8. How Do Search Engine Works
There are three basic stages for a search engine: crawling – where content is discovered; indexing, where it is
analysed and stored in huge databases; and retrieval, where a user query fetches a list of relevant pages.
• Spider ‘Crawls’ the web to find new documents (web pages, other documents) typically by following
hyperlinks from website already in their database.
• Search engine indexes the content (text, code) in these documents by adding it to their databases and
then periodically updates this content.
• Search engine search their own database when a user enter in a search to find related documents ( not
searching web pages in real time)
• Search engines rank the resulting documents using an algorithm (mathematical formula) by assigning
various weights and ranking factors.

9. What is Google PageRank?

results. Google PageRank (PR) is a measure from 0 - 10.

• Yahoo - https://search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html
• Bing - http://www.bing.com/toolbox/submit-site-url

14. Fresh, Quality Content that is updated frequently
 Search engines crawl sites and use a complex algorithm to determine things like quality/relevancy of
content to keywords, other site copy, anchor text, etc.
 Google’s latest search engine algorithms focuses more and more on content, which means there is less
focus on keyword saturation and more focus on whether or not the content is actually relevant to the
keywords. You should continue to generate high-quality content that uses appropriate, relevant
keywords and synonyms for those keywords, but focus more on the content than the words themselves.

15. Metadata
 Metadata includes things like titles, display names, keywords, summaries, etc.
 System administrators and developers are able to create custom metadata fields to meet the specific
needs of the organization.
 Optimal format to define the page title
Primary Keyword – Secondary Keyword | Brand Name
Title (No more than 55 characters including space)
URL (Use hyphen instead of underscore in the URL)
Meta Description
(No more than 160 characters including space)
Title & Description should be meaningful and unique for all pages. Use the primary keyword at
least once, preferably at start of the title and in the first half of the description.
http://www.brainminetech.com/

16. Heading Tag <H1>…<H6>
 H1 tags are pretty important as they are meant to be the header
of what the entire pages is about.
 Every page should have only one H1 tag and including a keyword
in your H1 is great for usability, which can increase conversions.
 H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6 can be multiple and useful for defining
page sub-headings
 Heading Tags Provide Structure to the website and Pages Without
Structure are Harder for the Robots to Read
http://www.brainminetech.com/

17. Naming Conventions
 Page and folder names should clearly identify the content discussed in those pages and site sections.
 System names (which make up the content URL) should also correlate to page content and should be
separated by a hyphen.
i.e. - if you have a page for transfer student admissions:
System Name- transfer-student-admissions
URL - http://universityabc.edu/admissions/transfer-student-admissions.html
http://www.brainminetech.com/

18. Image Optimization
 Optimize the image file name with one primary keyword (e.g. my main blog image file name "on-page-
seo-best-practices-2016.png“)
 Specify a width and height for all images
 Use alt attribute to describe the image
 Depending on the image usage on the page, add a title above or below the photo. Surrounding text, such
as a caption, can also be helpful
http://www.brainminetech.com/

19. Keyword Factors
 Keyword in Title 1-2 times
 Keyword usage in the content
 Keyword in the URL
 Keyword in heading H1-H6
 Keywords in headlines
 Keywords in alt attribute of images and name of image
 Keywords in Anchor texts and internal linking
 Page Title and Meta Description

20. Site Architecture
 Setting up your site architecture in a logical, hierarchical format, allows for link concentration and
importance to be properly spread around your site.
 Furthermore, a hierarchical folder structure concentrates more links back to your homepage, which
typically results in a higher PageRank for your homepage.

21. Internal Linking
Importance of Internal Links for SEO
 The anchor text of links helps Google to understand the context of a webpage and to rank better
 Internal links help Google Bots crawl and access different parts of your site
 Internal links also improve user experience
How we can improve internal link structure
 No Page Should be More than 3 Clicks Away from your Homepage
 Use Relevant Anchor Text for Internal Linking
 Use your Homepage to Link to your Most Important Pages
 Add Breadcrumb Navigation to your Site
 Add Navigational Links to your Footer and Sidebar
 Use the Related Posts or Popular Posts Plugin to Improve User Engagement (Social Plugin)

22. Web Design and SEO
 Content and Navigation elements are easily consumed/understood by users
 Design is aesthetically polished, high quality, and fit authentically with the brand
 Page layout makes scanning easy and important content elements place above the fold
 Page renders fast ( less than 0.5 seconds to first response; less than 4 seconds to primary content
loaded)
 A minimal number of browser requests are required to fully load the page. (HTTP requests)
 Page is browser and devices supportive ( Desktop, mobile and tab friendly)
 Webpage Text ration should be more than 15%, minimum use of graphics/flash than text
 Images optimized for file size/load time
 W3C Compliance
 “Shallow” directory structure
 Avoid navigation generated by client-side script. CSS + static list elements > JavaScript

23. Sitemap and Robots.txt
 A sitemap is a list of pages of a web site that are accessible to search engine spiders or visitors. Typically,
sitemaps are organized in a hierarchy.
 There are two popular ways to create a sitemap. XML sitemaps are structured for search engines, and
indicate to search engines the relative importance of your pages to each other. HTML sitemaps are
tailored more for human visitors looking to easily navigate through your website.
 A robots.txt file is a text file in a simple format which gives information to web robots (such as search
engine spiders) about which parts of your website they are and aren't allowed to visit.
 Adding XML sitemap link in robotx.txt page allows search engine to crawl site more intelligently.

24. Essential Link-Building Activities
In order to increase your visibility in search engines and receive more organic traffic via inbound links, you
should carry out the activities in the checklist below.
 Blog, Article, PR, Business Directory submissions
 Competitor research – Gather a list of your competitors’ top links. You can use a service such as
alexa.com to search your competitors and find out the main sites that are linking in to each of your
competitors.
 Prospecting – Use Google to find new link opportunities for you and make contact to get premium
backlinks
 Post acquisition follow-up – Keep track of all link deals and contact the various partners to ensure that
they follow-through with providing backlinks to you.
 Interlinking – Make the most of the pages and posts on your website and link internally to other areas of
your website. Internal linking is very important as you maintain total control.
 Promote your content socially – You can’t get links if nobody ever sees your content. Share your content
for maximum exposure via social media.

25.  Build relationships – This is the very best way to get backlinks. If your content is strong these are easy
guaranteed links. Be active in forums and on social media to become prevalent and well-known in the
industry.
 Social media link building – Sometimes people treat social media and SEO as two separate things but
Google looks at social indicators more and more these days and you can see a huge benefit from social
SEO.
 Paid strategies – Google Adword and Facebook Ads

26. What Not to do
 Keyword Stuffing
 Don’t hide text or links by making it match the background color or using hidden text.
 Don’t copy and merge the content from different website. Google spider penalize the website as
duplicate content
 Don’t name pages with system names like “page-1”
 Don’t link only to your homepage from internal pages. Links to the homepage are extremely important,
but won’t help SEO when used on their own.
 Use shell or empty pages that house no useful content
