SEO Tips and Tricks Use SEO friendly URLs

Kashif Intizam — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 07:23:36 +0000

This is most important when you begin using a server-side programming language such as PHP to create web pages. If you use techniques like this: " http://www.example.com/index.php?p=about ", then there needs to be some changes. Search engines really don’t like URL’s like this and sometimes won’t even follow them. Using apache mod rewrites, you can easily rewrite your URL’s to be more SEO friendly. The link above could be changed to look like " http://www.example.com/about.html " or " http://www.example.com/about/ ". Either one of these URL’s would make the search engine much happier and they don’t even require any changes to your current pages (other than changing your links to match the new URL format) .

SEO Tips and Tricks Ensure that your website is accessible

Kashif Intizam — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 07:20:57 +0000

Ensure that your website is safe for screen readers and uses shortcut keys. This does help your SEO, but more importantly it helps your users. There are many other techniques to increase the accessibility and usability of your website. Another example would be to use buttons that can increase and decrease the font sizes on your site. Just because you can read the font at 0.8em doesn’t mean the next guy can. Alternate stylsheets are also a very big priority. If you have a website with a dark background and light text, this can hurt the eyes of some users. You should always have an alternate stylesheet for these users even if it just a minimalistic black and white stylesheet. If you don’t offer this option, it could easily drive users away from your website.

SEO Tips and Tricks Organize your Title tag. Search engines look at titles in order from specific to general.

Kashif Intizam — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:20:18 +0000

Most people type out their title tag like this: " Site name > Page title " or something similar. This will in fact drive less traffic to your website in the case of an informative website. If you have pages with tutorials or blog posts, you will want the more specific title of the page to be first so that it will rank higher when people search for those keywords.

SEO Tips and Tricks Place keywords everywhere except the keywords meta tag

Kashif Intizam — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:19:09 +0000

Say what? Yeah, that’s right. Only Yahoo! uses the keyword meta tag now. Not a single other search engine does. Honestly, Yahoo! is so easy to rank high on, there’s no reason to even use keywords anymore. Instead, place your keywords in places that truly matter. The URL is quite possible the best place to put your keywords. If you can’t manage to get keywords in your URL, place them in your title tag, description meta tag, and/or your header tags (preferably your H1.)
