Should I optimize homepage or inner pages?

I have been doing SEO for my website for over a year now, and I still don't get a lot of visitors. My problem was that I only did SEO for the homepage, and I didn't focus on other pages. The result was horrible. I get less than 100 visits a month.

How do you do SEO? Do you optimize the homepage or inner pages? How many links do you build for the inner pages and homepage?

What if you have a lot of content with over 2.8K pages indexed, how do you optimize all these pages? Or should I start with the popular ones.

 

Hi, I don't know all the details but I will tell you how I get results.
1. Start back linking to good websites. When I say get good back links that means with Authority over 35.
2. Yes, make sure you have plenty of interlinking between your pages. I help boost your rankings.
3. Make sure you are targeting your audience. Focus on keywords that get traffic. Work on getting ranked well for keywords that are easily obtained and work up to the 'big daddy' keywords.

If you do these 3 items (in addition to working on social media elements) you should see your traffic jump to 100 visitors per day in 60 days.

I like the idea of optimizing for easy to obtain keyword and work my way up. Thanks

What is the recommended keyword volume I should focus on? Less than 1000? Less than 500?

 

Start with less than 500. In your keyword search focus on keywords with more than 600 searches per month. You should be able to rank for these lower end keywords easily with minimum effort.

 

Do keyword research first to find out which keywords have good search volume. Then try to rank them up. If you able to get higher rank then there's possibility to get traffic. Happy working

 

You should be optimizing every page on your site as each one is a possible entry point for new visitors.

 

As per my Experience:
You should optimise inner pages which represents your products/services and add high competitive keywords to your homepage.
Home page carries more weight

 

According to my opinion:
Firstly you should fix your site and their inner page of the website. I mean to say you should focus on On page then do off page to get well ranked on the Google search Engine. Content is also playing important role to get index well.
when on page issues will be fixed then go for off page. Always select long tail keyword to get better result.

 

yes you must optimize homepage with your targeting keywords

 

The process of optimizing your homepage for Google, or any other search engines, could be called homepage SEO. Let me make a bold statement right after naming it: I don’t think that homepage SEO exists (as such).

 

Have you done with its on page optimization properly? like selecting good keywords and focus on your targeted area. Do local listings and moreover optimize all pages. Only home page submissions can result into spam

 

You should optimize each page of your website so that each page can be ranked on different keywords as keyword density is playing the crucial part of your website.

 

You need to optimize all of your pages and do a back linking and social media campaign. It is not an either or situation.

 

These days, always prioritize inner pages.

 

1. If you want more visitors, you have to acquire more keywords.
2. If you want more keywords, you have to optimize more pages.

Since you have 2800 pages, I would recommend:
1. Use Keyword planner to search for all the useful keywords for your business/purpose(non-competitive keywords there are easier to rank)
2. Find all the pages that are relevant to the keywords you identified and optimize those pages.

Regards

P.S Don't forget backlinks to the pages you optimized.

 

Thanks a lot for this great tip

 

Yes, you need to optimize the inner pages too. If you have a lot of inner pages, you can start optimizing the most popular ones. For SEO, first of all, you need to do the keyword research and try choosing keywords with less competition. Once you get these keywords ranking, you can expect an increase in the traffic. Don't forget the importance of authority backlinks, social presence, and regular quality content. Please feel free to ask if you need more help. Cheers!

 

Hi farris....i think SEO is not your problem....do keyword research properly and insert keywords throughout the post. it will improve search engine ranking for particular keyword, this will bring large traffic to your website or blog.

hope the information helped you!

 

I have about 380 original pages. When I wrote them, I optimized each one for its unique topic and for the related keywords. That has led to about 40,000 unique visitors each month.

 

You could find popular pages from Google analytics if you have installed it. Then you can optimize those pages. Also you could do a keyword research to identify low competitive keywords. Then you can optimize inner pages for those keywords.
