In the SEO arena,people are hell bent on impressing the boss of all SE's.Be it in terms of backlinks,PR,listings or SERP'S (Search Engine Ranking Positions).But then not all succeed.The reason Google is not another ordinary Search Engine.Every time it crawls to cache your page or to update PR and backlinks it changes it's algorithms leaving one and all confused.So in this particular article lets discuss some basics that one has to follow to get indexed and rank well in Google.

A]Let's start with a website that is fresh,completely new and has just got it's w3c certification done.How are you going to get it indexed by Google so that it cache's your content on a regular update.There has always been countless discussions by people regarding this particular topic,yet the problem hasn't faded away.The concept isn't still clear to all.So I just felt to put in three simple steps that would help out the newbies with their websites.

1)First, make sure that your web site mentions the phrases you would reasonably expect an interested party to search for, as regular text in your HTML, not as a picture of text.

2)Submitting your site to Google is not recommended at all and considered a flaw in SEO because this way you are actually telling Google yourself that your site is "new" on the internet.Remember, Google is not just another search engine. Instead it's based on a lot more complex and "logical" algorithm.

*-The Mistake that people basically do is adding the website to Google using their Add URL page.

3)Ask the webmasters of related web pages and sites to link to your pages, and encourage your readers to link to your site. This will bring people in directly, and it will also allow search engines like Google to find you.

B]Now once you get going you would obviously want to feature in the Good Books of Google so that every time it's spiders crawls it caches your page.To get it done on a consistent basis you have got to understand the modus of search operandi of the spiders.Google Results are based on 4 major criteria

1)Keyword density
The density of keyword affects the ranking of your page. The higher the keyword density the higher is your rank so one should always include a 30-40 word paragraph containing key-word rich content, thus increasing the keyword density.

2)Keyword prominence
The keywords you have chosen should appear in title, Meta and H tags with some occurrence in the body also. So you should not define Google without putting the word Google in the body of the definition. This means H and P tags should go hand shaking with each other.

3)Page rank and back links
The more site links to your site better is the page rank of your site and more relevant your site is. Google also takes into consideration the words [or Anchor text] that appear in your back links
Code:
<A> Click Here</A> is less relevant than
<A> Example of Google</A>


4)Content
Some say that the Content of your site is the king, but for me it?s actually the crown which the webmaster wears if his site has the right content. Build the content and users will be interested just be reading it.

Once you successfully optimize for Google there would be one final frontier that you would have to conquer for making your website a grand success and that is traffic.Once that is achieved your website will start featuring in the front page of Google for the keywords you have and hence start getting more traffic and visitors.Here are some simple steps follow them and simply implement them when you do the seo for your website.


1) Insert keywords at right place on your meta tags.
2) Name your Images with Descriptive Titles and alt text.
3) Use relevant text on your website.
4) Use Ad sense to assess overall content relevance.
5) Optimize Your Title and Meta tags.
6) Use anchor text keywords in links.
7) Submit your website to search engines and directories.
8) Content updates
9) Internal Linking Structure
10) Link Building { One Way , Two Way and three way }
11) Article Posting
12) Press Releases
13) Forums Postings
14) Advertising
15) Google Site map Creation and setup
16) Blogs creation
17) Make some videos and submit them to the larger video sharing sites like Youtube.
18) Take part in social bookmark sites. These can get some good quick traffic (don't spam).
19) Pay for direct advertising on sites that are on the same subject as yours.
20) Take part in PPC advertising including Google Adwords, Yahoo Search Marketing and Microsoft adcenter and etc..
21) Make an affiliate program for your website
22) Do viral marketing by producing something with your sites link attached.
23) Include your sites link in the signature of any emails that you send to people.
24) Produce some business cards and get them distributed.
25) Mention your website to your friends and family and ask them to pass it on to others (Word of mouth advertising).

So coming to the end of the article I sum it up as my experience.I am into this game since the last year and I feel it is better to learn the game instead of being taught about it.Go ahead try the steps that I have mentioned.I doubt anybody would be unsuccessful.I wouldn't say I have mastered the field of SEO.but I have gained considerably by following these steps AND
ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING-PATIENCE.Without which, you will fail miserably.
 
Thank you marketraise001::)

I have been looking for someone to tell me in better detail how to rank better in the Search Engines. I have blogged to others about this and it just seemed that they were trying to dance around it. Finaly I found someone that put it into layman terms. Thanks for the increase knowledge.
 
Very good - I liked it.

It's one of those lists that jump out at you and it's like - oh yeah - I knew about it, but I really should DO it.

Thanks for the post.
 
Thanks for listing the steps in 1-2-3 manner. It makes it so much more understandable and possible :)
 
I agree with multiple points from your post BUT this is completely wrong:
"*-The Mistake that people basically do is adding the website to Google using their Add URL page."

You should use EVERY possible way how to inform google about new content to get indexed faster.
The best is to create sitemap xml file of your website and submit it to google webmaster tools - you will be indexed within hour and your visitors will be able to find you.

Don't be fool and don't hide your content from Google - it will not help you, if google will index you through link of any other website !

On 6th November I was at Google Developers Day in Prague and exactly about this spoked Google developer in his presentation.
There is about 200 parameters they monitor about each website and they play with weight of parameters periodically.
 
I never used Google add url to sent in new pages. My opinion is to not use the Google add url, this is why you should have an xml sitemap that you should update often when you add new pages. This is what you submit to google. All pages will eventually be found when you create a sitemap and submit it. In order to get indexed faster, all you need to do is get added on a site that gets crawled often.
 
I don't think using the Google add url is a bad thing, I just don't ever do it because it's not necessary. By submitting my sitemap, rss feed, and some quality content google bot does the rest on it's on.
 
Excellent post! I read somewhere that Google every day something changes in its algorithm so that we must pay attention to every detail. Thanks for your advice.
 
Great tips. Making videos - either some kind of a manual or reviews of the products you represent is definitely a useful idea. I have seen many websites doing just that - some create a simple what-can-you-find-on-our-website video and post it on youtube and similar.
 
Great post. I always find it funny when you see the 'Guru's' telling you that SEO is such a difficult task, when in reality its probably one of the easier aspects if you do your research. Which is probably where most people fail.
 
In paragraph 3 of the original post -- what is w3c certification?

That's a misnomer - it should be "W3C validation". See The W3C Markup Validation Service

W3C stands for "World Wide Web Consortium" (i.e., 3 W's plus a C -> W3C), an organization that proposes web standards. While purists insist on rigid adherence to W3C proposals (often called "standards", another misnomer), the blunt reality is that as long as you avoid errors in HTML and CSS search engines do not care about W3C standards or validation and it does not affect your search engine rankings.

Another glaring error in the original post for this thread:

1)Keyword density
The density of keyword affects the ranking of your page. The higher the keyword density the higher is your rank so one should always include a 30-40 word paragraph containing key-word rich content, thus increasing the keyword density.

Absolutely not true. What you do need is
  • include primary search terms in the (unique) page title
  • repeat those search terms at least once (or twice) in the visible page content
  • if possibgle, use those terms as anchor text in at least some of your incoming links
