 In your browser,
click View->Source


                                      http://photographyblogsites.com
HTML Basics

• HyperText Markup Language
• Structured elements called tags
• Tags have content
• Tags have attributes
                                http://photographyblogsites.com
Tags

• Start and end in brackets
 • <a></a>
 • <p></p>
• Some are self contained
 • <br/>

                              http://photographyblogsites.com
Content


• Between brackets - the content
 • <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
 • <a>This is a link</a>


                               http://photographyblogsites.com
Attributes

• Attributes describe the tag
• Are placed inside opening bracket
  • <p id=”attribute”>text</p>
  • <a href=”http://site.com”>Link</a>

                               http://photographyblogsites.com
“Alt” Attributes


• <img src=”http://mysite.com/image.jpg” />
• <img src=”http://mysite.com/image.jpg”
  alt=”Some Text That Describes Picture”/>




                               http://photographyblogsites.com
Meta Tags
• Describe the entire page / site
• Tell search engines what the page is about.
• Three types of Meta Tags:
 • Title
 • Description
 • Keywords
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Title




        http://photographyblogsites.com
Description




          http://photographyblogsites.com
Keywords

• Was the first method of telling search
  engines about a page.
• Lead to ‘keyword stuffing’.
• Now ignored by Google.
• Need to find other ways to get those
  keywords into the site.


                                http://photographyblogsites.com
Using Your Keywords

• The content itself.
• Proper use of heading tags
 • <H1>Page Title</H1>
   • Ideally only one per page
 • <H2>Sub Heading</H2>
   • Can have more of these
• Alt Attributes for Images
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Your Site is For People

• Keep it readable
• Keep it informative
• Don’t cram as a many keywords as you can.

                               http://photographyblogsites.com
Incoming Traffic
• Sites with lots of traffic rank well
• Source doesn’t matter
• Famous / well-known person
• Ads
• Lots of Twitter followers / Facebook friends
• Search results
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Building Traffic Cheaply

• Rank better in search results
• Be active in social networks
• Leave comments on blogs / sites
• Write guest posts on more popular sites
• Always link to your site
                               http://photographyblogsites.com
Page Rank
• A number assigned to every page by
  Google from 1-10.
• Measure of the page’s authority and quality.
• Ranks all of the factors - on page content,
  incoming links, traffic, etc.
• Exponential -
 • 2 is 10 times better than 1
 • 3 is 10 times better than 2
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Why Page Rank is
      Important

• Links from high page rank sites are worth
  more.
• Sites with high page rank show up higher in
  search results.



                                http://photographyblogsites.com
You should (almost)
   forget Page Rank
• Only really useful in determining quality of
  incoming links.
• No real equation to figure it out.
• Look at the factors that make it up -
  traffic, quality of site, etc.
• Other than spammy links or paid links,
  basically all link are good. Just get them all.

                                   http://photographyblogsites.com
Make Links More
         Powerful
• Meaningful Anchor text
  •   <a href=”http://site.com”>Anchor Text</a>
• Meaningful Title Attributes
 • <a href=”” title=”More info about link”>
• Bad - Click Here
• Good - Visit my Photography Site
                                  http://photographyblogsites.com
Keep Search Engines on
      Your Site
• You can block search engines from
  following links.
• Useful when linking out, especially to large
    sites - a link to your Twitter or Facebook
    page.
•   By block the search engines, you keep them
    crawling your own site.

                                  http://photographyblogsites.com
External Nofollow

• Within the link, use the ‘rel’ attribute
• rel=”external nofollow”
• <a href=”http://twitter.com/”>Link</a>
• <a href=”http://twitter.com/” rel=”external
  nofollow”>Link</a>



                                http://photographyblogsites.com
Link Within Your Own
         Site

• Reference old posts
• Link to other similar content
• Use strong Anchor Text for those links

                                http://photographyblogsites.com
Optimizing Images


• Use ALT attributes on all images
• Give the images themselves meaningful
  names




                               http://photographyblogsites.com
Which one is a picture
      of a cat?

• <img src=”http://mysite.com/image001.jpg”
• <img src=”http://mysite.com/cat.jpg”
  alt=”This is my cat, Snowball” />




                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Flash
• Flash hides most content
• Might use a ‘mirror’ html site to be
  readable.
• Can be setup to display text to search
  engines.
• Hides image info though - Alt Attributes,
  image names, etc.

