Simple SEO tips
SEO - or search engine optimisation - is a form of internet marketing that's used to increase the number of hits to a website. The main aim of SEO is to get your website to appear higher up in the search results which should results in more clicks and visitors to your site.
So what are the best SEO tips to implement into your website?
We've put together this guide of simple SEO tips that you can use to improve your websites chance of appearing higher up in search engines.
Keyword Density
Keyword density is a measure of how many times a particular keyword appears on a webpage, shown as a percentage.
For example: let's say your keyword is "Accountants" and your web page has 400 words on it and the word "Accountants" appears 6 times. The keyword density for that web page would be 1.5%.
It's important to understand keyword density and to be aware of it when optimising your page for certain keywords. For your main keyword try to keep the density around 2% in the body text and ensure it appears regularly in the page title, keywords, description, bold elements, link anchors and image alt tags.
Compliant HTML
Without meaning to get too technical here you need to have good, clean HTML. As I'm sure you're aware; HTML is the mark-up language that makes up web pages. As with any language, it needs to be written to the correct standard.
A web page that has poorly written HTML is like going to Germany and speaking very poor quality German. Chances are you'll probably be able to get around but you'll be limited and won't be able to have a fluent conversation.
The same goes with websites. Keep the HTML language fluent and of high quality and the search engines will understand what you're saying. If the search engines understand your website, they'll rank it higher!
Inbound Links
It's important to have other websites linking to yours. But, these links need to be relevant to your website and of high quality. Link exchanges are a waste of time since they cancel each other out.
There are loads of really simple ways to increase the number of one-way inbound links to your website:
- Article directories - Write an article and include a link to your website at the bottom
- Social Bookmarking - Add a link to your website to Social Bookmarking sites
- Forums - Actively participate in forums and include a link to your website in your signature
