are just some seo techniques. Please contact SEO South Africa for an website
audit.

Content is king, so make sure you have unique, up to date relevant content.

Do keyword research, make sure your keywords have got high search volume,
ideally with low competition for the key word.

Focus on keyword phrases rather than single or short keywords, long tail
keywords will get you found easier.

Use the keywords in your text links (anchor text) the more relevant the
better the results.

Make "http://www.yoursite.com" your preferred site. in other words redirect
"http://yoursite.com" with a 301 redirect.

If you have any home page links, index.html, point them to
http://www.yoursite.com

Frames and Flash are best not to be used on any pages you planning to
optimise, if so make sure you have credible content on the page.

Blog, Blog, Blog, especially if your website content does not change often,
spiders love fresh content.

Link building is long term and is all about quality and not quantity check
the reputation and page rank of websites you looking to get links from.

Make sure your website is easy to use.

Create CTA's, without call to action pages your seo efforts may all lead to
nothing

Add "ALT tags" to your images - make sure your images are named to optimise
seo image searches.

Understand how social media marketing works, its a big part of seo
development.


my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

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 ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy.

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. ...
