SearchEngineOptimization Searchengineoptimization(SEO)istheprocessof affectingthevisibilityofawebsiteor awebpagein asearchengine's "natural"or un-paid("organic")search results.

OnPageOptimization Therearefollowingthingswehavetocoverin OnPageOptimization. W3cValidation WehavetofollowtheW3Cvalidationstandards. Content comesfirst A websitewith brilliantcontentcandogreatwithor withoutSEO,awebsitewithbadcontentwillnot survivewith orwithoutSEO,awebsitewith goodcontentcanbecomeevenbetterwithSEO! So, whatisconsidered goodcontent? Original Content(articles,text,images,videos, presentations,infographics,commentsetc.)– Nocopies or re-writesof existingarticles Contentpublishedonyourwebsitefirst –Even ifit’syour own content,ifyouhavealreadypublishedit onanotherwebsitethenit’s notgood foryour site. Contentthatincludestextas well –Trytohavetexttoaccompany your non-textcontent. For example if youpostvideosonyourwebsitetrytoaddatextdescriptionaswell. Ifyouaddimagestrytodescribein wordswhatthe imageis allabout.
Contentthatis useful–Don’tpublish content for thesakeof publishing. Beforehittingthepublish buttonmakesurethatwhatgoes liveaddsvalueto your website.

Theydosobecausetheyneedtounderstandwhatthepageisall aboutandthenbased onotherfactors as well(offpageSEO,domainauthority, competitionetc.),theywill placeyour pageinapositionin their index. Pagetitles–Each pagemusthavea uniquetitlethatwillhelp both search enginesandusersunderstand what the pageisabout. Apagewithtitle“OnPageSEOTips”isbetterthanapagewithtitle “index.html”. Descriptions–Thepagedescriptioniswhatthesearcherwillseein thesearchengineresultspage. Soit has tobedescriptive,upto150characters anduniqueforeach page. It’syouropportunitytoadvertise your pageandconvincethesearcher toclickyourlinkandvisityour websiteratherthanselectingoneof the otherlinks. Formatting–A pageneedstobeproperly formatted. Think of itlikeareportwhichneeds tohavea heading(h1)andsubheadings (h2). Important partsof thereportarehighlighted withbold,underlineoritalics. Donotjustthrowtextonthepagebutmakesurethatit isreadable as well. Besidesthe formatting practicesexplained aboveyoualsoneedtousea goodsize font(atleast 12px)andsplitthetextinto small paragraphs(max 4-5lines). Images–Images areimportant buttheseshouldnotincreasethe loadingtimeofthewebsite. Best practicesfor usingimages: 1)Useoriginal images. Ifyouneedtouseanexistingimagefrom theweb youneed to referencethe source. 2)Optimisethesizeofthe images –thesmallerthesize(inbytes)oftheimagethebetter.

3)UseALTtagtodescribetheimage–This helpssearchenginesunderstandwhattheimageis about. 4)Usedescriptivefilenames–Don’tjustnameyour image‘image1.jpg’ buttrytousedescriptive filenames, for example‘Man doingpush-ups’. URLStructure TheURLstructure isan importantpartofon-pageSEO. WheneverItalkaboutURLstructure, I preferto split itinto4majorparts: Permanentlinks– Permanent linksaretheURL’sof each page. Good URLsshould belessthan 255 charactersandusehyphens to‘-‘separatethe differentparts. For examplea goodURLis: http://www.reliablesoft.net/seo-tips-for-beginners-15-ways-to-google-boost-your-web-site/ User Sitemap–Oneof your options in themainmenushouldbethe UserSitemap. This is an html file that representsthestructure ofyour website.

