Demystifying Basic SEO for your Website

Key words: Try to pen down as many words that comes to your mind w.r.t to your website. A must do thing is to check what all keywords are your competitors using.

Title for homepage: Idea is to include as many relevant keywords in the title itself. We need to ensure that each page has keywords relevant to that page and is included in the page title, images and links.

Do not name an image as image123.jpg rather use keywords for the same. More the number of keyword references on a page, more is the chances of getting a higher rank, however, PLEASE do not clutter your page with unnecessary references of your key words. Web spider will simply ignore your efforts and put you in the black list. It may happen that your website is not included in a web search result at all.

Place keywords in h1 header tag and place it on top left hand corner.

We should try to bold, underline or italicized some of the keywords throughout the copy.

It’s a good idea to keep keywords both at the beginning and at the end of the copy. Web spiders browse the page from the right hand top corner to the left hand bottom corner.

While including an image add an alt image tag to the code. Use keywords in the alt image tag.

Meta tags for descriptions and keywords. Meta tags are generally not considered for page rank; however, a well defined description can urge a searcher to click on the link.

Choose or create a website template built with tables instead of frames। The table tag allows spiders to easily breeze from block to block of text on any given page and read the entire page.

The most important method for SEO is getting other websites to link to your website; however, to start with building your website one must ensure that atleast some of the elementary steps mentioned above are in प्लेस.
