When attempting to develop your web site one thing you can do to improve its SEO properties is to create exciting and catchy title tags for every page. The search engines look out for these distinct title tags. It is should be different than the other pages that post similar material. A title tag should describe the content of your website and it needs to contain multiple keywords that will help the users navigate to your site. The major search engines only display a certain amount of letters on their results pages regarding your title tag so you need to make sure that it is eye catching and relevant to the target users.

You can also try to make a more evocative and eye catching URL to help your webpage. For instance, if your website is about dolls then your website could be called doll-mania.hml. You will want to have a more creative name than just using dollpage.html which is broad and too boring. This will help out the search engines because they need more definite descriptions about what you are plugging in your site in order to make it useful for those searching for that type of content. If your URL is too indistinct and the page name is puzzling it will be difficult for the person to be interested let alone remember your title. This will encourage users to return to your site. The better the URL is, the more search engine hits you can receive later on. This will be truly beneficial to your website in the long run, especially if you want your website to be around for a while.

You can also get more material descriptions on your title tags by using meta description tags. These give the major search engines a synopsis of what your host site is about. This will give you a larger space to include more characters and you can fit in the tag all the keywords you are trying to input on the search results page. Be sure to have a proper description of what content is on your page; you can display this on the description tag itself. Some of the more advanced search engines use the meta description tags to provide views and sneak peaks of the site for the viewers using their services. You should do this because it gives your page relevance when certain people are searching for key phrases that match your description tag.

Lets say you own a comic book store in Phoenix, Arizona and thats the phrase you want to be found with. Now lets trim that down and make the keyword phrase “Comic book store Phoenix”.

Video Title

Your video title needs to have your main keywords first, “Comic book store Phoenix”

Video Description

We have noticed it helps in google organic to start your description off with the URL to your website. After the URL, start with your main keywords first, then write a couple sentences about your store. It can even be pretty generic. Example:

http://www. mycomicbookstoreurlhere.com Looking for a Comic book store in Phoenix, Arizona? Come check out My store name here, we have everything from classic and rare comic books to new age comic books.

Video Tags

Treat these just like meta keywords, use short and long tail keywords and phrases. I usually try not to add more than 5 or 6 - keep it focused in one area. Example:

“comic book store phoenix”, “comic books”, “phoenix comic books”, “phoenix”, “arizona”

Video Response/Comments

You can go one step further and video comment on other relevant videos, which will help you get more traffic and exposure to your video, boosting your rank also.

So now your new video is optimized pretty good to show up highly in the youtube/vimeo/etc search engines, BUT also on Google itself! Your video will have a good search ranking in both Google video search results and depending on the search phrase your video can show up on the organic section of Google.

Everyone knows by now how much backlinks can effect your page rank an SERP. A heap of quality and natural backlinks with good anchor text is by far one of the best things you can do on your SEO checklist.

But did you know that internal linking can be just as effective? Well…not as much but it can significantly improve your SERP if done right. Just as in backlinking you want to make it seam natural, keeping the keyword strings flowing nice with the content and do so in moderation. Dont set a hyperlink to every other word, keep it to just a few relative keywords per article.

“But I am already linking to my pages in my navigation bar.” Exactly, your linking to your pages in your navigation or footer is not enough. Google believes that a good link with anchor text in an article is better than a single link at the top of your page.

When chosing your SEO company, or attempting search engine optimization yourself, you need to have a good balance of internal links aswell as backlinks.

When marketing your company online and starting your SEO campaign, it is very important to keep all of your techniques ethical. Everything from on site search engine optimization to link building and article marketing needs to be done with care.
