higher in the search engine results pages than a page with no outbound links.

Deciding who to link to is relatively simple. Choose a word or group of words in your text and do a search on Google. Look at the top 3 or 4 web sites and choose one that does not compete with you. Go back to your page and make those keywords the anchor text for an outbound link that points to that high-ranking external web site. Google will love you for linking to a web site that it deems to be of a high quality, especially if the link's anchor text has words for which that web site ranks very high on Google. Doing this on every page in your web site will have the following major advantages:

a) as mentioned above, Google will give you a higher placing in its results pages;

b) it shows your users that you are in good faith and not a sleazy spammer. Remember that the traffic you get from the higher Google ranking will massively outweigh the traffic you will lose through the outbound links, and in any case people will only leave your web site if they have not found what they are looking for, in which case they would have left anyway. Outbound links will have the net effect of increasing your web site traffic.

14. Produce an HTML sitemap

By "sitemap" I do not mean those special files that tell search engines about the structure and your web site, although that kind of sitemap is a good idea too. In this instance I am referring to an HTML page that contains links to every single page on your web site, just like a directory. There are two reasons that make such a page essential:

a) f or the purposes of SEO, no page should be more than two clicks away from your homepage. Search engines do not like pages that need a lot of clicks to be found. Furthermore, it makes every page on your web site receive some of the Google PageRank of your homepage (the homepage will inevitably have a higher PageRank than any other page on the web site);

b) it is extremely useful for users to be able to access any page on your web site from a single page of links. In this way they can access a page very quickly, even if it is the last page of multi-page article.

15. Put the menu on the right

To make your web site even more search engine- friendly, consider putting the menu on the right, as with this web site. This will ensure that the first thing Google sees after the <head> section is your content. This is because search engines read pages from top to bottom and from left to right. Putting the menu on the right-hand side ensures that search engines will come to it after your main content. This is related to having a high signal-to-noise ratio.

16. The <title> tag

This is vital because, like the h1 tag, it tells search engines what you claim your page to be about. The title tag should have the same contents as the h1 tag. The title tag for this page is:

<title>SEO tips</title>

17. Produce META tags with great care

There are three META tags of interest in SEO: ROBOTS, content and KEYWORDS. The first two are vital; the third no longer plays a big role.

The robots tag should be as follows:

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow"/>

The contents tag should be identical or similar to the title tag - it has been found that Google loves this. The content tag for this page is as follows:

<meta name="description" content="A definitive guide to SEO (Search Engine Optimization)"/>

In the dark ages of the pre-Google anarchy the keywords meta-tag was taken very seriously by the primordial search engines. Accordingly, the SERPs were dominated by spam web sites that stuffed their meta-tags with keywords. Nowadays the keyword tag is almost irrelevant. By all means include it, but make absolutely sure that no keyword appears in the tag more than once. Do not put more than 20 words in the meta-tag. The keywords meta tag for this page is as follows:
<meta name="keywords" content="SEO, tips, search, engine, optimization, Google"/>

18. Remember that search engines cannot read pictures

The essence of SEO is putting high-quality content on a page, and making sure that search engines can fully read and understand the content. This means that the heart of SEO is quality text. Any text that is displayed as a JPEG file or other graphics cannot be read by the search engines. Look at the source code of a web page: that's what search engine can see. If you can't read it in the source code, search engines will not be able to read it either, and you will therefore get no search-engine credit for it. I have seen entire articles displayed as a JPEG file. The author is probably despairing over why Google won't show it in its search results at all.

Therefore, do not use graphics to display content. This does not mean that you should not use pictures; when used appropriately, pictures enhance your users' experience and make your content more useful.

You can tell search engines what a picture is about by using the ALT tag. Make sure that the description in the ALT tag faithfully describes the content of the picture; stuffing the ALT tag with keywords that are not relevant to the picture is considered spam.

19. Make sure you have "index, follow" in the ROBOTS tag

Every single page on your web site should have this tag. It tells search engine spiders to index the page, and it also tells them to follow all links to their respective target pages. This is useful in making sure that all the pages on your web site are indexed.

