No matter, how great a website may be if it is poor as far as search rankings is concerned, there is no way a business can be successful. It is therefore, essential to consider some basic SEO elements and guidelines for quality content.
The following are some useful tips that can help web developers and designers create websites with enhanced user-friendly techniques while preserving the style and design of the web pages.
If you use Flash for browsing through your website, you really have to know how to implement it in your pages and create elements that allow search engines to effectively crawl a website, or else they will have difficulty finding elements within it. You may be better off using JavaScript or CSS to create animated effects and avoid problems with search engine ranking.
Quality content that can be read by search engine spiders will boost your ranking and allow search engines the kind of content they are looking for. Structure you content effectively using headings paragraphs and links. All those websites that are poor in content have difficulty appearing on search engines. Use text as much as you can and avoid images or use them only with techniques such as CSS background image text replacement.
Keep your content updated and pages reviewed regularly, as search engines appreciate frequent changes in the content of the websites, this indicates that a website is still working well. If you have a blog, you can use excerpts from the most recent posts and put them on your pages. Avoid placing the whole post on, as this will create a double content and is not good for SEO.
Use URLs that are easy to find, which describe the content of a website and contain relevant keywords. By using enhanced content management systems, you can customize and make your URL very effective.
You should block those pages of a website that you do not want search engines to index; these may be pages that are not of use for content. These pages are those you may be using to evaluate your designs while building a website and if you render these visible they can considerably weaken the effect of the content you already have. To prevent these pages from being indexed, you need a file such as robots.txt or other similar files. You could always protect your test pages with a password, which is another way to make them invisible.
Make sure you differentiate your page titles, descriptions and keywords; this will produce unique Meta data. Always change the Meta data within all the pages or you may risk having the original information in these areas if you forget to do so. Meta data should be placed on every single page throughout the website as search engines use this data when searching for content and quality structure in websites.
The heading tags also have an important role with search engine ranking. If you create well structured heading tags in the content of a web page, this will provide data to search engines as to the HTML structure of the document.
