Hello Guys, I am here to present the second article for category SEO of Stoogles.com. In the last post I have mentioned How SEO started in the past and how it is evolved with the time. I have also listed the things we do in SEO. Now I will be mentioning the short description SEO strategies in this post. Later I will make separate posts for each and everyone with full facts and information about them.
As you have already read in the last post that there are two steps of SEO :-
- On page SEO which is also called On Site SEO:– The name is telling everything, the things we do on the site to make it search friendly is called On page SEO.
- Off page which is also called Off Site SEO:- This includes safe link building and promotion things which we do for a site on other sharing sites(link sharing, video sharing, photo sharing etc).
I have already mentioned all these in the last post but the main goal of writing this post is to create an index for upcoming SEO articles. All the things I will be mentioning in this post will be later described separately. This post is just to let our readers know about the posts which will be written one by one in the SEO category of Stoogles.com.
Okay so lets start with the process:-
At first lets have a look on On-Page factors:-
1. Site Analysis: – Whenever you get contract for doing SEO for a website then the very first work you should do is to analyse the website about the current SEO status and understanding the nature of business. Means what are the things already there, what are the things which should be added, what are the things which need to be corrected.
2. Competitor Analysis:- After Doing the site analysis there comes the phase of competitor analysis. In this you need find the competitor site or most of the times client let you know about their competitor. Now its needed to complete analysis of the competitor site about what they are doing, where they are promoting and what special strategies they are using.
3. Keyword Research:- After site analysis and competitor analysis there comes the keyword research part. In this you need research keywords which will be scattered on throughout the site and also will be used while promoting the site.
4. Url Optimization: Url structure of any site must be human readable. It must not be parameter driven because you cannot get SEO benefits. Optimized url may include keywords in that for SEO benefits.
5. Writing Title and Meta Description:- When you finish researching keyword then you have to write the Title, meta description and meta keywords for all the pages of the website.
6. Content Optimization:- The next phase is content optimization in which you will be checking the current content if it is unique. If yes then OK but if not then create unique content for the site. While doing this Interlinking must be done throughout the site. Use of H1, H2 tags in it.
7. Image Optimization:- Images are very important part of any website but search engines cannot index images so you have to add alt text for images so that SEs can crawl that text and so that images should be searchable with it.
8. Robots.txt:- Now you must create a robots.txt file and upload it into the root directory of site. From here you can allow and disallow any pages of the site
9. All about Sitemaps: sitemap is very important part of a site as you can show all of the links on one page which leads to better crawling experience for search engines. After creating it submit it into the webmaster tools of SEs.
Moreover, if you want a detailed guide on on page SEO , you can check out my Guest post on Digitalgyd that explains about on page SEO techniques in detail.
Now lets have a look on Off-Page SEO factors:-
1. Directory Submissions:- This is one of the oldest technique used for better ranking in SERPs. It is not that much powerful but still it is being done by SEOs. This is like submitting your site in a directory of websites
2. Article Submissions: This is one of the most used and powerful techniques used in the past for better ranking as well as generating traffic but after the Panda update it lost its value a bit. Still it is being used.

3. RSS Submission:- RSS feed is the best thing in my opinion because you submit your site’s url or Feed on the site once and after it whenever you post new articles then it automatically updated there on the RSS sites. It helps in building backlink as well as traffic.

4. Press Release:- Press release is the best option when you launch any product or any announcement you had then you can write a Press release and submit on the PR Submission sites to notify users about your announcements.

8. Forum Postings: Forum postings are just like discussions. In forums you just sign p and start giving answers of questions and also ask questions. In it you can include your site in the signature to get good amount traffic from there.

9. Social Bookmarking:- Social bookmarking is just like you bookmark a site in your local browser. On social bookmarking site you bookmark you site’s links where it is saved and shown to the audience of that site. It gives you good traffic.
