As you all know, SEO takes a lot of effort. So much effort, in fact, that people would actually pay companies to do SEO on their websites. It’s good practice however to know some SEO of your own, even if you let a company handle the tasks for you. To aid you with this, there are plenty of free SEO tools available on the Internet, that you can easily use for yourself. These tools are more or less the very same tools used by professionals, so it doesn’t hurt to know what they are and what they do.
First, there is the keyword research tool. You can find this at http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/keyword-research-tool.shtml. What this does is it helps you find the right words and phrases to use in the body text of your website to help promote your site. Using it is easy, just enter the words/phrases you wish to be searched under. The tool will also suggest other words and phrases that you can use.
Do you know that even your site can have a bad neighborhood? Do you know what bad neighborhood means? Well, this article will tell you bloggers about bad neighborhoods. And the things that you have to know if you encounter this kind of neighborhood.
First of, we need to define what bad neighborhood is. Bad Neighborhood are those site that links to your site that are penalized or banned by Google. The site that I am talking about are those sites that uses unethical techniques like keyword stuffing, duplicate contents or those sites that lack of any original or unique content, sites that has hidden text links, doorway pages, machine generated pages and many more.
‘Anchor text‘ is the text in a link. Through anchor text, surfers may know beforehand what your site is about before even clicking them. It is also very important in SEO, as search engine spiders do the same thing. As such, it is important to know how to use anchor text efficiently, in order to increase your rankings, traffic, and profit.
One of the mistakes that you can commit is using your website name or URL as the anchor text. This can work if the URL has your keywords, but otherwise, it is a waste.
Many SEOs will tell you that a site map is important. You may be asking yourself, “Why? People never use sitemaps to navigate, and the spiders will naturally crawl all of my site anyway”. That is true, over time all your pages will be indexed. And people don’t want to read through a list of links to find a page they want (they’d rather use a search box). But what matters is WHEN your will be indexed. If your pages get indexed faster, they get more exposure sooner and the sooner you start making money. And this is exactly where site maps help.
Creating a sitemap is simple. First, make a plain, normal page, except you put “site map” as the meta tag. Then, add links to each main page of your site. Under each main page link, add links to subpages, then under the subpages, add the pages under it. Continue in this fashion until you have something that look like this:
What are keywords? How does keywords help sites to rank in SERP?
Keywords are playing important role in SEO. The majority of traffic to a website is brought by different search engines.
Many blogger don’t know how to use keywords, they don’t even know that repeating keywords several times can penalize their site. Repeating a keyword several times is called Keyword Stuffing. They just know that if they’ll put keywords on their site, their site will be crawled by SEs. That is one of the biggest mistake a blogger can do. Here is an example of repeated keywords: bags, black bags, red bags, and blue bags. On this example two things are wrong. One is the word ‘and’. On putting keywords on your site you don’t need to add the word and, then, this, that and there. Those words are called stop word. Stop words meaning words that are ignored by the Search Engines. The other problem with the given keywords are the words ‘bags’. As you can see, the word bags are used four (4) times. You don’t need to do that, the correct way of putting keywords with bags are: bags, black, red, blue. On that way, search engine will know that your site are offering bags in different colors. Doing keyword stuffing can penalize your site.
