Why SEO is Necessary


SEO-Search Engine Optimization is the new mantra of building money making successful online business.

Be it for serious business, or “just for fun” amateur, unless you follow SEO rules and tips, your site is likely to go unnoticed among the ever evolving competitive world of online startups.

The major part of online traffic comes through search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN and referrals from other sites. Search Engine Optimization helps you to rank high on search engines, thereby increasing visibility to your potential clients/readers. It is unfortunate that many websites and start ups which have high quality exclusive content, go unnoticed among the crowd because they haven’t optimized their sites to search engines.

Search Engine Optimization is not rocket science, anybody who has a flair to run a blog can make a good SEO. You only need to know some basic HTML and good knowledge of how the search engines work. I’m assuming that anyone who can set up a blog can even be a good SEO and implement the tips discussed here on his blog to his benefit.
Cheers!
Keep It UP!

Link building basics for SEO

It is now common knowledge, at least among online marketers and search engine optimization (SEO) specialists, that the success of a SEO campaign is dependent to a great extent on the success of link building efforts. Greater the number of links from high-quality, relevant websites, greater the chances of a website getting ranked higher in the search engine results pages (SERPs) for relevant keywords.

When undertaking a link building project, there are three criteria to be borne in mind:

* Quantity of links: More the number of links, the better it is
* Quality of links: Better the quality of pages and websites from which the links are obtained, greater the weightage of those links to the overall link popularity of a site
* Relevance of links: Greater the relevance of the sites from which the inbound links are obtained, better the results will be with the overall off-site SEO efforts.

Focus the link building campaign on the above three aspects to achieve optimum results.

How to embark on a SEO link building campaign

The key to building high organic search engine rankings is to ensure that the search engines view the site to be 'naturally' relevant to its target users. Therefore, all efforts in the various aspects of SEO, including boosting link popularity, should take into consideration the need to make them seem natural.

This is a tedious process which requires patience and perseverance; however, the benefits of getting good quality inbound links will certainly be worth the effort.

Building one-way links for a website is definitely with this one-to-one approach is much more challenging as it involves convincing the other party of the merits of linking to the site. Some common ways that can be used to build one ways links are directory submissions (both paid and free) as well as buying links on relevant websites. The latter approach (buying text links) is still under a cloud and there is a debate on their value to improving search engine rankings. Of course, as long as the links provided are related and relevant.

Alternatively, many SEO professionals opt for building reciprocal links, where in they swap links with another website. These links are deemed to be less valuable than a one-way link from a good quality website, but as long as the 'reciprocal' links are relevant (thematically), these may continue to offer some value in the SEO process.

Create SEO Friendly Blog

Blogs have become one of the most effective Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies. The number of blog sites spawning on a day-to-day basis is a clear indication of their relevance in the present Internet communication.

A blog can play an important role in optimizing the website. Earlier, blogs were considered as a means of expressing one’s opinion or exchange ideas, most often done in a causal way. But the recent changes that happened in the online communication have redefined the blogs as an effective tool of communication among a varied group of customers, businesses, and every individual under the earth.

To create SEO-friendly blogs, one has to take care of the following aspects.

· Relevant content

· Appropriate title

· Proper links

Content
Blogs have got two functions to perform – firstly, it should Update regularly daily or wekly basis, and secondly, it should attract prospective visitors to the website. Both these functions can be achieved only if it is provided with appropriate contents. The search engine identifies the website mainly through the keywords used in it. This rule is applicable to blogs too. The blog, therefore, should contain appropriate number of keywords per total word count (keyword density).

The relevance of the content is another important factor, not only for the SEO purposes, but also for the business purpose. The information that you convey through the blogs should be effective and useful to the customers. It should not merely aim at SEO and thus focus only on the keywords.

Title
The title is the identification code of the blog. Therefore, the title of the blog has to be named on the primary keyword/phrase. It would enable the search engines to trap them easily.

Links
To reach to a blog, there should be proper links to it. The website should have outbound links to the blog; in return, the blog sites should contain links that direct them to the relevant website. This link exchange is another important method of improving the traffic of the website.

