SEO Professionals to assist you in improving your Website Rankings

We often get asked what are the best things to do to get a higher ranking on Google, Yahoo or MSN for that fact.  We don’t believe that there is just 1 thing to do to achieve a higher ranking, but a combination of a lot of little things.

The Search Engines use a complex range of algorithms to achieve the findings that they have and rightly so, they are very protective and cautious in regards to the integrity of those findings and the algorithms that are used. With that in mind, it would be then fair to suggest that they have the right to constantly change, alter, amend or rectify the code at any given time, to prevent spammers and people with unethical motives from dominating the search results.

In our experience, we have found that by utilising the guidelines, albeit very loose, and making your website, a website of worth and value, will over time ensure you of the high rankings you desperately seek. Read the rest of this entry »

Free SEO Tools to assist you in improving your website

Owing to a limited amount of time available to me this afternoon, I will only list the Top SEO Tips for your consideration. When time permits, I will come back and expand upon the list and provide reasons for them. This is simply because, I have spoken with 4 Customers today and each conversation and response has gone along the same lines.

So here they are and in no particualr order of importance:

Website Title – Relevant Title Tag for that Page
Tags – Correct use of H1, H2, H3 and of course Alt or Alternate Tags
Relevant Original Content on each page – Keyword rich – 1 subject (Ideally) per page
Incoming Links -  Incoming Links from Authority Websites

It is highly recommended to consider using your targeted keywords within the page title itself. The title tag is different from the Meta Tag, however it is worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text you place within the Title Tag (ie: between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of the browser and this is what your website visitors and more importantly the Search Engines will see when they visit your web page.  Additionally, some browsers may append whatever you place in the Title Tag by adding their own name, as for example Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or OPERA.

The Search Engines may decide to rank your web page based purely on the actual text you use within the Title Tag. 

If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be optimised accordingly. The Title Tag of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the keyword phrases that you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.  Although the Title Tag on each page must reflect the actual content of that page, it is to be used in conjunction with the Meta Tags, Description and keywords, if it is to be ranked highly for your preferred keywords.

The unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques, so ensure that you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page. 

One of the most common mistakes made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name in every title of every page.  Identify what your product or service is and use that title within the Title Tag.

One last thing to consider when writing your Title Tag is to avoid using words like “and”, “at” and “the” as they will have no direct impact on your keyword preference. Everything you do on your webpage should be directed to improving your search engine position.

Below are 4 great tips on receiving traffic to your new website or blog.

1. Forum marketing

You can begin by posting in various relevant forums to enhance your presence. Be a consistent contributor to the posts, offer sound advice and above all be respectful of other users. Over time, other contributors will come to know and trust you and they will actively seek out your opinion or thoughts. Remember to place your Signature, which is nothing but text of about 3-4 lines, with a link to your web site or the affiliate’s website placed strategically within your Profile on the Forum.

 2. Title Tag

A blog must have an effective relevant title tag in order to get a good ranking within the search engines. The title plays a vital role, initally, however the actual post must be well-written and informative and pertain to the subject. Ensure that the Title Tag and content tie into together. This will provide your web site with good traffic.

3. Tell-a-friend

It is also a good idea to place a “Tell-a-Friend” script on your website. Once again, don’t place it on some obscure place of your website, make it prominent, top left or right side and just underneath the header has always worked best for us. The “Tell-a-Friend” script may help you in getting more traffic as visitors may recommend your website to other people.

4. Promotion

If you’ve liked a product that you’ve used and there is an opportunity for you to leave behind a suitable testimonial, well then do so. Remember to place a link to your website at the end. Promote your website at every available opportunity, in your daily conversation with customers, friends, associates. Ask them for their opinion on your website, the colours, design, layout etc but promote it at all times. Every email that you send out should have your company details and or Branding and with links back to your website. This will also ensure that adequate traffic comes to your web site.
