During a panel at SMX Advanced 2011 in Seattle, I remember hearing a question about Schema.org tags. More specifically, I remember Greg Boser remarking about how search engines have come full circle.
First, they gave us meta data. Then they took it away (as a ranking factor). Now, search engines are once again asking us for meta data. His tone did not indicate any type of excitement about the Schema.org announcement or the use of the tags as an SEO strategy.
Other panelists commented on how the Schema.org tags could lead to additional code bloat, and in the end, none of the panelists recommended re-coding your entire site with the new Schema.org tags, as there was very little empirical evidence to support using Schema.org tags as an SEO strategy.
That’s a lot like where we are right now with HTML5. While people have been writing about HTML5 for several years, no one is out there providing evidence about the effects of HTML5 on organic traffic or really even SEO in general.
In fact, none of the well-known SEO blogs or writers are even discussing HTML5 very often, and those writing about HTML5 are all saying the same thing.
What HTML5 Can Offer
- Brings several improvements in usability and user experience
- Has several new tags that will help developers classify important content
- Is awesome for sites rich in media (audio & video)
- Is an amazing alternative to Flash and Silverlight
- Is SEO-friendly when it comes to website crawling and indexing
- Is going to be heavily used for mobile apps and games
So, survey says: HTML5 will someday make everything better. But that someday is not here just yet.
Most bloggers/writers fail to mention an important point: to date, none of the popular Internet browsers fully support all of the features and codes in HTML5. To be clear, today’s browsers will render HTML5, but there are still many aspects of HTML5 that are not fully supported by or compatible with all Internet browsers.
Google & HTML5
On May 22, 2010, Google created a Googledoodle tribute to the Pac-Man video game. It was an animated logo that was also a playable version of Pac-Man. The logo was created with HTML5, and it had a Flash option for browsers that didn’t support HTML5 at the time. I’d bet that the Pac-Man Googledoodle was most Internet users’ first experience with HTML5 and its capabilities.
Personally, I thought it was exciting. For me, it provided a tangible glimpse into the future of the Internet, website browsing, mobile applications and games, and website functionality. On the SEO sides of things, it opened up my imagination even more, and it got me thinking about all the potential that HTML5 would have in the realm of SEO.
But how would Google use HTML5 for SEO? Would Google provide any advantages to websites moving to HTML5?
In a post from Oct-2010, Barry Schwartz brought up HTML5 and Googlebot. Barry cited a Google Webmaster Help thread where Googler JohnMu implied that Google will “wait and see” and “adapt” to HTML5 as it grows in popularity:
In general, we work hard to understand as much of the web as possible, but I have a feeling that HTML5 markup is not yet as widely in use (and in use correctly) that it would make sense for us to use it as a means of understanding content better. As HTML5 gains in popularity and as we recognize specific markup elements that provide value to our indexing system, this is likely to change, but at the moment I would not assume that you would have an advantage by using HTML5 instead of older variants.
While that thread is over a year old, it says a lot about Google’s disinterest in providing any SEO advantages for websites using HTML5. If any of my clients are thinking about moving to HTML5 strictly for the SEO benefits, at this point I don’t think I’d recommend it as an SEO play. I would recommend HTML5 for other reasons, but not strictly for SEO…at this point in time.
If HTML5 is so much better than HTML4, when are we supposed to use it? And when will HTML5 help with my SEO strategy? Those are great questions. I’m glad I asked.
How SEO Benefits From HTML5
I do not want to create the impression that HTML5 is bad for SEO.
For some websites – especially those heavily reliant on Flash – SEO is a godsend. If you have a site that is nothing but Flash, you will definitely see benefits to switching to HTML5.
First and foremost, searchbots will be able to crawl your site and index your content. All of the content that is currently embedded in animations will be readable to search engines. In basic SEO theory, this one aspect of HTML5 will do wonders for your website’s ability to drive organic search traffic.
Another benefit of using HTML5 is that it tends to generate buzz (read: links). On Monday, Facebook launched their long-awaited HTML5 iPad app. Pandora recently launched a new version of their music player in HTML5. Gaming platform Zynga recently launched 3 new HTML5 games that will run on mobile browsers.
More and more stories are being written every day about websites re-launching HTML5 websites and/or HTML5 features. Being on the leading edge of new technology is great for users, but don’t forget about the link-building, press-generating aspects of such moves. It’s all about inbound marketing, right Rand?
Finally, from a usability perspective, HTML5 has the ability to transform how users interact with websites. Websites that are rich in media stand to gain the most, as there are several new elements in HTML5 that allow for easier audio and video streaming, particularly on mobile platforms.
By now, we are resigned to the fact that the iPhone and iPad will never support Flash. But that’s okay – because now we have HTML5! Developers can now embed audio and video without having to worry about browser compatibility and/or platform capabilities.
New Tags For HTML5
For quick reference, here is an HTML5 cheat sheet. If you are familiar with HTML, a lot of the tags look very familiar.
