2 – Header Tags. Make sure all of your pages have H1 tags, where this tag contains the most relevant information about what the page is actually about. For example, if you had a page selling designer white shoes, make sure your H1 tag is Designer White Shoes, as this lets the engine know what the page is about and also is a good way to get some decent keywords mentioned, so think carefully but do not try to trick anyone.

3 – Optimised Content. Make sure the content is of a very high quality for both the visitor and the search engine. Unique content is far better when it comes to ranking, and if it flows well, is informative and above all useful and not clutter, both the engine and the visitor will be more inclined to like your site.

4 – Optimised Images. If you are going to feature a lot of images on the page, make sure they are optimised. By this we mean make sure they are not too big in both size in terms of dimensions and actual allocation size. If the images are too heavy, it will take longer for the page to load which will effect the efficiency of the spider and probably will make the user go elsewhere, as people do not have time to wait for pages to load.

5 – URL Canonicalization. Looks like a big word, but really, it just means picking the best URL for the page you are displaying. Try to stick to one kind of format and structure and you can always use a 301 redirect if you have a mixture.

6 – Keyword Density. If you have a webpage displaying a product or service, it makes sense that you try to mention that product in the page quite often, but you must never stuff the page full of the same old keywords. Try to make sure that you do give a good mention of what you are trying to do, but mix it up a little, go for some long tail keywords as well and never simply product content just for keyword purposes, it doesn’t work in the long run.

7 – Alt Text. For any images you have on your site and even links, make sure you give them an Alt Text. This is not only a good way of letting the engines and in some cases the visitor know what the image or link is about, but you can also use it as a way of getting a few keywords into the page, but again, do not over do it.

8 – Site Map. Make sure you have sitemap on your site that is in a non xml format, either html, htm, asp or php depending on what your pages are coded in. Engines like to make sure you do everything to make your site accessible for your users and an onsite sitemap is considered a good thing. Don’t forget your XML Sitemap in your webmaster tools as well.

1) Unique content.

Don’t republish content that have been published on other sites. Keep the content on your own blog unique. If you publish duplicate content, the web pages may get caught in Google duplicate content filter, and you will never get to rank well in the search results. If your content is unique, you can be assured that your content will be indexed.

Generating unique content takes time, but it’s not really that hard. Just write what comes to your head. If the blog post is still lacking in content, you can always save it as a draft and work on it later. As long as you don’t copy and paste from other web pages, you will do fine.

2) Network with other bloggers.

Many successful bloggers are also social bloggers. In other words, they spend a lot of time networking with others. The more they network, the more back links they acquire. If you are already familiar with SEO, you know that you need back links to succeed.

Participate in other bloggers’ discussions. Leave comments on their blog entries. Alternatively, you can exchange content with other bloggers.

Always approach other bloggers with something to offer. Don’t just ask others to link back to you without having anything to offer. If you already own a popular blog, offer to link to your friends from that blog. The more you can give, the more likely others will respond to you.

3) Pick popular keywords to target.

Always spend some time to do your keyword research. You can spend hours creating unique content but that content is not going to bring you any traffic if you are not using the right keywords. Web visitors type in keywords into Google to search for information. If your web pages contain those keywords, they will surface in the search results.

Once you have your keyword list, you can create content that is based around those keywords. Never try to keyword stuff your articles with too many repeated keywords. Just write naturally, like you are writing for human readers. Trust the search engines to be able to pick up the context of your content. Apparently, the search engines have proven to be very effective at that. So there is no need for you to try to manipulate the search engines into “thinking” that your content deserves a higher ranking.

Quality of content and back links are what matter most. If you keep the above tips in mind, your blog will become more successful than you have ever imagined.

There are many factors that web designers need to consider when performing search engine optimisation on a website. Firstly, time should be taken to research key phrases, their competitiveness and estimates can be made on the amount of traffic that can be expected fro these phrases.

Once these key phrases have been identified, the site itself must be optimised. Unique “title” and “meta” tags should be added to each page of the site to begin with, describing the page content and where possible, using key phrases. The code should be cleaned up ensuring that any JavaScript is added to the page using an “include” file. The next task will be to look at the text content of the page and ensure that there is enough text on the page for engines to spider and gain an idea of what the site is about and make sure there are enough key phrases placed within the text. This is known as “keyword density”. Very importantly, where possible, minimally the homepage should be W3C compatible. Lastly, all links should be checked to make sure there are no dead links and the site is in good working order.

Once this has been completed, web designers can then setup webmaster accounts at Google, Yahoo! And Bing and an XML sitemap can be submitted to let these engines know exactly what pages exist on your site and how the site should be followed. Any private areas of the site can also be addressed here so that the engines do not spider these pages. Any errors the engines pick up in the site will be displayed here so it can be easily fixed.

