SEO for Newbies

Website owners as well as bloggers today wants their site to be number one. Who doesn’t? But most of them failed to do so because of wrong SEO practices and worst they simple don’t know how to do it. Some will hire a company providing affordable web design service hoping that their works are SEO friendly and it will be easy for them to get high traffic. This article will focus on people who has zero knowledge on search engine optimization and also for those doing it the wrong way.

What is SEO

It is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords.It is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Companies that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus, while others take a more broad and general approach. Website optimization for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization.

Why SEO is Important?

Well think of your site as having lots of information that you wanted to share the world and the only people that knows about it are your friends. If your site cannot be found by search engines or your content cannot be put into their databases, you miss out on the incredible opportunities available to websites provided via search - people you wanted visiting your site. Whether your site provides content, services, products, or information, search engines are a primary method of navigation for almost all Internet users.

SEO will get your site listed in major search engines, putting your site on their databases. That way people that are not intimately acquainted with who you are and what you sell will find you. The world will know about your site, what you are sharing them or what you want to sell them.

Not only that - you are also trying to get your site listed at the top of the index for a particular subject. There are millions of sites out there on every conceivable subject wanting their sites sitting on top of every major search engines. If you sell products, then it won't do you very much good if your site is on the 50^th page. It would be like having a Yellow page advertisement where your business is listed in very small print at the back of the book!

Search Engine Optimization, Starting Guidelines

After finishing your designs, you are now ready to submit your site to directories, and then optimization starts. You would want to see your site listed in major search engines and be on top if possible. But this can only happen if you follow proper guidelines before you submit your site for inclusion.

Is My Site Ready for Submission?

Before submitting your site, you should pay close attention to the quality guidelines which outlines some of the illicit practices that may lead to site being removed entirely on major search engines otherwise penalized. You would not want that, would you?

Basic Guidelines

• Make your site clear in hierarchy and text links. Meaning, every page of your site must be reachable from at least one text link.
• Make a sitemap page for your users with links that points to the important pages of your site.
• Make a useful, content-rich site. Provide your visitors fresh and meaningful content, something that will make them come back or link to your site.
• Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site includes those words within it.
• Use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. Search engine crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.
• Check your site with broken links and correct html. You can try navigating your own site by clicking every link you have to make sure everything is working perfectly.
• Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes on your images are descriptive and accurate.
• Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).
• Make pages intended for users and not for search engines.

When you think you have followed these guidelines, you can now submit your site to major search engines and directories. After that, optimization starts. And that’s what we are going to discuss in my next article.
