What You Need To Know About Search Engine Optimization

By Lynda Eastes


Search engines don't necessarily make it easy to achieve high ranking through user keyword searches, but it is worth the effort. When writing articles, if you thoughtfully (overdoing it will backfire) shift some of your focus to SEO (search engine optimization), you can raise your site's traffic, as well as your rank for certain keyword searches. Hopefully, these tips will help and inspire you.

If you are going to spend money at all in your SEO efforts, a wise buy would be to open a PPC account. A pay-per-click campaign with Google or any other competitor will help you get your site ranked highly in a hurry. There's nothing these big companies behind search engines love more than money, so it's a "shortcut" for the people who can afford it.

Your homepage carries roughly 50 percent of the weight in searches. Up to 5 percent of your copy and links throughout the site should be weighted with keywords and phrases. This density will give depth to searches and bring your site closer to the top rankings on the major engines.

There is no sense in optimizing your site for "hooded sweatshirts" if your target market calls them "hoodies." You simply must know what words people are actually using, not what you think they use. One invaluable tool in your quest is Google Insights, which will show you, in incredible detail, patterns of Google searches, either globally or by country, stretching back to 2004. Get a solid handle on the words people ACTUALLY use to find what they're looking for and you can have confidence in the keywords that you choose for SEO.

While trying to optimize search engine results do not use frames. Frames can ruin a website's encounter with search engines. Search engines do not recognize frames as websites. If your website applies and uses frames, search engines will only index the home page and there is no guarantee the search engine will even do that!

Plan your website so that the structure is clean and you avoid going too deeply into directories. Every page you write for your website should be no more than three clicks away from the homepage. People, and search engines, like to find the information they are looking for, quickly and easily.

One crucial strategy for search engine optimization is to integrate internal links into your web site. Linking to pages on your own site will help boost traffic to those pages. When you add new content to your site, be sure to link back to your archives and use anchor text that includes many relevant keywords.

While purchasing a domain name may seem like the right way to go, many search engines do not recommend it. Some search engines have a long delay for adding new sites to their existing lists, and the last thing you want is to delay getting new visitors. Using your existing website is more feasible, since the wait time for some engines is up to a full year.

You have found that search engine optimization doesn't have to be difficult. An educated, common sense approach, goes a long way towards raising your site's visibility, as well as, its rank. Apply the advice you have discovered here and you will be sure to enjoy the rewards of higher traffic.

Bobby Jain Credit Suisse: How Are Nintendo's Profits?

By Rob Sutter When looking at the big video game companies we all know and love, Nintendo does not seem to have as much awareness to consider.
