5 sneaky SEO tricks

Website url:

When you are linking back to your site or using your domain name, be sure that you are consistent with which form of your domain name you use. If you often omit omit the www, then the search engines may mistake your site for two separate websites. This mistake can cause you to lose site popularity because your backlinks will be split between two separate domains.

EX: http://frontpagevip.com and http://www.frontpagevip.com

Strong Not Bold

It is a good idea to bold some of your keywords in your websites content to make clear to the search engine robots which keywords you are targeting. What is not good is using <b></b> in the html code to bold certain text. Many computer generated websites will use the <b> feature which Google now automatically flags. The proper way to bold your text is to use <strong></strong>.

Stop Words

Stop words in the meta tags can also take points away from your SEO efforts. Stop words are a, the, of, that, if, and so on. The more stop words you have in your title tags the more it will lessen your search engine positioning.

Alt Keywords

It is good practice to include your keywords in your “Alt” images but there is one thing to watch out for. It is not a good seo to use the same keywords more than 3 times. If you have several images, you should try to target a few keywords.

Too Many Images

Images are good way to make your website attractive and at the same time generate traffic through Google images. There is one problem that many web developers overlook: too many images. A good rule of thumb is not to display more than 10 images to one page. This will take away from your website’s content and therefore reduce your site’s SEO.

Definition of Backlink:

Basically a backlink is an external page that links back to your website. The importance of having another site linking to your site is that it gives your website more relevance. You can look at it this way; It’s not what you know its who you know. The more sites linking to you site the more important you site appears.

There are many way to start generating free backlinks to your site. One surefire way is to write a few articles that pertain to your site’s content. The key is to write at least 5 articles and submit the articles to 50 article directories. In you article make sure you include your website’s url in the author’s box. Article directories have the capability to generate thousands of backlinks to your website because they share your articles with Ezines and other directories.
