Optimizing Meta Tags

Optimizing Meta Tags

Meta tags are added to a webpage to increase its visibility in the search
engine. The Meta tags consist of three important components which are title,
description and keyword. The title is the most commonly used Meta tag. It is
displayed on top of the browser window. It acts as the title of the
document. The Meta description is not shown on the browser but it is shown
in the search result. The Meta description is often used in a webpage that
does not contain text content. For example, in an art gallery site, the
whole page displays only the picture. Since no text is placed on the site,
you have to use the Meta description to optimize it with keywords. The Meta
tags are usually added under the head tags. The Meta tags for each page
should be unique. In this way, you can avoid duplication problem.

You should use a different Meta tags for each page in the website. The best
keyword research tool for researching keyword is the Google AdWords keyword
tool. The new Google AdWords keyword tool offers many improved functions.
The keyword tool allows you to analyze a keyword based on the competition,
number of searches, CPC and etc. The Meta keywords is the least important of
all the Meta tags. Some people like to take advantage of the Meta keywords
by spamming it with a huge list of keywords.

The Meta keywords should not exceed more than 255 characters. If the Meta
keywords exceed 255 characters, it will be considered spam by the search
engine. Your site may be blacklisted by the search engine as a spam site
because of including too many keywords. You can use multiple word as one
keyword. In order for the search engine to recognize a phrase as a single
keyword, you have to use the comma. The most important keyword should be
positioned in front followed by the less important keywords.

Where can QR Codes be placed?

Where can QR Codes be placed? The answer to this is almost anywhere! QR Code printing can be done in newspapers, magazines, brochures, leaflets and on business cards. Further to this they can be put on product packaging or labels, or on billboards or even walls. You could even tattoo a QR Code on your body - now that would be an interesting take on giving a girl/guy your number in a bar! You can use QR Codes on a website but they should not generally be used as a substitute for an old-fashioned hyperlink because obviously the user is already online and doesn't really want to fiddle around with their phone only to find a website they could have just clicked through to in half the time. If you have any questions or comments please contact me.

Optimize - Tweet Regularly

Optimize - Tweet Regularly This is the biggest obstacle for authors. But it is key to promotion. It doesn't matter if you only have two followers and one is your mom, you still need to tweet daily, to be effective. If you don't have something to write, then RT something funny or useful. Another way is to connect your blog to your twitter account, then every "post" you write is automatically "tweeted" on Twitter.

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...