RSS feeds can be created that extract the text content of the site and these feeds can be submitted to various RSS directories, along with the website itself being submitted to other engines and directories. These all help in gaining links back to the site which is key as Google favours sites with many links to them as it believes these sites must be more popular with users.

As an ongoing process, articles and blogs can be written and posted regularly to show the website is active and content is being updated and the site is always fresh. web designers can write these articles and blogs for you and post them on the Internet while also linking any key phrases to boost your chance of success.

While this is just a starting point and a summary of some basic SEO practice, it’s important to note that there is much more to optimising a site completely but by entertaining these points, it a good start.

Who does this kind of work?

An online marketing agency will do this kind of work for you. Some agencies prefer to call themselves Search Engine Optimization firms, but it’s all essentially the same thing.

How is it done?

First Step is to perform something called “keyword research.” keyword research is finding out what words people are typing in to search engines. Google, Bing, Yahoo! search engines among others all gather and release this keyword data in aggregate. We can’t tell what you typed in, but we can tell that the majority of people looking for X typed in Y keyword when performing their search.

The next step then, is to optimize your site for the keywords that people are typing in when they are looking for something related to what you do. This is called “on site optimization” because it’s performed on your site.

What else do you do with the keywords you find?

The next step your online marketing agency will do is to go “off site” and optimize the links pointing back to your website. If there are no links pointing back to your site, the search engines are not likely to find you anytime soon. Additionally, the links pointing back to your site should also contain your keywords to help the search engines find you.

The currency of the web is things called “inbound links” or IBL. No, not irritable bowel syndrome, although getting proper inbound links has given indigestion to many an SEO specialist, but I digress.

The best links come from “reputable” referring pages, with a lot of authority, from websites in “good neighborhoods” and contain your keyword in the link text. The worst kind of link comes from a spammy website, hosted with a bunch of other spammy websites, with spammy links pointing back to your site.

If you need traffic now, “pay per click” (PPC) advertising may be an option for you, but SEO principles will still govern over your PPC strategies.

Do a simple search such as real estate for sale Orlando for example and you will be distressed to learn that there are over Twenty Four Million pages on the internet competing for top ten positions in the SERPS (search engine result pages).

This article is provided so you will find the real secrets of search engine ranking.

It is specifically targeted at Google but will also work just as well for Yahoo.com and Bing.com.

Follow these ten techniques faithfully and you will see dramatic results in your position over time for specific key phrases that can convert for your real estate business:

1. Key Phrase Research

Before you do anything else you need to know what people are really typing when they do a search  to find real estate and property for sale in your area.

To find out you need to spend several hours looking through the data provided by Google , Overture (Yahoo) and Bing.

To discover these gems you will need to use such tools as there are available  like the Google External Key Phrase Suggestion Tool and Wordtracker.

I will do an in depth guide how to use these tools and determine what you really must know in a future post.

2. The Importance of Key Words in the Web Page Title

Once you know which key words and phrases people are really typing then you should create pages that match those searches and add the phrase itself in the title tag of the web page html coding.

Place your title text in between the two title delimiters:

WHATEVER PHRASE & some other words

3. Meta Tags & Descriptions

In the non visible part of the html page there are elements called the meta tags where you may add description and key words relating to the particular page in question.

Notice I said to the page and not to the site?

It is important to always remember that what you are trying to achieve is a higher page rank not a higher site rank.

Simply use your key phrase that is the target of your effort for the particular page judiciously in the header part of the html code for the page i.e. in between the part that starts and ends.

Here you will put two tags:

4. Image Alt Tags

Whenever you add an image to a web page you have the opportunity to add some text in what is known as the alt tag.

5. Key Word Density

Try and achieve a key word density of around 1.6% to 2.8% in the visible part of the web page.

To achieve that simply divide the total number of words by the times you need to appear with your key phrase.

( Times Your Phrase Appears / Number of Words )  x 100 = KWD

E.G. Key phrase appears 7 times in a page of 498 words therefore your KWD is calculated:

4/498 = 0.014  then 0.014 x 100 = 1.4 so KWD = 1.4%

6. Key Phrases in URLs

Try to use the phrase itself as part of the URL.

Example:

If the phrase is real estate listings New Haven CO  then either put the page in a directory called real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO; and call the page index.html; or call the page real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO.html.

Alternatively you could also consider buying the domain real-estate-listings-New-Haven-CO.com.

7.) Maximize the Value of the First Link

Google reads your webpage like an English speaking human i.e. top to bottom and right to left.

The most important link to Google (the one it gives the most weight to) is the first link on the left at the top.