However, there are a few tags I would like to point out, as they will likely be critical to the SEO success of HTML5 websites:
Final Thoughts On HTML5
If you are thinking that HTML5 can help with code bloat, you are correct. However, when we combine HTML5 with Schema.org tags, there is actually the possibility for more code per page. Such is life. The Web is getting massive, and there is a mind-boggling amount of content out there.
So when Google and Bing decide that they need more meta data because their super-sophisticated searchbots and index warehouses cannot possibly sort through all the content on the Internet, I say we should help them. And at the same time, why not be nice to our website’s visitors by making websites more fun and easy to use? HTML5 can help us achieve both goals.
Sure, a lot of SEOs will push the boundaries to test the algorithmic weight placed on the new HTML5 tags. Then search engines will constantly update their algorithms to adjust to shortcuts and strategies that SEOs find in HTML5.
You know, it actually sounds a lot like the last 15 years in the SEO world. Except now we don’t have to talk about indexing Flash anymore. Knock on wood. |

What is SEO?
Search Engine Optimization is the process of making your Web site as easy to find as possible for search engines and, through them, your clients and customers. For that to happen, your Web pages have to contain the keywords and phrases most likely to be used when a customer enters search requests in an engine, and your pages must be organized in way that’s most “friendly” to those high-tech seek-and-find services.
There are two dominant types of search engines:
Crawler-Based - Google, Yahoo, MSN, Live.com and other top search engines operate automatically, coming up with their rankings by sending “spiders” out to “crawl” Web sites, analyze their contents and rank them according to how likely they are to have what users want.
• Human-Powered Directories - These depend on Web site owners or someone working on their behalf to manually enter their listings, or enough information for directory editors to look over the site and write their own reviews. If you don’t submit your site to these directories, it won’t show up when they’re searched.
How SEO Works Most crawler-based search engines have three key ingredients:
The spider or crawler that seeks out a Web page, reads it and follows links to other pages on the site. These powerful little tech-mites return every few weeks to look for changes and adjust results.
An indexed archive where all content uncovered by the spiders is stored. Also known as the catalog, it contains a copy of every Web page found, and is updated as a Web site changes or grows – for example, when you add new products.
Software that zips through the index database to “match” search requests and rank them by relevance. Because most crawler-based search engines use their own technology, search results vary between them.
How Search Engines Rank Web Sites Unlike a human archivist or librarian, Internet search engines don’t interact with users and ask for more details, or use judgment and past experience to rank Web pages. Instead, they rely on mathematic formulas called “algorithms.” Despite what you may hear, nobody but the search engine owner knows exactly how their algorithm works. But they do follow a universal practice known as the keyword location/frequency method. Search engines look over your Web site to see if the search keywords show up at the top your pages, in the headlines or the first few lines of text content. They assume that any page relevant to a given search topic will mention those magic words right from the start. “Frequency” is how often keywords appear in relation to other words on a Web page. Those with higher frequency are given more relevance, and higher rankings.
Some Cautions Nobody, repeat, nobody can guarantee you top rankings – much less the top slots – on Google or other major search engines. Some providers claim to have “unique” relationships with them, or an “inside” source that will get your Web site to prime time. Don’t believe it. The simple truth is that you can’t “buy” your way to the top, because position is never sold. One scam promises top placement, but gets your site only in lists of paid ads, not overall search results, where you need to be. Note: Rigging the system like making white text (repeating the same keyword on a white background) can actually hurt your placement. Just as you went shopping for storefront software in Step 6, take your time and look around for quality SEO software packages:
Check in with SEO discussion boards or online forums to see what current users are saying and draw on their advice. Ask the SEO provider if it reports any violations of search engine guidelines it finds to Google’s anti-spam project. To gauge SEO specialists’ trustworthiness, ask for a money-back guarantee or some other refund if you’re not happy with their work – and get it in writing.
SEO Best Practices Boosting your Web site’s visibility is a very competitive game, and you should assume that rival sites are playing it. No worries. Here are some well-proven ways to optimize your Web site’s visibility: Get the most from your URL Be specific and creative with your domain name. Use one that uniquely identifies your company and your brand. Create search-friendly page titles Be sure to use relevant keywords first in your page titles, and keep them under 60 characters. Don’t use “home page” in your title Studies show it decreases your Google ranking. Highlight your keywords Be sure the individual words and phrases are in the meta tag description of your site, which you build into the code with your design or site-builder software. The description should be no more than 200 characters long. Focus on density Use multiple key words in a coherent, creative and compelling way on your pages. Be sure your keyword “density” is never more than 5 percent for pages with a lot of text, or 10 percent for pages with little copy, or your rankings could nosedive. SEOChat.com has a free keyword density tool. Emphasize your text links The wording of the links on each of your Web pages is one of the most important requirements of SEO, and will significantly affect your search engine ranking. They should always include relevant keywords. Avoid “spamalot” syndrome Search engines will drop your site if they think you’re “spamming” – and using any of these things:
- Meta refresh tags
- Invisible text
- Irrelevant keywords in the title and meta tags
- Excessive repetition of keywords
- Identical or nearly identical pages
- Submitting to an inappropriate directory category
- A dizzying slew of links that are of low value

Search Engine Optimization is process of increasing the amount of visitors to a web site by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. The higher a website ranks in the results of a search, the greater the chance that site will be visited by a user. It is common practice for Internet users to not click through pages and pages of search results, so where a site ranks in a search is essential for directing more traffic toward the site.
