SEO Strategies You May Not Have Thought Of
Posted by Patrick Murphy on Thu, Sep 08, 2011
SEO is like an art form. There’s always room to improve. When implementing SEO across your website, there are some steps which are more obvious than others. So here are some obvious tips to even “I NEVER would have thought of that” tips for your SEO enjoyment.
Link, link, link.
Making sure there are links within your content to other parts of your website is a vital practice. Getting more and more links from outside your website to your own site is also a useful strategy in SEO. What does Google think when it sees lots of sites linking to yours? It means that you’re more relevant, and your content is more worthwhile. If all links come in to just your homepage, the search engine will think that your site has nothing to offer beyond that page so you won’t rank as highly.
Use BOLD
Using bold tags around keywords can be effective. But use them sparingly.
Take advantage of social bookmarking
Use social bookmarking buttons to increase user interactions on your page and help your visitors to share out your content. This creates more inbound links to your content, which is great for SEO.
Take advantage of foreign addresses
There are website directories for businesses in certain countries. The more listed you are, the more relevant to SEO. So can you get a business address abroad?
Using Images In Menus?
Think again. If you must, include text links before images because search robots like them better. Robots wont follow additional links to the same page.
Investigate article exchanges
Do you blog? Make your blog work for you by submitting it to article exchanges. Look for article exchange programs with relevant industries.
