Hi forks, welcome to the Google Traffic Tips for Beginners, your beginners guide for your future web or blog traffic. It has been a week since i have posted my last post related to Google traffic and I have decided that I want to speak about SEO, well I will post few post related to SEO in coming weeks and this is the first post.
What is Search engine optimization or SEO, Search engine optimization or SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via Natural search results for targeted keywords. Well lot of people used to give different definitions for this; well I have listed if of them for your references,
- The practice of designing web pages so that they rank as high as possible in search results from search engines
- Getting your website search engine friendly as to be received and submit as requested by the search engines protocol.
- Techniques that enable your site to appear higher in a list of search engine results
- SEO seeks to increase a site’s visibility in search engines and enhance its value to visitors through topical page design, consistent HTML tagging, and focusing content on core keywords.
- Type of search engine marketing in which a site is created or modified specifically to improve its ranking among unpaid search engine listings.
- Designing or modifying a website so that it does well in the un-paid, organic listings of search engines.
- Creating and improving a website so that it will rank high in the search engines and help potential customers or clients find the website.
- The process of fine tuning the content of a site along with the html and meta tags so that it is search engine friendly (and we hope people friendly at the same time).
- It is a process of optimizing a website in order to gain top positions on search engines for various keywords, and drive more traffic to the site.
Well I think, if you read what i have listed here carefully, you will have a feel of what is actually, Search engine optimization all about. I think I don’t have to tell it to your again. Well why we all need traffic, well visitors or traffic to our web sites or blogs like Oxygen to us, without that we will be lost in the this world of Universe. More precisely world of Google Sea. If visitors cant search and find your site, then obliviously chances of they will find your site is next to nothing. Yes, believe me they will never find you. You will be the only visitor vesting your site. So forks it is very important you understand this.
Speaking of Search engine optimization there are two ways of doing it. First way is the more nice way, that is adding more unique content to your site and insures it is for actual users not for search engine. May be ya, for more for user and little for search engine as well. It is very important that your site is search engine robots friendly as well. Doesn’t matter how good is your site, if search engine crawler or robot is unable to find you, your boom!! . The second way is called black hat or spamindexing, which use methods like link farm and keyword stuffing and all those way to break in to search engine algorithm. This is not very good way if you guys interested in that, I’m sorry there is nothing you can find here related to that category. I'm old enough :) to understand that Google is big enough and burning lot of mid night oil for their search algorithm and i would not possible be able to break it. If I’m lucky enough to do that, chances of holding it to will be very low. So I’m more interested in doing legitimacy work and I don’t have time to waste. I'm advising you forks to never try to go for those easy ways, never give a dim for any one who promise they will get your site list in Google in first. Those are lies and there is no short cut for that too.
Quick definition for you, Indexing,
For a while you may be going through this word. Indexing which is, various engines which would send a spider to "crawl" that page, extract links to other pages from it, and return information found on the page to be indexed.
Now we looking to SAO, what is SAO, Search engine optimization can be divided in to three parts,
1. On Page Search Optimization2. Off Page Search Optimization
3. Out of the Box methods
Well, I think it is not a good idea for me to sell all the things in this "Google Optimization Tips for beginners". That is why I name this part one. There will be few parts in this I will post every thing in order so that you can understand what I'm talking. For the movement, give a rest to your heads; don’t worry on Page Search and Off Page Search Optimization. Just give a try to following, you will be just fine. Please note that in order to do SEO, you have to have a good site :). Without a quality site you can't achieve any of the things i have been listed here.