Mainly there are two types of SEO they are organic and algorithmic.Organic Search Engine Optimization can be defined as the use of search engine that help to draw traffic by certain complex methods and techniques. These techniques chiefly includes processes that enables a website to attain higher search engine rankings via certain changes that makes it more search engine friendly and also considers the off page factors like relevance and quality of incoming links. So how will we increase the number of visitors on our site?
Three major components we need to make a SEO are mainly Quality, Media and Marketing. Suppose you go out for lunch and you have two options: one to go to a nearby hotel which is cheap, two another hotel of a higher class a km. away which is costlier but comfortable. But both hotels’ food tastes the same.
So an obvious choice would be to go to the one nearest. This may be the same for the customers searching for your site. The customers need the same service cheaper and faster.
Search Engine optimization is a highly competitive field which needs a good knowledge of working of search engine algorithms and how the robots work. In this process there will be good SEO’s and bad ones. Good SEO’s use only the legal ways to optimize the page. But in the case of bad SEO hey use illegal methods and prevent the deserving sites from coming up the list.
Basically local sites are more sought out for so that people may market their products in their area. So the main search engines used are Google, yahoo and Bing. Every Search Engine contains a web spider. The main thing is that we have to provide the right keywords for the search engines to find out our site. The Search engines only traverse through maximum 15 lines of code on the site so we have to include the keywords on the beginning itself.
When a particular customer searches for the site if it is a job site it should provide the exact page they want to navigate to and not the Home page of the site. This would improve your rankings of your site on the search engines and thereby increases the incoming traffic .So the keywords play a major role in this process.
Conclusion
- SEO mainly improve the quality of traffic on the site.
- Three major components needed are quality, media and marketing.
- Customers of the site always look for faster, cheaper and better services.
- SEO’s include good and bad ones
Good SEO>>Uses only legal ways to improve ranking.
Bad SEO>>Uses illegal ways, prevent deserving sites to go up.
- Local sites are more sought for than international ones to market their products in local areas.
- We need keywords to lead the customers to our site and to the exact page the customers seeks for.
- We provide keywords at starting of the site as the search engines read only first 15 lines of code.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO Introduction)
Search engine optimization is a method of making your web site search engine friendly and to make it rank high in the search engines. If your site is not search engine friendly, you might be losing a lot of traffic that you’re not even aware of. Remember, besides visitors typing in "www.yourwebsite.com" and back link referrals; search engines are the only way people can find your site. The reason is because; I haven’t started working on marketing my site.). When a Search Engine searches the “web” it’s actually only searching stored pages on its own server and cross-referencing them with its algorithm per the keywords that are entered into the search box.
Through Media and Marketing, people will come to know that our site is providing good quality services with cheaper price than any other. (for e.g. if you are in Trivandrum you are looking for good quality shoe in your area you won’t go to kollam which is kilometers away from Trivandrum for the similar quality shoe). When it comes to people we've heard it said that good thing is on the inside. In case if your website is not placed in these few pages than your website carries no worth as there are less chances of it getting browsed on a regular basis.
SEO is not purchasing item or purchasing the No. #1 spot through any search engines and claiming that my website have ranked No. #1 spot in the various search engines like Google, yahoo, aol, rediff etc…. If my website currently ranked the number #10 spot in the yahoo for the search, then we will think how we can get our site to top not only the top that means fourth or fifth but also to grab the No. #1 spot.

In this time of optimization, SEO can help you, how to optimize your web site for better start to choose 3 or 4 keywords you would like your website to a well rank. Keywords are to be very short and not to be very specific (e.g. "pen" or "paper"). These keywords are very difficult to give the No. #1 spots because so many other websites are having this kind of article or more that mentions pens. If a keyword is ranked well, you will be receiving a more number of traffics.
People doing these kinds of searches know exactly what they want to do (e.g. "used ball point parker pen"). These kinds of keywords are less competitive and are easier to rank in the search engines. In this time you will need to have specific keywords i.e. equal to No.#1 rank for a keyword. It is very true because SEO does help in the promotion of sites and it requires some technical knowledge. If you’re doing something or plan to do something in basic SEO you have to understand what the important things in the SEO are.

4. Building a Traffic-Worthy Site
One of the most important (and often overlooked) subjects in SEO is building a site deserving of top rankings at the search engines. A site that ranks #1 for a set of terms in a competitive industry or market segment must be able to justify its value or risk losing out to competitors who offer more. Search engines' goals are to rank the best, most usable, functional, and informative sites first. By intertwining your site's content and performance with these goals, you can help to ensure its long-term prospects in the search engine rankings.
