Leveraging Your Links

maxweaver — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 01:03:45 +0000

Are you leveraging your links on pages of your website?

Sites that are linked to from lots of other sites are regularly deemed more popular and therefore get a much higher ranking in search engine results. More important than the number of links though is the quality of those incoming links. Contacting the owners of Web sites that score highly for key phrases related to your content and asking them if they will provide a link back to your site isn’t a bad idea.

Content within your own website should also be correctly linked together so that search engine web crawlers can follow links within your own website. If you don’t provide working links to all your pages, some of your content may not get indexed….and that’s not good.

Overriding CSS styles in HTML

Did you know can override the CSS styles in HTML?

Perhaps you have a particular border that you’ve set in your CSS so that all images have this border. But you’d like to insert an image that you don’t want to have boxed in by the boarder. How do you do it?

style=”border:0″

Inserting that into the HTML of your page after the img tag will override the CSS style that usual style for image borders is not applied.

So the full line would be:

img src=”IMAGE LOCATION” style=”border:0″

This method can be applied to any style to override the style setting in the CSS.

Google Analytics: Bounce Rate

maxweaver — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:36:47 +0000

Are you using Google Analytics?

Do you understand what looking at the Bounce Rate can do to help you improve your website?

Look at the top 20-30 entry pages and look at the bounce rate for those pages. How are people entering your site? So you have a nice low bounce rate for your Home Page….but what about the other pages ?

Measure your Bounce Rate on the following:

1. At a site level
2. On core acquisition strategies
3. On top entry pages
4. And if you are paying for Adwords then you should look at what the Bounce Rate is of your Landing pages.

Ten SEO Techniques

maxweaver — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 00:25:56 +0000

Ten things that you can do to to your website that will increase your Search Engine Optimisation (SEO):

1. Make all of your links absolute, remove secondary keywords that are NOT RELEVANT.

2. Cap all out-bound links (links leaving the page to no more than 10 per page) or create a new page to keep the focus laser-like.

3. Optimize your anchor text (the text in the link). Make sure your main keyword/phrase is on the page (at least one time) as well as in the title.

4. Don’t try to optimize a page for more than 3 terms / keywords.

5. Use contextual links in the content, the higher on the page the better as links higher in the page are known to carry more weight in search engines vs. footer links.

6. Keep your pages lean 20k or less (optimization also means loading time), this includes images and code bloat.

7. Optimize your in-line code. Keep all of your java script and other programming code off page (in their own respective files and hyper-linked to the page like a style sheet).

8. Hone the focus of the page – Make sure your main keyword appears at least 2-4 times on the page and once in the h1 and a slight variation in an H2 tag.

9. Augment your pages through the buddy system – Have at least 5 of your strongest pages concentrating their collective internal link-juice towards your newest rock star page (the page you wish to elevate and send forth as your messenger in the SERPs).

10. Clean out pages that are off topic, rewrite them for present-tense relevance or remove all but a few links, rewrite the titles (65 characters or less) and the descriptions (2 sentences tops using the keywords only one time each) then republish the page and wait for the spiders to re-index your content. From there you can start building links to gain more elevation in the SERPs.
