Search Engine Optimization - The In's and Out's

SEO - In very simple terms is referred to as a series of steps taken to optimize the website and make it user and search engine friendly, so as to show up the results when the user types the keyword terms for the same.

You own a business and have a website. The website may be new or established one, but you are not getting business as you should have. As SEO Freelance Specialist, we can promote and optimize your website for getting relevant traffic, unique visitors and the ultimate aim, i.e. improving business.

There might be many reasons for the website not ranking in Google (we consider Google Search Engine as the top priority, as it consists of nearly 70% of the domains and user searches; after that comes Yahoo sharing nearly 20% of the market, then MSN contributing nearly 7%, and all other search engine covers the rest share of online visibility),

Keywords - The keywords form the basis of everything, from getting traffic, to unique visitors, to generating leads, to
improving the ultimate performance of the business. As an SEO Freelancer, I can say, that keywords are the most important part of the business. Relevant and important keywords as per the business draws the user's attention as well as the crawlers(search engine spiders).

Content - The content form another most-important part of the website. As keywords draws attention and gives an idea what the website business is about, content plays the role for clearifying the idea generated by the keywords. The content has to be informative, so as to provide the visitors with the information they are looking for. Furthermore, the content should not be a replica or copy from other website. It should be unique.

Improper Meta Tags - The meta tags also depicts the picture of the website to the user and the search engine spider. The meta title which is shown on the menu bar of the web browser, has to be keyword rich along with that, it should go with the theme of the website. Whereas, the meta description and meta keywords, tells the spider to provide the search results for the terms used in the title , description & keywords to the user.

As Search Engine Optimization Expert, I should rather say everything go hand-in-hand.

RELEVANT KEYWORDS <---> RELEVANT META TAGS <---> RELEVANT CONTENT

It's a game of 3R's or I can say it's R-Cube Game.

There are some technical functionalities also which should be take into consideration, for Search Engine Optimization:

Html Code Errors,
Too Much Scripting Language,
Improper Navigation,
Internal Linking,
Sitemaps,
etc..

In order to promote the website, there is another most important technique, which is commonly called as LINK BUILDING.

The links pointing to a website form another website, not only promote the website, but if the link is from the good page rank website then as per Google, it's counted as a vote from that website to the linking website. In common terms, as SEO Expert, I can say it's something like recommendations as we do in day-to-day activities. The more the recommendations are, the more likely for a person to be know by many. Same is the case with websites.

There are many techniques for promotion of the website:

One is Link Building, as I already described above. It can be -
One Way,
Three Way, or
Reciprocal

Others include,

Directory Submission
Search Engine Submission
Article Syndication
Social Bookmarking
Press Release Syndication
Video Podcasts