Usability
Usability represents the ease-of-use inherent in your site's design, navigation, architecture, and functionality. The idea behind the practice is to make your site intuitive so that visitors will have the best possible experience on the site. A whole host of features figure into usability, including:
- Design
The graphical elements and layout of website have a strong influence on how easily usable the site is. Standards like blue, underlined links, top and side menu bars, logos in the top, left-hand corner may seem like rules that can be bent, but adherence to these elements (with which web users are already familiar) will help to make a site usable. Design also encompasses important topics like visibility & contrast, affecting how easy it is for users to interest the text and image elements of the site. Separation of unique sections like navigation, advertising, content, search bars, etc. is also critical, as users follow design cues to help them understand a page's content. A final consideration would also take into account the importance of ensuring that critical elements in a site's design (like menus, logos, colors, and layout) were used consistently throughout the site.
- Information Architecture
The organizational hierarchy of a site can also strongly affect usability. Topics and categorization impact the ease with which a user can find the information they need on your site. While an intuitive, intelligently designed structure will seamlessly guide the user to their goals, a complex, obfuscated hierarchy can make finding information on a site disturbingly frustrating.
- Navigation
A navigation system that guides users easily through both top-level and deep pages and makes a high percentage of the site easily accessible is critical to good usability. Since navigation is one of a website's primary functions, provide users with obvious navigation systems: breadcrumbs, alt tags for image links, and well-written anchor text that clearly describes what the user will get if he or she clicks a link. Navigation standards like these can drastically improve usability performance.
- Functionality
To create compelling usability, ensure that tools, scripts, images, links, etc. all function as they are intended and don't provide errors to non-standard browsers, alternative operating systems, or uninformed users (who often don't know what/where to click).
- Accessibility
Accessibility refers primarily to the technical ability of users to access and move through your site, as well as the ability of the site to serve disabled or impaired users. For SEO purposes, the most important aspects are limiting code errors to a minimum and fixing broken links, making sure that content is accessible and visible in all browsers and without special actions.
- Content
The usability of content itself is often overlooked, but its importance cannot be overstated. The descriptive nature of headlines, the accuracy of information and the quality of content all factor highly into a site's likelihood to retain visitors and gain links.
Overall, usability is about gearing a site towards the potential users. Success in this arena garners increased conversion rates, a higher chance that other sites will link to yours, and a better relationship with your users (fewer complaints, lower instance of problems, etc.). For improving your knowledge of usability and the best practices, I recommend Steve Krug's exceptionally impressive book, "Don't Make Me Think"; possibly the best $30 you can spend to improve your website.
Professional Design
Elegant, high quality, high impact design is critical to gaining the trust of your users. If your site appears "low budget" or only marginally professional, it can hurt the chances of gaining a link and, more importantly, the chances of engendering trust in your visitors. The first impression of a website by a user occurs in less than 7 seconds. That's all the time you have to convey the importance and authority of your company through the site's design. I've prepared two examples below:
Authoring High Quality Content
Why Should a Search Engine Rank Your Site Above All the Others in its Field?
If you cannot answer this question clearly and precisely, the task of ranking higher will be exponentially more difficult. Search engines attempt to rank the very best sites with the most relevant content first in their results, and until your site's content is the best in its field, you will always struggle against the engines rather than bringing them to your doorstep.
It is in content quality that a site's true potential shows through, and although search engines cannot measure the likelihood that users will enjoy a site, the vote via links system operates as a proxy for identifying the best content in a market. With great content, therefore, come great links and, ultimately, high rankings. Deliver the content that users need, and the search engines will reward your site.
Content quality, however, like professional design, is not always dictated by strict rules and guidelines. What passes for "best of class" in one sector may be below average in another market. The competitiveness and interests of your peers and competitors in a space often determine what kind of content is necessary to rank. Despite these variances, however, several guidelines can be almost universally applied to produce content that is worthy of attention:
- Research Your Field
Get out into the forums, blogs, and communities where folks in your industry spend their online discussion time. Note the most frequently asked questions, the most up-to-date topics, and the posts or headlines that generate the most interest. Apply this knowledge when you create high-quality content and directly address your market's needs. If 10,000 people in the botany field are seeking articles that contain more illustrated diagrams instead of just photos, delivering that piece can set your content (and your site) apart from the competition.
- Consult and Publish in Partnership with Industry Experts
In any industry, there will be high-level, publically prominent experts as well as a second tier of "well-known in web circles" folks. Targeting either of these groups for collaborative efforts in publishing articles, reviewing your work or contributing (even via a few small quotes) can be immensely valuable. In this manner, you can be assured that your content is both link and visitor-worthy. In addition, when partnering with "experts", exposure methods are built-in, creating natural promotion angles.
- Create Documents that Can Serve as One-Stop Resources
If you can provide a single article or resource that provides every aspect of what a potential visitor or searcher might be seeking, your chances for success in SEO go up. An "all-in-one" resource can provide more opportunities than a single subject resource in many cases. Don't be too broad as you attempt to execute this kind of content creation - it's still important to keep a narrow focus when you create your piece. The best balance can be found by putting yourself in the potential users' shoes - if your piece fits their needs and covers every side of their possible interests while remaining "on-message," you're ready to proceed.