SEO-friendly blogs improve the traffic to the website, and it also attracts the viewers to it. The role of blogs in website marketing will continue to remain relevant for a very long time.

Do We Need Google

Webmasters across the Internet spend countless hours preparing their websites to suit Google's latest algorithm changes, in the hope of achieving a decent Google page rank, or a handful of backlinks on Googles huge database, but at the end of the day.. does it really matter?

For those of us involved in any form of search engine optimization, we are led to believe that if our websites are not recognised and accepted by our new master, then we are doomed to failure. There are currently hundreds of tutorials available on the internet which offer tips, tricks and secret formulae in making our pages "Google-Friendly", and in a format that is acceptable to this Search Engine Giant. Yet who knows what is acceptable to Google and what is not?

During the last couple of years however, it seems ownership of the Internet has been surrendered to a new overlord! GOOGLE!

Google's algorithm changes are becoming more and more unpredictable and this deceit presents the potential for high damage to your profitability at short notice. In their Company Profile, Google claims that their mission is to "organize the world's information, and make it universally accessible and useful". It is questionable however, as to whether their methods offer the world free and relevant results for any search term, or whether they in fact, only present information offered by those

websites that adhere to Google's ever changing and secretive rulebook.

The Internet is there for all of us to enjoy. A free information system, with a level playing field when it comes to getting our websites noticed. Google's agenda now seems to be to present information from the highest bidders rather than delivering quality information to it's search pages. And what of "Google Ranking"? So much store is set by the importance of being ranked by Google, yet is it really that important?

The word Google is a play on the word "Googol", the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros, and whilst Google's founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, coined it to reflect their company's mission to organise an immense amount of information, I believe that the company's new agenda is to organise that amount of dollars into their bank account.

I do however swear that they will get no help from me in so doing! I am now cured of my Google adoration fixation, and set about my SEO duties treating all search engines the same. One can do little more than present an informative, attractive and useful website, with Meta Tags to help all search engines. The Internet belongs to us all, and hopefully it will stay that way for the forseeable future.

Why blogs

Today when I read my mails then there is a quetion related to my blog.....
Why this blog?
Good Question - Why this blog when you have hundreds of SEO related websites around?

Well, before i reply, let me make clear that this blog does not aim to teach you the A-Z of SEO or teach you how search engines work.

It simply gives you the tips and tricks needed to give the visibility to your site/blog on the major search engines like Google and Yahoo. I write the SEO tips based on experiences and experiments.

They are practical, simplified that will be easy to understand even for a non-techie common blogger. The authoritative SEO sites that you see on the internet does not always give you this side of SEO.

I have a blog on search engine optimization tips, that will help you get more traffic from the search engines, the tools you require, how to use them, simple layout tweaks, free online tools, copy writing tips,link exchange tips and keyword research tips.

Also provided is SEO news, Search Engine updates and innovations that you should be updated of in order to stay ahead in the race.

Beyond search Engine


It’s worth taking the time to make your site more search engine friendly, because some simple changes may pay off with big results. Even if you don’t come up in the top ten for your target keywords, you may find an improvement for target keywords you aren’t anticipating. The addition of just one extra word can suddenly make a site appear more relevant, and it can be impossible to guess what that word will be.

Also, remember that while search engines are a first way people look for web sites, but they are not the only way. People also find sites through word-of-mouth, traditional advertising, the traditional media, newsgroup postings, web directories and links from other sites. Many times, these alternative forms are far more effective draws than are search engines.

Finally, know when it’s time to call it quits. A few changes may be enough to make you tops in one or two search engines. But that’s not enough for some people, and they will invest days creating special pages and changing their sites to try and do better. This time could usually be put to better use pursuing non-search engine publicity methods.

Don’t obsess over your ranking. Even if you follow every tip and find no improvement, you still have gained something. You will know that search engines are not the way you’ll be attracting traffic. You can concentrate your efforts in more productive areas, rather than wasting your valuable time.
