seo logo2 Does Search Engine Optimisation(Optimization) Works With Search Engine Spiders?Search engine optimisation (optimization) is very important for a website. To get the process work well, it will be good to combine search engine spiders with this process. You can use these spiders for your SEO needs.

It is good to know first what a search engine spider is. It is a procedure that monitors the Internet to index sites. It monitors things like how frequently a site is updated, links to a main page and references on other pages. When a spider finds more things it will be pretty much easier for a site to be listed at a good ranking on a search engine.

The most beneficial thing that can be pretty much helpful for your SEO needs is to keep a link to all the key pages on every page of your site. These key page include things like your main page or other type of pages including important things like categories of your site. It doesn’t matter at all what the links look like. As much as they are included, they will be useful.  This will help the main page to get onto the search engine and  at a better position.

Sometimes the web hosting company that is providing you the hosting services can make an impact on your search engine results. A web hosting company in UK can help you a lot with getting more respect from search engine spiders. This can be the case if that hosting company is related to a search engine. A hosting organization linked to a web search engine can help. This is for the reason that your site will be easier to find on a typical engine.

Getting links for your site from other websites can also help. Submitting your site to lots of  directories is one of the best example of this. Directories can work with listing information on websites relating to various categories. Not only you will be able to get your site listed for more people to find but you will also get it to work with search engine spiders.

You should observe these things with UK search engine. These features deal with things like getting links set around your site to your front page or other key pages.

Unethical SEO TricksAs we all know that the competition has increased a lot on web, the webmasters feel that their only goal is to rank higher in search engines. Everything goes fine till the time you don’t implement any unethical ways of SEO. Implementing bad tricks can give you high traffic for a short period, but always keep in mind that there is a where your site will be banned for ever.

Its because search engines are pretty much smarter than everyone think and the algorithm keeps changing after every specific time duration. Nobody knows the page rank algorithm of Google apart from its founders. So if you are using any such techniques then be careful from now onwards.

Guaranteed RankingGuaranteed Ranking – There is no one who can give the guarantee for Google ranking. If your SEO consultant  is giving the guarantee to rank you first, then it means that the consultant is just tricking you. You can only try to optimize the website in ethical ways and wait for Google to rank it on higher position.

what is cloakingCloaking – As we all knows that this is one of the black hat technique where different content is presented to Search engines bots and different content to the viewers. This is usually done by providing content based on the IP addresses. When a user is taken as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page. As a result, cloaking results in to unreliable ranking in the search results. That is the reason where all the search engines say “don’t cloak” in their Webmaster FAQs.

link exchange Unethical SEO Tricks That can Ban Your Site From Search EnginesLink Exchange Programs – This helps to boost the link popularity by linking your page with Web sites that are relevant to your topic and  it may benefit your ranking, but if the link exchange is with irrelevant websites then its just matter of time where Search Engines detect it and your site is just gone. Search engines are having its own ways to detect these bad techniques.

Keyword StuffingKeyword StuffingKeyword Stuffing is a technique where webmasters try to hide keywords inside page. Like put lots of keywords in the matching color of background. The keywords are not visible for viewers but Search Engine Crawlers can read them. So, it will be nice to avoid such bad tricks.

SEO SinsSEO is a trade with two sides: one the easy one are obvious mistakes you shouldn’t make, these are the deadliest, and another which is the most difficult one that will give you that extra edge is SERPs. The easy ones can be reviewed in ten easy and again obvious lists. But no matter how easy every now and then I see a website that extremely violates one of these or perhaps even more. Dooming it to the very end of SERPs. So for the record for everyone out there here they are:

1. Do NOT include your URL in your website’s title.
I know it may seem cool to let everyone know which website they are on but I think we all know where they have to look in order to know where they are. And to be honest if they can’t figure it out heck just leave them lost in the vast world of the Internet. Seriously though this will bring your SERPs even lower since the url of your website will barely be found in your content. Links do not count.

2. Your title should be maximum 65 characters long.
Keep it short I don’t think you have that many related keywords on one page. And remember to cut out ordinary words that you can never even hope to rank for like “it”.

3. Do NOT repeat keywords in your description.
You may now think Google cares about your description but it does and repeated keywords will get you stupid penalties for no reason. And try to keep it at maximum 200 characters.

4. Again Do NOT repeat keywords in your keywords META tag.
This is just like asking for your website to disappear people.

5. Do NOT join those tacky link exchange sites.
Sure they promise you links, but those links are put on a page with NOTHING but links. So there is no use to you. Instead it’ll give you a temporary boost until Google figures it out and BAM! next thing you know your website is out of SERP‘s.

