Search engine optimization tips for beginners
Getting a website in top is a thing that every webmaster would love to achieve. Achieving top rankings for your favorable keywords is not a very difficult task but its hard to decide from where to start with and it may land you it totally different part of the globe if you doesn’t follow the webmaster guidelines set by major search engines for webmasters and search engines optimization experts or companies. In this article I am posting few search engine optimization tips for beginners but these tips are equally beneficial for any SEO professional.
1. Don’t purchase new domains: If you are trying to get your website ranked in engines and so far you don’t have any substantial success, then don’t try to go and try your luck in new domain. Reason here is that search engine give value to the age of the domain and hence it’s recommended to try figuring out things that may be hurting your website’s reputation over search engines. However there may be circumstances when you may need to start new domain under such situation using permanent redirect to your new domain is recommended to minimize the loss of traffic from search engines.
2. Do extensive keyword research: Spend good amount of time in keyword research and go in as much detail as you can while researching keywords. Don’t select keywords that can bring traffic but brainstorm keywords that can bring you sales. Over years of experience in search engine marketing I have seen that lots of keywords bring you traffic but there are couple of keywords that can bring business, revenue for you. Thus analyze your website traffic to shortlist the keywords that bring you business. Ranking at the top of search engines for these keywords make the actual difference.
3. Use different title and meta tags: Each page of your website needs to have unique title and meta description tags. Your title tag should contain important keywords included in the content of your web pages. One more important point to be taken care is that it’s the title tag of a webpage that will prompt any visitors to click your website at search engine result pages.
4. Don’t over optimize: Never optimize your website rather optimize for your targeted audience. This is one of the common instructions by all major search engines for webmasters.
5. Write Search engine friendly code: Make you website code search engine friendly by preventing excessive use of images, flash, java script menus or links. Use alt and title attributes and images and links. Validate your website HTML, XML and CSS.
6. Use webmaster tools: Evaluate your SEO campaign by using tools like google analytics, webmaster central, yahoo site explorer etc. These tools are very much helpful for webmasters in their SEO campaigns.
7. Get quality links: All of us know off-page optimization is very crucial part of any SEO campaign however only quality links count and contribute to your website’s PR and search engine rankings. Any off-page activity, be it link building, social media marketing, directory submission etc. take care of quality always.

Selection of keywords
Keywords play an important role in the seo marketing campaign of a website be it organic search engine optimization or pay per click campaign. Until and unless you are using the right keywords you are wasting your efforts in organic SEO and both efforts and money in PPC campaigns. So keywords research or selection of keywords is very much important task of any search engine marketing campaign. Its not the search count of the keywords that will help you compile the list of keywords however there are certain more things that need to be taken care for shortlisting keywords i.e. keyword popularity, keyword ROI factor, keyword proximity etc. Also you should keep on changing your website keywords according your business requirements.
Once initial keyword research is done try to add other keywords around those keywords like synonyms, long trail keywords, singular or plural combination etc. Targets these keywords carefully in your page meta and title tags and in your ad copies. With the progress of your camapign you would be able to further shortlist converting keywords by analyzing your web stats.

SEO Basics Search Engine Optimization Made Easy
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the art and science of publishing and marketing information that ranks well for valuable keywords in search engines like Google, Yahoo! Search, and Microsoft Live Search. If you run into any new jargon while reading this Knol consider looking up their definitions using the Search Engine Marketing Glossary.
Search engines only show 10 results on the first page, and most searchers tend to click on the top few results. If you rank at the top business is good, but if you are on the second or third page you might only get 1% of the search traffic that the top ranked site gets.
The 2 most powerful aspects of search engine marketing are
- users type what they want to find into search boxes, making search engines the most precisely targeted marketing medium in the history of the world
- once you gain traction in the search results the incremental costs of gaining additional exposure are negligible when compared with the potential rewards, allowing individuals and small businesses to compete with (and perhaps eventually become) large corporations
While many people consider SEO to be complicated, I believe that SEO is nothing but an extension of traditional marketing. Search engine optimization consists of 9 main steps
- market research
- keyword research
- on page optimization
- site structure
- link building
- brand building
- viral marketing
- adjusting
- staying up to date

