Search engine optimisation is about so many things. You will read many different theories on the rights and wrongs of ranking your website, design factors, on page optimisation, W3C compliance and the like.

The thing is this can all be done over time and I would always recommend that you first get it up (if you pardon the pun) and then work on getting it right.

When trying to rank your website in the search engines, produce a new product or even to design a new website, the first thing is to get it up and out there.

Whilst of course it is important to get it right waiting for perfection is a problem we should try and live without.

Every time I look at my website I find of something that I think I can improve. I also get comments from visitors either praise or criticism which is great. Any form of feedback is very much appreciated as they have taken the time to put finger to keyboard and type me a message.

I have tried many different ways to make the site better. Most of the improvements these days revolve around faster speeding times as this makes a difference to my google rankings and, of course, the visitor experience.

Over time, I believe that my website has improved in the way it looks and the overall onpage search engine optimisation.IT is still far from perfect but, I think that it is doing ok. It ranks well for a number of highly competitive terms with very few backlinks.

However much you are tempted to wait until everything is just right, I suggest you get your site online or your product launched as soon as possible and you will reap the benefits.

As always if you have any questions or comments then do not hesitate to email me via my contact us form.

 

Do Not Search For Your Own Domain on Google Too Often And, If You Do………  

Google use a number of ways to help them rank a website. We are always being told that the mighty google works under a veil of secrecy and as far as their algorithm is concerned this is true.

However, if you take the time to read google’s extensive webmaster section then you will find a wealth of information on what google is looking for in a good website.

The gurus selling automated software, only tend to talk about the issues that they have a solution for.

Search engine optimisation is about on page factors including keywords, page titles, meta tags, internal links and outbound links as well as backlinks from other relevant and non relevant websites as well as link wheels, social bookmarking, pinging and other tactics that will have you flying up the rankings.

There are also a number of other factors that never seem to get a mention and that includes peoples search habits and practises.

Most people with any experience of SEO will also have heard of bounce rates and stickiness of the pages. Google measure the time that is spent on a site, if a website is visited and clicked back off within 30 seconds this is not good.

Google will think that the results it served up are not as relevant as they should be. this is the reason that we do what we can to make the page sticky to keep visitors on our sites for as long as possible.

Another factor is whether you click on the results pages at all.

For example, if someone does a search for “bird table plans” then google delivers the results in the order of relevance based on their ranking factors.

Now, when you then click on the results and spend time on the site, this confirms googles opinion and all is good. However,  if you do not click on any of the links, especially the top ones, they will assume that these are not as relevant as they first thought and your site can start to drop down the results pages.

This means that if you are regularly searching for your website or keyword phrases and do not then click on it then you could well be damaging your rankings.

So do not google your keywords too often and, if you do then make sure you stay on the site and even navigate to other internal pages on your site.

Tips To Get Your Website Ranked On Google 

There is an easy formula to help you get your website ranked on google and the other major search engines.

If you follow these tips you will find that your website content will begin to rank a faster and for longer.

The first thing is to make sure that you have your keywords in the main title of the page or post. Some people say that it should be as close to the start of the title as possible in fact the best thing is to have the phrase you want to rank for at the very beginning of the title. I have not found a discernable difference but I do try to do this if possible. (apart from this particular post, where I have the phrase at the end)

Write a decent length article I try for around 300 words or more. This is not always required but if you are going after a highly competitive keyword phrase then the longer the better..

Your keyword density should be around 1.5% to 2% but no more than 3% to help get your website ranked fast in google.

Using H1 header tags with your keywords in the sentence will also help to get your website ranked in good time.

You should also put your keywords in italics, bold as well as underline an instance of your keyword phrase. This should be 3 seperate insantces to get your website ranked for the best results.

If you can then also use h2 and h3 header tags. This is another reason why you should have at least 300 words on each post otherwise it looks odd. I do not always manage this but can still rank well for less competitve phrases and keyowrds.

An image on your website not only makes the post look more appealing and pulles the reader in but it also helps to get your website ranked well on google. It is important to use the image alt text once you have added the picture. Try and make the image relevant to your post.

Try to use the keywords in the last sentence as well as the first.

Linking to other internal pages or posts on your website also helps google to confirm that the page is relevant to your reader and deserves the top spot, or close to it on their mighty index.

The last thing is to make sure that you get your website ranked fast on the google search engine is to bookmark it. I use the pro version of onlywire as well as auto social poster pro and feedburner to send syndicate your RSS feed.

IF you link out to a number of other external sites some say it is better to add nofollow links to them but I do not always do this as I think google wants to see a mix which helps to get your website ranked well and in record time.

Get Your Website Ranked In Goolge Fast

1. The Keyword Phrase should be in the title
2. Create an article or post with at least 300 words
3. Use a keyword density of about 2% do not go over 3%
4. Put the Keywords in <H1> header tags
5. Bold your keywords
6. Put your keyword phrase in italics
7. Underline your keyword phrase
8. Add an <H2> and <H3> header tags with your keywords included in the phrase.
9. Add an image to the page and use the keyowrds in the alt tags.
10. Use the keywords in the last sentence
11. Link to another relevant internal page on your website
12. Use only wire to bookmark the page
13. Use Auto Social Poster Pro if you have it
14. Use feedburner to post your RSS feed

It is not about getting everything perfect, in fact the more you mix is up the better. It is important to look natural and this will not be the case if all your outbound links are nofollow for example.

But, if you follow the top tips above you will see an improvement in your results. You do not have to use every one of the tips on every post or webpage but the more the merrier.

I use a pluin called SEOpressor and there is a review here. You do not need to have it but it does automate the process and makes it all much easier to do.

So try out all or some of the above and see how fast you can get your website ranked.