OffPageOptimization SearchEngine Submission Submityour website to the mostpopularsearchengines like Google, Yahoo, MSN,Altavista, Alexa, Alltheweb,Lycos,Excite,etc., to getlisted forfree. DirectorySubmission Manypeoplemaysaythatdirectorysubmission is dead.Asfaras I'mconcerned itis still alive. Itis purelybased on howeffectivelywe areselecting those directories and howefficientlywe are choosing the categoryforsubmission. Ofcourse,Iagree thatitgives quite delayed results,butitis worth doing it.Submityour websites to the topmostqualitydirectories likeDMOZ, Yahoo Directory, ZoomInfo, One Mission, Pegasus,etc.Nowadays manyweb directoriesmayofferpaid listings but don'tgoforit. ForumSubmission Create aforum/online discussion boardofyourown and starta discussion orshare topics with your friends. You can also post/replyto a thread in otherservice-related pre-existing forums thatallow links in yoursignature which can be crawled bythe searchengines.

SocialBookmarking Social Bookmarking is yetanotherpowerful wayofpromoting your website,butnowadays most people arespamming social bookmarking sites withoutknowing how to use them. Since contentin these websites updatefrequently,searchengines like these types ofsites and often visit them(this is commonlytermed asTagsonomy& FolksonomyinWeb2.0).Do some social bookmarking in popularbookmarking siteslikeDigg, Delicious,StumbleUpon,Propeller,etc. You shouldbe very careful while doing this and you mustproperlyhandle the tags which areveryessential to broadcast yournews on a wide areanetwork.This mayincrease your website traffic based on howeffectively you have participated.

5.FollowUp ReportingandAnalysis 1. KeywordResearch Keywordphrase researchinvolvesidentifyingagroupofkeywordphrasesthat will be used in optimization.This step is critical andrequiresaconsiderable amountoftimetofindagoodsetof phrases thatoffera balanced combinationof two importantfactors:highusage bysearchers and relativelylowcompetitionwithinthesearchengines. Determiningthemostusedphrase that contains yourtargetedkeyword(s) is relatively easy.Onlinetools allow youto entera particularkeywordorwords andwillreturnalltheways in whichthatword(s)was used bysearchersin thelastmonth andinwhatvolume. However, themostusedphrase(s)isalsolikely the onewith thegreatestcompetitionwithinthesearch resultsandmay,therefore,notbewhereyou would wanttodevote youroptimizationefforts. Amoreeffectiveapproachistofindasetof phrases(10 is a niceroundnumber)thatare heavilyusedbysearchers butsomewhat less competitiveintermsof the total numberof searchresults. For example,assumeyouown a businessthatleases apartmentsinaparticularmetropolitan area,"Big City."Your apartmentsareonlylocated inonemetroarea, soyouarenotgoingtoselectgeneralterms suchas"apartments;"youare onlyinterested inthosesearchers seekinganapartmentin yourcity.The logical placetostart iswiththenameofyour cityandthe word"apartments."Youmayfindthatthe mostused phrase is"bigcityapartments."

• PageTitles -Makesure thatyour site's pagetitlessaysomethingotherthanjustyour companyname or "welcome."Ideally,theyneedtolead offwithyourtargeted phrasefor thatpageandthen follow with your companyname. • Text-BasedNavigation-Searchenginescannotreadimages. Ifyour site's navigationsystemis done with images(mostare),youwill needa text-basednavigationsystem thatthesearchenginescanfollow to ensurethatall theimportantserviceandproduct-relatedsub-pagesofyour siteareindexedbythe search engines. • Prominence ofTargetedKeywordPhrases-It isnotenoughtohave your keywordphrase(s) somewhereontheweb page,the placementandprominencegiven to themalsoaffects your search engineplacement.

ALTtags refertothetextthatdescribesan image-- wordsthatyouseepopupasyoumouseover someimages.Inoptimizingyourcompany's name,anALT tagplaced behindtheimageofyour company's logoisideal.

Further,the shortdescriptionofyour siteincluded insomesearch resultsis pulledfromthemeta descriptiontagof thehomepageandshould,therefore, beusedto the site's advantage. • CleanuptheCode - Navigationrolloverscripts,other JavaScript-based code, andall CSSscriptsshould betaken outofthecodeofeachpageandputintoexternal filestowhicheach page ofthe siteis referenced. Doingthis hasseveral advantages, butone ofthe mostcompellingisthatyoursite's keywordsandcontentallmoveup, up, upin the code,communicatingtheir importanceto thesearch enginesandboostingyoursite's relevancyratings.
