  7. Seo is a constantly evolving field, if not adapting to the changes are falling behind Google search algorithm changes – panda, authorship, freshness Mobile is changing everything Very competitive now, no longer acceptable to rely on branded keyword rankings onlyEnterprise SEO is written by search marketers responsible for managing SEO for large scale websites or managing a number of enterprise-level or multiple brand sites under one corporate umbrella. Topics range from handling technical challenges to working with multiple key stakeholders and getting everyone to play nice together.
  8. Discuss relative importance of on and off page seoQ: how many people have a budget line in their current budget into SEOQ: Does your investment in SEO to date reflect this 80:20 reality?This is why you must invest in off page today.http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/search-engine-optimization-myths/on-page-off-page-seo/In our experience (on one hand) we have been able to get websites ranked using 60% on page SEO and 40% off page, while (on the other hand) we have been able to use links alone to push a page to the top without ever touching any on page metrics.The factors which determine what percentage or just how much time and energy you can commit to either the on page or off page metrics is controlled by the age and authority of your website, the quality of links, the supporting content and how many links (and the type, volume, frequency and quality of links) you are able to concentrate on each keyword.The takeaway is, you need both – the breakout depends greatly on multiple granular variables, but as a rule of thumb, the stronger the on page SEO, the easier it is for a website to (1) gain authority and (2) serve as a beacon or hub page to rank other pages without the need for off page optimization.
  9. http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/2012-on-page-seo.html6. User Led CopyMake sure that you know who your visitors are and what it is they need and want. Most websites attract more than one kind of user so make sure that you are speaking to all your potentials. Your website is some of the most valuable marketing collateral that you own so make sure that you give it the attention that deserves – it has the ability to speak to more than one type of visitor or consumer so invest the time and effort to do so.Ask yourself: Do I know who my target audience are and what they like? If not you may need to do some more research.Se8. Going The Extra MileThe search engines have to serve results that are relevant and useful to their users otherwise they could lose them. Are you going the extra mile to please, excite and delight your visitors? Does your web page deserve to rank for competitive keywords? Will it be useful to those that click on it or is it just to attract traffic? Going the extra mile sets you apart from the competition. Can you look at your pages and can honestly say that they are some of the best out their in your niche? If so you are your way to doing well in the search results…now you just have to tie that in with all you other marketing efforts.Ask yourself: Have I presented the page in a diverse way? Will these pages talk to a number of people? Would users benefit from graphs, more photos, data – what do they need?Read more: http://www.searchenginepeople.com/blog/2012-on-page-seo.html#ixzz2WrC3ja8fWordpress or OmniupdateOn-page SEO is critical to SERP rankings Must be done to rank wellAll basic elements are required What is often forgotten by people but picked up by Google:3 of the most important: Keywords: do you know what are the keywords for which your school is ranking?Meta descriptionsImage Title Tags OptimizationStructure and navigation: ex: Champlain storyDifferent domains for one same school: problem of cross domain tracking: impossible to know where the traffic was coming fromDifferent domains once they had changed their website address
