Search Engine Optimization strategies
All effective Search Engine Optimization firms have there own SEO strategies that they don't discuss publicly.
Following are some of the Website Marketing strategies often implemented in addition to
link building to achieve "high search engine
rankings".
META Tags - A very important
thing to consider when developing your website is the
meta tags. Meta tags are written in the website's source
code….behind the scenes where the typical visitor
does not see. It's recommended that you always include
them on every page of your site. Another reason, the meta
description tag is important as some engines use it as
a site's summary on their results pages.
Keywords - Choosing the right
keywords is the first step to better search engine placement.
Analyze your business carefully and think of all the words
that relate to your company or product. Let's say you
own a hotel property. What words would you search for
when looking for the same business?
Keywords in Text - Most search
engines index the full text of each page, so it's vital
to place keywords throughout your text on all pages. This
is called keyword frequency. However, each search engine
uses different ranking algorithms. Difficult though it
may be, you need to keep all of them in mind.
Link Popularity - Link
popularity is an important criteria used by search engine
to determine ranking - How many sites have links to your
site -including other search engines and directories-
And, of those sites, their popularity is also considered.
Update your Website - Search
Engines always look for fresh content - The last date
you updated your website is often shown besides your site's
summary on the search results. Make sure you update your
website at least once a month, ideally once a week.
Why is it so Difficult to achieve "top ten
rankings" in Google and other crawler based Search Engines?
The four main reasons why it is difficult to place well
with the search engines are:
| 1. |
Just about every search
engine uses a different set of criteria by which to
index sites. |
| 2. |
Search engines tend to not divulge
this information to the public. |
| 3. |
They change their criteria frequently
and you have to keep up with these ever-changing policies.
|
| 4. |
There are thousands and thousands
of sites, if not more, competing for the same search
engine results. |

and unpredictably as new competitors go online. |
| 2. |
Search engines can take days, weeks
or months to include your site. Re-submitting is often
necessary |
| 3. |
Ensure your site is search engine
friendly before you submit it. |