- Provide Unique Information
Make sure that when you design your content outline, you include data and information that can be found nowhere else. While collecting and amalgamating information across the web can create good content, it is the unique elements in your work that will be noticed and recommended.
- Serve Important Content in a Non-Commercial Format
Creating a document format that is non-commercial is of exceptional importance for attracting links and attention. The communities of web and content builders are particularly attuned to the commercialization of the web and will consciously and sub-consciously link to and recommend resources that don't serve prominent or interfering advertising. If you must post ads, do so as subtlety and unobtrusively as possible.
- One Great Page is Worth a Thousand Good Pages
While hundreds or dozens of on-topic pages that cover sections of an industry are valuable to a website's growth, it is actually far better to invest a significant amount of time and energy producing a few articles/resources of truly exceptional quality. To create documents that become "industry standard" on the web and are pointed to time after time as the "source" for further investigations, claims, documents, etc. is to truly succeed in the rankings battle. The value of "owning" this traffic and link source far outweighs a myriad of articles that are rarely read or linked to.
Link Bait
When attempting to create the most link-worthy content, thinking outside the box and creating a document, tool or service that's truly revolutionary can provide a necessary boost. Even on corporate image or branding sites for small companies, a single, exciting piece of content that gets picked up en masse by your web community is worth a small fortune in public relations and exposure. Better still, the links you earn with an exciting release stay with your site for a long time, providing search visibility long after the event itself has been forgotten.
With content that generates links becoming such a valuable commodity, creating solely for the purpose of gaining links has become a popular practice for talented SEOs. In order to capitalize on this phenomenon, it's necessary to brainstorm. Below are some initial ideas that can help you build the content you need to generate great links.
- Free Tools
Automated tools that query data sources, combine information or conduct useful calculations are eminently link worthy. Think along the lines of mortgage calculators and site-checking tools, then expand into your particular area of business/operation.
- Web 2.0 Applications
Although the term Web 2.0 is more of a buzzword than a technicality, applications that fit the feature set described by the O'Reilly document do get a fantastic number of links from the web community and followers of this trend. Think mashups, maps, communities, sharing, tagging, RSS, and blogs.
- Collaborative Work Documents
Working in concert with others is a good way to produce content more quickly and with generally higher quality. If you can get high-profile insiders or several known persons in an industry to collaborate, your chances for developing "link-bait" substantially increase.
- Exposes of Nefarious Deeds
Writing a journalistic-style exposé detailing the misdeeds of others (be they organizations, websites, individuals or companies) can generate a lot of links and traffic if done in a professional manner (and before anyone else). Make sure you're very careful with these types of actions, however, as the backlash can be worse than the benefit if your actions provoke the wrong type of response.
- Top 10 Lists
Numbered lists (of tips, links, resources, etc.), particularly those that rank items, can be a great way to generate buzz. These lists often promote discussion and thus, referencing.
- Industry-Related Humor
Even the most serious of industries can use a bit of humor now and again. As with exposés, be cautious not to offend (although that too can merit mentions) - use your knowledge of stereotypes and history inside your market to get topical laughs and the links will be yours.
- Reviews of Events
Industry gatherings, from pubcrawls to conferences to speeches and seminars, can all garner great links with a well-done review. Write professionally, as a journalist, and attempt to use as many full names as possible. It's also wise to link out to all the folks you mention, as they will see the links in their referral logs and come check you out.
- Interviews with Well-Known Insiders
Anyone inside an industry whose name frequently appears in that industry's internal press is a great candidate for an interview. Even if it's a few short questions over email, a revealing interview can be a great source of links, and esteemed professionals are likely to answer requests even from smaller sources, as they can benefit from the attention, too.
- Surveys or Collections of Data
Offering large collections of industry data culled from polling individuals, an online survey, or simply researching and aggregating data can provide a very link-worthy resource.
- Film or Animation
Particularly in industries where video clips or animations are rare (i.e. Geology, not Movie Reviews), a high quality, entertaining, or informative video or animation can get more than a few folks interested.
- Charts, Graphs, or Spreadsheets
These standard business graphics should certainly include analysis and dissection, but can provide a good source of links if promoted and built properly.
- High Profile Criticism
Similar to the exposé system, well-written critiques of popular products, companies, sites, or individuals in a sector have the ability to pull in quite a few links from folks who agree and disagree.
- Contests, Giveaways, and Competitions
Giving away prizes or public awards (even if they're just website graphics) can get a lot of online folks interested and linking.
- Trend-Spotting
Identifying a story ahead of the crowd is commonly called "scooping" in journalism. Do this online, and all (or many) blog posts on the subject will reference your site as the first to "call it."
- Advice from Multiple Experts
If you're creating an article that offers advice, pulling opinions from the well-known experts in the industry is a great way to make sure links flow your way. The experts themselves will often be inclined to link.
