Perfect SEO

There always seems to be confusion with regards to the perfect SEO recipe which can enable your websites to reach top search engine positions but as an SEO expert I would like to tell you that there is no perfect recipes for making your website stand out from others. SEO is all a matter of hit and trial and it’s only on the basis of continuous experimentation that we can achieve positive result.

I have just found out a perfect SEO recipe on basis of my continuous research and experimentation over the years which I would like to share with you all. It gave me positive results and I hope it earns you similar results too. Here they are:

Keyword Selection

This is the first and most important SEO strategy. Keywords are the starting and ending point for any website to succeed. Try searching some intelligent keywords i.e. keywords with high traffic and low competition. You could use some of the free keyword suggestion tools to get a fair bit of idea about what all keywords you could use for creating your website.

Website Design

The design of your website is pertinent with respect to your SEO game plan. Try and use a table less design as it will be easy for the spider to index it. Try and keep coding to the bare minimum by using CSS or your website might get heavy. Avoid flash as spiders of major engines cannot read JavaScript.

Meta Tags

Meta tags are again an important SEO strategy from the viewpoint of search engines and your visitors. Meta tags are HTML elements which are used for offering structured metadata about a webpage. Meta tags enable search engines to know what your website is all about and enable them to rank it as per their importance. Meta title and Meta description still hold importance but Meta keywords seem to have lost importance among search engines due to spamming. Just don’t over stuff your Meta tags as they could attract penalty from search engines. Keep within limits and your Meta tags would not only help your website to rank well but even enable your visitors to get a fair amount of idea about what your website is all about.

Content

You must have heard in SEO that content is the king? Haven’t you? Always write original content with appropriate sprinkling of your keywords in between. Maintain a decent keyword density of 4-6% so that your website doesn’t get categorized under spamming. Content should be original, have appropriate keyword density and above all interesting which would enable your visitors to come back for more. One more thing don’t use copied content as programming software are pretty smart these days and duplicate content would get caught within a split second and get penalized too therefore act straight or get ready to face the consequences.

Link Building

Getting high quality backlinks is of utmost importance and if you can get the same then your website will surely climb up the charts of search engine. Getting quality links from website of repute with good page rank and age will fetch you better rankings. Also try using anchor text as much as possible as this will ensure that you rank better in the search engine within a short period of time.
Start off with these SEO ingredients and your final recipe will turn out to be near perfect.
