Why SEO is important for your online success?

Search Engine Optimization is the most cost effective technique to generate qualified and targeted traffic to your web site. SEO is the most commonly used online marketing channel to promote products and services online. Search Engine Optimization and Pay per click advertisement are two most commonly used online marketing channels now-a-days. If we compare both, we can see a big difference between them. Pay per click advertisement is very expensive as you have to pay every time a visitor clicks on your sponsored ad to visit your web site.

The first step in setting up your online business is to have your own corporate web site or online store. Once your web site or online store is live, the next step and the most important step which plays a vital role in your online success is to bring online traffic or visitors to your web site.

A webmaster or eBusiness owner should know how to bring visitors or potential clients to his web site. There are many techniques for online promotions are available for webmasters to choose from including Search Engine Optimization (SEO), pay per click advertisement and eMail Marketing.

Following factors should be considered while selecting the right online marketing channel/ channels for online promotion:

1- It should be cost effective and should be within your online marketing budget
2- It should be able to produce long term results.
3- It should be able to generate qualified traffic

Search Engine Optimization and Pay per click advertisement are two most commonly used online marketing channels now-a-days. If we compare both, we can see a big difference between them. Search Engine Optimization is a cost effective way to produce targeted traffic as you don’t have to pay for every click your site receives where as pay per click advertisement is very expensive as you have to pay every time a visitor clicks on your sponsored ad to visit your web site. Pay per click advertisement is good for instant traffic generation and ideal for those who need quick results. On the other hand, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) takes time to bring visitors to your web site as the success of any SEO campaign depends on many factors including proper optimization both on page and off page optimization of your web site in accordance with Search Engine algorithm. In some cases rather in almost all cases the results are not guaranteed. But the advantage of Search Engine Optimization is that once your web site is up on SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages) of all major search engines including Google, Yahoo and MSN for your business keywords, your web site start getting absolutely FREE traffic and with little maintenance and updating you can continue to receive this free traffic for as long as you require this traffic.

How to get your web site indexed by Major Search Engines?

Search Engine Optimization is getting more and more difficult day by day. Major Search Engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN take very long to index all pages of a web site in most cases.

The first step after selection of the right keywords is to optimize the whole web site for the selected keywords. Once the web site is optimized and made live, the most important phase in SEO is to get all pages of the web site indexed by major search engines. This is the most important phase in SEO process.

A Search Engine Optimizer should know how to get your web site indexed quickly. Different SEO experts use different techniques in order to have their web sites indexed. As a SEO expert, I use few simple techniques to invite search engine bot to my web sites.

Here is the step by step procedure which you can follow to get through the indexing process easily and successfully.

Web Site Design:

Very few web designers know the importance of search engine friendly web design. Most of the web designers don’t know how to design a web site to conform major search engines’ algorithms and what SEO elements should be taken into consideration to make a web site design search engine friendly. I will discuss this topic in detail in my next article. Here I would like to mention that your web site design should be search engine friendly so that search engine bot can easily go through all pages of your web site.

Web Site navigation:

Web site navigation scheme plays a vital role in web site indexing. Your web site navigation scheme should be designed in such a way that visitors and search engines’ spiders can easily go through all the pages easily and without any difficulty.

Java and other scripts:

Many websites use Javascript to build multiple-level navigation menu, improve look and feel or functionality. However, the Javascript code usually left in the HTML code of the web page, it makes the HTML coding a bit heavy and provide hindrance for search engine bot. to crawl down the page. This is no good in terms of SEO. It is recommended that a separate Javascrpt file be used to call all javascripts from.

Create HTML Site Map:

Create an html site map to include links to all web site pages. This can help in guiding search engine bot to all web site pages. It is recommended that the link of html site map be placed on top right corner of the home page of the web site.

Google verification:

Get your site verified by Google. In order to get your site Google verified. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Create a Google Account
  2. Add Webmaster Tools to your account
  3. Get your web site verified
  4. Create a Google Sitemap
  5. Submit it to Google.

I will discuss the procedure in detail in a separate article.


Yahoo Verification:

Add your web site to Yahoo site explorer using your existing Yahoo account or create one. Get your site verified. You can create site feed in atom or RSS format to submit to Yahoo site explorer.

Posting your Site link:

One of the most important factors which helps site indexing is your web site link on web sites or web pages which are already indexed by major search engines. If you are able to post your link on some PR 4 or 5 web pages, your web site will defiantly get indexed very quickly.
If you follow the techniques I mentioned above, it is most likely that your web site gets indexed quickly and you can start your journey towards top ranking in major search engines, the dream of all webmasters.

Automate your link building process for successful SEO

What makes modern SEO different from old days SEO is off-page optimization. Ever since Google came into play, it made the life difficult for SEOs. SEO without Google is like body without soul. SEO companies are forced to focus Google for all their SEO projects as about 50% of the total traffic generated by all search is solely generated by Google.

SEO clients are more demanding now. They make sure that Google is the main focus for their SEO campaign before assigning SEO task to SEO companies or freelance SEOs. This situation has forced freelance SEOs and SEO companies to understand the algorithm of Google so that they can design SEO campaigns accordingly.

There is no doubt that Google likes quality inbound links. If you are able to have your web site back links posted on other web sites with high Google Page Rank, quality and relevant contents, you can get your web site on top of Google SERPS (Search Engine Result Pages). The more quality inbound links your web site has, the more likely your web site gets the top position on Google SERPS.

SEOs implement different techniques to increase the popularity of a web site and get more quality inbound links. Some of the standard techniques SEOs use to get quality inbound links are:

  1. Submission on top quality and high traffic free directories in the most relevant category (s)
  2. Submission on top quality and high traffic reciprocal directories in the most relevant category (s)
  3. Submission on top quality and high traffic paid directories in the most relevant category (s)
  4. Getting the web site registered with some top quality link exchange programs. Some quality link exchange programs which I use are:

You must select only the web sites related to your web site contents for link exchange.

5. Search for the relevant web sites, sending them request for link exchange and wait for their response.

I use all of the above mentioned techniques to get quality inbound links for my SEO projects. Another very important link building technique which I exclusively use to automate my link building process; I create a “link to us” page. This page contains information about how to exchange link with the site and the link’s html code. The page also contains an online link exchange request form. Anybody visiting this page can send link exchange request via online form to me. I optimize this page for key phrases like; link exchange with “mykeyword1”, “link exchange with “mykeyword2” and so on. Once this page is on SERPS, I start getting link exchange requests automatically. The advantage is that;

  1. Site owners and webmasters post my site’s link first before making link exchange request.
  2. I select only the relevant web site for link exchange and put their link on my web site.
  3. In this way I don’t have to do anything and I get link exchange request through this automated process.