Spiders are programs that search engines use to analyze pages on the Internet; they go from page to page, following links and reading every page, making decisions on their quality and keeping a copy in order to show them on the search results pages for relevant queries. SEO is essentially about convincing these automated programs that a given page deserves to rank highly for a specific search query.

20. When you produce a new page of content, link to it from the homepage

Once your homepage has a few quality inbound links, Google will regularly spider your homepage. Therefore, a good way to make sure that Google spiders and indexes a new page as soon as possible is to link to it from the homepage. Search engines will follow the link and index the target page within a few days.

21. Use a unique IP address for your web site

It is very important that your web site be associated with a single, unequivocal IP address. There are two reasons for this:

a) If you use a shared IP address and another web site with that IP address gets a Google penalty, your web site will also suffer;

b) Google will take your web site a lot more seriously if it has a unique IP address.

Having a unique IP address for your web site will cost you a few extra dollars a month but it is undoubtedly worth it.

22. Use a quality web host

You cannot develop a successful web site without using a reputable, high-quality web host. You should also make sure that you have a top-notch traffic statistics program that will display detailed data regarding your traffic and search engine referrals.

B. Links

23. Get inbound links

Inbound links are the kingpin of the Google algorithm. Google revolutionized online search by introducing a simple but very effective answer to a complicated question: "If a user performs a search for widgets, and there are one million web pages about widgets, how do we decide the order in which these web pages should be presented in the search results? In other words, how do we rank them?"

The answer provided by Larry Page and Sergey Brin was simple: pages that have more links pointing to them are more likely to be useful than pages with fewer links pointing to them. Google considers inbound links as votes in favor of a particular web page.

It is therefore absolutely imperative to obtain inbound links that point to your web site and to content pages within your web site. The links that are most beneficial are one-way inbound links: links that point to your web site without your web site linking back. Google considers these the most genuine endorsements and therefore the most reliable indicator of a page's objective usefulness. Buying links is a great way to obtain high-quality links quickly. Text Link Ads is the most reputable link broker and offers a whopping to new advertisers.

How much weight Google will give to a link depends on the page's PageRank and on whether the link's target page is related to the content on the linking page. In other words, a link pointing to a page about SEO is worth more if is in a page about SEO; if the link is on a page about cars, it will be less beneficial.

24. Link anchor text is important

The anchor text of links is extremely important, because it answers Google's all-important question: what do users think this page is about? The more relevant the inbound link's anchor text is to the target page, the more the page will benefit. The most beneficial links for SEO purposes are one-way inbound links with relevant anchor text. If you manage to get a one-way inbound link with a anchor text that contains the words in the target page's h1 tag, to Google this is an independent third party confirming the topic and usefulness of your page, and your ranking will go through the roof. Such links are worth pursuing.

This is not to say that other links are useless. Getting inbound links from pages with a high PageRank, even if the links are reciprocated, will still be beneficial. Links with "click here" as the anchor text should be avoided as they do not tell Google what the linker thinks the target page is about.

Probably the only way to start out with links is to start e-mailing webmasters, once you have produced some quality content, and ask to trade links. Most will decline, but some will say yes, and this will get you started. Remember that no decent web site will link to you unless it has free useful content. Part of the point of writing excellent content is to obtain natural, unsolicited one-way inbound links. For this reason, such content is sometimes referred to as link bait.

25. Use advertising to generate some traffic

A web site's traffic should grow exponentially once a certain critical level of traffic is reached, because the more people visit your web site, the more incoming links you will get, the higher your ranking will be, which in turn will bring in more traffic - assuming, of course, that your web site offers value to its visitors. Posting a cool video is an excellent way to gain exposure. If you follow the SEO tips in this article your web site will get good search engine traffic from the get-go.

Precisely because traffic breeds more traffic, you might want to consider spending a small amount of money on advertising at the beginning. Although advertising does not have a search engine benefit, the extra visitors it brings might link to your useful content, which will have an SEO benefit. Google's Adsense is a cool program for this sort of thing.

26. Post in forums

An excellent way of getting one-way inbound links is to post in forums and place contextual links pointing to pages on your web site, in addition to a link to your homepage in your signature. Of course this is only acceptable (and beneficial) if the forum's topic is the same as your web site's.