Don’t Be Fooled By the Google Search Results on Your PC

Google is continually striving to improve the way we interact with the internet. They are innovative and forward thinking. Some things they get right and some they get wrong.

I love this about them, they are not afraid to try things.

One of the ways they tried to improve our google experience was to interact with our computers. This has lead to many of us jumping up band down shouting ye ha or wa hoo and a number of other excited expletives. Unfortunately, this can be followed with severe bouts of depression and outbursts of tears and tantrums.

Let me explain, a few weeks ago I had an email from someone who was ecstatic, they had setup a website in a tough niche and they had been working hard to get it ranking for what I had told him were very, very difficult keyword phrases to rank for. He was writing to rub my nose in his superb SEO skills and to inform me that I did not know what I was talking about. Several of his keyword phrases were now at the top of the google search results. Numero uno, number one the top spot and all within a matter of weeks. He was so excited he thought all his birthdays had come at once. He, was ready for the money to come rolling in in bucket loads.

He was of the opinion that this SEO stuff was indeed a piece of cake.

Now, I do not like to see a grown man cry or to wet on his fireworks but, I had to tell him that although he was looking at his website on the top spot for his keyword terms, the rest of the world could not find them on page 10 and beyond for anything at all.

Google Search Results Can Be Unique To You

The reason is that google wants to make your experience the best it can and one of the ways it does this is to hijack your computer if you use the google toolbar or are logged into your gmail account. Websites that you visit regularly are often placed higher up the results for your convenience.

He had been doing two things that helped his meteoric rise to SEO stardom (on his computer only disappointingly)

First he used to type his domain name into the google search box instead of the address bar and he was also searching for his keyword phrases daily, searching down the results pages until he came to his site and then clicking on it. Google had noticed this and in their desire to help him, or maybe they do it for a laugh, who knows, they then placed his website to the top of his personal results pages.

If you are going to check your own rankings do so through a proxy server and also stop google from following your search patterns in the settings pages.

Luckily, he was able to cancel his order for the Porsche Carrera and he has now stopped swearing at his computer. I have told him that things can only get better and he will get over the overwhelming feelings of disappointment that he feels, especially when his site does get recognised by google as the authority place to go for his niche and can be seen by the rest of the world, or at least the UK where he is based, and not just on his machine.

Good luck and do not get fooled by the mighty google search results appearing on your pc.

Getting Accurate Google Search Results

If you want to get accurate google search results then the best way is to use a proxy server. You can use hidemyass.com, freeproxyserver.net or zend2.com. Go to one of these sites and go to google.com or whichever google site you want to check your ranking for and then search for your keyword phrases you will then be given the google search results as seen by anyone else when they do a google search.

The other way is to use a firefox plugin called google global. You can then check a list of other google websites  from within the firefox browser instantly.

So, dont be fooled into thinking that you are number one just because you can see your site on the top of your search results, use the techniques above and get the right google search results.

Rank Your Blog in Google

Writing effective titles for articles whether for article directories, syndication or for content on your own site is important if you want to rank your blog in google for your given keywords. 

You need to think about the structure of the title to allow you to rank for as many keyword phrases as possible.

In other words the more keyword phrases that can be made out of the title the better it will be for your site and the more keywords you will eventually rank well for.

This is one of the most important parts of the article writing process in my humble opinion.

There has been a lot written about keyword density and latent semantic indexing and the perfect article length, but I have found again and again that the title can make or break the success of the article when it comes to ranking your blog well in the search engines results pages.

There are certain things that you can do to help rank a blog post or article on your website. I use a wordpress plugin called Auto Social Poster You do not need this plugin but it automates the process and gives you an indication by way of a percentage rating. You can do it manually by following the guide. How to rank your blog well in google. You can also use onlywire which is a great service to rank your blog in google.

If you check out the title to this post you will see a number of variations for phrases that we could eventually rank for.

Rank Your Blog in Google and You will See Big Results

Lets take the title of this article “How to Write An Effective Article Title To Rank Your Blog Well in Google” The following is some of the keyword phrases that you should be able to rank for with relative ease.

Rank Your Blog In Google – Something extra.

Do not limit this practise to the title. Try and use this same strategy when writing the body content of the article as well. The title is all important but getting the body text right will also have a positive effect on your rankings. Remenber what you are trying to do is show that you are an authority in the subject. The more recognised and relevant phrases that you have in your article or blog post the more keyword phrases you will rank for and the more of an authority you will become in the eyes of google.

This will mean is will be much harder for someone to knock you off your perch as king pin the in top spot of the search engines.

Try it and you will soon see that it will make a big difference when you want to rank your blog in google.

SEO and the new Google algorithm 

Google recently made a major change to their algorithm to continue in their efforts to make the search results more accurate and useful to those if us using google to search for a multitude of things.

 

Some people have seen their sites drop way down in the serps (search engine results pages) and there has been a lot written about it but in the big scheme of things this is all good in my opinion.

 

If your sites have good content and are well structured offering your visitors valuable information then you should be ok. 

 

In fact some of my sites in the more competitive markets have risen in the rankings as other websites have been penalised for being naughty

 

If you have a lot of auto generated websites with duplicate content or links from similar sites then you may well have seen a drop. 

 

The thing is do not panic, you can in fact improve them and get them back up there. IT will take work but with a little effort and a few tweaks it is possible to get them ranking on the first page of google once again.

 

You can bet your bottom dollar that google will continue to make changes to their algorithm and try to stay ahead of those that work hard to beat the system.

 

I say why spend time and effort trying to trick or fool the system when all you have to do is make sure that your website adds value to your visitors and the internet user.

 

That way, you should be able to rank well and stay there without worry.

 

In my next post, I will dispel the myths surrounding keyword competition.
