A simple plan of action for your SEO strategy is all you need to increase and maintain your ranking on major search engines. Off-page optimization is going to be imperative to your growth and dominate yournich Site title: Your title should be keyword rich and target keywords you could really rank for, not just generic terms or company name that will not help you improve your ranking in the SERPs (search engine results pages). You can have as much as 70 characters in your title; so, utilize it without keyword stuffing. Meta Description: This is one of the important elements for your site. If you don't have a description, you're only hurting yourself. For most sites, it is best not to include the domain name unless it is a keyword term. Google displays up to 163 characters, but most experts go for 150 or 160 to be safe. Meta Keywords: Google engineer, Matt Cutts, revealed that Google doesn't care to look at the meta keyword tag, but this debate still continues even today. Thing is, although Google is the top dog and perhaps they really don't care for the keyword meta tag, but it is still good practice AND other search engines still care for it, so it doesn't hurt too much to go ahead and utilize the keyword meta tag. Try to stay within 10 keywords per page. Aside from the recommended numbers, it's best to go for keywords you can actually rank for, not just generic keywords that has more than 100,000,000 results. Inbound Links: The more sites linking back to you, the better your site will rank for particular keywords. You need high PR sites linking back to your website. This can be accomplished through the use of social media sites, forums, blogs, link directories and more. There is no cut and dry answer to how many back links your site should have. It is dependent on your competition. If the highest ranked site in the search engines for a specific keyword phrase is 10 inbound links, then you should have more. If it is 500,000, then give up, and search for a new niche, or give up SEO as an option for your traffic and consult with traffic experts. We can also help you there. basically a lot of back linking)
I do all my own SEO. I'm 67 years old and didn't know one single thing about webmastering until I began in my early 60s. Now I have 90,000 visitors a month to the website. If I can do it — and I'm old enough to be the grandfather of a lot of you! — you can do your own SEO and succeed. Just study and work, study and work...
Very interesting article, but most of this articles speaks about add rich content to the webpage, but what happens when the webpage is a simple php proxy, i can´t add new articles daily since the php proxy is as is but exists other ways i think. Anyways very usefull, at least has some infos news to me. But iread somewhere that is recomended use only 2 or 3 keywords, no more. Thanks.
Pal, you are not even old enough to be my father, much less my grandfather... I'm 54. My first programming was still with perforated cards, I set up my first mail server (on what was then UUNET) around 1986, and I started with websites when people still though that "Internet" was an net for interns or something like that. But I agree with you, study, work, EXPERIMENT, study, work and you'll get there...
@SEOtranslator, good to see there are some here who are almost in my generation. Although I only learned webmastering and design about 5+ years ago, I have a similar experience with the punch cards. I took my first (and only) programming course in 1965 at the Univ. of Pittsburgh. The language was M.A.D. (Michigan Algorithm Decoder). And the input was entirely via punch card. Our university's tape-drive computer filled up much of an entire floor of the computer building. It's amazing to think that that monstrosity would be blown away by today's simplest desktop or laptop. Best wishes.
@Jim4767, the pleasure is reciprocal. I still remember the first mainframe I worked on... with a "hard disk" that was a drum two meters long and some 40 cm in diameter, and that could store the incredible amount of ... 128 kilobytes! WoW!
For me it seems that in the article are just basic principles that you should take into account when you are building a web site, but there are not mentioned all of them, not at all! But about the title of this post I can just agree that there is so much that can be done on your own, that it is not necessary to hire somebody, a least not at the beginning while you are understanding how it all works. So let's just keep on learning!
great article, one more tip, if you go to google and search for one keyword and you don't see a LOT of related keywords appear at the bottom, you've typed in a keyword that people don't search much on.
You do need some SEO services when things become complicated. One has to clean his html codes to make it a fast uploading website. It's not just the case of meta tags. One has to check whether a 302 found is there or what? There's numbers of other complications which I believe experts should handle. Coding is not everyone's piece of cake. If you know these things and you do care for your website and build genuine backlinks everyday, then you don't need anyone. but what if you don't??
