I'd like to get some feedback on what i've done so far for my newest website http://www.seo-advies.com I still have a lot of work on content but it's the general platform i'm asking this for... i looked at heading tags, site title, rss feeds & feedster, comments open for guests -akismet spam protection-, sitemap and robots.txt are in place... What do you think i need to focus on next while i cook up some dutch content?
Actually, i'm still not sure if i'm going to... google doesn't care much for meta keywords anyway, they prefer to deduct the keywords from the actual page contents... and i don't want to use meta description because then it's likely to be showed for search results while i want to relevant text from the actual page to be shown... think i'm on the right path or should i start with meta keywords and description anyway?
you may as well do it, some search engines like the keywords meta, and if google ever changes its mind then your already sorted definately do unique meta descriptions though because even if SEs dont care, people do, and writing a good copy there will result in more click throughs from the serps
I've added the meta tags that seemed appropriate and i'm already on the second page of google results for my target keywords (not bad for a website that's only 1 week old i think?) Are there other things that i need to be aware of? I noticed that a lot of optimized pages have a page on their website that can't be easely reached by visitors, but obviously is included in their sitemap.xml file. This page would include a link to each webpage on the respective site, but with the keywords as text for the links. This seems to be a common practice, any feedback on what results this has?
I never ever make sitemaps. I usually just try concentrate on good internal linking. I dont know if im missing out on a trick with sitemaps, i generally just dont like them lol
