Article by-Sejersen Morris To choose the most effective keywords for your site, take advantage of the search engine's suggested topics. For example, if your site was about dogs, you could enter the word "dogs" into the search bar. Phrases that are suggested, such as "Dogs 101" or "dogs that don't shed" are phrases searched for often, and will make excellent keywords for your site. Use an HTTP 301 redirect instead of a meta refresh or a 302 redirect. 301 redirects tell the search engine that the new location for your site is permanent and they should index the new location. Meta refresh and 302 redirects are intended for temporary re-locations, and are often used by spammers, meaning that using them could hurt your rankings. Every article you publish in an article marketing program will likely include an author's bio section. Make sure that your author's bio includes links to your website and employs the same keywords you use in your other marketing efforts. A well-crafted bio will make your article a more effective tool for increasing search engine exposure. Why SEO MattersPlacing your keywords strategically in the context on your site will help increase the traffic the search engines bring your way. The best use of keywords is to place them early in the text without going overboard and loading too many instances of the same words. A good strategy is placing your keyword at least twice in the first paragraph. Use the keyword frequently throughout the following 200 words. However, make sure that the text flows naturally and doesn't sound contrived. Overdoing it with the keywords on your site could get you labeled as a spammer. If you become labeled as a spammer, your site will be overlooked by search engine spiders. They are specifically programmed to ignore the sites that try to stuff as many keywords as possible onto it. Where To Learn Search Engine OptimizationAll the SEO in the world won't help you if your website host is unreliable! Before you choose a host, check their reviews to ensure they're stable and easy to work with. A website that is down is one that is NOT making money. Also make sure they have good customer service. You never know what issue might come up that you'll need help with! For search engine optimization - use any extension available for your URL! There is a pervading myth that having a .com is better for the search engines; it is not. The search engines have no preference for .com, so if that isn't available for the keywords you need, a .net and a .info work just fine and save you money as well. If you can afford to enlist the help of search engine tools like Yahoo! Search Marketing or Google AdWords, by all means spend the extra money. The highly specific keyword metrics and analysis offered by these services takes the guesswork out of improving your ranking and optimizing your site to help it become listed as one of the organic search results. What Are Search Engine Optimization ToolsSearch engine optimization is an important part of your internet marketing strategy. How many times have you looked at the thirtieth or fortieth result in your search? Do you expect a prospective client to go wading through results to find your business? By applying the tips from this article, you can help improve your search engine optimization. ![]() |
