I am slowly building a content rich site, with articles on each page (one article per page) and adsense on it.... and I have some questions which I please require answering.... Each page will have a keyword rich article, and the page will be Search Engine Optimized..... Heres what I will optimize on each page... tags, keyword tags, headline tags, Title tag, H1 Tag, keyword density per page, links to other pages, links to home page ^^ so each page will be optimised. HERE ARE MY QUESTIONS... I will have about 300 pages on this site, each containing a different article on a DIFFERENT keyword. (and I know SEO positioning takes some time) a) Is there anything else which needs to be done to the pages, so the site pages are beneficial from SE's points of view, to these pages, (beside the list of things in RED above) N.B I know positioning depends of other factors, incoming links, age of the site, I am working on external linking, and traffic driving methods- but just wanted advice on the optimization of each page.. b) As for the articles, are keyword stuffed articles a thing of the past? What is the new trend? or can I get away with using keyword stuffed articles to get good positioning? – or is there a new style of writing articles, which SE’s give more weight to in indexing them? c)Do you have Any advice on my internal page linking structure of my site? (eg, all pages will obviously link back to my homepage) d)Are there any other NEW TRENDS in SE's which I should be aware off, and do things to my new site differently, to avoid pitfalls - (eg Considering Web 2.0 strategies, do I have to do anything differently ?) Please answer them questions thoroughly, Thanks.
did u use flash? if yes thn avoid it, you have to optimize your image tags, put alt tags for each image. your site contains 300 pages then you should create site map. Always update your articles. Keywords stuffed articles are good. do u use the heading tags for keywords, if yes thn its excellent. also make some keywords bold and underline. Make your site interesting, and also use picture ads not only text ads. I am not the expert, wait for expert's reply. its really good question, I am also waiting for reply of others All D best.
Glad to see you're restricting your topics to one per page. It'll make marking up that page properly a lot easier than most people would think. Let me take a look here for you. Don't optimzie your page content for the search engines. Optimize them for your visitors (and readers) instead. Especially since they're the ones who will ultimately determine what the search engines consider to be relevant content in the first place (with the power of linking back to your own pages). META tags are useless from an SEO perspective. The META keywords tag was abused in ways I'm not even going to begin describing, and Google recently stated that the META description tag carries no SEO weight either, with the sole exception of providing a brief snippet of what the page is about (so be sure to place the most relevant summary of that page possible here) - and Google won't even use the META description tag all the time if it feels that other content on the page is more relevant to what the user is searching for. Be careful with how you inter-link your Web pages, especially with regard to passing along PageRank between pages on your site. Both Andy Beard and Chris Beasley have articles that explain how to do this. Let me know by posting here in this thread (no PMs, please) and I'll dig them up for you. Again, don't worry so much about optimizing for the search engines. Optimize for your readers instead. Rather than focusing on a keyword per page, focus on a topic per page, and then conduct some keyword research to determine what keywords people are using when they search for the topic you want to write about. Having the page developed properly, using elements as they were intended to provide the maximum semantic meaning for the pages will help, though it's not a requirement (think of it as a "bonus" or "extra credit"). Also make sure you keep the pages short and to the point. People don't like reading long blocks of text online, and will instead scan a page looking for what is the most relevant to them. If you're writing a paragraph about a list of items (whether they be products, services, ideas, or whatever), consider using a sentence or two as an introduction or quick summary of what you're writing about, and then use a list to mark up the content you're summarizing. For example, if you're writing about different breeds of dogs, list a quick summary of them by breed instead of wasting a paragraph talking about Jack Russell Terriers, German Shephards, Pit Bulls, Collies, Shi Tzus, Poodles, Greyhounds, Mastiffs, and so forth. In fact, here's an example of using a list to summarize what I already covered here: Jack Russell Terriers German Shephards Pit Bulls Collies Shi Tzus Poodles Greyhounds Mastiffs Obviously the list is easier on the eyes when being read on a computer screen. If you include that list around content that relates to different breeds of dogs (in this case anyway), you'll do a lot better than if you had just used a paragraph to list them instead. Yes, keyword stuffed articles are a thing of the past. They're useless, pointless, and do exactly two things for your readers - and Jack left town. Other than that, search engines won't rank one type of article writing style over another. Whether the article is informational, educational, editorial (or even a sales letter written as an editorial) doesn't matter. It's all about what the user is searching for, and how that relates to what your topic is about.
