Description meta tag

As the description meta tag implies, it provides a description of the web page or site.

Effective use of robots.txt

The purpose of robots.txt is to signal the search engines whether to crawl your site and what locations (i.e. pages or directories) should not be accessed.

Search engines send their crawlers every so often to crawl and index the content of web sites. And there may be times where when you want to keep certain directories or folders from getting crawled (for security reasons).

In order to setup the permissions to certain directories or pages, you must configure the robots.txt file using the settings as seen in Figure.......

Optimized URLs

An effective SEO strategy is to define a website structure that is user readable and intuitive.

This means organizing the pages of the website into directories or folders with readable and meaningful names, down to the names of the individual web page files.

In doing this, not only will the site appear well organized to a human reader, “but it could also lead to better crawling of your documents by search engines”

Example of a non-intuitive URL.


Better structured and highly optimized URL.

you can see a better structured and highly optimized URL.

Users who come across similar URLs such as this will have a better idea of what the web page is about.

This is helpful to both users and search engines, because self-explanatory and self-documenting URLs

provide more useful information about the page and its content.


Content first

Search engines process web pages from left to right, top to bottom. So a strategic way to structure a web page is to place the most important text at the top.

The first paragraph should contain your target keyword (or set of keywords) and it should describe what users will find if they continue reading.

Image Optimization (Alt text)

The content of the modern Web is multimedia in nature, and images play a big role.

The alt attribute from the <img> HTML tag specifies the alternative text of what the image is about in case the image doesn’t load or cannot be displayed correctly

This short text description is helpful to the search engines and to people with disabilities so they can understand what’s contained on the image.

So now lets know about the Off Page Optimization


Off Page Optimization

Off-page SEO is primarily focused on acquiring backlinks from reputable sites in a gradual reputation-building process

Any technique that the SEO engineers can create that accomplishes this goal is by definition a candidate off-page SEO technique

it is an open-ended process and is driven by the SEO engineer’s individual creativity.

Off-page SEO is more about building relationships with other sites through the development and promotion of attractive web content and reaching out to people who run similar websites in hopes of getting backlinks


Importance of back-links

If dozens of links point to a page with the right keywords, that page has a very good probability of ranking well for the targeted phrase that appears in the anchor text.

As a result, the Adobe Reader download page has tens of thousands of back-links; thus, it ranks high for the keyword “click here.


Importance of quality contentAs you create web pages, it’s critical to understand that in

order to get back-links, you need to publish content that make people want to share, read and link to.

For this to occur, your content has to provide value, be interesting and/or be unique.

Google says that “effectively promoting your new content will lead to faster discovery by those who are interested in the same subject.


Writing articles to establish domain authority

Another strategy that can help your site get back-links is by writing useful articles that provide value.

In addition to providing valuable content on your website, you can also write valuable articles and submit them to trusted sites such as About.com, Wikipedia.org or NewYorkTimes.com.

Getting a back-link from high-authority site such as these will greatly increase your website’s reputation and help you achieve higher rankings.


Riskier link-building methods

Buying links from link brokers :-- There exist link brokers that sell or lease space on highly trafficked sites. This method can help in your SEO and in getting traffic, but this method is also not recommended. Google has advised all websites to avoid “purchasing links from another site with the aim of getting Page-Rank instead of traffic.

Buy natural links :-- These are links that seem as if they were organically acquired, but instead were paid for. If you have connections with someone at a high authority site, you can purchase a link (or links) from them. While this may help in your SEO and rankings, this practice is not recommended. Your site risks getting penalized for such procedures.
