Search Engine Optimisation
Search Engine Optimisation
"Natural," or "organic," search engine optimisation
(SEO) is designing, writing, and HTML-coding a Web site to maximise the
chance its pages will appear at the top of spider-based search engine
results for selected keywords and phrases.
The fundamental building blocks of a natural SEO campaign include:
- Keyword-rich text
- A crawler-friendly site navigation scheme and URL structure
- Link popularity
For your target audience to find your site on the search engines, pages
must contain keyword phrases that match the phrases your target audience
types into search queries. Keyword phrases must be carefully selected and
placed strategically throughout your site.
All the major search engines emphasise page title, visible HTML text,
text placed "above the fold," and text placed in and around
hypertext links. Most search engines don't use meta-tag content to
determine relevancy.
Search engines must be able to find that text. How pages are linked to
each other, and the way sites are linked to other sites, has considerable
impact on search engine visibility.
If crawler-based search engines are unable to spider a Web site due to
the URL structure or other technical reasons, that site can participate in
paid-inclusion programs. With a paid-inclusion program, a URL is
guaranteed to be included in the search engine index. The search engine
will refresh the content very quickly, generally every two to seven days.
What a paid-inclusion program does not guarantee is placement.
Sites submitted through a paid-inclusion program must be properly
optimised for high rank.
The last component of a successful SEO campaign is link popularity.
That's the number and quality of links that point to your Web site. Link
quality (links from popular, highly trafficked and/or respected sites)
carries far more weight than link quantity.
