Top research tips
Divide your key phrases into themed groups
This is important for your website navigation, search engines, improving conversion rate and successful PPC/SEO campaigns
Make sure you consider variations (stemming)
Updating your website
Search engines need to deliver RELEVANT results
Time sensitive information is seen as more relevant
SE’s & your visitors give you more credibility if your website is up to date
Use the phrases that you want to rank for in your copyso that the search engines know what you are about
How to update your web pages
META descriptions- Used for search engine results pages- Good way to ‘hook’ users into your website
TITLE tags- Most important thing to change- Good titles, help rankings. Fact. Change them!
META keywords- What a lot of people believe SEO is- No value for SEO – don’t waste your time!
Check your pages
Link! Links! Links!
• Links from quality, relevant websites are a lot more valuable than general directory links
• Make sure you use relevant link text e.g. Adido web design not www.adido-solutions.com or click here
• ‘Off page’ factors, such as links from other sites, are said to have up to 60% of overall relevancy of a website
Check your links
Too much of a good thing?
• Too many links too quickly will trigger Google filters
• Make sure link text is diverse other penalties await!
