– HTML	tags	
– Links	–	quan3ty/quality		
•  Split	in	to	on	page	and	off	page	factors
Onsite	OpQmizaQon
•  On-site	factors	play	a	big	role	in	
determining	your	search	engine	rankings	
•  These	are	the	things	that	you	can	do	
yourself	or	that	you	can	task	your	web	
developer	to	do	on	your	behalf	
Onsite	OpQmizaQon
SEO	on	page	factors	
•  HTML	tags	
– Title	tags	–	put	in	your	keywords	
– h1/h2/h3		
•  Images	–	give	them	“alt”	names	that	are	
relevent	to	your	content	
•  Text	–	make	sure	it	contains	relevant	
keywords	
•  Internal	links	–	will	help	google	find	its	way	
around	your	site
Your	naviga3on	structure	and	accessibility	is	cri3cal	for	
search	engine	rankings	–	search	engines	need	to	be	
able	to	access	your	content	in	order	to	index	it	
KISS	principle	
Employ	the	2	click	rule	(3	click	rule	at	most)	
Use	textual	links	from	your	home	page	
Use	a	Sitemap	which	can	be	accessed	from	your	home	
page	
Employ	inline	/	contextual	links	
Onpage	NavigaQon
The	singularly		
most	important		
on-site	factor!	
The	TITLE	Tag
Almost	always	the	
heading	that	Google	
chooses	for	its	lis3ngs.		
Therefore	it	needs	to	be	
en3cing	or	contain	a	call-
to-ac3on	
	
If	you	do	one	thing	to	your	site,	then	this	should	be	it!
•  Include	your	chosen	keywords	within	the	TITLE	
tag	–	preferably	near	the	start	of	the	tag	
•  Try	to	keep	it	to	70	characters	
•  Must	be	relevant	to	the	page	content	
•  Very	important	-	each	page	should	have	a	
different	TITLE	tag	
The	TITLE	Tag
•  Search	engines	also	use	a	series	of	metadata	
tags	that	reside	in	the	header	of	the	page	to	
index	websites	
	
•  These	tags	can’t	be	seen	by	human	visitors	to	
your	website	–	but	they’re	s3ll	interrogated	by	
the	search	engines	
Metadata	Tags
•  A	textual	descrip3on	of	
what	the	page	is	about	
•  Shows	up	in	Google	
search	results	
The	DescripQon	Tag
•  Include	keywords	close	to	the	start	of	the	tag,	
but	don’t	repeat	more	than	3	3mes	
•  Try	to	keep	it	to	150	characters	
•  Must	be	relevant	to	the	page	content	
•  Each	page	should	have	a	different	
DESCRIPTION	tag	
The	DescripQon	Tag
•  No	longer	counts	
The	KEYWORD	Tag
•  Google	loves	original,	high	quality	textual	content	
•  Body	text	is	extremely	important	for	search	engine	
rankings	because	this	is	what	human	users	come	to	
see	
•  Keywords,	synonyms	and	varia3ons	of	the	primary	
keyword	combina3on	should	be	included	in	the	
body	text,	but	not	so	that	it	reads	‘ar3ficially’.		It	
should	read	naturally.	
	
Body	Text
•  URLs	that	contain	keywords	are	be?er	than	those	that	
don’t	
•  Quite	easy	to	do	if	your	website	is	sta3c,	a	li?le	more	
difficult	for	database-driven	sites	
•  Don’t	make	the	URLs	too	long	because	this	will	be	seen	
as	an	a?empt	to	manipulate	the	search	results	
•  Good	and	bad:	
•  www.mysite.com/health-insurance	
•  www.mysite.com/search.asp?
insuranceID=435&locID=32	
	
Keywords	in	URLs
•  Heading	tags	–	eg.	<h1>,	<h2>	-	within	the	
HTML	iden3fy	headings	within	the	page	copy	
and	break	up	the	text	
•  They	are	used	by	search	engines	to	determine	
page	content	
•  Use	keywords	in	these	tags,	but	don’t	overdo	it.	
	
Heading	Tags
•  The	‘anchor’	text	contained	within	hyperlinks	
provides	Google	with	an	understanding	of	what	the	
linked	content	is	about	
•  Every	hyperlink	on	your	site	should	have	descrip3ve	
anchor	text,	rather	than	‘click	here…’	
•  Inline	links	or	contextual	links	are	best	
•  eg.	
•  Blue	Train	Enterprises	offers	a	free	white	paper	
on	how	to	op3mise	your	website	for	the	search	
engines	
Link	Anchor	Text
A.  Naked	URLs:	such	as	www.xyz.com	
B.  Generic/junk	anchors:	“click	here”,	“this	website”		
C.  Brand	keywords:	PageTraffic,	pagetraffic	India,	page	traffic	
or	pagetraffic	SEO	company		
Link	Anchor	Text	DiversificaQon
•  ALT	is	displayed	if	the	image	doesn’t	load	in	the	
user’s	browser	
•  The	ALT	tag	should	describe	the	image	
•  Keep	it	short	and	to	the	point	
•  It	also	can	have	a	posi3ve	effect		
on	your	website	rankings	
•  Don’t	use	ALT	tags	as	a	place	to	
	stuff	keywords	
Image	ALT	Text
SEO	off	page	
•  Links	and	lots	of	them	
– Make	sure	they	are	good	quality	and	relevant	
•  Ways	of	ge]ng	links	
– Use	forums	
– Directories	
– Blogs	
– Social	media	
– Loads	of	other	methods	
•  Should	ideally	be	from	related	sites	–	seen	as	a

What	is	Social	Media	MarkeQng?
Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining traffic or
attention through social media sites.
Social media itself is a catch-all term for sites that may
provide radically different social actions. For instance, Twitter
is a social site designed to let people share short messages or
“updates” with others. Facebook, in contrast is a full-blown
social networking site that allows for sharing updates, photos,
joining events and a variety of other activities.
