Denver SEO Guru

Do a search for Brad Streets "made" SEO friendly, it is a free ebook. It is a great e-book that explains the basics of SEO. There are some methods outdated to get links, but the fundamentals still apply and always when it comes to SEO. As an IT professional, you must remember that these are computers that working through the implementation of a program or algorithm that dictates what you do and how it does, and Google is no different. Google does not wake up angry and treat the wrong place, not like one color on another site, simply run the program and ranks sites accordingly. I can say this in advance, 80% of the highest rankings based on links entrants. The title of each page has a good portion of onpage and properly secured bonds of relationship "pages" is not places making the mass majority of the SEO.

Core Seo Strategy

Your core traffic strategy will evolve around using Search Engine Optimization to get search engine traffic, with a goal of getting top 10 or 20 search engine rankings in Google, Yahoo!, Bing and other secondary search engines. At the same time, you’ll get by-product traffic from blogs, websites, article sites, business directories, Web 2.0/social sites and more.

Search engine traffic is some of the highest quality targeted traffic you can get. These visitors are high quality because they were specifically looking for your company’s products or services. These are motivated consumers seeking you out… You’re not chasing them! You’re attracting them.

The trick to SEO is to target the right keyword in the right way. And, the result is that the traffic is going to get drawn to your website for a long period over time, virtually automating your traffic.

How Search Engine Work

Keywords: These terms and phrases are the foundation of the search engine results. The search engines review the structure and content of your site to understand how you’ve used keywords and then use that information in their algorithm to rank your site’s content.

Web Pages: The search engines rank pages, not websites. What this means is that each page of your site must be structured and optimized for specific keywords in order to get ranked properly. If used the right way, you will be rewarded for high rankings, if not, you won’t get the results you want no matter how hard you work.

On-Page Website Analysis: When Google looks at your website, it looks at both the website as a whole and the individual pages. It reviews your site structure, sitemap, internal linking between pages, admin pages (About Us, Privacy, Terms, Contact Us, etc.).

On-Page Individual Page Analysis: Google’s review of each page on your site includes factors like the domain name of the page, Meta tags, Title tag, page copy for keywords and quality.

Off-Page Analysis: The primary activity reviewed by Google are the “inbound links” (or backlinks) coming from other sites to your website. This includes “forced links” where you intentionally create those links and “natural” links where others link to your site because they find you site of value to their site. The critical components of these inbound links include: anchor text of the link, quality of the site linked from based on PageRank and the relevance of the page/site linked from to the content of the page being linked to.

Combining these components to create an Effective Seo strategy is the key to high search engine rankings. Most experts agree at the time of this writing that the effect of on-page optimization contributes 20%, while off-page optimization contributes 80% to Google’s search engine algorithm to determining its search results.

Keyword: Home Remodeling

If you’ve been using Search Engine Optimization techniques for any period of time you understand the value back links have on your off-page optimization efforts. In fact, it’s estimated that quality backlinks contribute 80% to determining the ranking of your site in the search engines, especially Google.

But… Not just any backlinks. Quality backlinks have a high PR (PageRank) value AND are relevant to the content of your website or the page linked to.

Example: Home Remodeling

Notice the results from a search on the term “home remodeling” in the chart above. See how the site ranked #8 in Google is less than one year old and has only a little over 200 backlinks, but still ranks in the top ten sites on the first page and outranks site #9 which is thirteen years old, has a PR 6 and has over 175,000 backlinks.

A high PageRank implies the site has authority which when linking to your site is passing some of that authority to you. When high PR sites have links to your site, Google considers those links votes…

And, getting votes from important sites is like getting publicity from industry influencers, resulting in more exposure for you in your market and making your site more valuable for Google search results.

So, how do you maximize your back linking efforts?

As I implied above, not all backlinks are created equal. In fact, one link from a leading high PR site in your market can be more beneficial that a couple of hundred links from low PR, non-relevant sites. The take away…

Spend your time, effort and money getting high PR site back links from relevant sites and forget about low quality backlinks.

How to Benefit Most From Your Backlinks

Although your chances of getting backlinks from top sites like Google or Amazon are slim, you can target high PageRank relevant sites and optimize the backlinks you do get. To take advantage of your opportunities, be sure to take advantage of these optimizing tactics:

Anchor text: Optimize the keywords used in the visible anchor text by using those terms that you’ve determined to target as a result of your keyword research. When getting links directed to your home page or, better yet, deep linked to other relevant pages on your site, vary the anchor text using 2-4 different synomic related keywords from your researched list.

