| Day 4 - Optimisation & on page factors. |

On Page Optimisation is what most people are actually referring to
when they talk about search engine optimisation. This is the process of
taking your website and ensuring you show the search engines that you
are the most relevant website out there in your niche.
By now, you have analysed your website and your competitor's site and
can see the areas you need to improve. To do this you are going to need
to edit your website and there are going to be different ways in which
you can do this. If you have a dynamic website you will be able to
adjust most of this through your CMS (content management system). If you
have a static website you will need to edit the code and to do this I
use Dreamweaver
which I can't recommend enough. If you do not want to spend anything on
an editor you can use a normal text editor or the editor that is built
in to the likes of IBP and Web Ceo
to do your changes and then upload it to your web space. Alternatively
if you have a web developer on board you could just let them know what
changes you need to be made and have them change them for you.
I would suggest starting with just the home page and when you have
got a grip on the process move on through your web pages in order of
priority. Now is the time to refer back to your web page analysis report
and start going through point by point and amending the different
points starting with the Page Title, Meta description and keywords.
You may find you need to re-write some of your text to incorporate
your keywords you need to include but you must not do this to the extent
that you lose the point or it becomes disjointed and effects the flow
of the writing and sales message. Remember it's all very well having a
highly ranked page but if it doesn't read well people won't convert
anyway so there is no point so write for people not search engines.
People tend to when talking about something forget to mention enough
what they are talking about and this doesn't help the search engines
analyse your site so ensure you don't fall into this trap.
While you are writing your text look at the links within your webpage
that link one page to another. You want to make sure that the text that
contains the hyperlink is relevant to the page it is going to. For
example if the page you are going to is a Sony camcorder review page
then you would want to ensure the "Sony camcorder review " text had the
link not a bit of text at the end saying "click here".
Once you have made your changes you can re-run the analysis
application and see how your website weights up. You can continue to
change and re-run until you are happy that the balance is right between
optimisation and readability so that it doesn't affect how it is read. |
