It’s all about developing a SEO friendly website.

You might have heard about SEO friendly website from your website developer or SEO optimizer vendor. Also, you will get the information somewhere on web or else somewhere on process of better website development. When webmaster listen the term SEO friendly, they directly think about SEO friendly sites and articles. But that is no sufficient as we think about the SEO friendly website. Actually, SEO is starts from the beginning of the web development where we start the designs of website. A better SEO friendly site has many major parts inside the whole development process. SEO can be divided in three steps where first two are better and time consuming process where you have to work extremely hard or incessantly. The SEO developments major parts are as website template and designs, better naming and description for website and final one is regular based content which is adding day by day and in this step you have to play with keyword research and its role play well.

Understanding how much is SEO important for a website: SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a by default part of website. Without this a website is of no use. When you think of good website which generates traffic and generate some good business, you need to think twice about SEO friendly website. Suppose if you have a great website with so many good stories and services as you want and wish to have or have no visitor and customer who at least see your website. Sure you think what would be profit for having such website. Actually that is SEO's great role play where you can have a better targeted visitors and vice-verse. Some years ago in the world there were only lacks of websites on the web but today there are more than thousand billions or bloggers and hundred billions of websites on the internet moving like a new kind of passion or requirement.
Website development is not one time process, it is time and mind consuming also. So here I have explained SEO friendly terms in real world with breaking all the steps used in SEO in three parts. These three parts explained below.

1. Website designs with support of H1, H2 and H3 tags: Your website template which have implemented with help of HTML and CSS support plays an important role with SEO ranks and way of indexing your website. Generally these codes used as H1 for titles and heading, H2 for widget and sidebar area and H3 tag other than title or heading and widget or sidebar areas.

Reference - [ H1 H2 H3 tags to increase your SEO and SERP ranks ]

2. Better supports of niche resources and contents: Niche resources means to things which are related to your website name and its description. If you have website named something like my one as database then sure you have to collect and publish things based on database and library contents or you can also post database like internet movie database (IMDb) or database for website resources and contents.

3. Regular updates of SEO friendly contents with better keyword: One of the great success achieved only by more numbers of page views and organic traffic by search engines. In your website you mostly have contents and services where services have its own way to publicize but content based things are need to optimize well. Such contents can be taken at keyword research tools and niche finder well. Overloading your stories with dozens of keyword also shows your website at spam level be careful while choosing better keywords.

After all doing lots of practices your SEO is not done you have to keep patience in yourself. You need to wait for time to get index your newly added SEO with all the search engines where you have submitted your website. In between that keep posting better and valuable things regularly.

The minimum should be once a day on Facebook and 4-6 times a day on Twitter. Also pay attention to what time of the day you post, the timing of social media is very important. There areTwo amazing tools which can be used to help automate this process are Swayy and Buffer. Swayy is great for finding high quality articles and news related to your industry and allows you to schedule posts to your different social networks. Buffer is a very popular app that can be integrated with your browser and dozens of other apps to help you schedule posts to your social networks. Using these apps can help you cut down your time spent on your social marketing to half an hour a day.


2.     Use Images When Posting to Facebook: The best way to increase engagement on Facebook is by including images within your posts. Photos on Facebook have been shown to generate over 50% more likes than the average post. When you want to post an announcement or to promote a piece of content then include the link to the page within the post (preferably after the content so it stands out) and attach an image to the post.


3.      Increase Exposure of your Communities With Social Buttons: The more impressions you have on your social networks the more likely it is that you will gain more likes. The best way to dramatically increase the number of impressions on your social networks is by embedding social buttons within your site and within your marketing communications. Most blogs have social sharing buttons displayed prominently to encourage readers to share the article.

Some of the places you may want to consider to place social buttons:
·         Footer of your website and blog
·         Header of your website and blog
·         In your newsletter
·         In your email signature
·         Within specific blog posts

6.     Create Micro Content: We are all suffering from information overload, which means that people have less patience and less time to consume content. A growing trend among marketers which should be seriously considered by online store owners is the creation of bite sized chunks of content for quick and easy consumption.


