Optimizing for Google
5:28 pm
Search engine optimization is a key concept to keep in mind while developing your website. A good business needs to reach an ever growing range, spanning from a small locality, to the state, nation, or entire world. By tracking your overall traffic, visits, customers and search engine rankings, you can optimize your results, by finding out what works well for your website and what doesn’t.
By using SEO optimization, a web developer can work with a wide variety of tools in order to increase overall traffic and popularity to their website. The broad range of general concepts categorized into the Search Engine Optimization market include, though not exclusively, keyword densities, topic relevance, meta tags, script coding, domain names, back linking, search engine submissions and advertising.
So what is keyword density, anyway? Keyword density uses a specific percentage of words that are relevant to the overall topic of your website. For example, if you were looking for a website about optimization, you would want to use “search engine optimization” as a keyword. This allows web crawlers to find your website and narrow down what it is all about, based on the most commonly used keyword densities in your content. However, be careful! Using the keyword too frequently can get it labeled as spam, keeping visitors away.
The relevance of your topics – the content material actually in your website – to the intent of the website is important in helping pull in people. Search engines will rate your topic relevance as compared to the keywords in the search. So, if someone were looking for information on mice, if your site on mice had more topics related to birds than mice, it would be ranked lower than if your content just dealt with mice.
Meta tags are keywords that are put into a special part of the site that remains unseen, in a header through professional scripting. The purpose of meta tags is to help engines find your topic. The meta tags you use should be the main thrust of your content. Although there are different script alterations that can be done automatically to detect meta tags and put them in the script for you based on densities in your content, it is best to avoid using them unless you are a skilled designer.
Although Juliet thought a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, you want to make sure your domain name isn’t any old thing. If you were going to create a site on roses, you would be unlikely to get many hits with the site domain DirtySocks. Keeping the domain name either relevant to the topic, or a business name is much better web sense. And, ideally, you would also be either dot com or dot net – the leading ranks in Google.
