Website Optimization Even The Smallest Things Matter
Author : Thomas Gajdjis
Every single SEO campaign in existence sits atop some sort of website optimization. Making the most out of your website means getting the most traffic from even just a single one-page site. It is quite possible to get to the number one search result spot with just one page on your site, but it will take flawless optimization to achieve this.
There are many people that think that website optimization solely refers to the amount of keywords in the main page’s content - the articles, in other words. This could not be a bigger lie. While most people who come to your site will most likely pay a lot of attention to the article content that you have written, search engines pay attention to the whole coding package of your website. This not only includes the keyword density of the written content, but the meta tags, tags, page titles, articles, domain name, and everything in between. You could have the ugliest page on the entire internet, but if it is properly optimized then search engines are a lot more likely to pick it up.
Finding a medium between what potential traffic would be looking for and what search engines are looking for is a huge part of website optimization. Readers are looking for information, while search engines are looking for keywords in certain areas of your site. Cutting down on actual information can repel readers and potential clicks, while too little or too much of your keyword phrase can repel search engines.
Creating content that is easy to read as well as informative is the best way to optimize your website. You should also include the keyword phrase appearing in only key parts of the article. The first and last paragraphs of your article are absolute must-have spots for your keyword. Another important keyword area is the title of the article and the page title displayed at the top of the browser. The tags and meta tags you have on the article should also include the keyword with any other keywords that are relevant to your niche.
The trick to all of this is ensuring that you do not pack the keyword into your content too much, which is commonly referred to as keyword stuffing. Stuffing is the absolute bane of the SEO marketer’s existence and it will only work against you and never for you. Filling your content with your keywords too much can cause search engines to ban your site or to keep you low in the rankings. Readers will also be less inclined to enjoy the content, as it will be difficult to read between the overuse of keywords. Avoid keyword stuffing your website at absolutely all costs by paying attention to the overall density.
Website optimization also takes place off of your own domain. When promoting your site on other domains, be sure that the quality is just the same as that on your main website. This will cause the search engines to notice those pages as well, doubling your campaign’s effectiveness.
Starting your own niche website is an uphill battle. Getting real revenue from a website takes more than just a domain name and an article.
