What is SEO?

The short answer is SEO is the practice producing a webpage that will consistently obtain high ranking in specific search engines results.

SEO employs a number of different tools toward making a site relevant to searches that Internet users initiate.

key SEO content advice

Website optimisation is a continuous process constantly improving your content. Do not believe when you first create a site and have it initially optimized you can walk away and not pay attention to your content from that point forward. Although search engines like Bing and Yahoo search HTML tag structures, the big dog on the block of search engines, Google, employs completely different methods determining which website gets top ranking. Google will look for websites that are consistently and constantly providing fresh and relevant content. Google has developed strict requirements for gaining a top spot requiring websites consistently refresh content keeping it relevant to hold onto a top ranking.

The Art of SEO Phraseology

When Google accesses a site it always looks at phrases and keywords found on a webpage. Once it evaluates a site’s content, it looks for phrases that match particular search terms. If, for example, a search user is looking for “jewelry repair,” Google will return results where that particular keyword phrases showed up several times in the body content of the website front page. This should lead you to the practice selecting phrases as opposed to a single keyword. However, don’t go overboard using it because this is known as keyword stuffing and if Google perceives it used too often, you’ll lose your ranking.

 

 

 

 

Choosing a Uniquely Suitable Domain Name

Here is a task you should take time completing  -months maybe, because this is probably going to be one of the most important choices impacting success. Throw several selections about bouncing them off colleagues, friends and others checking their reactions.

 

Choose a generic name – not company identification. How many people do you think will Google “YourCompany.com?” If you are selling uniquely colorful widgets and your company name is My Widgets, LLC, consider using “uniquelycolorfulwidgets.com.”

 

 Generic names accomplish two things:

1.      They attract more of a targeted audience to your site producing greater conversions. This helps maximize whatever traffic you do receive.

2.      Choosing  generic domains using primary keywords helps gain higher search engine ranking. Although there is debate concerning this among SEO professionals, experience dictates it has impact.

 

Because there are literally an unlimited number of domains in cyberspace, put on your clever cap coming up with a number of variations using your selected keywords. In the above example – “uniquelycolorfulwidgets.com” – variations might include “colorfullyuniquewidgets.com” or  “widgetscolorfullyunique.com.” You may wish to use hyphens in the domain name as well, thus increasing the opportunity to “discover” a suitable domain name that uses your selected keywords in the popular .com suffix.

 

 

Design a Great Marketing Plan
