Basic steps of Good SEO

1) Keyword Analysis :
Companies often choose the wrong keywords because they pick keywords based on how they — rather than their customers — think about or relate to their products or services. Sound SEO strategy involves performing a thorough keyword analysis — a check to determine which keywords people use to search the Web. Without this component of SEO, you will just be spinning your wheels trying to gain traction in a highly competitive marketplace.

2) Keyword Research
Why leave your success up to guesswork? If you don't know how well your keywords are being searched, that's effectively what you are doing. Is your site optimizing:

Keyword Frequency - number of times a given keyword appears on your entire Web page
Keyword Density - number of times a given keyword appears in a body of text
Keyword Locations - places throughout your Web site that your keywords appear

3) Manual Directory Submission :

There are a few website which offer automatic directory submissions but experienced SEO's will tell you - nothing works as good as manual directory submission.

4) Article Submission :
Among all the SEO techniques, article submission can be one of the most successful. Article
submission generally refers to the writing of articles that are relevant to your online business and then getting them added to the popular article submission directories.

The main purpose behind article submission is to attract a large number of visitors (and links) to your website without incurring a great cost. Obviously, it is important to make sure that the articles you intend to submit are directly related or relevant to your business.

There are various benefits of article submission including advertising, marketing and publicity of your business on the World Wide Web. Two of the main benefits are:

1. Article submissions can enhance and improve the ranking of your online business in search engines by increasing the quantity of backlinks and PR.

2. Another benefit that article submission offers is that of establishing the particular website owner as an expert in their industry. By providing valuable detail and information within articles, it builds the trust of potential customers thereby giving them a reason to visit your website.


5) Key points to consider while writing articles

During the process of article submission do not forget to consider below 5 key points. Following these points will meet the purpose of both i.e. your target audience and search engines.

• Articles should be original and information rich.

• Articles should be keyword rich but not excessive to the point of keyword stuffing.

• The average length of articles should be between 500 and 700.

• Give a unique title to your article with main keyword into it so as to make it easy for web crawlers to identify and classify the topic of your article.

Great post!

 

hmmm... don't like idea about copy-paste posts

 

Very Good Info. Will definitely try some of the techniques!

 

True. But as long as it's either your own written content or something that can help others, it's ok.

 

One good thing after all this work : Analyze your backlinks and your position in SERPs !

A french post from me about nine tools to analyze your backlinks : http://www.jguiss.com/2011/12/analyse-backlinks/
Some are free. I recommend Advanced Link Manager

 

Jguiss, i think you need post more at french community sites your links. monitoring them here will not get you lot of targeted traffic (french persons).

 

Yeah i know, i thinked about a english version of my blog...
Use Google Translate ! Sorry.
French or not my ressources is useful i think.

 

Good content really seems to be one of the major factors now a day's for good SEO performance. I can not believe how much time I have placed into my own site and still continue to find endless places and information on what works and what does not work. It is by far a full-time job just trying to maintain all the site I sign-up for and maintain. There are day's when I just say the heck with it and delete all the messages in my inbox except for the one's that are must read messages. You listed some great points on here and think this really only scratches the surface though. Not trying to knock you down, but there are so many avenues of search engine optimization and search engine marketing it is just ridiculous really. I love search engine optimization and search engine marketing but the amount of content and website's you have to visit and sign up for is just to much, especially if your doing it right and thorough as it should be done.

 

$99 dollars a page is pretty steep considering they don't plug any of it in for you. I have almost 500 pages. Do you know how long it takes me to research my meta info, edit a summary, and plug it all in with a picture? Unreal! Any ideas?

 

what do you mean by "Online Competitor Analysis"?? and how to do this??

 

Just search your keyword on Google search engine, and check your position........
suppose your website position is 1st page 5th number, so 1st four website is your competitor......
open this sites and check their backlinks and post your site on that sites.....

 

Do you use windows?

 

I have one website. I have design the site by my won but I am not much experienced in SEO, would any one help me to get good SEO for my site. Please see my site http://www.websitedesign-kolkata.com and suggest me.

 

H1, H2, H3 & H4 must be use on web page !