Reason for traffic drops
Google official blog made an interesting post on the possible reasons fro drop in the traffic of a website. There were some interesting things mentioned which most search engine marketing experts may think be the cause for traffic dip.
First issue discussed is duplicate content, the post says unless the duplicate content is being used to manipulate search engine rankings its not be flagged as violation of google terms and webmaster guidelines. Using affiliate links be the reason for traffic drop was also completely denied.
However interesting post was made regarding the site publishing malicious software code, code injection and reported attack website message. If your website contain such malicious code then be prepared for a sudden and huge dip in your website traffic. But no need to worry you may grt rid of such situation easily by following instructions at google webmaster central

Alexa ranking myth simplified
My previous posts were related to Alexa but not really were about what alexa ranking is all about. In the earlier post SEOv Blog @ Alexa I mentioned about my SEOv blogs ranking at Alexa and in the post Alexa widget not supportedI simply put the screen shot of Alexa graph. Here in this post i will share what alexa ranking is all about and how can webmasters improve there sites alexa rankings.
Alexa.com is a website from Amazon.com that collect information about the websites and rank them according to the traffic of the websites. The major point here is that traffic is determined of the people who have installed alexa toolbar only so the ranking is only of the internet users who have installed Alexa toolbar in their web browser. However Alexa still remains one of the greatest parameter for the authority of any website, better the alexa ranking better is the site. Many organization still has Alexa rank as qualifying parameter for placing ads, buying links and or hiring the services you offer.
That was all about the importance on alexa rankings will post on how to improve alexa rankings later.

Image Search - Dilemma of optimizing images
Lots of SEO companies include image promotion in there SEO proposals and services list, but it seems that not each company actually cares about image search and also clients hardly ask or check if there site appears for any image search result pages. I strongly believe that you can get a good bunch of traffic from image search results. Reasons are lot and only one thing to support is that it won't harm you unless you want to protect your images and that an be easily done through robots file exclusion.
As I was thinking about image promotion I just searched in google images about google (See results). To my surprise there was no Google.com in the results. In fact you would be more surprised to know that google didn't appeared in first 10 pages for its own search on its own search engine.
Same was the case when search term Yahoo and MSN was used over google image search.
TO go further in this research I now tried to Yahoo image search. Yahoo also disappointed as same results n google, yahoo or MSN site was found in the image results for their own search terms.
Then I thought to skip search on MSN but a short coffee break gave me the energy to check msn image search also and finish this post at SEOV blog. Results were MSN were also the same. Luckily I get google images as referral. It don't show the keywords but I am happy my blogs and sites are appearing somewhere in image search results.

SEO Smart Links - Interlinking your blog can be the key to getting more people to read more of your posts, but it is time consuming and tedious to do it by hand. SEO Smart Links does this for you automatically when you tell it what words to link to what URLs, and it also allows you to set “nofollow” and “open in window” comands for the links.
SEO Tag Cloud Widget - Love ‘em or hate ‘em, a lot of people use tag clouds on their blogs. Since their inception they have been fairly unreadable by search engines, but with this plugin they will be converted to an SEO-friendly HTML markup that can be indexed.
SEO Title Tag - Your tags are an important part of your site for making sure that search engines know where to place your posts, and SEO Title Tag focuses exclusively on this. Unlike some other plugins, and WordPress itself, this extension will allow you to add tags to your pages, your main page and even any URL anywhere on your site.
Simple Tags - An extremely popular plugin that focuses on helping you choose the best tags for your posts by offering suggestions, auto-completion of tags as you type, an AJAX admin interface, mass tag editing and a whole lot more.
Sitemap Generator - This is a more customizable sitemap generator than most with options to support multi-level categories and pages, category/page exclusion, permalink support, choices on what to display, options to show number of comments and more.
TGFI.net SEO Wordpress Plugin - This particular plugin will do most of the usual SEO work of optimizing titles and keywords, but it adds a unique twist as it is mainly directed at people who use WordPress as a CMS.

SEO in 2009
Predicted how SEO is goin to be in 2009.
Google more matured and more recent PR and algorithm updates from google. Don't be surprised if you see monthly updates by google.
Little or no penalization: Pagerank penalties, link penalties etc are more hyped in the industry as i have hardly seen websites being penalized by search engines.
More emphasize on personalized search
More investment in SEO both organic and inorganic
Ranking is not dead but SEO will be more focused on conversion rather than mere rankings.
More SPAM as where there money online there's SPAM
Social media becoming more popular