Make sure all such links have anchor text that is a highly focused on the target page's content. Not all forums make this possible, but I have seen several that publish posts as HTML pages and that allow links. The most beneficial forums are those that allow you to post a link without the rel=nofollow tag. Of course, make sure that you write quality posts that add value to the forum, or your posts will be considered spam. Also, the outbound links will be worth more if they are embedded within a good chunk of quality text.

27. Use press releases to obtain backlinks

A great way to obtain one-way inbound links is to broadcast a press release through an online service. By all accounts PRWeb is the best facility for this sort of thing. Make sure that your press release is well-written and interesting, and of course make sure that it has a link to your web site.

28. Do not link to bad web sites

If you link to a web site that Google has penalized or that for some other reason Google considers to be a bad web site, your web site will be penalized. Google will not penalize you if a bad web site links to you, but it will penalize you if you link to a bad web site. For this reason you should only link to the best web sites, and you should check those links frequently to ensure that the web site does not have a new, spammy owner (it can happen).

You should avoid so-called bad neighborhoods. Bad neighborhoods are clusters of interlinked web sites that are suffering a Google penalty (maybe without even realizing it). If you link to a web site which in turn links to a penalized web site, you are part of a bad neighborhood. Avoid this like the plague.

29. Produce link bait

One-way inbound links are essential to SEO. The only reason anyone will ever link to you is if you have something useful or interesting on your web site. I have already stressed the importance of writing great content. Other examples of link bait include:

* free resources, such as my free SEO tools;

* offering a free e-book for download (make it a PDF file with at least one link to your web site).

30. Staying on the right side of Google

The third vital element in search engine optimization is avoiding anything that is even remotely spammy or unethical. You should follow Google's Webmaster Guidelines scrupulously. If you do any of the things banned by the Google Webmaster Guidelines, sooner or later Google will find out and penalize your web site. The following tricks are expressly prohibited by Google:

* Cloaking: this means displaying a different version of your web site depending on the IP address of those accessing it

* Redirecting your homepage to another page

* Using text that is the same color as the background

* Hidden links

* Registering many domains and interlinking them all

5 Great SEO Tips for Bloggers

Last week I wrote a post emphasizing the importance of why bloggers too should be SEO Tips and the post got quite a few comments from people agreeing with my points. That proves further that since people know the importance of being an SEO as a blogger they are also interested in learning tips that can help them improve their blog SEO Tips significantly.



 

 

This post will be giving you 5 major SEO tips to help improve your blog SEO significantly.

1. OPTIMIZE YOUR PERMALINKS

When it comes to optimizing a blog to get the best from search engines wordpress is one of the best platforms available online but you need to realize that the default permalink structure wordpress uses isn’t effective for SEO as it only uses some random number that has nothing to do with your article. Instead you should optimize your blog post title to reflect your post keyword.

Latest Seo tips and trciks

For example, instead of your post title being www.blogname.com/p?33 it should rather be something like www.blogname.com/article-keyword

You can easily change your default wordpress permalinks by visiting the permalinks section of your wordpress blog (this can be accessed by going to SETTINGS>>PERMALINKS) and then selecting the custom option, you should then enter /%postname%/. Once you’ve changed the default permalinks to the postname permalink your new post will automatically be having your post name in the title.

2. OPTIMIZE YOUR TITLES

I’ve seen bloggers trying to rank for keywords that isn’t even anywhere on their blog. To increase the chances of you ranking for the keyword of your choice make sure you optimize your blog post titles to reflect your desired keyword.

When it comes to optimizing your titles this means you should optimize your blog title, your post titles and your H1 tags as this will ensure you have increased chance of ranking for the keyword of your choice.

 

Amazing Seo Tips

Your title is what tells the search engines what your blog is about and it is the first thing users see when they are searching for your keyword, so aside your title increasing your chances of ranking it will also increase the number of people who visit your blog from the search engines

3. OPTIMIZE YOUR BLOG POSTS TO REFLECT YOUR DESIRED KEYWORD


If there are two authority blogs trying to rank for the keyword “hot potatoes” and the first blog writes an article about fishing while the other blog writes an article about potatoes, the importance of eating potatoes and how hot potatoes can be good for the body etc. which blog do you think will dominate the SERP for the “hot potatoes” keyword? I can assure you it is the second one.