Many people make the mistake of making this link to index.html or similar with the anchor text home.

For a realtor the word home can work but better to replace this with your key phrase and make the link to it, and not to index.html (see the next tip!).

8. Avoid Duplicate Content

Google will actually penalize your site for duplicate content.

The problem is that Google cannot tell the difference between a web page at http://www.yourdomain.com/ and http://www.yourdomain.com/index.html and, although they are in fact the same thing, it sees them as two different pages but with the exact same content.

For this reason it is very important not to fall into the index.html trap!

9. The Importance of a Good Navigational Hierarchy

Google is very much for making the user experience the best that it can be and for this reason loves a site that is easy for the user to navigate.

To ensure that your site benefits from this preference you need to make the family tree of your site very intuitive to use by creating and using  sub categories where appropriate and by then ensuring that the top(s) of each tree have easy to follow links that descend into those subcategories.

Obviously the top of the tree should begin on your index.html page.

Create then a site map of all your pages (there are many tools available for free to do this like this one http://submitgooglesitemap.com/) and submit this site map to Google at  http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools

10. Competitive Key Phrase SERPS Analysis

You need to understand that the top ten sites that appear in Google’s results do so for a reason (or in reality for several reasons) and that it is because they best fit the filtration system applied by Google known technically as the algorithm.

Google applies logic and a convoluted recipe that dates back to its original patent over ten years ago where it scores a page or ranks a page based on several criteria (many of which are not overtly disclosed!).

The most important thing is to know (and to understand) what your competitors are doing to achieve high rankings.

Again there is not enough space here to show all the techniques necessary here but essentially you need to work out what back links the page enjoys and then to reproduce the same quantity and quality of those back links to your own site and then add some more.

11. Good Quality Back links

Perhaps the most important part of SEO is in the development of good quality one way links or votes pointing to your web pages.

This is one of the most time consuming elements of search engine optimization as it requires literally thousands of these back links if you really want to succeed and finding thousands of site owners willing to link to you without you offering to link back to them is a very difficult thing to achieve as you can imagine.

Not only do you need to get several of them they also need to come from reputable places and getting the wrong kind of back link can actually lead to getting your site blacklisted in Google if you are not careful.

Do not be tempted to fall for the many offers to submit your site to thousand directories or similar as more often than not you will end up with the wrong links from, very much, the wrong neighbourhood.

The key is to do it yourself or to employ a search engine optimization specialist who knows what they are doing. What you cannot afford to do though is ignore it as it is the area of SEO that can and will make the most difference.

12. The Importance of Video and Virtual Tours for Real Estate SEO Purposes

Making videos and submitting them to the right places can make a huge impact both short and long term to the success of your real estate business.

The success of video sites such as YouTube and DailyMotion to name but two shows just how popular video on the web is becoming. More and more people are expecting realtors to have video and virtual tours on their property listing pages.

The good news from an SEO standpoint is that there are three wonderful benefits of this and they are:

a) Virtual tours really do help to sell listings and can make the difference between buying an MLS listed property through your business or someone else’s.

b) The back link votes you can get from the more popular video portals is tremendous and, simply put, the more video/virtual tours you create and submit the more votes you can get.

c) Google, having paid $1.6Bn for YouTube is actively seeking many ways of incorporating video into its search results and more and more we are seeing videos and virtual tours on the first three pages of results.

(By the way if you aren’t on the first three pages of results you may as well forget it!)

Following these simple yet time consuming techniques will allow you to compete strongly with most of your competitors as long as they are not actively employing the services of a competent SEO specialist (most don’t) and, thus, you should be able to rank highly in time.

Yes it does take time I am afraid but with the correct strategies you can and will  beat your competitors to those elusive inquiries and ultimately to sell more real estate through your web site.

Unfortunately there is no magic wand or silver bullet to achieving real estate search engine optimization but careful research and due diligence will and does prevail time and time again allowing you to seriously generate more inquiries and more sales.

Everyone understands that getting and maintaining the traffic that comes into your website is vital in achieving success. Visitors that find your site through good keyword placement in search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and others are going to be more likely to be looking for exactly what you are writing about.

Using relevant keywords in the post titles on your WordPress blog is one of the most essential (and simple) ways that you can increase your search engine optimization right away. Aside from your post titles, your keywords should be incorporated in the content of your post. To avoid confounding the search engine when it is contemplating the rankings for your pages, you should strive for singular titles that are not used in repetition on your website. Before you write your post titles, keep a list of keywords that are relevant to your site on hand which you can choose from. Along with having your targeted keywords, your post title should be enticing and interesting to read. When your potential visitor first sees your site link in the search engine results, your post title will be the very first thing that they’ll notice. Titles should be reader friendly and simple to comprehend. You can’t be vague with your titles, be very clear so that you achieve your objective easily.

