AlltheInterweb SEO - Search Engine Optimisation

 

 

Our top tips for plugging your website to get more visitors, and get found by the search engines - Otherwise known as SEO = Search Engine Optimisation.

1

Fill out the Meta Data blurb in the head section of your website, especially Meta Keywords relavent to that particular page, and a Meta Description. Perhaps try a Meta Keywords Generator.

2

Add a Tag Cloud to your webpages, using a generator such as this or this.

3

Submit your page to the major search engines - be patient, it can often take them up to 6 weeks or more until they get round to Spidering your website.

4

Regularly check your website’s rankings at ALEXA and Google Webmaster Tools.

5

Join a Webring, perhaps one of ours.

6

Add the AddThis Toolbar to your webpages.... you may have seen it on here and other sites - it lets your visitors share your pages with friends via popular Social Networking and Link Sharing sites such as Twitter, Facebook & StumbleUpon.

7

Are there some keywords you forget? Find out via the Google AdWords Keywords Tool. Add them to your Meta Keywords.

8

Not got a Domain name yet, or perhaps think maybe a better one is in order? Check for NEW domain names that are available, or OLD ones their owners have for sale... perhaps as a result of an attempt at Domain Name Investing.

9

Got a Twitter Account for your website yet? or Perhaps a Facebook Group / Facebook Page?

10

Use the images on your website to your advantage - link them + use the AltTag description in it... hover your mouse over the logo at the top of this page and look at the tooltip, and you’ll see.

11

Depending on how deep your pockets are, consider advertising via a service such as Google AdWords or alternatives such as SpeedyAds (Entireweb) or Facebook Ads, etc.

12

Got other people to Advertise your website, with custom T-Shirts from either CafePress or Spreadshirt.

13

Don’t spam links to your websites onto other people’s websites, like some of the idiots who screw-up our Q&A + Blog services - that just makes people think you’re a wanker and your website is potentially dodgy and best avoided + will likely get you blacklisted at places like StopForumSpam.
