If you own a website, you are probably looking for ways to draw people to it so that you can share your content with them. However, this can be difficult because Google looks at over 200 items when it is determining how to rank websites. This can make it nearly impossible to find the right combination of things that will improve your rankings over those of your competitors.

However, there is a simple path that you can follow to help improve your chances of having the perfect page that Google will pick up in a heartbeat. Below, you will find the items that you need to include on your page as well as how to set it up so that you will receive Google’s approval and that of the other search engines as well.

The first step is to use URL extensions that are SEO-Friendly. Avoid using extensions that are extremely long and confusing.

You should also focus on your title. There is a certain pattern that works best when you are looking to SEO optimise your page:

• Should be under 55 characters
• Use a target keyword
• Wrap it in an H1 tag

Next, remember that images, pictures, videos, gifs, etc. are your friends. Use them well and use them wisely.

You should also make sure that you link to sites that are an authority in the niche that you are looking to reach and make sure to put your keyword in the first 100 words of your text. When it comes to keywords, you should use a variety of related keywords as well. Never stick with only one.

For those who have original images, it is vital that you optimize both the file names and the ALT tags so that they include keywords. This has been shown to increase traffic to websites by a substantial amount.

Loading speed is also an important factor when it comes to bringing more people to your website. The faster that your website loads, the better experience your visitors will have. This also means that they will be more likely to return in the future as well. Google PageSpeed is a simple tool that you can easily sign up for that will speed up your page load time.

In this day and age, you should also never forget about social media. Make sure that your website is designed so that it can easily be shared with others. This will make it more popular and will naturally bring more people to your site.

Word count for your site is also an important factor. It is estimated that the majority of websites that find themselves on the first page of Google search have over 2000 words of content on their pages. While this is the most common, keep in mind that the actual word count that is best for your site may vary depending on the industry that you are a part of.

Finally, make sure that you adapt your site so that it will work well on mobile devices as well. Many people are beginning to use smartphones and tablets to view their favorite pages and this is very important to the success of your website.

These tips all provide you with a way to fully optimize your website so that Google will move it up in the search rankings. If you are careful to make sure your website meets the requirements listed above, there should be no reason that you should not see your page move up in the search results.

Most of my new clients keep asking me, Why is Good SEO expensive? Are you guys need to buy expensive SEO software, Can you do a cheap SEO package for me?. Here we go, these are the reasons, why search engine optimisation is expensive. It takes TIME.  So much time. simply TIME = MONEY.
COMPETITION

• Search is a zero sum game. If you rank better, someone else ranks worse.
• Competitors aggressively reinvest profits, if you invest less than they do, you need a better strategy to catch up.
• Even if you invest the same amount as the current leader, you still need a better strategy to catch up with their lead.

LANDSCAPE

• Each keyword is unique. Some keywords are localized, others have e – commerce ads, and others have bigger AdWords adas.
• The potential return of organic search depends on the layout of the result page.
• Some variables are hard to influence without money. On a keyword like “car insurance” some of the largest advertisers might spend nearly $1 billion a year on marketing. That drives brand – related searches & improves user engagement, which Google counts as a signal of quality.

REACTIVE VS PROACTIVE

• Great SEO plans for the future. Google has done many large updates that millions of websites
• If you ride too close to the limits, then you are more likely to eventually get hit.
• Ex-post-facto issues. Things that might be considered fine today might not be considered fine many years down the road. Clean up costs can be substantial. In many case the cost of cleaning up a penalty is far greater than the cost of starting over building from scratch.

SCALING SERVICES

• Stretching small budgets requires short cuts. Those short cuts often mean riding close to the limits, which can work great in the short – term but at great risk in the long-term.
• Factory lines lead to trouble. The more an SEO process is scaled the more it is likely to be factory line styled. And that makes it more likely to have footprints.
• If & when any particular site gets hit, many such sites will get hit at the same time.

TRACKING PERFORMANCE

• Google holds back performance data.
• For a decade search engines provided keywords in their referrers. Over the past couple years Google has held back more and more organic search data.
• Google provides that same data to advertisers. If you can afford AdWords, you get much better performance data.
• Performance can be lumpy. Due to opaque algorithms & large algorithmic updates, it can be hard to predict the precise impact of any specific change, especially far out into the future, when the algorithms will be significantly different.

Pros and Cons of Social Signals

Pros

• Fastest way to get your Google page rank and Higher search traffic.
• No need to spend big money, as long as you produce good content.

Cons

• It is a temporary solution, You will loose your ranking as soon as your website stop getting social signals. Therefore you have to keep pumping Social Signals to your site.

Tip! Be careful, always use the correct way of sharing your content on Social networks. There are so many ways you can generate traffic from social networks. Using Facebook Ads can be a more effective and white hat method to get signals from social sites. There are some other ways too, But I’m not going to mention them here. As sooner or later Google will track Signals coming from Bots and penalised websites soon.

As the Google programmers continue to become more and more leery to the clever keyword usage that give SEO experts an edge on those rankings, it becomes more difficult to trick the system. Many common techniques that seem legitimate might actually be hurting your website’s exposure. Here are a few SEO tips to help you to get yourself back at the top of those search engine rankings.

Overuse of Guest Bloggers

Nothing will fuck up your rankings faster than putting all of your eggs into the guest bloggers basket. When SEO consultants began advising that keywords should be used here as often as possible, many websites began to spam their blogs with phony posts stuffed with keywords. Needless to say, when Google caught on, it began to highly scrutinise guest blogs in their algorithm.

Content is your most important tool

While links may be of great benefit to acquiring hits for your site, it is important to remember that your content is what the Google algorithm weighs most heavily in its rankings. Many studies have shown that link backing is, in the long term, mathematically inefficient at generating a high DA score.

Keyword stuffing

This one should be obvious. It seems that many beginner web page designers are still making the oldest mistake in the SEO book. The best way to use keywords in your content is to distribute them evenly and make sure that they are relevant to the content that is surrounding them. For example, you wouldn’t want to repeatedly use the phrase “deep sea diving” on a page that is about how to cook a steak.

Links Are Complex

When it comes to links and how Google uses them to determine your websites relevance with respect to other websites, the thing to keep in mind is that the quality is always more important than quantity. Consider the traffic source of the links that connect to your site and how the SEO quality of those sites fares with respect to yours. If you find that you have dead links or links from sites with little traffic, they may be hurting you more than they are helping.

Don’t Use Optimised Anchors

Hold on a minute, what are optimised anchors? The idea behind optimised anchors is that you can post a link to another one of your pages that utilises its own set of keywords that are then shared with your host page. Google does not incorporate anchored text into its algorithm.
