What is the first step of seo?

Hey, heres a quick question for all you experts out there.

Our site is currently around 65 which usually is acceptable when you are are not pushing 100% SEO wise, however the market is not competitive at all, full of sites that you wouldnt class as quality.

So i guess with good number of links we should move easily. Looking at ranking reports every keyword has one URL displayed in SERPS apart from the one we rank at 65 that has 3 URLs displayed over a month. Why would this hapen?

Thanks

Regular reader’s will know, I always try and keep in mind that website’s are for visitor and not search engines and if you put their needs first you won’t go far wrong.


So it’s nice to read the same advice on the introductory page of this SEO Guide from Google, which goes on to point out that your visitors are “the main consumers of your content and are using search engines to find your work”.





The Guide seems to be aimed at webmasters and website designer’s and clearly displays the information in both words and pictures where possible.


Read in conjunction with other SEO resources


I think that website owner’s would also do well to read the Guide, although it does get a bit technical sometimes for the lay person. However read in combination with other online SEO resources such as the Google Webmaster Tools Help Centre and to some extent the information on this site, website owner’s should be able to gain a reasonable grasp of the main points.


SEO Basics, meta title and description tags
It starts with the SEO basics and then outlines the importance of accurate page titles and description meta tags. It then looks at the importance of developing a website structure that visitors and search engines can understand. This will help the search engines get a better idea of what the website is about.


Google likes good quality content
The next chapter is about content and more importantly making sure it has the text and keywords that again support the visitor and help Google. The message is quite simple: offer good quality content that users will like and everything else will fall into place.


Anchor text a misunderstood roadmap through your website
The Guide also outlines the importance of anchor text. This is the clickable text that users will see as a result of a link within content. Search engines generally like anchor text because it is a link that highlights some important words and takes the visitor to further information. I know from experience that making good use of anchor text can reap excellent rewards from search engines, especially if the links point to further pages within the same site.


Learn about “alt” tags in images
Likewise the Guide mentions the importance of adding effective “alt” tags to images and making sure this text is relevant to the image it is about. It also mentions that it is important to store your images in one easy to find folder and use commonly supported file types scuh as JPEG, GIF, PNG and BMP.


Heading tags are something that quite a few web pages lack, but are a simple way to ensure that users and search engines understand the importance of different parts of the text.


Will your website work for mobile search?
New to this edition is the chapter on mobile search. You’ll learn how to configure your website so it can be indexed by Google’s mobile search page and what to do if there is a problem indexing it.


How do you do backlinks?
Next is a chapter on promoting your website in the right way and tries to get a logical perspective on the whole subject of backlinks. I’ve long belivered that backlinks have been given a vastly overrated importance by website owner’s and the online marketing professionals alike. I’ve never really be convinced that simply getting backlinks for the sake of it offers much benefit and may in fact cause harm in the longer term.


The Guide does state that backlinks are important but only when they are the result of genuinely trying to promote your website. For instance making announcements via blogs and social networking sites can get your website noticed and also result in generating effective backlinks that Google will notice.


Google Webmaster Tools can be a big help
The final part of the Guide recommends making full use of Google Webmaster Tools and how it can help you find problems with you website and also carry out high level analysis with respect to keywords and how well your title and description tags are working on the search engines results page.


And finally…
So is this Guide worth reading and following its recomendations? I certainly think it is and to be fair to Google, you can take most of the points made and apply them equally effectivly to any search engines be it Google Bing or Yahoo.

Firstly OnPage SEO then Off Page SEO ...

 

knowing your business, is the first step of SEO,

Planning of your business requirements and knowing the relevant topics and their words

Studying your competitors and their position in search engines and where they are and knowing the keywords is what you have to focus to make a Good SEO campaign

 

Most small business websites are the online equivalent of those old-fashioned, trifold brochures: they’re static, with the same pitch, same pictures as everyone else in their industry. They’re just a sterile extension of offline advertising, or worse, a marketing afterthought. Too many have only thrown something up because it seems everyone else is doing it.
But with the Web’s ever-growing importance in establishing your brand to multitudes or to niches far and near, a boring, static website will get you bypassed and leave you in your competition’s dust.
Once you’ve written your business plan and researched marketing trends in your field, you may want to find a professional web designer who fits your needs, or to request a website analysis if you believe your current site could use a boost.
In either case, here’s a half-dozen tips that can dramatically increase your chances of success.
1.Find a balance between text and context. While overly straightforward, sterile sites are the kiss of death, flashy websites may also be bad for business. All those extras—animation, flash, music, splash pages, scrolling text—may be dazzling, but they also require a great deal of memory from your computer to download them and are difficult to search engine optimize. A good rule of thumb is that a graphic design layout should be no more than 30-50K in size; programming and pages should fall between 10 and 30K. You want a good blend of form and function.

2.Don’t use templates. The trouble with those templates that you can look up online is that they’re aimed at website designers, and are clogged with complicated codes that take forever to download. People lead busy lives, and site visitors short on time may click you off before your information finishes loading! Also, the reason templates are so cheap is that you’re sharing them with thousands of other sites: they are sold and resold multiple times.


3.Use effective headlines. You have only 3 to 10 seconds to grab the attention of every pair of eyeballs that lands on your website, so just like that old-fashioned newspaper every page on your website or business blog should have a headline. It’s a necessary shortcut telling people what the topic is, so they know right away if they’re interested in reading further.


4.Make a clear call to action. You must tell people specifically what you want them to do on your site: click here to make a reservation, click there to contact us, or to get more information. Make very clear the what, when, and how of how people can actively respond to your message.


5.Make specific offers. Ever wonder why grocery store coupons are so wildly popular? It’s because those ads make specific offers that drive people into the store. It’s like cash in your hands. Most businesses don’t make specific offers of any kind—except, perhaps, an occasional discount. This is a mistake. Specific, unique offers have the dual advantage of offering extra value and the opportunity to test different bait on your fishhook to see what you can reel in.


6.Sell the benefit, not the product. People don’t care about your product or services—they want answers to their questions and solutions to their problems. They care about their own needs. Most websites talk only in terms of their product or services, but people don’t really buy products or services—they buy a desired result. Tell people what are the benefits of dealing with you—what results they can expect. Establish a relationship of trust, and sales will follow.