6. Keyword stuffing is just a stupid plan.
You may be curious to put nothing but your keywords on a page but if you do tell how it turns out in a year or two. I don’t think I need to warn any smart people out there.

7. Stay away from BLACK HAT TECHNIQUES.
We all have heard of the mind blowing techniques to get your site on top of the SERPs, but what they don’t tell you is how long you are going to keep that top spot. It gives a good effect for a short time and after that the website is BANNED from Google.

8. Navigation is also important for the Search Engines.
So keep them html or php or anything they can see also.  Configuring XML sitemap will help the bots for site navigation.

9. Beyond SEO
The last mistake is optimizing your website for every search engine out there except, oh, that’s right the user. After all your work getting visitors from SERPs and when they get there they immediately leave. Because you’ve forgotten that the whole point of SEO is the user.

It doesn’t matter what others think these are the things you need to take care of first. Keep these things in mind and THEN move on to advance techniques. Which I happen to plan on covering extensively in the future.

Image Search OptimizationIt is a hard task to get your website noticed by internet users. You must have the ability of grabbing the attention of casual browsers and make them visit your main page. For this, Image Optimization can be a pretty useful and it can help you to drive a good number of search engine traffic for your website.

When you come right down to it, image optimization is a method in which you can maximize the visibility of your website in image searching, so that they might rank higher in their search results. This is one more SEO strategy.  This is not like commonly used keyword based optimization. If image optimization is done in a proper way, it will be as effective using keywords to get site ranked.

Here are some good tips that can be used while optimizing your site images.

The first thing you need to do is, to choose the images carefully and have relevancy. Never use scary or porno images, even if they will grab attention but it will be in a bad faith and users will have a feel of being cheated. Also, resize the images so that they fit in articles properly. Choose the images that have proper details and there should be a good balance between image resolution and file size. As the images will be of higher resolution, it will add more details in the image, but it will take a little bit of time to load only if the user is using older browsers.

The most important thing you need to keep in mind here is how much details you want web users to see at the first look of the image. Once you have selected your images, you need to identify them, not just for your own purpose, but also for the viewers who are viewing the image. The fist thing you have to do is, give a proper name to the image that fits into the category.

The main thing you need to do is to use a name that perfectly identifies what your image is about  and which is easy to remember. For example, if you have a picture image of a apple then name it apple.jpg. and you need to have additional text to let users knows, why you have stuffed the picture there. Here you can use captions as they are pretty much useful. And you can use them to put in relevant keywords for better optimization as well, keeping in mind that you don’t spoil it as it will become more irritating more than being helpful.

Also never forget to fill in the Alt attribute of the image tag in your site code. This will not only caption your image further, it will also tell users what is there in case the image doesn’t load properly. Image optimization will definitely be more useful once it is used alongside keyword optimization. And proper use of both will greatly contribute in your site’s success in page rankings.

To have a back link from a PAGE RANK 10 page is pretty nice, but if that page is having 2000 links on it, then all the back links are getting the share in some heavily divided PR.

3. Counted Links

There is no point in having inbound links if it’s on the inner page of a website which is not counted by the search engines.

google analytics Google Analytics for SEOGoogle Analytics (GA), in simple language, it is a website tracking tool that helps introducing a tracking code into the websites.

“Google Analytics (abbreviated GA) is a free service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about the visitors to a website. Its main highlight is that the product is aimed at marketers as opposed to webmasters and technologists from which the industry of web analytics originally grew” – (Source: Wikipedia).

Google Analytics helps in generating productive keywords which are search engine friendly. Hence, it should be set well before implementation. It is pretty easy to setup Google Analytics, so no need to be a technical expert. The process consists of a few easy steps:

  • Go to google.com/accounts/ManageAccount and click Analytics
  • Click add website profiles
  • Enter website address into the field
  • http:// or the hyper text protocol is already there.
  • The code automatically seen in the picture provided.

  • Hold down control and hit C to copy the text to the clipboard
  • Visit website or blog and paste the code.
  • Go back to your Google Analytics account and click finish.

A lot of marketing experts says that Google Analytics tool is created for marketers who work on specific tags and search engine friendly keywords to make the most of it.  On another hand, webmasters are not agreed with this and says that Google Analytics does not support SEO. Webmasters says that Google Analytics only supports effective website traffic analysis which is needed by webmasters while they are producing a website.

Whereas google is having its own opinion. As said Google Analytics provides a combinated platform to internet marketers and webmasters who work on small to small details of effective search engine optimization.google analytics logo Google Analytics for SEO
