Google for the last several years not only gives search result differences by country by also by city. So if you run a Google search in web browser in Canada on a phrase you will likely get a slightly different set of results from running the same search phrase in a Google web browser in the US. This applies also to cities. So we recommend (if applicable) that you add the city that you headquarter in to your web site as part of your keywords or at least in the body of your pages.

Certain keywords are very competitve in Google and others can have little or no compeition. So choose keywords wisely and in for heavy competition keyword phrases, add your city. You also should add you location to Google places if you have a definate location.

Look at all your images on your web site. We already told you to use the ALT element on each image and add text with your keywords in these img html tags but are you also making these images with a hyperlink on them? Maybe not all pictures on your web site need to be hyperlinked but surfers like to click on images to get more info on what that image stands for. So use effective images and then hyperlink them to text that you have on your site for surfers to sign up for the products or services you are offering (Clicking on your corporate logo image can take web surfers to your “ContactUS.html” page) . Even if you are not selling anything, adding hyperlnks to your images increases the links on your site so improves your search engine rankings.

Major search engines look at words and higher word count on your web site for your keywords will assist in getting higher rankings in their search engines. Therefore we recommend you look at all your html IMG (image tags) in your HTML pages and make sure every image tag has the ALT element with the right words. In this ALT description of the image, add 1 or 2 of the keywords or keyword phrases that makes your site unique as the major search engines will find these words in the ALT section of your images. Do not abuse the use of these keywords trying to add hidden keywords or repetitive blocks of keywords over and over as the major search engines are looking for this and if there is an overkill of keyword stuffing then they will penalize you for this in their rankings.

Your home page takes the major share of your website’s SEO value. This is the first place to focus on when thinking about navigation elements and hyper links. Since the home page is the center spoke in the wheel that then goes out to your different pages, you should conder carefully what you put on your home page not only for links but also for words. You keywords need to be on your home page as well as, as links to as many of your web pages as possible. Use menus and footers to help with getting your links on your home page and use menus and footers on your other pages also. For very large sites you will have to weight what links and pages are the most important. Obviously landing pages, sign up pages, ecommerce pages with purchase links and contact pages need to all be easily accessible to new users tha land on your home page.

Major search engines like Google do look at your h1 html  tags  with higher importance than regular text. Remember your keywords again and make use of your keywords in html h1 tags if they are appropriate for that page. Some SEO Books will tell you that some search engines only look at the first 500 words on each web page so make sure your first 500 words are the most important ones containing your keywords. Each page in your web site should have an h1 html tag header for the crawlers to pick up as Google tracks your h1 headers.

It is good to know what businesses in your industry are doing so look up who is on page 1 of Google for keywords that people would use to find your site.   You can go to sites called http://www.freesitemetrics.com , enter your or your competitor’s home page and look at their meta tags. Look at the tags and keywords and see if you can learn anything from them. Remember you can look but you cannot copy material from other web sites as that is violation of copyright laws. As you learn what others are doing ask yourself questions like:

A) When customers land on my site will they buy my services or are they confused what I am offering?
B) Is the content of my site old and stale and looks like something from the 1990s? Does it need a new fresh look with content of when our latest services were announced?
C) Is my site readable on Internet Mobile Devices?

If you use a lot of flash and other coding languages, dont be suprised that the crawlers are not crawling it. Most Search engines do not read flash presentations or movies so have some text so your site can be found using the text. Images with the html IMG tag cannot be read either however major search engines can read the ALT element or attribute of this IMG html tag so make sure all your image tags have ALT text in them. Improve your rankings by putting your search keywords in these alt element html tags.

The HTML title tag on each web page in your web site is extremely important. Major search engines look at the title tag TITLE not only for title searches but also for rankings in non title searches. Make sure the words in your title are all essential. Some search engines only look at the first 50 characters in the Title tag. Standardization groups are trying to set the number of characters in a title tag to 64 characters. Other search engines look at the first 100 characters in the title tag. Therefore we recommend you add 100 characters in your title tag and make sure the essential keywords are in the first 50 characters of the title tag on your web site.

In the last post we explained to you about keywords that describe your business. If your keywords are so unique and you have little to no compeition you can get on Page 1 of Google. However for the majority of us, our keywords are compeitive and sometimes too competitive. In that case carve out a niche in your market, something you feel you are better at that others or some extra service you do that no one else does. You could then try and push those keywords to break into that niche market. If that is still too competitive then look at Branding. Branding is making a new name up for each of your main products and services. This uniqe name should be so unique that the actual brand name word cannot be found in Google. Yes that means a word not in the dictonary. A brand name could be the shortened version of your real name of the product, Think of how Apple used the word iphone, ipad and ipod for successful branding. When you come up up these Brand names, the first thing to do is buy the domain for it so no one else puts a web site on that brand name and starts using that brand name for their purposes. Here is a link to buy .com domains at less than $10/year: New Web Domains After you have bought those domains, put a simple web site on them to point to your main web site using those new brand names. Branding takes awhile to educate the public on what your new brand names are so explain it in your web site and promote it on free or even some affortable web advertising services such as those shown below:

Here are 2 good web advertising programs to tell the world about your new brand names and promotions: 1) Click on this Full Page Ad link to get your web site, business name and web full page ad on 20+ business directories and 2) Click on this Free White Page Listing link to list your web site for free on 20+ business directories and multiple blog sites.

Come up with 1 or 2 keyword phrases that describe your business and services. Use these keywords throughout your site and instead of saying something like click on this “link” where the word link is hyperlinked to another page of yours, change the sentence to something like this: When you click on this “keyword” link you will be taken to our page to explain more of our “keyword and keyword” services. (Then substitue the “keyword” with your keywords and put the hyperlink on it to go to the right page.)    To summarize: You can get better search engine ranking results if your keywords are actually words that are hylerlinked.

Do not abuse the use of keywords as Google and other major search engines look for keyword stuffing and will penalize you.

You should also design web sites to clearly communicate to the audience you want to address. Here are 5 tips for designing an effective web site:

1. Use a compelling title or headline on your home page that identifies your target customer and what you can do for that company. Identify your primary service and put it in your headline.  Use your keywords in the title.  This will help your search engine rankings.

2. Keep your site fresh and current.  Google rewards sites are have fresh content.  Build your site so it is easy to read and it has a theme that flows. Also it is very important that your text is large enough and easy to read. If you want to keep your visitors interested that last thing you want to do is have your text to light or too small.

3. Use client testimonials and success stories. Visitors will read success stories sometimes before they read what you are offering.  Have them add a link on their web site to your web site.

4. Put promotions or Free offers on your Web site. Not all visitors will be ready to buy, but when they see promotions or Free offers they may make the purchase or refer someone to your site.

Google’s page ranking for your site is not the same as the ranking position you get in Google for a certain search phrase. Google’s page ranking is on a scale of 0 to 10 with 0 meaning the lowest and 10 the highest. Better page ranking helps in better search engine rankings but is it not the ultimate factor. Google has its own algorithm for page rankings and one of the factors is the the length of time your site as been up since most new sites start off with a page rank of 0.
