Search Engine Optimisation UK

Posted by admin – September 29, 2009

Links are what seem to make the internet go ‘round and they certainly make it quick and easy to get from one page to another, or follow up on some background information on offer. However, when it comes to optimising your website and ranking well with major search engines like Google you will benefit from knowing as much as possible about the different links you can incorporate into your website’s design, and what each one can achieve.

The two main types of links your website should have to ensure its search engine optimisation, are one way links and reciprocal links.

One way links are exactly what they sound like, a link which is only a one way street, but the direction of that linking street is what is important to your website’s optimisation success, when all roads lead to your site. While one way links seem to be going against the grain of the interconnected nature of the internet, this sort of link building can actually be highly beneficial if you can achieve it in the first place.

However, the reason why one way links are so beneficial is actually the same reason they can be so hard to secure – having one way links, coming into your website means that your site is somewhere worth being, and therefore somewhere worth linking to. This is what search engines like to see as they only want to rank sites well which will be helpful to their searchers and if numerous other web users have deemed your site useful enough to link to, then the search engine gives this a lot of weight when determining your ranking.

To achieve one way links to your website though, you have to put in the hard work as there are no shortcuts to make users think your website is useful and informative when it isn’t. But it’s not impossible, as a dedicated SEO expert should be able to help your website reap the benefits of one way links.

Reciprocal links to your website however, are those which you actively seek from other websites, in return for your site linking back to theirs too. In reciprocating links to and from your own website, you are actively choosing to be associated with these other sites. This is why reciprocal links can actually sometimes do more harm than good to your site, because quality – as always – is more important than quantity.

This means that the websites you reciprocate links with must be relevant to your own website, company, business and online presence as while linking between sites is seen as a good thing by most search engines, this is only true if it is helpful to your website visitors. Reciprocating links with websites similar to your own will mean that the sites you link to will be just as helpful and relevant to your visitors as your own site, therefore in recommending your site to search engine users by awarding it a high ranking, the search engine knows there is plenty of useful, helpful and relevant information there for its searchers.

Building links into, and into and out of your website can help you move steadily up the most popular search engine rankings for your keywords. However, if overused or used incorrectly, link building can actually have the opposite effect, so now that you know the benefits of increasing your link popularity, seek out expert SEO advice on how to make links work for your site.

A Glossary Of Search Engine Optimisation Terms

Posted by admin – September 16, 2009

The world of search engine optimisation is confusing for the lay reader at the best of times. With specialists bandying about terms that mean absolutely nothing to those without the knowledge, understanding of these terms is essential. Naturally the logical place to start any glossary is with an alphabetical methodology; the hope of this article is to help the lay reader gain an understanding of the search engine optimisation industry giving some idea of how it works, so starting at A:

ALT Text/Attribute and Anchor Text. The search engine optimisation industry relies upon ALT text attached to an image to attract search engine spiders with textual information. Anchor text is a phrase that is likely to be used by searchers and hence is linked back to a website to make that website more popular in the search engine rankings.

Cloaking is a rather unscrupulous method of search engine optimisation that is used by ‘black hat’ SEO companies. Also defined as unethical, it involves presenting the search engine spiders with a different page from the one that the human user sees. These unseen pages are heavily laden with keywords to attract the spiders and once again, increase rankings. However, using this process will eventually result in harsh penalties from search engines such as de-listing that will render your site practically useless.

Directories and DMOZ. Directories are websites that contain listings of links from all over the web in a categorised form. DMOZ is the most widely used directory in the optimisation industry. This is because it is the largest with many affiliate directories; its human based approach does take longer than other directories but results are ultimately more worthwhile.

Ethical search engine optimisation. This is SEO carried out without employing underhand or unscrupulous methods. Also known as search engine compliance, it attempts to raise site rankings by conforming to the laws of the search engine regulators.

Gateway page. This can be defined as an unethical from of optimisation that optimises a page with the intention of leading visitors from one page to another. Subsequently the gateway page has no real value and hence the search engine regulators frown upon the practise.

Inbound links. A process of optimisation that uses links from external websites to raise the popularity of the site, naturally the more links the better.

Key phrase, Keyword, Keyword analysis and spamming. A keyword is a word that will have a link to the important information on the page, in conjunction with this a key phrase is a collection of keywords. Keyword analysis is the process of discovering which keywords will be useful to target in order to increase traffic to a site. Keyword spamming however is a ‘black hat’ method of optimisation that crams a page with keywords in order to attract the search engine spiders.

Link farm and popularity. Link farm is an unethical form of search engine optimisation that creates a webpage with the singular purpose of linking to other sites. As it is a clear attempt to increase link popularity it is held in contempt by search engines. Popularity is how a search engine sees your website in terms of the quantity and quality of links.

