Website Search Engine Optimization
Once you have your site online, you need to know if it is formatted correctly and Search Engine friendly. By using the below tools you can test your website and make improvements to increase the rank of your site.
Search Engine Optimization Myths
- Small young sites cannot outrank older and more established sites.
If the site you create is more relevant to what the searcher is after then Google will rank it higher no matter what the age or size. Google only delivers what it sees is most suitable to the searchers needs. - Maintain a specific % of keyword density in your content.
Google only rates content on how relevant it is to the search in question, and will not penalise you for having too many keywords in your content as long as it is relevant and will benefit the searcher. - Building links too quickly will get you banned/penalized.
As long as you build your links naturally and do not use the same specific keywords for all your links then the search engines will not penalize you for this. eg. If a major news story breaks, Google does not block the content as 1000's of links will be created to that story all over the web. - Google does not value the 'Meta Data' tags that you enter on your site.
Google does use this meta data and usually uses the Meta Description tag to display in the search results, so still enter any relevant meat data you can into your sites. - Links from relevant sites are more popular than from sites in other niches.
Google can't tell the relevance of a link, and so this is not too important. If your site is recommended from a completely different niche, then this only adds to the quality of your links as they are saying your site has content that is worth visiting. - Duplicate content will get your site banned.
This is completely false as you can use articles etc. from other sites as long as it is relevant to your site content and what the searcher was searching for. Don't believe the hype that you need to make all your content unique and change content just to get ranked. Good quality relevant content is good content.