Search engines need to know clearly that your article is truly relevant and that it truly covers what people are looking for so they will use every relevancy measure they have to ensure this happens. Nothing confirms the relevancy of your article in the search engines more than the keywords used in it.

4. YOUR META DESCRIPTION

Another very important and underutilized part of your blog you should optimize when trying to rank for a particular keyword is your meta description. The reason for this is that your meta keyword has two major advantages, first, if it includes your keyword it can increase the chances of you ranking higher and, second, if properly written it will have a huge impact on your click through rate from the search engines.

There is no point in ranking #1 for a high traffic keyword if nobody clicks, so the best thing to do is optimize your meta description to show people why your article is what they need to read.

5. BUILD QUALITY LINKS

Links control the web.

It doesn’t matter how great and relevant your content is you need quality backlinks to get results.(SEO TIPS) Instead of focusing on writing content only why not also try your best to be building quality backlinks to your blog regularly. This can be done either by guest blogging, article marketing, commenting on the top dofollow blogs in your niche and writing quality content that provoke backlinks.read CAre Fully this article on seo tips.

 

7 SEO Tips for your Django Site

Forget content. When it comes to the Internet, Google is king. If you please the king, you can do well.If you cross the king, your disloyal ass will be thrown into the tower to watch your site wither and die, unless the king deigns to sets you free.Read Care fully this article on seo tips and tricks.Best seo tips.

 



Some of the things that most please the king are “thick” (i.e. not “thin”) content pages, well structured site navigation, and honest links to and from your site.

In building my new site, tipsmap.com, I’ve both pleased and inadvertently crossed the king. The problem with this monarch: he doesn’t speak to his subjects, so if you end up in the tower, you’re never quite sure why.

Free seo tips

Your best strategy is to know the rules of the kingdom, and do your best to follow them. Below are some of the best practice, white-hat SEO techniques that I have used to make sure the king stays happy.

1) Automatically NOINDEX “Thin” Pages, Part 1

As I write this post, I’m mentally air-quoting the word “thin” because nobody knows for sure how “thin” is defined. For me, I’ve arbitrarily decided that a page should have a minimum of 400-600 words of good, original content, not counting navigation and other necessary on-page fluff. Conversely, I red-flag pages with less than 250 words of core, original content.

For Wantbox I have implemented the useful django-tagging application which has, in the short term, produced some automated “thin” content. As more “wants” get added to Wantbox, more tags get created, and more tag listing pages are dynamically produced (side note: a want is the equivalent of a user’s posted question, but is specific to what that poster wants to buy or find). This is an example of a legitimate, but currently “thin” tag listing page on Wantbox: Wants Tagged with “ergonomic”.

 

Local seo tips

Now, as the Wantbox user base increases, and submitted wants grow, this listing page could be a useful resource for visitors. In general, I don’t want to remove pages like this. Instead, in the Django template for these want listing pages, I have added the following code in the <head> section of the page:

{% if object_list.count < 5 %}
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, FOLLOW" />
{% endif %}

I use this same template to display all want lists on Wantbox: wants by state, wants by tag, wants by submit date, wants by user, etc. With the above template addition, if any of these pages have less than 5 wants listed, the page is deemed “thin” and I direct any crawler to not add the page to their index, but to still follow (and allow PageRank to flow from) the links on the page. To be clear, when I say “any crawler” I mean the king’s Googlebot.

2) Automatically NOINDEX “Thin” Pages, Part 2

Another problem for Wantbox, or any Q & A type site,  is that when a user posts a want it remains “thin” until it gets a reply or two. This unanswered valentine’s day post is a “thin” want, but this sump pump one is not. To prevent new, unanswered wants from adding up and harming the site, I add the same NOINDEX, FOLLOW meta tag shown above until it gets a reply.