There are dozens of other great ways to get bloggers, writers, and website editors in your field to add links to your site. Imagine yourself as an industry blogger, seeking to cover the most exciting, unique trends and pages in the sector. If this individual stumbled across your content, would they be likely to write about it? If the answer is yes, it qualifies as link-bait.

Critical Components of Optimizing a Site
Each of the following components are critical pieces to a site's ability to be crawled, indexed, and ranked by search engine spiders. When properly used in the construction of a website, these features give a site/page the best chance of ranking well for targeted keywords.
Accessibility
An accessible site is one that ensures delivery of its content successfully as often as possible. The functionality of pages, validity of HTML elements, uptime of the site's server, and working status of site coding and components all figure into site accessibility. If these features are ignored or faulty, both search engines and users will select other sites to visit.
The biggest problems in accessibility that most sites encounter fit into the following categories. Addressing these issues satisfactorily will avoid problems getting search engines and visitors to and through your site.
- Broken Links - If an HTML link is broken, the contents of the linked-to page may never be found. In addition, some surmise that search engines negatively degrade rankings on sites & pages with many broken links.
- Valid HTML & CSS - Although arguments exist about the necessity for full validation of HTML and CSS in accordance with W3C guidelines, it is generally agreed that code must meet minimum requirements of functionality and successful display in order to be spidered and cached properly by the search engines.
- Functionality of Forms and Applications - If form submissions, select boxes, javascript, or other input-required elements block content from being reached via direct hyperlinks, search engines may never find them. Keep data that you want accessible to search engines on pages that can be directly accessed via a link. In a similar vein, the successful functionality and implementation of any of these pieces is critical to a site's accessibility for visitors. A non-functioning page, form, or code element is unlikely to receive much attention from visitors.
- File Size - With the exception of a select few documents that search engines consider to be of exceptional importance, web pages greater than 150K in size are typically not fully cached. This is done to reduce index size, bandwidth, and load on the servers, and is important to anyone building pages with exceptionally large amounts of content. If it's important that every word and phrase be spidered and indexed, keeping file size under 150K is highly recommended. As with any online endeavor, smaller file size also means faster download speed for users - a worthy metric in its own right.
- Downtime & Server Speed - The performance of your site's server may have an adverse impact on search rankings and visitors if downtime and slow transfer speeds are common. Invest in high quality hosting to prevent this issue.
URLs, Title Tags & Meta Data
URLs, title tags and meta tag components are all information that describe your site and page to visitors and search engines. Keeping them relevant, compelling and accurate are key to ranking well. You can also use these areas as launching points for your keywords, and indeed, successful rankings require their use.
The URL of a document should ideally be as descriptive and brief as possible. If, for example, your site's structure has several levels of files and navigation, the URL should reflect this with folders and subfolders. Individual pages' URLs should also be descriptive without being overly lengthy, so that a visitor who sees only the URL could have a good idea of what to expect on the page.
Search-Friendly Text
Making the visible text on a page "search-friendly" isn't complicated, but it is an issue that many sites struggle with. Text styles that cannot be indexed by search engines include:
- Text embedded in a Java Application or Macromedia Flash file
- Text in an image file - jpg, gif, png, etc
- Text accessible only via a form submit or other on-page action
If the search engines can't see your page's text, they cannot spider and index that content for visitors to find. Thus, making search-friendly text in HTML format is critical to ranking well and getting properly indexed. If you are forced to use a format that hides text from search engines, try to use the right keywords and phrases in headlines, title tags, URLs, and image/file names on the page. Don't go overboard with this tactic, and never try to hide text (by making it the same color as the background or using CSS tricks). Even if the search engines can't detect this automatically, a competitor can easily report your site for spamming and have you de-listed entirely.
Along with making text visible, it's important to remember that search engines measure the terms and phrases in a document to extract a great deal of information about the page. Writing well for search engines is both an art and a science (as SEOs are not privy to the exact, technical methodology of how search engines score text for rankings), and one that can be harnessed to achieve better rankings.
In general, the following are basic rules that apply to optimizing on-page text for search rankings:
- Make the primary term/phrase prominent in the document - Measurements like keyword density are useless (see kw density myth thread), but general frequency can help rankings.
- Make the text on-topic and high quality - Search engines use sophisticated lexical analysis to help find quality pages, as well as teams of researchers identifying common elements in high quality writing. Thus, great writing can provide benefits to rankings, as well as visitors.
- Use an optimized document structure - The best practice is generally to follow a journalistic format wherein the document starts with a description of the content, then flows from broad discussion of the subject to narrow. The benefits of this are arguable, but in addition to SEO value, they provide the most readable and engaging informational document. Obviously, in situations where this would be inappropriate, it's not necessary.
- Keep text together - Many folks in SEO recommend using CSS rather than table layouts in order to keep the text flow of the document together and prevent the breaking up of text via coding. This can also be achieved with tables - simply make sure that text sections (content, ads, navigation, etc.) flow together inside a single table or row and don't have too many "nested" tables that make for broken sentences and paragraphs.