META tags. These are the tags at the top of a webpage that provide extra information on the page’s contents.

Natural links. These are links that have been created because an external party has found the information on a particular website useful. These are very powerful and hold a lot of sway with the search engine spiders.

On and off page elements. Off page elements are factors outside the control of a website developer such as incoming links, on page elements are the opposite of this and are under the direct control of the developer such as content and META tags.

Page rank. Page rank is a tool that allows the measuring of site rankings as an icon on the toolbar. The system is however becoming outdated and less widespread.

Reciprocal links and robots. Reciprocal links are the links that are created as a result of communication between two specific sites, although they are somewhat artificial their main purpose is to create traffic from one site to another. Robots are simply an alternative name for search engine spiders.

Site maps and spiders. Site maps are tree-like formations that give information on the content of a website while spiders are the software that search engines use to include websites to their database of information.

Unethical SEO. This is the process of search engine optimisation that utilises ‘black hat’ techniques in an attempt to hoodwink spiders to increase site rankings and popularity.

This is simply an outline of the terms used in the search engine optimisation industry; it has hopefully given the lay reader a better idea of the processes and elements that are involved in optimisation. This article however will not make you an expert; if everyone could undertake SEO themselves the need for specialists would be negated.

Ethical Search Engine Optimisation UK

Posted by admin – September 15, 2009

Search Engine Optimisation is carried out to gain higher rankings for a website. To do this, the site’s existing pages are modified so that they match search engine’s ranking algorithm. SEO is a time intensive and a long term procedure and takes time in delivering concrete results.

Ethical search engine optimisation is following SEO practices that are acceptable to the search engines. Unethical practices include creating link farms, building doorway or cloaking pages, purchasing links, using multiple domains with similar content, and using automated software to trick the search engines. These unethical practices produce contrary results and harm the website in the long run.

When SEO is carried out while working with the search engines and by abiding by the search engine rules, these practices are termed as ethical SEO practices. Semantic SEO is also one of the ethical SEO techniques that are recognized by the search engines.

Semantic based Search Engine Optimisation or Latent Semantic Indexing is a technique where first the content is carefully analyzed to sort out a list of keywords that are used for SEO purposes instead of focusing on a single keyword. This is done to ensure the relevancy of the content when it is displayed in the browser. As all the major search engines recognize semantic SEO, it helps to rank the website naturally in the search engines. It is a safer technique to use and much preferred than the Spam techniques, which can get your website penalised.

Top Search Engine Optimisation Tips

Posted by admin – September 14, 2009

Long gone are the days when a company could simply build a website and expect it to perform well. This is especially true in the world of e-commerce and on-line sales, where competition can be fierce. In modern times every website launched will need to take advantage of the services offered by a search engine optimisation(SEO) firm to ensure its ultimate success. However what about those business owners who are not able to afford the services of an SEO professional at first? Surely there are some basic steps that can be taken to ensure that a website is optimized for search engines? Below we will present some basic search engine optimization tips for the layman.

Domain name and URL – Always make sure that your domain name is indicative of the services you offer. Quite simply an online camera store using the domain name wesellstuff.com would do far less well than one which employed the domain name camerasforsale.com if both were the same age and had the same amount of promotion and SEO performed on them. In a similar fashion it is important that the page URLs within the site structure are relevant. Using the camera shop as an example again http://www.camerasforsale.com/discount_slr_cameras.htm would be far better than http://www.camerasforsale.com/cams?123.

META data – All page titles, META descriptions and META tags should be 100% relevant to the pages. Page titles are especially important and fall a close second behind the domain name and URL structure in being the most effective SEO techniques to use. When it comes to the META keywords do not be tempted to stuff this string with too many keywords. Keep the list of key phrases short and always remember that the most weight is given to the key phrases at the left hand end of the string, with the weight diminishing moving to the right.

Content is king – Make sure that your website content is refreshed regularly. Regular and new content is the best way to keep the search engines coming back to index your site, as well as ensuring that the likes of Google, Yahoo and MSN see your website as not being stagnant, hence more likely to be returned higher in the search engine ranking position. Fresh content is also a great way to gain new visitors and hopefully a good selection of organic backlinks over time.

Start link building – One of the main tasks performed by a search engine organization company is the building of backlinks. These links directly affect how popular the major search engines deem your site to be. This in turn affects the likelihood of your site being returned high in search engine results.

So there we have it, three very simple tips designed to give the SEO layman a few ideas upon how best to tackle top level SEO for any website. Although these tips only scratch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the techniques employed by a professional search engine optimisation firm, they are among the most successful techniques employed.

