Editor's Notes
You are the needle in the haystack
Your website is your shop window, make sure it is not cluttered!Crawlability- If a crawler can’t access your content, the content won’t be indexed by search engines, nor will it be ranked. Make sure your website navigation is clean and strive for a simple, search-friendly URL structure. This means the URL is keyword rich. Avoid placing links and content inside rich media applications, such as Flash and Silverlight, which make it almost impossible for crawlers to find and read the contentSite Structure: Provide a site structure that with strong functionality which helps and encourages link building. Linking to both trusted outside sources and internal content shows you care about users getting the best data around their query.In addition, HTML sitemaps ensure a good user experience and help search engines discover all the content on your pages.On Page Factors and Site Production: Follow a few simple guidelines for the area inside the code of your webpage denoted by the <head> tag. Each <title> should be short, about 65 characters, and unique to the page. Include the keyword you’re targeting for that page near the beginning of the title. The <meta description> tag can be longer and should also contain the keyword or phrase you’re targeting. All content should be unique to every page and be based on keyword research.Link Building: When you build links, insert targeted keywords in the anchor text to boost relevancy for the targeted search term. This increases a link’s perceived value to both users and search engines.Encourage links to your page by integrating social network icons which allow visitors to easily share your page. More eyes on your page can increase the odds it will be linked from an outside source. The best way to get links, though, is to provide excellent, unique content. Build your audience and engage with them.
