Good Seo Practices Good SEO Practices = More Interest Search engine marketing is increasingly becoming popular with people from all walks of life and businesses of all hues adopting the web in a big way.The global recession has clearly thrust SEM into the spotlight as a great way to drive targeted traffic that is measurable and also making a huge difference to the bottom line of any company, the £ generated in revenue.

Search engine optimisation ( Organic SEO ) and Pay per click (PPC) marketing are increasing in importance as affordable means of tapping into potential markets by reaching that targeted audience on the web. Compared to the traditional TV or news print advertising which are far more expensive and the results are hard to measure. It is all the more imperative that SEO practitioners adopt more white hat creative methods to improve the visibility of their clients’ sites.

 

1) On page optimisation:
The search engine algorithms in place today are way more sophisticated than what it was a few years ago. This makes Organic SEO such a dynamic field that SEO techniques which worked well no so long ago have lost their charm in the present day. But on page reach and the structure of the code that is used to support that content will be determine the overall performance of the site.

2) Top Quality Content:
Quality content is the currency of the web. The more unique it is to the potential searcher the higher its value of redistribution, the more power it has.  Everything evolves in life and so do consumers as they search for products/services using search terms that are not technical or even colloquial.

All that needs to be done is the research to find out what prospective customers are searching for.

You must remember that not everyone who surfs the web is looking to buy a product/service, remembering that people are also looking for solutions to solve problems or asking questions of concern.

What starts off as a search for general information leads a user to looking for more specific information, then research and review of the products/services available can culminate in a purchase of the relevant product or service.

3) Social Media:
Let us be honest about this. Social media is not suitable to all businesses selling products/services. It is very powerful tool to leverage in businesses like travel sites, music and video sites etc. Twitter is the darling of the cyber masses today and undoubtedly has captured the imagination of millions of users worldwide.

The general belief is that to sell products or services on Twitter, one must have lots of followers. This means the same person has to follow others in order to make the others follow her. She ends up with thousands of followers and in turn follows thousands. When she has a critical mass of followers, then she can promote her services/products. I disagree with this purely due to the fact that the efforts are not targeted.

4) Backlink Profile:
At this point of time, links are a singular source of authoritative signals to the search engines. If your site has an impressive backlink profile as a result of hard work put in over the years the website owner or due to outsourced link building efforts to an industrious SEO professional, it can have a huge impact on your site’s ranking on the SERPs of all the major search engines as it is not easy for a site owner to manipulate this.

All links created are not equal. This may sound cliche but it is very much true. The key today to a successful link building campaign is the the number of unique domains linking to your site and there quality. The higher the domain diversity, the more powerful is your site will become should all the other factors have been addressed first.

WARNING:

Link Building should not be done by the inexperienced, the reason for this is that without knowledge and understanding factors these either result in being ineffective or worse.