Keep in mind that the text layout and keyword usage in a document no longer carries high importance in search engine rankings. While the right structure and usage can provide a slight boost, obsessing over keyword placement or layout will provide little overall benefit.
Information Architecture
The document and link structure of a website can provide benefits to search rankings when performed properly. The keys to effective architecture are to follow the rules that govern human usability of a site:
- Make Use of a Sitemap - It's wise to have the sitemap page linked to from every other page in the site, or at the least from important high-level category pages and the home page. The sitemap should, ideally, offer links to all of the site's internal pages. However, if more than 100-150 pages exist on the site, a wiser system is to create a sitemap that will link to all of the category level pages, so that no page in a site is more than 2 clicks from the home page. For exceptionally large sites, this rule can be expanded to 3 clicks from the home page.
- Use a Category Structure that Flows from Broad > Narrow - Start with the broadest topics as hierarchical category pages, then expand to deep pages with specific topics. Using the most on-topic structure tells search engines that your site is highly relevant and covers a topic in-depth.
Canonical Issues & Duplicate Content
One of the most common and problematic issues for website builders, particularly those with larger, dynamic sites powered by databases, is the issue of duplicate content. Search engines are primarily interested in unique documents and text, and when they find multiple instances of the same content, they are likely to select a single one as "canonical" and display that page in their results.
If your site has multiple pages with the same content, either through a content management system that creates duplicates through separate navigation, or because copies exist from multiple versions, you may be hurting those pages' chances of ranking in the SERPs. In addition, the value that comes from anchor text and link weight, through both internal and external links to the page, will be diluted by multiple versions. |

SEO Specification with Images
The Keyword in the name of the image when naming an image the use of the keyword in the image name is beneficial. This can be helpful for image searches on an engine, as well as to help the engines to understand the idea that an image may be trying to provide and it may provide a better understanding of the pages overall theme. So, pirates-caribbean-dead-mans-skull.jpg would be an improvement if the old file name was skull.jpg. (No, .gif or .jpg does not matter, so use the image format that makes sense for your image.)
Place the image caption next to the image Place a caption next to the image, with the keyword in close proximity to the image on the site.
Place the keyword in the text content that surrounds the image If the image is placed in the body, and surrounded by text content having the keyword physically close to the image will also have benefits.
Use Alt tags The use of Alt tags as part of the site design is important. While it is postulated by many SEOs that search engines rarely use Alt tags purely for ranking purposes, many agree that it more likely that Alt tags are used by search engines to gain a better understanding of a page’s target keywords or theme.
Use Keywords in anchor text Anchor text is the visible text that is displayed as part of the url, this is often referred as link text as well. An example of anchor or link text is contained in a link back to this article using text like this SEO for Images, which is preferred over non generic. While these 6 ideas are important parts of site optimization for images, the first one is very important for over all website optimization. Whenever possible the design of a site should include text content for the engines to digest. Even the use of buttons can be improved by positioning the keyword as part of the anchor text over the buttons image using cascading style sheets.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image.

1. How Search Engines Work
The term "search engine" is often used generically to describe both crawler-based search engines and human-powered directories. These two types of search engines gather their listings in radically different ways.
Crawler-Based Search Engines
Crawler-based search engines, such as Google, create their listings automatically. They "crawl" or "spider" the web, then people search through what they have found.
If you change your web pages, crawler-based search engines eventually find these changes, and that can affect how you are listed. Page titles, body copy and other elements all play a role.
Human-Powered Directories
A human-powered directory, such as the Open Directory, depends on humans for its listings. You submit a short description to the directory for your entire site, or editors write one for sites they review. A search looks for matches only in the descriptions submitted.
Changing your web pages has no effect on your listing. Things that are useful for improving a listing with a search engine have nothing to do with improving a listing in a directory. The only exception is that a good site, with good content, might be more likely to get reviewed for free than a poor site.
Search engines have a short list of critical operations that allows them to provide relevant web results when searchers use their system to find information.
- Crawling the Web
Search engines run automated programs, called "bots" or "spiders", that use the hyperlink structure of the web to "crawl" the pages and documents that make up the World Wide Web. Estimates are that of the approximately 20 billion existing pages, search engines have crawled between 8 and 10 billion.
- Indexing Documents
Once a page has been crawled, its contents can be "indexed" - stored in a giant database of documents that makes up a search engine's "index". This index needs to be tightly managed so that requests which must search and sort billions of documents can be completed in fractions of a second.
- Processing Queries
When a request for information comes into the search engine (hundreds of millions do each day), the engine retrieves from its index all the document that match the query. A match is determined if the terms or phrase is found on the page in the manner specified by the user.
- Ranking Results
Once the search engine has determined which results are a match for the query, the engine's algorithm (a mathematical equation commonly used for sorting) runs calculations on each of the results to determine which is most relevant to the given query. They sort these on the results pages in order from most relevant to least so that users can make a choice about which to select.
1. Speed Bumps & Walls
Certain types of navigation may hinder or entirely prevent search engines from reaching your website's content. As search engine spiders crawl the web, they rely on the architecture of hyperlinks to find new documents and revisit those that may have changed.
