Getting to page one!
Hello everybody the purpose of this page is to give all of you some free and informative and hopefully helpful information about getting your Website ranked on search engines. The process I would like to introduce today is called SEO better known as search engine optimization. Is your online business not being recognized by search engines? If so here are some helpful things that might help you to fix that problem.
1. Check if search engines can read your web page content.
Search engines today use, very simply, software programs to index your web pages. A web page that looks great to the human eye can be totally meaningless to search engines. If you have a great looking web site that is meaningless to search engines, you won’t be able to achieve high search engine rankings with that web site – no matter how good and interesting your web site content is. In general, search engines cannot see content that is presented in images (GIF, JPEG, PNG, etc.), Flash elements, JavaScript and other script languages or other multimedia file formats. These are basically all the things we see with the human eye. If you want to find out how search engines see your web page, we recommend using a search engine spider simulator.
2. Check if search engines can find your web pages.
If your web page navigation is based on JavaScript then chances are that search engines cannot find your web pages easily or at all. Most search engines don’t follow JavaScript links and many search engines also don’t follow image links. To search engines, your web site can look like a one page site with hardly any content if you use JavaScript links. If you want to make sure that search engines can find all pages of your web site then use simple text links or a searchable form of Navigation.
3. Check if your web server causes problems.
It is very important that you choose a reliable hosting company. If your web server is down when search engines try to index your web pages then search engines cannot index your pages. Some web hosts even change the web pages of their clients. They insert links to other web sites on the web pages of their clients and they only show these pages to search engine spiders. Some web servers return an error message when a search engine spider wants to access a web page. Again, a search engine spider simulator can help you to find out if your pages are returned correctly when search engines visit your web site. You can find one right on our webpage at www.besearched.com
4. Check if your web page content makes sense to search engines.
It’s important that you make the content of your web pages search engine ready. Search engines must be able to find out what your web pages are about. If you put lots of keywords in your web page title, the meta tags and the body text of a web page then the web page will be somewhat relevant to many keywords. If you want to get high rankings on search engines, then the web page must be very relevant to a search term. Only highly relevant web pages can get high search engine rankings.
5. Check if your web site has the right inbound links.
Some webmasters still believe that search engines will list their web sites if they just submit it. That’s not the case. Many search engines require at least one inbound link before they list a web site. In addition, the big search engines also rank web pages based on the number and quality of the inbound links. You will need someone that is experienced in building links to find out how inbound links influence the position of the top 10 pages on Google.
6. Check if your web pages contain spam elements that will upset search engine spiders...
A single spam element can destroy all of your SEO work. If you use hidden text or other spam elements on your web page then many search engines won’t list your web site, no matter how great its content might be. If you use white text on a white background, text in invisible CSS elements or similar elements that might be interpreted as spam then you should remove these elements as soon as possible. It will be difficult to get high rankings if your web pages contain spam elements. Submitting your web site to search engines is not enough. If you want to get high rankings you must make sure that search engine spiders can access your web pages without problems. In addition, search engine spiders must find the right content on your web pages and your site must have enough inbound links.
