Search Engine Optimization Techniques
Here is a brief list of very important ways to improve your website’s traffic and statistics. In this article I will briefly talk about ways to improve your very own website’s popularity or traffic.
1) Meta Tags – Meta tags are used to provide structured metadata about a Web page, such as who the designer is or a brief description of what the website is about. The most common used tags are author, description, keywords & copyright. The Meta tags are inserted in the back end of your website (HTML coded). Here are some examples of what meta tags look like.
Meta Tag break down: <meta name=”type of meta” content=”type in necessary information here” />
- <meta name=”description” content=”Andrew Nelson Leonberger’s Portfolio” />
- <meta name=”keywords” content=”Portfolio, Art, Digital Art, Grafitti, City Art, Abstract, Grunge, Web Designer, Graphic Designer” />
- <meta name=”author” content=”Andrew Nelson Leonberger” />
- <meta name=”copyright” content=”Copyright 2008 Andrew N.L. All Rights Reserved” />
2) Advertisements – Positions of effectiveness:
- Bottom (Good)
- Right (Good)
- Top (Medium)
- Left (Bad)
3) Having affiliates and partners
- Start meeting new people on forums and other blogs.
- The more you post your link the more people will go to your site.
4) Domain name – Always choose a domain that is easy to remember. No one want’s a sentence to remember for a website.
- www.google.com (Good)
- www.ura-nine-line.com (Bad)
Remember that the most powerful way to boost your website’s traffic is by show & tell. So tell tell tell!!!!
