How to do SEO?
Its a complex process and big thing. To bring your site in search
ranking 1st position, takes lot of effort. But taking of few simple
things, your website can be brought in to fist page of the search
result. If the page is unique in nature, it can come to the 1st position
with few minimum changes.
Here we will be mainly trageting mainly low hanging fruits. SEO
Optimization steps are given below.
Steps:
1. Unique Page Tile:
Every page needs to have a unique title. No two page should have common
page title. Title should represent your page. You should give the title
of your page keeping in mind which user query you are trying to answer
in this page. We should target a phrase(a user query) and use that as
title. Try to make the page title unique. To do the page title unique,
if page title gets longer, that also fine. Page title carries near about
50% weightage in the search ranking. Its the most import part of the
SEO. If your page title is unique and your page content
support/represent the title, no need to bother about other parameters.
Example: "XML Utility Online" or "Free XML Utility" is better title than
"XML Utility" as there will the thousands pages with XML Utility.
2. Meta Tag ()Description and Keywords)
Html page meta tags are heavily used by the search engine to know about
your pages before indexing it. So meta tag information are important for
search engine optimization.
Use following meta tags on each of the pages of your website.
Meta Description: It should be long enough to describe your page and
page content should support it.
Meta Keywords: Add the keywords here which are relevant to the page
content.
Meta Tags are:
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="description" content="Long description of the page">
<meta name="keywords" content="Keywords which are relevant to the page content">
<meta name="robots" content="all">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
</head>
For more information:
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/special-tags
3. Heading Tag
In the page body it should have a heading tag (e.g.
) and it should content the page heading which gives the summary about
the page. (similar to page title)
Example: <h1> Java Code Generator For JSON Processing </h1>
4. Site Map and robots.txt
You should have a ads.txt and sitemap.xml file in the root directory of
your website. Web crawlers uses this file to crawl the website.
Example:
Robots: https://www.easycodeforall.com/robots.txt
Site Map: https://www.easycodeforall.com/sitemap.xml
5. Optimize page content
Content is the king. Have unique meaningful content for each page.
Content size should be good enough to represent the page title, page
heading and meta tags description. You should have compelling content
that answers the user's query. Content objective should the user. But
not the search engines.
6. Image Tag Alt Text
Each image tag should have alt text. Search engine can not decode image.
They use the alt attribute value of the IMG tag to know about the image
and the page.
7. Mobile friendly pages.
Your website should be mobile friendly. Search engine especially Google
give weightage to mobile friendly pages. All pages should be responsive
and open in mobile
8.) Make your site Available 24*7
All search engines used robots to crawl the pages before indexing them.
If website is not available when robots tries to access it, it will not
able to index and it will not be rendered in any search result.
9. HTTPS
Make your site HTTPS enabled. so that people can trust it.
10. Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.
Register and submit your site to search engine. For google create an
account and register your site at
https://search.google.com/search-console
11. Analyze your search performance and user behaviour.
Time to time login to the search.google.com. View serach performace
report and user queries. It will help to analyze your search performance
and user behaviour.
Note: SEO is not one time activity. Its a
continuous process. It needs regular monitoring and
refinement/enhancement.
When you did SEO for a page, you
had something in mind for which search phrase this page should render
in the top 5 list. You can do search with the same keyword / phrase
after few days in Google. If your page is not coming in the top 5
list, you need to do a comparative analysis with the site(page)
showing in top 5 and your page. Try to understand why your page could
not make an entry in the top 5 list. Then refine/update your page
content and other SEO specific attributes.
Finally
content is the king! If content is unique, SEO task is very easy.
Even if with some technique and artificially you able make your page
ranked in top 5, it will not be able to sustain if content is not
good(authoritative).