Using Search Engine Optimisation Effectively

Posted by admin – September 12, 2009

 

Search Engine optimisation can change your business forever. It can mean the difference between having a website and having a successful website. A good search engine optimisation plan can bring your website some much needed life into it.

A website that has used search engine optimisation properly will not only be much easier to find but it will also make your website faster as well as smarter and to top it off a lot more profitable than before. You need a search engine optimisation plan that focuses on certain keywords within your website and makes your website easier to see for the search engines.

Making your site better with search engine optimisation has a huge wealth of all kinds of advantages. To start with and the most important factor is that it increases your visibility within then search engines; this then in turn makes your website more accessible to clients and relevant traffic.

The term search engine optimisation is the sometimes complicated but if done right simple process of making your website search engine friendly. It does this is two ways; in a technical manner and in a content manner as well.

Usually making your website more search engine friendly includes a few things that need to be done. A search engine optimisation plan would have to include the changing of your title tags and Meta tags within the website. Also the template of your website can have a factor on your search engine optimisation plan and so can the navigation.

Where your titles are concerned within your website they can be very effective within your search engine optimisation plan. Your title tag only needs to have your main keyword within it. This will make it more effective within the search engines. Every page on your website can have a title tag; make them as relevant to that particular page as you can. You are trying to optimise your website and make it fit entirely within your niche. Do not be tempted to put catchy phrases or gimmicks within the title tag. Make it as clean as possible and make it relevant, doing this properly will ensure that your search engine optimisation plan is going to succeed in the long run.

Moving on from the title tags and onto keywords; you have to have relevant and useful keywords for your website. Think about it logically; what would you search for in a search engine if you were looking for similar services or products? Instead of just having keywords, try using key phrases as well. This will benefit your search engine optimisation plan hugely.

When you have decided on your keywords then you need to incorporate them into your text. The text on your website should be relevant to the products or the services that you are going to offer and make sure you fit plenty of keywords into the text you write. Search engine optimisation plans that are successful are more or less purely based on keywords and key phrases; this is why they are so important to get right.

You should always add new information onto your website on a regular basis; not only will this help your search engine optimisation plan but it will also keep your clients and customers happy and informed of new products and services etc.

Try to just have your website associated around one particular theme; if you have too many different things on your website it makes it difficult for the search engines to read and then sort according to your keywords and key phrases.

Search engine optimisation is not a quick process, but done right it can make the world of difference!

Link Building: Bouncing Google PageRank Back to Your Web Site with Squidoo

Posted by admin – September 9, 2009

Here is one powerful way you can incorporate Squidoo and similar types of web sites into your search engine optimization and promotion campaign. This concept, which I’m referring to as “bouncing,” is sound for any of the major search engines because they all take links into account when ranking web sites.

In a nutshell, this is the process of linking to a high PageRank web site that also links back to your web site. The purpose is to help Google or another search engine spider find the site, so that it can then find the link back to your site. It probably seems much like link swapping, but we are mainly concerned with certain types of web sites where we control the process of placing a link back to our web site.

This strategy works with social bookmarking sites like Delicious and Digg, as well as sites like Squidoo that allow you to post HTML content. Social bookmarking has incredible power if you systematically bookmark high quality content on your web site. If your content is good enough, you can grow your links exponentially.

The remainder of this article will deal with Squidoo. It lets you create pages (called “lenses” in Squidoo terminology) with links to anything you want, and you have complete control of the content on those pages. Google indexes and ranks Squidoo pages with much enthusiasm, and the site’s home page has a very high PageRank. Certain other pages in Squidoo, such as lists of tags, also tend to have high PageRank.

Remember, PageRank is spread from site to site via links (unless the links are “nofollow” links). Squidoo tags pages, which are pages that list keywords people have used to categorize their Squidoo lenses, can have high PageRank values. The tags pages link to a list of pages that use those tags, with those pages in turn linking to the Squidoo lenses that use those tags. So PageRank can be passed from the tags page, to a list of sites, to your Squidoo lens. You can then place a link on your Squidoo lens to your web site. Your Squidoo lenses will also have a list of tags which link to the tags pages.

So the “bouncing” referred to above refers to the process of placing a link from your web site or blog to your Squidoo lens (or another Squidoo page), so that search engine spiders can make their way from your web site to Squidoo and back to your web site, at which point you hopefully pick up some PageRank passed back from Squidoo.

If your main site is not indexed in Google or in another particular search engine, then this strategy does not work. The search engine needs to find your site to begin with, unless it finds your Squidoo lens first and finds your site that way, which would be great but not really a “bounce.” Your Google rankings will improve as you bounce search engine spiders to other web sites, only to have them bounce right back, passing PageRank along with them.
