What matters?

 


1. Plenty of inbound links. It shows that the site is somewhat of an authority. Good inbound links will help you to get higher search engine rankings. It is worthwhile to spend time on getting links.


2. A single link from a relevant site is worth more than twenty other irrelevant sites put together. Go out there and find relevant sites and plead to them to exchange links with you. If you have good relevant contents that are useful to the other relevant site, they might even give you a one way link.


{{ Something to think about:
A study shows that as many as 45% of all queries are re-finding queries; that is to say people often search back the same thing that they did before.
It also means that they are searching for something that might change with time, like updates.
In order to help them remember your site, do something out of the ordinary so that it stays lock in their mind.
Mediocre contents will never get any re-visits! Useful contents with updates is the trick }}


3. Plenty of inbound links. It shows that the site is somewhat of an authority. Good inbound links will help you to get higher search engine rankings. Get more inbound links, but don't buy them!


Important factors for good search engine rankings.


There are many factors to consider before you get good search engine rankings. Most major search engines have hundreds of factors to consider, and they are called algorithms. They also change constantly. Here are the main ones that you should pay attention.


On-site factors


On-site factor is one of the things that you can do to the content of your web pages. The title Meta tag is one of the most important elements as that is the first thing that search engines look at. Meta tags are meant for the search engines and normally you do not see it, unless you click on the 'view source' dropdown tag of your browser. It is a HTML code.


Put your relevant keyword on the title tag first. Help the search engines to properly identify your page content and you will get good rankings. Make it short, but relevant to your site content. You should also have relevant keywords spattered over the whole page. Write it in a natural sequence, more at the top and less of it at the bottom of the page.


The next thing is keyword density. You should not have more than three percent of it in the page. You can have plurals, adjectives, nouns and verbs of the keywords but not repeating the same word many times in a sentence. The art is to write in a natural fashion, not like spammers who usually squeezed two same keywords in a sentence. Different pages should also have different title meta tags. It is logical to assume that you put different contents on different pages. So are keywords.


Off-site factors


The main determinants of off-site factors are links. You will need relevant links. Get as many as you possibly can. One-way links are preferable. Sometime back, webmasters use to sell their one-way links for a monthly fee. But search engines don't like bought links and so do not go and buy links from others. The other thing is that it is important to have relevant 'anchor text' when you get links from others. These text are the basis that search engines refer to the contents of your site. Weak or wrong anchor text will not bring any benefit from the links. Most of the time, you do have a choice to frame your anchor text, but in case you don't, then politely ask for correction from the site that give you the link.
