Search Engine Optimization
December 5th, 2006 at 07:22 pm by ashok in TrafficRecently I read an interesting post in Atul Dogra’s Blog on 5 Steps to Get Top 10 Website Search Engine Rank. He wrote following five points to get traffic for website.
- Select right keyword for web SEO Optimization.
- Optimize your website ranking factors.
- Submit url to search engines directories.
- Link Exchange and Manager.
- Monitoring and ReOptimizing
No doubt choosing right keyword is very important for optimization. You can bring your site to top of search engine for any obscure keyword or long phrase for which there is no competition. The important thing is bringing site to top for competitive keyword.
If you bring at top your site for a keyword which is typed say around 10,000 times per day in search engine, then you may get good amount of traffic, however if you bring your site top for a keyword or phrase which only you type and which is specific to your site, then it is not something very great.
There are some onsite changes which one has to do in order to bring site to top, like keyword frequency, alt text, link text. But it should always be kept in mind that one should not overuse it. it may invite penalty also.
Regarding submit url to search engine, I don’t think it is of any use now. Whenever I launch a new site, I gave a backlink to it from my other sites and it get indexed in search engines within 2-3 days. However submission in directories may be useful, if the PR of directory is good.
About his fourth point of link exchange, I think search engine do not like it, if you use excessive link exchange you may get a penaly. Many people for this reason use three way exchange. I think search engine can even found this by updating their algorithm. One should always try to get natural link.
As for monitoring and reoptimizing, no doubt it is neccessary if you want good amount of search engine traffic.
But always remember, you can not build a business through search engine traffic only. Search engine can be a contributor but it should not be the only source of traffic and one should not depend on it heavily.
