Ranking well on a search engine for popular keywords is just about the
best thing that can happen to your website, blog and/or personal brand. Without
ranking, it’s almost as if you’re not listed. Let’s take a look at a few simple tips to improve your SEO ranking.
Regularly perform
keyword research – this will keep you on top of any new search trends or
industry advances. Keep these keywords
and phrases on hand for future content creation.
Always remember to include your links when making a comment or
interacting with a user. List your URL(s) on your various user profiles (such
as the listing on your LookupPage profile) and include a short bio about your expertise. Your URL is an important piece of
text for reproduction – ushering in search engine spiders as well as consumers.
Use your LookupPage Pro account
to get your name or other keywords into your URL.
Provide an optimised link code on your site and invite others to link to
you by supplying simple instructions on how to add it to their website or blog.
Exchange blogroll links with others. This can be done by contacting other
bloggers and agreeing to link to each
other in a reciprocal fashion. Bloggers tend to keep an eye out on who is
reading and linking to their content so, chances are, if they see you are
linking to them, they will investigate what you and your site/blog is all
about. If they like what they see, they may even link back to you.
If you have a new product or service (or any other interesting
information for that matter), be sure to create
relevant content around it. If users are going to be searching for the
terms, be sure there is content listed online for them to find – otherwise,
they might never search for you again. It’s also extremely important that you
keep your content fresh so users find something new each time they visit.
Optimise all your images by using relevant
keywords for the image name and caption and also by highlighting the relevance
by using keywords in the copy around the image (or at least somewhere on the
page).
Keep your keyword and style
guidelines in mind and only spend time or money on content which will help
you.
The BIG SEO tip: Create as much content as possible, but never at the cost of quality. And consolidate it.
