SEO Tips and Advice – White Hat SEO Techniques to Boost Your Website’s Traffic
What good does it really do for you to have a great looking and well developed website, if nobody ever visits it? The short answer, of course, is not much. If you want to be proactive about the situation, and have the technical skills to do so, you should educate yourself on the basics of white hat search engine optimization strategies. In doing so, you will be taking the first steps along the path to enabling your investment (website) to start “paying off” as your organic search results improve.
Implementing basic white hat SEO strategies on your web site will cause it to be recognized by the search engines. Once the major search engines (Google, Yahoo & Bing) recognize your site, you will begin to rank for the keywords you have targeted as the foundation of your optimization program. Having great “keyword rich” content/links and clearly defined goals that are easily accessible within a user friendly interface, will allow the website to begin ranking well for these terms. A big part of how well you will ultimately rank depends on how competitive those particular keywords are. Furthermore, not all keywords are created equal. Knowing exactly which keywords to target for building your website’s content around is extremely important and should not be taken lightly. *The more comprehensive your keyword research efforts are, the more likely you are to experience positive search engine results in response to your SEO endeavors.
Here is a short list of White Hat SEO Techniques (in no particular order) that should help your site to rank better in the SERPs:
Having keyword rich Meta Tag Elements – Page Titles | Page Descriptions | Keywords (still used in some algorithms)
Having keyword rich and unique page content (information)
Having keyword rich incoming text links to your site from other sites
Internal keyword based text links (or image links with Alt Text) built into your site structure leading to the different pages within your website that the search engines can follow
Having dynamic pages (keyword rich updates to site content as needed) that are search engine spider friendly as well
Be sure to include a formatted xml file with site map on your web server if you want to enable search engine spiders/crawlers to find out what pages are currently present, which have recently been updated, and also to “crawl” your site as needed.
