Check Search Engine Ranking Strategies

Check Search Engine Ranking Strategies

Your search engine ranking is the position of your website on any
particular search engine (Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc).

Because search engines favor the high-ranking sites, you need to check
your search engine ranking continuously and find ways to improve your
ranking. There are many free tools that can allow you to do this. Page
ranks range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest (and virtually
impossible to achieve). Even a rank of 1 on Google is considered high.

In order to obtain a high search engine rank, you need to employ SEO
(search engine optimization) techniques. And this can take a significant
amount of time and/or money depending on whether or not you do it
yourself of hire someone else to do it. SEO software is also a viable
option to consider.

If you've decided that you want to be the one to check your search
engine ranking yourself, and to take care of the SEO for your website,
you'll need to make a daily habit of performing activities that build
incoming links to your website and using the right keywords. Incoming
links greatly influence your page ranking. If you can get a high-ranking
site to link to your website, you will bypass a great deal of your
competition.

However, obtaining these links can often take quite a bit of time and
patience. There are several ways to go about this. You can write to
other webmasters and ask them to link to you. You can submit your site
to online directories. You can do article marketing. You can use a
social bookmarking strategy. The list goes on and on. But the most
important concept of all is that the information you offer on your site
must be valuable. It is much easier to obtain links to your site when
you are offering information that your visitors (or other webmasters)
find valuable.

Keyword optimizing your site is also part of the SEO strategy, although
less important than incoming links. The best ways to go about using the
right keywords is to use the free keyword tools offered by all of the
search engines. These free keyword tools tell you exactly what people
are searching for on the internet.

Check out the words that pertain to the industry and use these words on
your website. If you're just starting out, go with very detailed
keywords and not the general highly-searched and highly competitive
ones. It's estimated that about 60% of searches online consist of two to
three keywords so try to stick with phrases that fit that. Make sure you
use your keyword phrases in important places on your website like
titles, headings, sub-headings, etc.

Whether you manage to optimize your website on your own, with the help
of a consultant or agency, or with software programs to check search
engine ranking, you will see that your position continues to climb and
this will bring in more traffic to your website.

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 ...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

What Are QR codes?

What Are QR codes? They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...
