[S197]Search Engine Optimization Program

by Simranrimpy, Sim

Sometimes we get lost in our quest for that illusive number one spot on our favorite search engine. SEO or search engine optimization has many sections which are all important. Including hotmail, special wording placement, titles, tags and content for our on page design to name a few. But none are as important to our off page agenda. In my opinion off page optimization holds ten times more weight or has much more relevance when considering how search engines rank your site .For more details visit to www.search-engine-premiere.com. For the most part it all revolves around your inbound links. Let's look at a few key factors.

Linking your way up the Google ranks

- You want quality websites linking into you

- You want multitudes linking in

- You want websites with the same niche as yours

- You want the links from them to contain your keywords

The list is endless, but you're starting to get the picture. Let's start off with saying we want on subject, important, highly ranked websites linking into us. We also want the same websites linking into them to be of the best quality sites. If possible, they also need to be on target with our subject niche. The links into sites linking to ours is important; it gives them credibility, and in turn gives us credibility. Put simply would you hire a company with 3 employees or 300? I want them all but that are beside the point. For this discussion we want to thing big.

We want inbound links to fuel our rise to the top of the search engines. Easier said than done right? We can take the long route and do everything manually or we can get it simplified. I like gathering links from my competition. No it's not immoral, it's not wrong, it can be done and I'm positively not the first. I'm serious, if we had the exact same inbound links and I had my competitors' inbound link that would rank higher in the search engines? Ok, now do you want to know how to do that? Analyze your competing WebPages. Maximizing on page we would view their source. That will show you how many inbound links they have.

So, to be serious about this, if your webpage is structured like your competition, and you gather more links, bingo, you're on top for a change. The fact is, Google ranks pages on their inbound links heavily and the on page substance is just icing on the cake.

I'm sure you noticed that I said good quality inbound links to the websites linking to us. That is also very important. You can get a little added value from the search engines if the quality links go a few levels deep, and who's to say if you don't go after getting those links themselves versus just settling for the website they are linking to? Just remember when I say quality link, I mean the link it comes from, which is directed to your webpage contains your webpage theme in their title, subtitles, alt tags, etc. We are after value, so make sure our inbound links contain on subject text in sync with our webpage theme as well.

With millions of websites competing with each other to find space in the top listings of search engines, the search engine optimization process is fast gaining importance. This is a process of making the web site “search engine friendly” so as to enable your website to be ranked high in search results. In other words, we make the website design and content as easy as possible for the search engine to realize that your web site is an important match.

The common belief among people, who are new to the field of search engines, is that the rankings of the web site involve human aspect, whereas the fact is that it is purely an automated process. There are more than 4 billion web pages indexed by Google. It is humanly impossible to maintain that large volume; therefore, search engines employ automated computer programs. These computer programs, known as “search engine spiders” automatically look at each web site and methodically determine the search terms under which the web site will appear.

Though the search engine optimization process is unformulated, many of its aspects are well defined and involve the website design and content, its marketing strategy and popularity. There are many steps involved in the process of search engine optimization and the following is a general overview of this process in order to understand the basic aspects.

Analysis of the Keyword

The first aspect is to determine the phrases and the keywords to be optimized in the
website. Study your products or services and enter the mind of the potential visitor or customer to your website. In order to decide what your keywords and phrases might be, find out what search terms a customer would be most likely to type in the search box. There are tools out there that help you pick your keywords. Wordtracker™ is one of the most widely used keyword search tools. I use the keyword search tool that comes with my Site Build It!™ web site by clicking on the link in the 'about the author' section of this article to find out more. Once you have picked and researched your keywords, your goal should be to include them in your website design and content.

Optimization as the basis for Design

Incorporate optimization from the very beginning when you build your web site. This will make search engine optimization more effective as compared to squeezing in optimization after you've built a site. If the website design and content is straight forward HTML and does not have frame, flash, hidden links in animation or dropdown menus it will be more search engine friendly. If your website is search engine friendly it will be easily indexed by the search engine spider.

Web Site Content

The search engines can only identify and interpret text in the web site. Graphs, pictures and designs are not identified by the search engine spider; therefore, include a lot of text in your web site design and content. This will not only help search engine optimization, but people will also appreciate and link to your web site if it has plenty of information and depth.

Optimize Coding

Search engine optimization goes into the coding of your web site which is beyond the web site design and content. When you build a web site you can describe the pictures and make the heading tags very HTML specific which will make your code more visible to search engines and optimize your web site. This sort of web site popularity is termed 'behind the scene optimization.'

Popularity of Links

Another important aspect of search engine optimization is the number of other sites which have links to your web site. Search engines keep track of your web site links with other sites while ranking your web site. As a result, you should go into deals to share links with quality web sites and other people with similar content.
