It can be challenging to get a site to do well. With millions of competing sites, how can you stand out? There are many methods to do that, but the best way is to do some search engine optimization, or SEO, on your website to attract search engines so they will rank your site well. Here are a few easy ways you can begin implementing SEO for your site.
Optimize your presence on search engines by getting other (reputable) sites to link to your site. If other legitimate sites are linking to you, search engines will see that you are an established presence online. Seeing that you are more in demand, the search engines place your site in a higher position.
Use header tags as best you can. They may sometimes be too large, but using CSS can help you change their sizes. Headers are essential because search engines enjoy using them to rank sites. To draw attention to unique features of your service or products, utilize H1 plus H2 tags as a way to highlight their importance.
Don’t put large amounts of information in the TITLE or META tags of a website. Putting large numbers of keywords in these two areas of a page is a common tactic used by spammers. There is evidence that websites that have lots of information in these tags are heavily penalized by Google and other search engines.
A great way to get more people to your site is to list your site with Google so that when people search through Google your page will come up. Listing your site in this way, will give you a vast venue where thousands of people will be introduced to your site and to your links.
Set up your site so that your oldest articles will still provide access to your most recent content. You may make a blog post that goes viral so that 2 years down the road you are still getting hits on that page. If you make sure that that old post gives easy access to your main page and recent links you’ll be more successful in your results.
Performing SEO on your site will help your site to outrank most of your competitors and in time gain a large readership. Use these tips to make sure that you get SEO working for you as soon as possible. Stand out from the crowd, as soon as you can, by implementing some of these techniques that will get you noticed for good.
