Very Necessary Optimisation Tips For Any Website
By John Edet
META tags are variables written in the head section of an HTML document. These are indexed and analyzed by most search engines. The META keywords and description tags are stored by the search engines and made available as results to search queries.
Optimal use of META tags:
For this reason, make sure that these META tags contain the ”right” keywords for your store and a meaningful description of it that is as precise as possible. This completes the first and most important step towards getting the best ranking for your store.
You should be aware that search engines have an ”allergic reaction” to keywords used repeatedly in META tags and give them a lower ranking.
Important note, put yourself in the position of your target group(s) when editing META tags. Make sure that you use only relevant keywords that are directly related to your site and page content.
One last keywords tip. It always best if your most important keyword is included in the domain name of your store.
Optimizing design and content:
Web pages written in HTML are a basic requirement for your store to be indexed by the search engines. These pages must contain enough of the right kinds of words and phrases that can be read by machine. Your online store fulfils this requirement as long as the page cache is set correctly.
You should always make sure that you include the relevant keywords in the prose, labels and other texts used on your pages, because the search bot will then assign a higher weighting to these words. Photos and images with text look great, are an important part of appealing to your customers and should always be present. But you should be aware that search machines are unable to index this content. This makes it that much more important for the keywords relevant to your store to appear in sufficient number in the text on the pages.
Active linking:
The more web sites there are on the internet that link to your store, the higher it will be listed in search engine results. Search engines place primary emphasis on the quality and not the quantity of these links. Apart from the number of visits, the relevance of the site plays a very important role. So, it is best if large sites with a lot of traffic directly related to your product offerings link to your shop. One option of achieving this are partner programs in which web sites within the partner network link to your shop.
Paid advertising or AdWords placed at search engines make it possible to show search term-specific, paid ads along with the normal search results. Payment is based on cost per click. The prices for keywords vary and are determined dynamically in a bidding process.
Pay attention to the following things for paid ads at search engines:
Optimal ranking from the price-per-click you are willing to pay, make certain that your ad appears on the first page of search engine results and is included
within the first ten ads. Doing so can greatly increase the click rate. Be aware that you do not always have to be at the top, it is normally enough just being listed on the first page and this is much less expensive.
Plain text in the ad:
Design your ads for the search engines to be clearly laid out with easily understood text that includes the search term the user entered or words that are clearly related to the search term. Ideally, you should place these words in the header of the ad.