3) Use 301 Redirects when Page URLs Change

For Wantbox, I use a slug to construct the URL of each want page. For example, this want for a rooftop cargo box looks like:

http://wantbox.com/I-want-a-rooftop-cargo-box-that-fits-a-Lexus-RX400h_Boston-MA-02111.html

I believe this is good for Wantbox visitors since the resulting URL is clean, readable (although a bit long) and very pertinent to the page. However, since the slug is composed of the want title and city, it can change if the want is edited.

To deal with this, after any want is edited, if the title or city changes, I add an entry to a Want301 table with the old value and the new. If a visitor encounters a 404 error when attempting to view a want, I check the Want301 table to see if there is a recorded change. If one is found, I redirect the user to the new page using:

django.http.HttpResponsePermanentRedirect

This sends the HTTP 301 Moved Permanently redirect. If a search crawler encounters this, it should update it’s index to account for the change.

4) Use the Canonical Meta Tag

When new wants are added to Wantbox, I create a shortcode for the want and tweet it out. These tweets look like this:

These URLs end up getting archived and re-posted by random Twitter scrapers although they are completely duplicate with the full slug-based URLs I have constructed. Both the shortened and slug-based URLs actually end up at the same Django template.

Danger seo tips

 

In this example, the real URL for this roof replacement want is:

http://wantbox.com/I-want-to-find-local-roofer-contractors-to-replace-a-roof_Burbank-CA-91503.html

The king despises duplicate content. In order to indicate to his majesty which URL reigns supreme, I add the canonical meta tag to the top of my “want detail” template:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://wantbox.com/I-want-to-find-local-roofer-contractors-to-replace-a-roof_Burbank-CA-91503.html" />

This lets the search engines know the preferred, or canonical, location of this page.

5) XML Sitemap

If you have a dynamic site, you should have a dynamic sitemap which updates as new content is added and specifies the most important pages for you site. Django has an entire framework for dealing with XML sitemaps, but I found it just as easy to create a simple sitemaps.xml template and populate it with the specifics for Wantbox.

The Wantbox sitemap automatically generates on each call and pulls all the current content from the database that I want crawled. It also updates the <lastmod> value to indicate to the crawlers when a page has changed. I can also assign my personal page priorities with the <priority> tag.

Once you have a sitemap, go to your Google Webmasters account (you do have one, right?) and submit it to Google.

6) Useful Chrome SEO Extensions

These days, I mostly use Chrome as my web browser, although I do hate that it doesn’t have a master password. Two good SEO extensions I use:

• SEO Site Tools


• Chrome SEO

I particularly like that both of these tools visually highlight the “nofollow” links on the page that you are viewing.

7) Clicky Analytics

When monitoring SEO traffic to your site, I’ve found no better analytics package than Clicky. Specifically, it does three things that I really love:

1. Shows your current traffic and compares it to where your were at the same time of day yesterday, 7 days ago, or versus a 7-day moving average. This is a great way to see how you are trending throughout the day.


2. Splits out traffic sources by direct, search, media searches, links and social media and shows where you are now for each traffic source category versus where you were yesterday, 7 days ago, or versus a 7-day moving average.


3. Lists all the outbound links that were clicked on (which is particularly helpful for monitoring your generated affiliate traffic).

I’ve also found that the dashboard page has everything on it that I want: traffic sources, outbound clicks, top viewed pages, recent visitors (with country, IP address and referrer), recent search terms and an hourly visitor graph overlaid on top of yesterday’s or last week’s visitor graph.

It’s awesome and I actually paid to upgrade to a real subscription. Check it out.

The 52 Top SEO Tips - Here Are 10 of Them

From the obvious to the "Hey-I-never-thought-of-that-great-idea-before", here are 10 of the top 52 tips on how to optimize your website for its turbo-charge rocket ride up the seo tips rankings. Best seo tips and tricks.

 



Be bold. Use the <b> </b> tags around some of your keywords on each page. Do NOT use them everywhere the keyword appears. Once or twice is plenty.



 

Local Seo Tips

Deep linking. Make sure you have links coming in to as many pages as possible. What does it tell a search engine when other web sites are linking to different pages on your site? That you obviously have lots of worthwhile content. What does it tell a search engine that all your links are coming in to the home page? That you have a shallow site of little value, or that your links were generated by automation rather than by the value of your site. Here is an example of deep linking, in this case to my personal happiness workbook.