If the post gets linked back by other bloggers/webmasters you will get some targeted backlinks and it will give you some targeted exposure. Each and every post you make sure be pinged.

The most important things for getting search engine results have not changed much over the last few years. A lot of the little things have, but the most important ones haven’t. If you are on any marketer’s email list you have no doubt seen at least one email about how the search engines are making things impossible, but if you buy their product they can show you how to beat them.

It is important for website owners to use SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques in their website as more than 85% of the total generated traffic volume comes from search engines only. You should also have information about the page ranks of your competitor websites and what method they are applying in attaining them.

Ever since the inception of the internet, there has been a saying that ‘content is king’. This is still the case today. Google puts great importance on sites that have content that is fresh and updated regularly. In addition, if you optimise this content to include your targeted keyword phrase and then interlink this content throughout your site, chances are that this will to increase site relevancy.

The main search engines of Google, Yahoo and Bing have their own ways of searching content when you search for some thing or a topic using any of these search engines. Google which is the engine used by many web surfers considers more than 200 factors in ranking a website.

One way you can get informed with regard to SEO ranking is to join the various forums and discussion boards that offer you much information, you can get a chance to interact with many experts on the subject and even decide which partner agency would be able to help you and your brand out in the long term.

Target a different keyword for each web page. When developing your own website, one of the keys to high SEO rankings is to target a specific word per web page you have displaying on your site. You might have 10 different pages accessible on your website and if each is based around it’s own individual keyword you have a much higher chance of achieving a first page Google ranking.

The only way to do that is via your content. Give people what they want, give them something interesting, and rather more importantly drive them to the outcome you require. It’s the typical sales funnel just in a digital format. What makes a good sales person? Someone that can close the deal.

Why does my company/website need SEO?

It doesn’t matter how great your content, or how beautiful your web design is, if you don’t have enough traffic to your site, then it’s useless. With 20 billion sites online today, there’s a big chance that your site won’t be discovered unless you hire seo services which can help you get the word out about your products or service.

The majority of traffic to any website is driven by the search engines – Google, MSN (now Bing), Yahoo and Ask Jeeves. People go to these sites in order to search for the information that they need. If your website is not in the database of these search engines, then you are missing out a great opportunity.

Keep in mind, however, that the goal of seo is not just to get your site indexed, but also, to get you on the top of the search engine results page (SERPs). According to many studies, when your site is listed in the top 10 of the SERPs, then its highly likely that people will visit your site. What does this mean for you?  Well, it’s pretty simple: the more people who visit your site, the greater your chances of making a sale. The more people who know about you, the greater your chances of creating a loyal customer base – repeat customers who will definitely refer you to their family and friends.

How do search engines work?

Perhaps you’re asking yourself, “What does link building have to do with seo?” Before we can answer that question, we will first need to understand how the search engines (SE) work. SEs are responsible for three operations:

Crawling the web using their spiders. These bots use the hyperlink structure of the web to crawl from one page to another.

Indexing of documents. Once a page has been crawled, the bots save these pages in a giant database of documents. They are sorted according to the keywords found in the pages.

Processing queries. When an Internet user goes to the SE and types in his/her keywords, it is the SE’s task to retrieve the information that is related to the keywords used.

Ranking results. A list of websites will be returned to the Internet user. The list is arranged according to the order of importance, as ranked by the search engine.

From these 4 processes alone, we can already see how link building services is important. First, in order for your site to be crawled, you need to get more backlinks – those links from one website pointing to your site. According to estimates, only 8 – 10 billion out of the 20 billion WebPages today have been crawled and indexed. There are several sites that cannot be visited because there is no way for the search engines to discover them.

Second, website ranking in the SERPs is determined through a special algorithm known only to the search engines. While no one knows what are the exact factors that can get you placed high on the list, we know that search engines give importance to the relevance and popularity of a website. Popularity in this case refers to the number of backlinks to your site. The more backlinks you have, the more popular your site is. But millions of backlinks do not guarantee a front page listing in the SERPs. You also have to consider the relevance of your backlinks.

If your site is about computer tutorials, then you need to get backlink from sites which are related to your niche. For example, a link from a Photoshop tutorials site can help you gain greater authority but a backlink from a furniture dealer will not count.

If you have been working with a link building services for quite some time now and you haven’t reached the first page of the SERPs, then you had better start evaluating the kind of links you are getting. Check for the relevance, as well as the quality of the links. High PR, .gov and .edu sites are considered as sites of high authority. If you are not getting backlinks from them, then you had better switch your seo services today.
