The 10 Rules of Search Engine Optimisation

  • Posted on January 25, 2010 at 6:54 pm

Most of the time when we meet a new client we are asked about search engine optimisation. We do our best to educate customers that SEO is all about intelligent work and not just adding ad hoc keywords and registering to all directories possible. I’m writing this article to reach to the search engine optimisation customers and to help them to distinguish the amateurs from the pros. Some website design firms will be experts in SEO as well as being talented designers, but do not assume that this is always the case.

1: No Top Ranking Guarantees

The only formula to increase your search engine rankings is by playing by the rules and hard work. If your SEO promised you “Top rank in the leading search engines in ten days” then you should look for a new SEO. There are no shortcuts. Top ranking in the natural search results will take time. Hard work is imperative, particularly for the content on your site and building links to your web site.

2: Rating is not always the goal

Ask yourself what will a top ranking achieve? Most business sectors are concerned with growing sales on the internet or repeated web traffic. Ranking for the correct keywords is essential There are SEOs who would attempt to display high rankings for keywords that are irrelevant to your business or ones that will not convert into sales.

3: Know your competition

“Rank” is relative position and more so in the SEs natural outcomes. How good you do in the SE result is a result of how much effort you’ve put into evaluating the competition. Evaluate keywords, back links and keyword density. But make sure to never copy your competitors.

4: Use a search engine friendly design

A search friendly design is essential for any productive site. Be sure you have search engine friendly domains and don’t use extended URLs with query strings. You should also make sure that your programmers and designers stick to worldwide coding standards.

5: Choose the right keywords

You must search for the right keywords prior to targeting. There are tools that can help you with this. It’s crucial to know the number of hits for a keyword in the last a few days, previous month and last six months. One should also check the number of online pages that are targeting this keyword. It’s suggested to begin a campaign with keywords with limited competition and sufficient search volume.

6: Write good articles

Even if your site is technically perfect for search engine crawlers, it will not give you any benefit unless you also fill it with good content. Informative articles result in repeat visitors and increases the probability of sales conversions. Informative articles are factual and attracts the target buyer. The page should have desired action integrated in the articles. You must ensure that the content is fresh. Keep adding and editing the content regularly.

7: Exercise a good hyper linking scheme

You should hyperlink in the correct context within the site and to the additional sites. Use relevant anchor text when linking to internal pages in your site and make sure that there are no dead links.

8: Write separate meta description and keyword tags for each page of your site

Whilst not infuencing the rankings, meta description tags are important because they are used in the search engine results pages to summarise the subject of the website page. Well written meta description tags can increase conversion rates.

9: Add links that point to your website

The most important factor in search engine rankings is the amount and quality of links that you have pointing to your website. Over a period of time, you should be constantly building new links to your website by submitting to website directories, article directories and blog websites.

10: Ask the experts, if you need to.

If you’ve the aptitude there are two modes to learn. Gain knowledge from your own errors and learning form other’s mistakes. If you have the time and can wait for the online revenue do it yourself. If you wish to get on track now it’s perhaps helpful to consult the SEO experts.

Why you shouldn’t buy a puppy from a puppy store

  • Posted on January 25, 2010 at 7:58 am

There is a huge difference between people who breeds dogs and you should be aware of that when you are thinking about buying a dog. It is easy to go to a store and to fall in love with a puppy in one of their cages, even feel sorry for them sitting in a cage, but where do they get their puppies from?

Most, if not all puppy stores, get their dogs from breeders who is in it for money. No serious breeder will sell to puppy stores. You will never see a papillion puppy from Crisanda Papillons in a puppy store for example. People who are in it for the money don’t care about the dogs at all. They are called puppy-mills and breeds dogs out of greed. Their dogs live in filth, small cages and have a miserable life. Lots of puppies are sick with kennel cough, worms, bad coats and not bred to standard.

People can go to puppy stores to look at the different dogs they have or go to a dog pound, but they need to stay away from puppy stores to buy one.

People should stay away from most web sites that have puppy ads too. Why is that? The reason for that is that most of them don’t care who advertise their dogs on the web site. 95% of the ads is from puppy-mills and scammers. One good indication of a scammer is that they do not have a web site and if they do they have stolen puppy pictures from a real breeders web site and use them to sell their puppies.

One web site that you should use is PawsitesOnline.com. Every ad has been screened and all breeders who advertise is a serious breeder so if you plan to buy a puppy, that is the only website we recommend.