 

Top Seo Tips

Become a foreigner. Canada and the UK have many directories for websites of companies based in those countries. Can you get a business address in one of those countries?

Social bookmarking. Make it easy for your visitors to social bookmark your website, creating important links that the search engines value. There are plenty of free social bookmarking widgets available. We offer The Bookmarketer

Newsletters. Offer articles to ezine publishers that archive their ezines. The links stay live often for many years in their archives.

First come, first served. If you must have image links in your navigation bar, include also text links. However, make sure the text links show up first in the source code, because search engine robots will follow the first link they find to any particular page. They won't follow additional links to the same page. You can see this in action at the link to the home page on this web site monitoring page

Multiple domains. If you have several topics that could each support their own website, it might be worth having multiple domains. Why? First, search engines usually list only one page per domain for any given search, and you might warrant two. Second, directories usually accept only home pages, so you can get more directory listings this way. Why not a site dedicated to gumbo pudding pops?

Seo Tips For Blogs

 

Article exchanges. You've heard of link exchanges, useless as they generally are. Article exchanges are like link exchanges, only much more useful. You publish someone else's article on the history of pudding pops with a link back to their site. They publish your article on the top ten pudding pop flavors in Viet Nam, with a link back to your site. You both have content. You both get high quality links. (More on high quality links in other tips.)

Titles for links. Links can get titles, too. Not only does this help visually impaired surfers know where you are sending them, but some search engines figure this into their relevancy for a page.

Not anchor text. Don't overdo the anchor text. You don't want all your inbound links looking the same, because that looks like automation - something Google frowns upon. Use your URL sometimes, your company name other times, "Gumbo Pudding Pop" occasionally, "Get gumbo pudding pops" as well, "Gumbo-flavored pudding pops" some other times, etc.

Site map. A big site needs a site map, which should be linked to from every page on the site. This will help the search engine robots find every page with just two clicks. A small site needs a site map, too. It's called the navigation bar. See how the second navigation bar at the bottom of Last Minute Florida Villas is like a mini-site map?

There you have it: 10 of the 52 Top SEO Tips, a free tip sheet that comes with Don't Get Banned By the Search Engines:

There is a lot more to seo tips, and there are always more details when looking at an individual site. But these tips should help any website significantly improve its rankings. read care fully this article on seo tips.

(SEO Tips)Bing Sneaking On Google Search Results

Read Care fully this article on seo tips and tricks. Bing copying seo tips from Google? This question was raised many times, but Bing denied that they do not copy any data from Google. Many people noticed that some results are same on Bing that was searched on Google. It all started in 2010 when Google started to check Bing results and at that point Bing keep on denying copying the search results. The latest research done by Google show clearly that Bing is copying results from Google. It is not bad to use one search engine to show up, but it is when you are denying the fact that you don’t use their technology to show results. Altest and best seo tips.



Google conducted some experiments that show how Bing is copying data from Google. Now it is proven that Google leads the market with search results and even Bing is copying their technology. Google already the market leader, but it is unethical to copy other search engine data.

Bing Powered By Google?

I think if Bing shows the sign that Bing powered by Google, then there would be no problem. They can also put a disclaimer that some of the results are taken from Google to enhance their search results. It will increase Google’s popularity even more and the news was coming recently that Bing has gained the market share, but on this news would you use Google or Bing?

There are lot of questions raised that is Google going to file a lawsuit against Bing, or either there would be any settlement. Well! Google is generous most of the times and let us wait for Bing reply. You can read the full story on Official Google Blog here.

 

website seo tips

I’d like to give you some background and details of our experiments that lead us to understand just how Bing is using Google web search results.

