Today I would like to share few simple but effective SEO tips that can be used to bring your website on 1^st page of search engines. Many times I have observed that people ignored basics of SEO and just keep building links. Until and unless your backbone of the website (On Page Optimziation) is not strong, you can’t expect good ranking by just building back links.

Here are 5 simple SEO tips to rank on 1^st page:

1)      Selection of right Keyword: This is the very first thing that you should consider before optimizing of the website. Make sure that the keyword should not be very competitive or less competitive. Try to target niche keyword instead of general one. There are few free keyword research tools available on the website like Wordtracker,  keyworddiscovery, Google Adword, WordStream etc. These free keyword research tools will provide some good idea but if you want to do extensive keyword research then you will have to buy their paid version.

2)      Meta Tags: Once keyword research is done then it’s time to develop good tags for your page. Title tag should be related to content and Meta description should provide very brief information about web content. Here you should use some marketing text in meta description to generate inquiries for your business since many times search engines used to display meta description in their search engine result pages. Don’t just optimize the home page, make sure to optimized other internal pages as well. Put Title Tag and Meta Description on all pages and make sure to use unique Tags as well.

3)      Keep your code Clean: Many times designer used to design eye catching design with the help of classic graphics, javascripts to animate, and flash. Note it down that search engines will not like your website if the coding is full of javascripts or flash. Keep your website simple, use text and  graphics which is of less in kb.

Once you have finished the On Page Optimization then it’s time to work on Off Page Optimization – Link Building.

4)      Get links from relevant theme: I observed that many times folks used to participate in link exchange and try to get links from all sources which are actually not good practice. Always try to get the back links from relevant theme of your website.  If your website is about Online Gaming then try to get links from gaming site. This will not help your website to get good ranking but also dominate on top 5 ranking. Or you can take help from seo expert to build relevant back link.

5)      Submit Articles: Write few good articles every month and publish it on few articles sites like Ezinearticles, 212 articles etc. Many sites allow getting 2-3 links for your website and this is one of the best options to build quick back links.

Whatever option you use to optimize your website, make sure to not to avoid basics of SEO.

Search engine optimization is a very crucial factor when it comes to ranking a website top of various search engines. It takes effort to put up a stable SEO strategy, but one way of doing this is by quality link building methods. This article discusses 5 link building techniques that are not known to many.

2. Blogging

Blogging is another effective link building way being used present by most SEO experts as well as online marketers. The trick here is to come up with clever and unique content for your blog to attract more people. The more folks you get to visit your web log, the more chances of getting outbound links, and thus increasing your chance of top-level high in search engines.

3. Back links from friends

If you know a couple of folks who own sites with a huge traffic, you can simply ask them for back links or exchange links with sites which belong to the same niche as you. This is both an effective and cheap way of obtaining links as your friends are unlikely to charge you a thing for the help. Your friends don’t necessarily need to have established websites for link exchange method to work as you can get back links from other blog sites too. Avoid link building mistakes.

4. Commenting on blogs

Another efficient way of link building is commenting on various blogs. For this link building technique to work, you will have to write real comments. You need to understand that millions of people might be viewing your comment and will click on your link if you produce a relevant one. You also have to make sure that the blog you’re commenting on is associated to your website in some way. For example, if you own a website that sells toothpaste, it wouldn’t be a good idea commenting on a blog that talks of furniture.

5. Social media

Sharing article with your links on social media is another great formula of getting quality back links. Social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and others are great ways of sharing content and attracting visitors to your site.

Getting a back links from an Article site is a great method of DoFollow link building within very relevant content.  Because the content of the article is specific to your website, so back links value count more than regular back links. Every seo expert try to get relevant back links for a website so that it can rank well on the search engines.

I was looking for DoFollow article sites / directories that allow you to place a live link to your website in the article or author bio at the end of the article.

Before posting any articles on the article’s site, always bee sure to read their rules, as some may only allow a certain amount of links per article, per number of words, only in the biography, etc.  Most of the article directories will be strict and not approve your article if it does not adhere to the guidelines.

SEO Pune

I was looking for a directory to get back links for my website and found DMEGS.com. Initially this directory site looks awesome, it has 3 Page Rank and Alexa Rank is 21,566, seems good. But I found the loophool in their website, you must have to give back link (reciprocal) from your website to dmegs.com in order to get listed.

Till there it was looking fine, but when I saw their internal pages (where they have listed other website details), notice that they have added NOFOLLOW on every link. HUH…if someone giving you DOFOLLOW back link then you must give the same.

Their secret revealed, so be BEAWARE DMEGS.Com

I am working on a website called The Journeys Project from last 6 months. This domain is just 10 month old and got 4 Page Rank. So how this website got 4 Page Rank within 10 month with the help of Link Exchange.  I will reveal this secret in my next post but there are other factors which should be avoid while doing link building.  If you’ve done any research into search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, you know that one of the most important keys to getting good placement in search engines is to get other websites to link to your site.

The simple fact is that backlinks will give you a high page rank and a high page rank will rank you higher in the SERP’s.

Linking From Non-Indexed Sites
Most people who spend hours building those free backlinks make the mistake of building links on non-indexed sites. For your back links to count, the page on which you have your link has to be indexed. Having links on non-indexed pages means nothing. It’s a waste of time.

Not Using Anchor Text
At first this probably won’t sound too scary, but if you build 2,000 links without relevant anchor text your site can easily pass for a spam site that just gets random links. By using anchor text that is related to your site, it gives your links linkjuice – meaning it makes your links relevant and increases the perceived value of each link.

NoFollow Tags
Many website forums and blogs use nofollow tags to tell the search engine bots not to “follow” the links listed on that page. When the spiders don’t follow the link, the link does you no good. The SEO plug-in for Mozilla Firefox enables you to see whether a link is nofollow or not instantly.

Check your Back Link once in a Month
Once you’ve completed your link exchange and done the checks to ensure you’re not being cheated you must then check your links at regular intervals. Once you have more than about 50 links you will soon find link checking becomes a time consuming process. It’s far better to build your link directory using some form of link manager software that will automatically check your links at intervals you specify.
