Practicing Quality Search Engine Optimization Techniques

Do Search Engine Optimization Techniques Work Today?
Over the years since the rise of search engine’s like Google and Bing there have been a lot of
people making money through the use of search engine optimization techniques. Each of these
tactics, either white hat or black hat, have all had the same purpose. To rank your site higher in
the search engines and get free targeted traffic.

However in the last year Google has begun a more targeted approach at finding those people
who have become masters at ranking sites. By implementing such targeted updates like
Penguin and Panda they have all but killed SEO as we know it. This isn’t to say search engine
optimization is dead, but that its changed significantly.

Because of this the days of creating websites using search engine techniques that are
considered over the top is over. Webmaster’s and seo’s need to take into account the user
more than ever because that is what Google is doing. Remember Google’s end goal is to end
search. They want to provide the most relevant content the first time in order to increase the
values of their service. So when you are writing content you need to be able to do just that.

Search Engine Optimization Techniques For Quality




                                                                                             1/3
Sometime SEO is like playing roulette


The first thing that you need to do is ensure that your are running your content through an
editing process. This could be nothing more than making sure your spell checker is turned on in
your word processor. I personally use the one that is built into my operating system, so it checks
my content as I am writing it.

If my personal computer has the feature, its hard to imagine that Google does not. As such
grammar and spelling could be considered when deciding how to rank your web page. Doing
so will also ensure that your bounce rate is really low. Bounce rate is simply the amount of time
that a reader spends on your site after finding your content. Its important that this is low
because it shows that your site is providing valuable content that people enjoy reading. If you
have a high bounce rate, Google knows that your content is not fulfilling its side of the deal and
will stop ranking your site for that particular keyword.

The next thing that you need to check on is your about page. This has become ever
increasingly important since Google has implemented knowledge graph information into their
algorithm. In short, its looks at all your content around the web and determines your expertise in
the subject. The more content you have on a subject all over the web, the more of an authority
you are. This all starts at your about page, so don’t ignore it.




                                                                                            2/3
Don’t over optimize each article of content on your site. Under the old rules, search engine
                                   optimization techniques required that you have a keyword density of 3-5%. Today its more like
                                   1-2% and no more. This is because Google caught on to recommendations to saturate your
                                   content with your keyword. Now, simply putting your keywords at the beginning and end of your
                                   articles is more than enough.

                                   Sprinkle synonyms throughout your content. That way your content will rank for more than just
                                   your chosen keyword. Its is conceivable that your content can get ranked for several different
                                   keyword terms when using this method. This will increase the return on the time that you
                                   invested in writing your works. And overall the traffic that the search engines are sending to
                                   your content.

                                   The final tip I can suggest to you is to put content on your site. Under the old way of doing
                                   things having five pieces of content may have been enough to rank a whole site, no anymore.
                                   Today, your site needs to have diversity of content related to the subject. And you need to be
                                   posting to it regularly. This isn’t to say you need to post on it everyday however, once a week
                                   should be fine. Just remember, old search engine optimization techniques no longer work the
                                   way that they used to. But SEO is far from gone and if you ignore it, you stand the chance of
                                   missing out on a lot of valuable traffic.Who Is Clint Butler?

                                   Currently serving in the military and after 20 years I have found that you don’t get rich in the
                                   military nor can you get rich working for someone else. So with that being said I have worked,
                                   researched, and trained Online Marketing and making money on the internet using search
                                   engine optimization, social media marketing, and video marketing. All of this is to generate
                                   traffic and leads to my clients websites as well as my own.