                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Better Flash

• separate pages - not one flash site
• text urls
• Think of flash as an image or movie
• It should be something embedded within
  the page. Not the whole site itself.


                                  http://photographyblogsites.com
WordPress
• More than just a blog
• Can be any type of site
• According to Google, it is THE best
  platform for SEO Article & Video
• Takes care of 80-90% of everything SEO.
• With a couple plugins, it does the rest.
                                http://photographyblogsites.com
WordPress Settings
• By default URLs looks like this ‘/?p=234’
• Should be words, using the post titles
• Change your permalinks
• Settings->Permalinks
• Select custom
• Use month/day structure
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
WordPress Plugins

• All In One SEO Pack
• Google XML Sitemaps
• SEO Friendly Images
• SEO Image Galleries
• Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
                                http://photographyblogsites.com
Which WordPress?
• Not WordPress.com
• Download from WordPress.org
• Install on your own hosting account.
• With Cpanel access, look for One-Click
  installs
 • ‘Fantastico’ or ‘Simple Scripts’
                                  http://photographyblogsites.com
Analyzing Your Site
• Google - site:domain.com
 • Results are all the pages Google has
    crawled on your site
• Google - links:domain.com
 • Results are pages that link to your site.
• http://www.prchecker.info/
 • Find out the page rank of any site.
                                 http://photographyblogsites.com
Monitor Your Site
• Google Webmaster tools
 • Also use this to submit your site to
    Google
• Google Analytics
 • Track visitors, keywords they found you
    with, etc.

  • 19. Description http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 20. Keywords • Was the first method of telling search engines about a page. • Lead to ‘keyword stuffing’. • Now ignored by Google. • Need to find other ways to get those keywords into the site. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 21. Using Your Keywords • The content itself. • Proper use of heading tags • <H1>Page Title</H1> • Ideally only one per page • <H2>Sub Heading</H2> • Can have more of these • Alt Attributes for Images http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 22. Your Site is For People • Keep it readable • Keep it informative • Don’t cram as a many keywords as you can. http://photographyblogsites.com

  • 26. Why Page Rank is Important • Links from high page rank sites are worth more. • Sites with high page rank show up higher in search results. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 27. You should (almost) forget Page Rank • Only really useful in determining quality of incoming links. • No real equation to figure it out. • Look at the factors that make it up - traffic, quality of site, etc. • Other than spammy links or paid links, basically all link are good. Just get them all. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 28. Make Links More Powerful • Meaningful Anchor text • <a href=”http://site.com”>Anchor Text</a> • Meaningful Title Attributes • <a href=”” title=”More info about link”> • Bad - Click Here • Good - Visit my Photography Site http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 29. Keep Search Engines on Your Site • You can block search engines from following links. • Useful when linking out, especially to large sites - a link to your Twitter or Facebook page. • By block the search engines, you keep them crawling your own site. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 30. External Nofollow • Within the link, use the ‘rel’ attribute • rel=”external nofollow” • <a href=”http://twitter.com/”>Link</a> • <a href=”http://twitter.com/” rel=”external nofollow”>Link</a> http://photographyblogsites.com

  • 34. Flash • Flash hides most content • Might use a ‘mirror’ html site to be readable. • Can be setup to display text to search engines. • Hides image info though - Alt Attributes, image names, etc. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 35. Better Flash • separate pages - not one flash site • text urls • Think of flash as an image or movie • It should be something embedded within the page. Not the whole site itself. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 36. WordPress • More than just a blog • Can be any type of site • According to Google, it is THE best platform for SEO Article & Video • Takes care of 80-90% of everything SEO. • With a couple plugins, it does the rest. http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 37. WordPress Settings • By default URLs looks like this ‘/?p=234’ • Should be words, using the post titles • Change your permalinks • Settings->Permalinks • Select custom • Use month/day structure http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 38. WordPress Plugins • All In One SEO Pack • Google XML Sitemaps • SEO Friendly Images • SEO Image Galleries • Yet Another Related Posts Plugin http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 39. Which WordPress? • Not WordPress.com • Download from WordPress.org • Install on your own hosting account. • With Cpanel access, look for One-Click installs • ‘Fantastico’ or ‘Simple Scripts’ http://photographyblogsites.com
  • 40. Analyzing Your Site • Google - site:domain.com • Results are all the pages Google has crawled on your site • Google - links:domain.com • Results are pages that link to your site. • http://www.prchecker.info/ • Find out the page rank of any site. http://photographyblogsites.com
