Dear Members,
In my short tenure as web host I have realised a few things about Search Engine Optimization which are as follows,
1. The first principle to follow to my mind is put yourself in others (surfers') shoes. When thinking of a owning a website, start thinking about having a website where you expect visitors through Search Engines, think as to how and why a person would reach it and that would give you complete idea about your keywords. You may not have a lengthy Title or description or keyword density yet you may appear pretty high on Search Engines listing. Here I would like to mention a case, one of modeling and event management site kreativeconnections.net lists much higher then others even though I have done very little on that. Reason? The models photo gallery had a category named celebrity models and whenever someone searched for any of those celebrity names my site would figure in and I would fetch plenty of visitors. So before you buy a domain name start thinking from others point of view because you know your website very well but others still don't. Think as to what keywords you used when you were looking for a reliable web host, think what all search terms you used finding a domain registrar and more then half the battle is won. These very keywords and description would get you good results. Bank linking, buying links and search engine submission, all are important but most important of them all is thinking from a simple surfer's point of view will give you the better results.
2. Submit your site directly to Google, Yahoo and MSN the three bigwigs in the Search engines category. Do not use paid submission if you really want to get to the very basics of SEO. Here once you register you would be shown all the statistics of visit to your URL, listing of your pages, unreachable urls etc.
3. Use Google Analytics to full use, it gives you all the information regarding your website, visitors, time a visitor spent of your website, pages which caught maximum attention from a visitor etc. Use Social Media too, it gives quality links.
I am keeping it short here, just have jot down the very basics in here and in my future blogs I would explain some other techniques. You may in the meantime join my SEO newsletter if you liked this blog.
