2. On-page search engine optimization is definitely one of
the key methods if a website owner would like to
improve the results for his or her website's searchability.
However, on-page SEO often entails technical skills.
Why? Not a lot of people are HTML enthusiasts. This is
often what needs to be tweaked to do an excellent job
in optimizing web pages.
3. What if a geek friend already did the on-page
optimization and now you want to know how you can
contribute to the "search engine goodness" of your
website? Off-page optimization is the next step. And the
results you will have to pine for are one-way backlinks.
Why? This is how many of the major search engines such
Google, Yahoo! and MSN rank websites. The more
backlinks from relevant sites with good page rank, the
merrier.
4. So how exactly do you gather backlinks? It's not an easy
task but it's definitely less nerve-wracking than HTML if
you are not the techie type. Here are some off-page SEO
tips:
6. Quality content has been discovered to be real king.
Everyone is hungry for fresh and quality info and
providing it will make backlinks go pouring in. It helps a
lot to be a keen writer to be successful on this endeavor.
Also, practise the proper way of using a resource box. It
should only include a website that contains information
relevant to the article you submit to article directories.
8. Look for forums that are relevant to your website's
content and keep on sharing information that will be
indispensable for the members of the forums. Your
signature or that tag-along message at the last part of
each of your posts is what will work for your off-page
SEO campaign. Keep it simple and make sure that it
conveys something about your website. Learn how to
hyperlink to make it easy for the people who want to
visit your site.
10. Blogs or web logs are now the most popular weapons of
SEO experts. Aside from being easy-to-update, they
don't require a too formal tone, which is what many
readers are into. Informal dialog which can be
accomplished through readers leaving comments and
the blog author replying to the comments is what also
keeps blogs fresh and search engine friendly.
Maintaining a blog that's again relevant to your
website's content will keep the search engines in touch
with your site. Don't forget to have a link on your main
website from your blog.
11. The secret to be successful in carrying out these off-page
SEO methods is to be consistent. Submitting quality
articles to websites at least two to three times a week
and regularly producing content for your personalized
blog is a surefire way to make your website stand out.
Forum participation should also be something done
more frequently since it will not only help you up your
website's popularity with the search engines but also
make you learn new stuff from other forum members'
participation. Also, if you discover that you don't enjoy
these stuff, there's always a plan B - hire someone to do
them for you!