In the analogy of speed bumps and walls, complex links and deep site structures with little unique content may serve as "bumps." Data that cannot be accessed by spiderable links qualify as "walls."
Possible "Speed Bumps" for SE Spiders:
- URLs with 2+ dynamic parameters; i.e. http://www.url.com/page.php?id=4&CK=34rr&User=%Tom% (spiders may be reluctant to crawl complex URLs like this because they often result in errors with non-human visitors)
- Pages with more than 100 unique links to other pages on the site
- Pages buried more than 3 clicks/links from the home page of a website
- Pages requiring a "Session ID" or Cookie to enable navigation
- Pages that are split into "frames" can hinder crawling and cause confusion about which pages to rank in the results.
Possible "Walls" for SE Spiders:
- Pages accessible only via a select form and submit button
- Pages requiring a drop down menu (HTML attribute) to access them
- Documents accessible only via a search box
- Documents blocked purposefully (via a robots meta tag or robots.txt file
- Pages requiring a login
- Pages that re-direct before showing content (search engines call this cloaking or bait-and-switch and may actually ban sites that use this tactic)
2. Measuring Relevance and Popularity
Relevance - the degree to which the content of the documents returned in a search matched the user's query intention and terms. The relevance of a document increases if the terms or phrase queried by the user occurs multiple times and shows up in the title of the work or in important headlines or subheaders.
Popularity - the relative importance, measured via citation (the act of one work referencing another, as often occurs in academic and business documents) of a given document that matches the user's query. The popularity of a given document increases with every other document that references it.
In document analysis, search engines look at whether the search terms are found in important areas of the document - the title, the meta data, the heading tags, and the body of text content. They also attempt to automatically measure the quality of the document.
In link analysis, search engines measure not only who is linking to a site or page, but what they are saying about that page/site. They also have a good grasp on who is affiliated with whom (through historical link data, the site's registration records, and other sources), who is worthy of being trusted (links from .edu and .gov pages are generally more valuable for this reason), and contextual data about the site the page is hosted on (who links to that site, what they say about the site, etc.).
Link and document analysis combine and overlap hundreds of factors that can be individually measured and filtered through the search engine algorithms (the set of instructions that tells the engines what importance to assign to each factor).
3. Information Search Engines Can Trust
As search engines index the web's link structure and page contents, they find two distinct kinds of information about a given site or page –
A. Attributes of the page/site itself and
B. Descriptives about that site/page from other pages.
The theory goes that if hundreds or thousands of other websites link to you, your site must be popular, and thus, have value. If those links come from very popular and important (and thus, trustworthy) websites, their power is multiplied to even greater degrees.
If, on the other hand, the links that point to you are from low-quality, interlinked sites or automated garbage domains (aka link farms), search engines have systems in place to discount the value of those links
Here's a small list of the most important factors search engines look at when attempting to value a link:
The Anchor Text of Link
Global Popularity of the Site
Popularity of Site in Relevant Communities
Text Directly Surrounding the Link –
Subject Matter of the Linking Page
The Anatomy of a HyperLink
Best Practice for creating Hyperlinks:
· Pay attention to the text of a link
· Don’t use scripted links
· Try to avoid “Dynamic” links
Building up the internal links in your site
This should not be over-looked. A well linked site is easier to use, and much easier for spiders to determine what the key information in the site is.
1. Cross-reference sensibly
If you have a well-planned and well-organised web site with pertinant information then it makes sense to cross-reference.
2. Use a site map
A site map gives a spider a good overview of all the content on the site allowing both spiders and human users to see what is going on. Google recommends that a site map should not be more than 100 entries long - if it is then consider splitting it up.
3. Don’t over-do it
If you add too many links the page becomes unreadable, both for a human and a spider. You will run the risk of being interpretted as spam.
Best Practices for Images.
The Keyword in the name of the image When naming an image the use of the keyword in the image name is beneficial. This can be helpful for image searches on an engine, as well as to help the engines to understand the idea that an image may be trying to provide
Place the image caption next to the image Place a caption next to the image, with the keyword in close proximity to the image on the site.
Place the keyword in the text content that surrounds the image If the image is placed in the body, and surrounded by text content having the keyword physically close to the image will also have benefits.
Use Alt tags The use of Alt tags as part of the site design is important. While it is postulated by many SEOs that search engines rarely use Alt tags purely for ranking purposes, many agree that it more likely that Alt tags are used by search engines to gain a better understanding of a page’s target keywords or theme.
Use Keywords in anchor text Anchor text is the visible text that is displayed as part of the url, this is often referred as link text as well. An example of anchor or link text is contained in a link back to this article using text like this SEO for Images, which is preferred over non generic, non-SEO link text like a click here text link.

Getting listed in Google Local Search ensures brand visibility in front of visitors from the nearby places. It has been proven that the number of visitors to a website increase exponentially when listed in local search results. The reason being, a customer will always prefer to purchase a quality product which is easily available in his or her vicinity rather than order it from another unfamiliar city or state. 3.
