February 11th, 2010Optimizing for Google
When you build your business website, you want to draw customers in. You can do this through search engine optimization. Some of the items that you can keep track of are overall traffic, number of visits, customers, and search engine rankings. By paying attention to these numbers, you can find out what works and what doesn’t as you tweak your site.
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.
With keyword density, you can help draw people interested in the type of content to your site. An example of a key word for a website about optimization would be “search engine optimization.” A web crawler would be able to identify the main search-able topic of the site, by seeing how often the keyword is used. But be careful! If you overuse the keyword, your site could be tagged as spam, and keep people away, instead.
How can you increase the likelihood of someone who would be interested in your site actually finding it? By proper use of topic relevance. The search engine will rate your site based on the relevance to the topic being searched. If your site were about frogs, but had more topics concerning woodpeckers, you are less likely to draw visitors in who are interested in frogs, than if you had more articles and content dealing with frogs.
Through headers in professional scripting, you can insert meta tags, basically keywords for your dense content in your website. It is best to do this manually. Although there are script alterations available to automatically put meta tags into the script for you based on densities, it is unwise to do so unless you are very sure of what you are doing.
If you were looking for a florist, would you be likely to try a website with gravel in the name? Of course not – and that is why you want to keep your domain name as either the business name, or relevant to the topic of the website. And another tip: use dot com or dot net, as they are domains that rank in the top numbers for the Google search engine.