It all started with tarsorrhaphy. Really. As it happens, tarsorrhaphy is a rare surgical procedure on eyelids. And in the summer of 2010, we were looking at the search results for an unusual misspelled query [torsorophy]. Google returned the correct spelling—tarsorrhaphy—along with results for the corrected query. At that time, Bing had no results for the misspelling. Later in the summer, Bing started returning our first result to their users without offering the spell correction (see screenshots below).

seo tips and tricks

Google has run a sting operation that it says proves Bing has been watching what people search for on Google, the sites they select from Google’s results, then uses that information to improve Bing’s own search listings. Bing doesn’t deny this.As a result of the apparent monitoring, Bing’s relevancy is potentially improving (or getting worse) on the back of Google’s own work. Google likens it to the digital equivalent of Bing leaning over during an exam and copying off of Google’s test.

Conclusion

This news will certainly effect Bing popularity because there is no point of using Bing if the search results are provided by Google. However, if Bing agrees to display Search Results Powered by Google, then they might get more market share. Bing did not officially accept the statement, but they have denied in the past that they never copy Google’s search results. We need to wait for the Bing reply on this news and what will they respond.Very informational article on seo tips. LAtest and best seo tips and tricks.

Top 10 Best Seo Tips To Improve Site Rank In Search Engines

Here we are going to disusing  Best Seo Tips to improve site rank in search engines. It is not hard to be barking up the wrong tree when it comes to getting search engine traffic because there is so much out of date information being circulated.That is why it is always best to also learn many other traffic generation methods like viral marketing for example. read care fully  this article on seo tips.



 

Not only is there out of date or invalid SEO advice getting around, there is also information which if acted upon, can result in your pages being banned.



 

top 10 seo tips

The SEO tips below should assist the reader in forming a basic understanding of how to create human friendly web pages which are easily understood by the most popular search engines.

Know this. There are thousands of search engines but only two of them will bring you most of the traffic. They are google and yahoo. Another search engine that brings me a little traffic is msn but I do not focus too much on tactics for that engine.

website seo tips

Focus your attention on the engines that will bring you the most visitors first and work your way down.

Basic SEO tips

1. Insert keywords within the title tag so that search engine robots will know what your page is about. The title tag is located right at the top of your document within the head tags. Inserting a keyword or key phrase will greatly improve your chances of bringing targeted traffic to your site. Make sure that the title tag contains text which a human can relate to. The text within the title tag is what shows up in a search result. Treat it like a headline.


2. Use the same keywords as anchor text to link to the page from different pages on your site. This is especially useful if your site contains many pages. The more keywords that link to a specific page the better.


3. Make sure that the text within the title tag is also within the body of the page. It is unwise to have keywords in the title tag which are not contained within the body of the page. Adding the exact same text for your h1 tag will tell the reader who clicks on your page from a search engine result that they have clicked on the correct link and have arrived at the page where they intended to visit. Robots like this too because now there is a relation between the title of your page and the headline. Also, sprinkle your keywords throughout your article. The most important keywords can be bolded or colored in red.A good place to do this is once or twice in the body atthe top of your article and in the sub-headings.


4. Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed. I always use the headline of my pages as the title tag to help the robots know exactly what my page is about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.


5. Do not spam the description or keyword meta tag by stuffing meaningless keywords or even spend too much time on this tag. SEO pros all agree that these tags are not as important today as they once were. I just place my headline once within the keywords and description tags.


6. Do not link to link-farms or other search engine unfriendly neighborhoods.


7. Do not use doorway pages. Doorway pages are designed for robots only, not humans. Search engines like to index human friendly pages which contain content which is relevant to the search.


8. Title tags for text links. Insert the title tag within the HTML of your text link to add weight to the link and the page where the link resides. This is like the alt tag for images. My site contains navigation menus on the left and right of the page. The menu consists of links not images. When you hover over the link with your mouse, the title of the link appears. View the source of this page to see how to add this tag to your links.


9. Describe your images with the use of the alt tag. This will help search engines that index images to find your pages and will also help readers who use text only web browsers.


10. Submit to the search engines yourself. Do not use a submission service or submission software. Doing so could get your site penalized or even banned. Here is the submission page for google: http://www.google.com/addurl.html Submit only once. There is no need to submit every two weeks. There is no need to submit more than one page. Robots follow links seo tips. If your site has a nice link trail, your entire site will get indexed. My site has a nice human friendly link trail which robots follow easily. All my pages get indexed without ever submitting more than the main index page once. best seo tips.