Competitor Backlinks: Search your keyword in Google and record those high ranking competitive websites for your targeted keyword phrase. Then take those website and search in Yahoo for sites linking to those sites by typing: links:sitedomain.com -sitedomain.com in the search field (where “sitedomain.com” is the URL of the website). This will give you a list of sites linking to the high ranking site, but eliminate links from the site itself. Use a PageRank checker tools to see which sites have high PR.

Blog Posting: You want to use “dofollow” blog posting so that you actually benefit from the backlinks. If you post to “nofollow” blogs, you will not build link value for your site. One way to get started with general dofollow blogs is to use a List of 100 Blogs With The CommentLuv Plugin and you’ll find links to good blogs for posting and creating back links. You’ll want to sort through these to find those that appear of decent quality.

Contextual Back Links: This is simple, but try and relate the keywords you use in the anchor text of a backlink to the page you’re linking from and the page on your site you’re linking to.

Backlink Stuffing: It’s a poor idea to get backlinks on pages where there are too many other outbound links even on high PR sites since each link on a page takes a part of the PR value of the page so that when there are a large number each individual link has a much diminished PR value it’s extracting from the page.

.GOV and .EDU: High PR sites that end in .gov and .edu are given higher importance in the Google algorithm. This is most likely because they are not usually being commercialized and are primarily content sites of high authority. It’s often harder to get back links on these sites, but when you can, go for it.

Back Link Creation Pitfall

One of the key considerations that Google now factors into its ranking algorithm is how natural the site is evolving. If you put up a new site and it gets thousands of backlinks in a very short time with very little corresponding traffic, you will not get the value you desire out of those links and may even get negatively dinged. The better strategy is to gradually build links to your site consistently over time.

As Google is the primary search engine today, understanding the Search Engine Optimization factors that influence the algorithm that determines the order in which websites rank as a result of an individual’s search is critical. As you review our Seo Services, take into account the following factors, as they all influence Google’s rankings and will help you improve your SEO efforts. And, be sure to review our Top Ten Free Internet Marketing Tools article.

User Intent

Your must understand the visitors intent when searching. Some are information gatherers. Others are comparative shopping, while serious buyers are searching with credit card in hand. Your keywords and web page content must speak to the correct visitor.

Industry Brand

If you are a local store selling computers, you don’t want to try and compete with HP, Apple, Sony or Dell online. Since those websites will be more relevant to yours for the brand, it’s best to set up review pages, create special offers and focus on specific parts, accessories and related items with your keywords and content.

PPC Advertising

If your market niche competes with paid ads for a specific keyword phrase and those ads appear at the top of the search results, they will push down the natural (organic) listings. If this is the case for you, you’ll want to figure out how to be in the top 3 organic listings in order to compete.

Multiple Listings

Some results get double listings (or more) or sub links just below the listing. These are highly desirable as you’re given more real estate on the page for searchers to click on and visit your site. There are some methods to encourage the search engines to create listings for your business in this manner including creating subdomains and an authority site structure.

Google’s Related Searches

In very competitive markets, it’s even more important to fully develop your keyword universe in a hierarchical structure. One simple way to start is to evaluate the terms that Google gives you in the drop-down list while you’re entering in the keyword phrase into the search field. Related searches can also be found at the bottom of a search page and by using Google’s Wonder Wheel found in the left margin under its search tools.

Seasonality

Go to Google Trends and enter your keyword phrase to evaluate the ups and downs during the year when that term has higher search volume. In addition, take a look at your own analytics from your website to determine the high points of the year for your business online. Start a month or so prior to begin to develop some online special offers and build up to the peak of the season.

Create an Attractive Listing

The text in the Search engine results are often a direct copy of your Meta Title and Description tags, while others take a sentence from the content on your website. Take care to craft appealing titles and descriptions that will resonate with your target audience.

Local Markets

Google now shows different results depending on the location of the person doing the searching. This is great for local businesses because it means that you have less competition for higher rankings than you would have if you are competing with every business like yours across the country. So, if you’re a local plumber or restaurant, you won’t have the same competition as a company whose business is national in nature.

Keyword Competition

New websites are more difficult than ones with older domains when trying to rank for competitive keywords. After fully developing your keyword universe, create a structure for your site that uses more long-tail keyword phrases in a way that will get ranked easier and, over time, will build value for those more competitive keywords. One thing that helps Search Engine Optimization for new sites is to select a domain name that contains the main keyword you would like to rank for.

Visitor Frequency

When you have visitors who frequent your site, your website will come up higher in rankings for that individual person during a Google search query. If you can create traffic magnets or reasons for people to keep coming back, they’ll find you easier each time and help to improve your overall ranking in Google.
