There are some basic seo you should do for your site, so that search engine will be able to read
and index it properly.
Title tag
OK, now you need a title tag for the page, which should include the top 2-3 keywords. For the best
keywords you can check with free keyword tool.
Remember characters should not be more than 95 and should not have more than 3.
Meta Tags
You need the following Meta Tags in web page:
Let’s see each one step by step
This tag is tells content type is html and character set used it iso-8859-1 there are other character
sets also but this is the commonly used one.
This one should have all your keywords inside starting from most traffic keyword
keyword tag for our example would be something like :
Provide short decription about your site and include all the keywords mentioned in the title tag.
Our decription tag could be
It can be upto 255 characters and avoid using more than 3 commas.
This one is used for search robots..following explanation will help you :
index,follow = index the page as well as follow the links
noindex,follow = dont index the page but follow the links
index,nofollow = index the page but dont follow the links
noindex,nofollow = dont index page, dont follow the links
all = same as index,follow
none = same as noindex,nofollow
Body
Now this is very important part, include all top 3 keywords here, I will suggest just break the
keyword and use it…
And best thing will be include main keywords in h tags h1,h2 etc.. and yes, start with h1 and then
move to h2 , h3 etc.. I know h1 tag will be too big but CSS can help you there, define small font
size in css for H1,H2 tags.
Title and alt tags for images and links
Use some keywords in the tags but dont add all the keywords and if not nccessary then dont use
keywords in it basically it should explain what is image all about thats it… Remember add top
keyword at least 4 times in the body and other 2 keywords thrice and twice respectively.
Footer
This is very important part for Search Engine optimization, try to include top keywords here and
see the effect use site keywords as links i.e.
Golf carts etc
OK thats it done? NO you need to read some more stuff..
Site Map
This is page where you need to put all the links present in your site, this is will help Search
Engines to find the links easily and also provide link for site map in footer, coz search engines
start scanning the page from bottom.
If you use wordpress then this part is not required, as wordpress has built in pinging to do this.
IF you create your site in html or php, sitemap is a must. If your software does not provide sitemap,
then you can get a sitemap for free at auditmypc.com
That’s it for now
Usage of image to your website is not compulsory. But at the same time you should know that image conveys a lot of meaning to your articles and themes.
Usage of image will definitely increase the look and feel of your site. It also enhance the visitors experience. But these are not compulsory aspects compared to content.
It is sure that images will not get more importance than content other than the photogallery sites. But the usage of image will certainly help for the free traffic. Yes, when you add the image in the site with proper alt text (Alt text is the name you give to the image. You should provide a meaningful and relevant alt text for the image so that the search engine will read the image alt text and classify accordingly)
You should be aware the free traffic from google, yahoo, aol and msn not only comes from the search results, it also displays your site in the images search. Lots of searches are made in the image section of the search engine.
Given the correct alt tags and keyword you image will appear in the search result and your site will be found from the image. This is a mojor benefit as far as the search engines are concerned.
You should also aware the image will be protected by copyrights. So you should not use images just copying from some sites. If you copy a image with copyright free image that’s fine. But the quality of the image might not be good.
There are many stock photo sites which provides high quality images. Normally priced for a $ 1. But I can suggest you a best resource for less cost. It is shutterstock.com. You can download 25 images per day for 30 days for a cost of $ 200, which works to mere 27 cents per photo. This is really a good deal.
So put the relevant photos to your site and make it look great.
