I have had my site for 6 months now I have read so much from this site and many other, I try what i think is good on site seo work but i'm not sure what i'm doing is even close to being correct. My traffic never increases despite my ongoing attempt to better my seo work so I guess i'm not doing it right, this is my first site before 6 months ago I only used my computer for emails. I understand off site Seo but I feel I that my on site is not correct. Thanks
I can chip in. Whats your site called?? is it the one in your sig? when you say "seo" do you mean on page or off page? if its off page then perhaps you dont know as your not even using your sigs in the correct way as anchor tags I can look at your site and give you a free report if you pm me the site you want me to look at
Hi The first thing to do in optimizing a website is keyword research and you seem to have skipped that. I think your site requires a lot of correction onsite as well as offsite optimization. I am a SEO and can help you. Do let me know. regars John
I'm not sure what you mean about skipping my key words, I thought key words go in your meta tags, since my site is bodybuilding , my key words are mainly bodybuilding, female bodybuilders and so on , so I guess i'm doing it completely wrong then Yes then I need serious help to get my thick brain to understand this stuff, DOH!!
What I meant was, the first step in optimizing a website is doing keyword research. Keyword research is not simply what you think your website is about but it is about knowing what other people are searching for in your niche. It is knowing the competition as well for those keywords. If you type bodybuilding in google.com you will have around 22,000,000 websites, so you need to decide if this is the right keyword for you to optimize your website for ? Can you spend tens of thousands of dollars per month to reach on top and still make profit ? "bodybuilding tips for females" has 120,000 competing websites "bodybuilding tips for girls" has 145,000 and so on ... so you need to hunt for various key phrases that suits your website. This is just a crude method I have told you, there are very advance level techniques we use to study the keywords before we start optimizing. regards John
Your websites doesn't load in smaller browsers.. Might want to build some links for body building / related..
Seoservicefree , I think I understand what you mean I used google adword tool , bodybuilding as you mentioned is to popular so I went for bodybuilders, but I see you use phrases, which I do not know how to use in my meta tags, I thought you could only put in singular words in where it says keywords, wow I have so much to learn. As you can see my occupation is almost the opposite to this webmaster stuff, my respect has gone up in my book to you guys. jssc I can use anchor text but don't know how to apply them for seo work Refind; I'm not sure what that means, I do test my site on Firefox, Opra and Safari. Thanks for the help
I agree with SEOservicesfree here. You're keywords are not optimized and that's the first step. Without it, you are not performing SEO. Optimizing the keywords does not lie on mere meta keywords and description. Keywords in anchor texts, H1 tags, alt tags along with keyword density also count.
Thanks Phaseman, Just remember SEO is not a magic. Its simple learning of the things how search engines work and that to without any documentation. It comes by reading lots of stuff and with experience. I have been doing this since last 7 years now. I just love to do it actually. All the best with your SEO work.
well I guess I sux at this all I know from reading everybodies comments i'm doing it wrong, here what I thought was right I used h1 tags at the very top on my page H2 tags at the bottom, alt tags for images I dont have much text but it contains my key words many times, apperently this wrong. I have no idea how to use anchor text. I have no idea how to use key phrases. to sum it up I have no idea simple, back to the drawing board.............................
