seoYou’ve been doing the SEO basics on your website. Now that you have simple features in places like keywords, header tags, and other basic elements, what else can you do? When it comes to search engine optimization, it’s important that you take advantage of all the “behind the scenes” clues you can offer to a search engine. One thing you’ll want to do is to create a sitemap for your website. A sitemap is an overall map that works as an index.

After you’ve created your site map, you’ll want to start to add special tags that can give you an edge. When you create a hyperlink on your site, you’ll want to also add in a title tag. A title tag goes after your link, before the closed bracket. It looks like this: Blogging with a Unique Voice

SEO

Notice how directly after your link is placed in, there’s a title tag. It tells the search engine what your link is about. If your link is about spaghetti and meatballs, your title tag might say “internet and blogging” or it may say “pasta”. It’s a small description of the link.

You’ll also notice the word “Anchor Text” above. Your anchor text is the word or words that are seen when you create a link. The part between the brackets becomes invisible, but your anchor text is what your readers see. Your anchor text should be keywords defining where the text goes. It’s better to do this:
Design and Development

The first link tells you where the link goes, and the anchor text becomes important. The second link, while it will take you to the same location, does nothing to help you.

When you add images to your webpage, you’ll want to tag them also, but this time you use the tag ALT. Your images will look like this:
Do you see how the ALT tag says spaghetti? That’s because search engines can’t read pictures. They read the tags that describe the pictures. These small simple tips can help you make a difference when it comes to SEO.

  2. Ya man, there are various things to be considered… ONSITE/OFFSITE SEO.
    These will help to get more traffic. Meta tags, Meta description, Keyword, title and other details have to be set properly. These are called ONSITE seo, as well as we have to get links from authority sites, that too very important to drive a huge traffic.

  3. Good Explanation. Too many people ignore the value of using Alt tags. I’m amazed by the number of visitors who arrive from image search hits! You just have to get in the habit of using the Title and Alt. The time is well spent.

  7. Hi,
    There has been major TV advertising and marketing in place to get people interested, but will it be enough? Currently there is the new screen interface that is not as simple as Google, but not as cluttered as Yahoo. Bing will be a hybrid of the two dominant search engines in hopes of obtaining a large market share.

  12. Thanks for your valuable input and good luck to you and your new company with great determination you will succeed in seo and if you haven’t started a blog yet it may be a good idea to add one to your website

  13. I am not much of a guy who thinks in so deeply about web design but I think your post had some valid points in it. Like designers are forced to design stuff within the limited code available and not go beyond it, their innovation is somewhat limited but still I think Web Design won’t die! I agree that Amazon and other some big sites won’t have a blog but now a days it’s very important to have some sort of option available so people can quickly communicate their thoughts. I think Amazon if wants to shift it to that, they can get a customized CMS for themselves.

  14. Valuable information and excellent design you got here! I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and time into the stuff you post!! Thumbs up

  15. Great post…The better optimization of website with on-page and off-page SEO is very essential that give your site with better SEO result and successful business campaign.

    Good content, with proper optimization and placement of keyword along with anchor text play an important role for search engine ranking and back links.
