Website Development - SEO

Search Engine Optimization is the process where you can make your website better in terms of ranking in search engines. The majority of web traffic is driven by major commercial search engines, Google, Bing and Yahoo!. Although social media and other types of traffic can generate visits to your website, search engines are the primary method of navigation for most of the Internet users. This is a fact whether your site provides content, services, products, information or just about anything else.

To optimize your webpage ranking, you should know what search engines look at −

  • Content − It is determined by the theme that is being given, the text on the page, the titles and the descriptions that are given.

  • Performance − Your webpage should be fast (no delays). We have discussed it in the previous chapter named – Speed up your website.

  • Authority − Your website should have good content to link to or for other authoritative sites to use your website as a reference or cite the information that is available.

  • User Experience − Your webpage should be safe to navigate, no harmful softwares uploaded.

  • Keyword Stuffing − Do not overuse the keywords on your pages.

  • Purchased Links − Do not use too many buying links.
