Obtaining unique traffic for a website by promoting for giving publicity is known as SEO. In simple words, making a website popular is known as Search Engine Optimization. The number of impressions of a website is known as traffic. Impressions are page views of a website. Structuring the website search engine friendly by adopting the algorithms of search engine is the primary aim of SEO. The Search engine optimization is performed for getting visitors from the search engine. The people who perform search engine optimization are known as Search Engine Optimizer. Most of the optimizers perform search engine optimization by following algorithms or rules of Google search Engine as Google Search Engine is the best Search Engine in the web world. But we can even perform search Engine optimization by adopting MSN, yahoo, Alexa algorithms, if we are interested to rank our website in these search engines also. Actually if we have better rank in Google then automatically in some of search Engines our website will rank high. But Google is the best among all the search engines and most of the users prefer Google search Engines only. We can even get traffic very easily through social media and social websites.
Content is very important
Content is the first step of SEO. If the website contains quality SEO content by using good keywords, then there will be good traffic to the website. Getting leads from the website is the success of the website and SEO. Without search engine Optimization no website can be successful. Make website appears in top 10 websites in the search engine for a particular keyword used by the end users to obtain the information they desire.
Organic SEO
Organic search engine optimization is best for a website. But using tools and paying money to get traffic for advertising the website in less time is not a healthy traffic for a website. The words typed by the end users in the search box for obtaining the desired information are known as keywords. Without SEO no search Engine can recognize a website because every Search Engine is built by following few algorithms. Therefore, algorithms vary from one search engine to other search engines. Google search Engine is very strict, and search engines like yahoo, Bing are very liberal.
People feel that Search Engines rate websites, but the fact is search engines rate web pages. We can learn search engine optimization very well through the web. Search Engine ranks websites with their page rank and traffic. But first it gives priority to page rank and then traffic. Page rank will be given by the Google according to the traffic and back links of the website.
How search engine operates
There are 2 functions of search Engine which are very important.
- Crawling
- Indexing
Crawling
These are also known as crawls, spiders, robots and bots. When our website is submitted to the search Engine then the bots of the search engine will enter into our website and they start studying our website and the content present in the website. They bind each and every page of the website automatically by studying. Actually every search Engine contains some millions and trillions of bots with different algorithms. But these bots cannot study any coding and images, especially java script. So when we include an image we use ALT tag to the image so that they can read the image also.
Indexing
When we type our website name in the Google search box then our website should appear. This is known as Indexing. For indexing a website, it takes a few days. The content in the website is indexed by html text and images with related formats.
Simply SEO makes our website easy searchable by the users.
There are two types of SEO
- On Page Optimization
- Off Page Optimization
On page Optimization :
Optimization of elements which are present on the website is known as On page Optimization.
Off Page Optimization:
The techniques used to promote a website are known as off page optimization.
No website can become successful without performing both off page and on page optimization.
SEO is not just a free traffic. When you want to be successful in performing SEO to your website then you should keep in mind that your website goal and the goal of the end user match. For example, the goal of your website is to sell a pen drive. Then the aim of end users should be to purchase the pen drive. So both the goals are related to each other. Therefore, both goals matched and SEO becomes successful for your website. According to our goal, we should optimize with a related keyword. So in the above example the keywords will be like ‘Get a pen drive’, ‘4gb Pen drive’ etc
How to find right Keywords
There are 2 methods of finding right keywords.
- Manual
- Tools
Manual
This is done through research. Suppose the content in the website is about Dhokla recipe. So to perform SEO we need to use the right keywords in this recipe article. Therefore, type Dhokla recipe in Google search box. A list of websites appears in Google with the Dhokla recipe keyword highlighted. So in Google, you can view related keywords of this keyword. The related keywords like Dhokla Recipe, Besan Dhokla Recipe, Gujarati Dhokla recipe, Gujarati Instant snack, Indian vegetarian dhokla, khatta dhokla, white dhokla, rava dhokla recipe, suji dhokla recipe etc.
Tools
There are numerous tools available for searching the right keywords which are specially designed. Some of the tools are word tracker and Google adword tool. Most of the search engine optimizers and content writers use Google adword tool. In this tool when we give a keyword in the column, then it will show the demand of the keyword and related keywords with their priority. Therefore, we need to analyze those keywords which are useful and insert in our articles, titles, descriptions and keywords.
Search engine Optimization can be performed for a website and even to blogs. In search engine Optimization everything depends upon the keywords only. Therefore, we can say keywords play a key role in the performance of SEO.
Actually On page Optimization is more important compared to the off page optimization. But both of them are mandatory for the success of the website. It is mostly working with html tags. Some of the techniques we implement in this optimization are
- Keyword analysis
- Building site map.
- Meta Tags development.
On page optimization deals with the elements on the webpage for a particular website to get maximum results from the search engines for targeted keyword.
Meta tag development
There are 3 meta tags:
- Title
- Description
- Keyword
Title
The title size must have 53 characters. The keywords of the website must be inserted in the title. The titles included in the title tag are the first information on the website. So the title must be attractive, informative and contains keywords. Therefore, by seeing the title the end users get attracted and visit our website by clicking on our website link. The title which we insert in the title tag will display at the top of the website in blue bar. If the title size extends 53 then it won’t be attractive and after 53 characters remaining characters won’t display and instead of them dots {….} will display.
Syntax of title:
<title>Text</title>
The syntax of title is same as html title tag. <Title> is the opening tag of the title tag and </Title> is the closing tag of the title tag. In the place of the Text we should write our title.
For example:
<title>latest technical devices</title>
Description
It is also known as Meta description. The description size must be 160 characters only. Meta description is the description for a particular page. So when we have a website and performing On page optimization then we should write Meta description for each and every page for the website. Even meta description also should contain keywords and it should be informative and attractive. It should be written brief about the website. So it is also very important. After seeing the title, the end user goes to the description. The description is the valuable information and should be written in interesting manner. Then the end user will surely visit the website. If the number of characters of the Meta description exceeds 160 characters then the description will be displayed in the search engine up to 160 characters and remaining character will not be displayed and instead of them dot will be displayed {…}.
Syntax of Meta description:
<Meta name=“description “content=”....“>
In this syntax Meta is a tag, name means content name, so it is description and content means the description which you want to insert.
Example:
<Meta name=”description” content=” Techno coverage consists all kinds of technical devices like mobiles, tablets, computers etc”>
Keywords:
It is also known as Meta keyword. We can insert only 30 keywords. If it extends the limit then it leads to spamming. For finding correct keywords we should implement keyword analysis or keyword research. We even need to check the popularity of the keyword before inserting them.
First we have to analyze the keywords by ourselves. For that we need to assume ourselves as end users. Then only we can reach the correct keywords which end user use. For clear understanding, suppose there is a website about technology. And it needs right keywords. Then we need assume ourselves as an end user who is searching for technology. So choose those keywords we prefer to type in the Google search box. Suppose the keyword is Latest galaxy 800 tablet. So this is a keyword and by research we can find near keywords also and their popularity. Then only we should include them in our keyword tag. So when end user type that keyword in the Google search Box then the page related to that keyword will appear first in the search engine.
All these meta tag development should be implement through view source of the webpage by using tools like dreamweaver.
Off page Optimization:
In Off page Optimization we mostly work with link building or getting back links for visibility and popularity.