7.     Run a Twitter Q&A: Engagement is critical to keep any online community alive and well. A great tactic to grow your Twitter community and dramatically increase engagement is by hosting a weekly Twitter Q&A. The idea is to pick a day of the week, and then encourage your community to post questions related to your product, business, industry or really anything. You then provide answers to their questions and then choose the best questions and use them in a blog post.


8.     Run a Pinterest Treasure Hunt: Pinterest is one of the largest social networks in the world and can be used for a wide range of marketing activities. One powerful way to use Pinterest to create buzz around your brand and product line is to use it to run a “treasure hunt” promotion.


9.     Experiment With Different Titles in Your Blog Posts: The title of a blog post carries a lot more weight than the average person realizes and should get as much attention as the content of the post. Here are some tips for optimizing your titles:


·         Use everyday language
·         Leverage common psychological traits (urgency, fear, desire, etc)
·         Keep it short
·         Use negatives (Don’t do this vs. do this)
·         If you're post is a list, start the title with how many points you're going to make

10.   Make it Easy for Customers to Share and Pin Your Products: Including social sharing buttons is a must for any online store that wants to take advantage of our innate social behavior online. Make sure you include buttons to the popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest) and that they are not hidden away in your store’s theme.

The Basics of Online Marketing Strategy for your website

Process and working of online marketing has been changed dramatically in recent few years. When Google released search their Panda and Penguin algorithm updates, many website owners were sent scrambling as they watched their site’s rank slip.
But not all online marketers found Google’s updates to be devastating. Those who built a strong foundation in solid, white hat online marketing practices weren’t affected like marketers who cut corners and tried to game the system. These sites found their rankings plummet, and deservedly so.
Unfortunately, there were also those website owners who were stuck in the middle. Companies and individuals without a dedicated marketing team to test and tweak their strategies also saw their rankings dive.  Most of the websites in this category were run by business owners focused on day to day operations. Marketing is only a small fraction of daily operations, which means they didn’t have the time to understand the practices and testing that goes into online marketing strategies. Instead, these business owners picked up techniques here and there, but were often unaware of how and when to use different practices. Below mentioned overview will surely help you in understanding basic online marketing practices and how to use them.
Understanding the Basics of developing perfect Online Marketing Strategy for your company 
Developing a successful online marketing strategy is just like building foundations a house – it starts with a solid foundation. That foundation comes from understanding three basics of online marketing:
  • Search Engine Optimization
  • Content Marketing
  • Social Media Marketing
But knowing what each facet does for your website isn’t enough. As many people discovered after the recent Google updates, applying even well-established marketing techniques incorrectly way can hurt your ranking. To maximize their benefits, you also need to understand their shortcomings.
Search Engine Optimization Strategy
When people think of online marketing and the search engines, SEO is usually the first thing that comes to mind. SEO is used to create a site that the search engines will rank as one of the most relevant pages for a given term. The fact is, 95 percent of searchers click on a page that appears on the first page results for Google, Yahoo! or Bing. You can see that search rank is a big deal!
Building a solid SEO strategy consists primarily of selecting relevant keywords and providing valuable content related to those keywords. In the past, SEO was driven by factors like keyword placement, keywords density, and even how many times a keyword was used to link to that page.
But the search engines quickly discovered that keywords could be easily manipulated. A page that had nothing to do with a keyword could be ranked in top three, just by optimizing the page. Today, this means that sites who rely solely on keywords are often ignored by the search engines.
Instead, SEO should include:
  • Relevant Keywords
  • Valuable Content that is Shared
  • A Website that Loads Quickly
  • Both Images & Content
  • Backlinks from Respected Websites

Content Marketing Strategy
Content marketing is not a new concept at all. But now days content marketing is important because it helps build your brand and inspire confidence in your company. In fact, six out of ten consumers say that after reading a custom publication, they feel better about the company.
Online content marketing has expanded the field to include blogs, training videos, podcasts, and even video games. But like every other online strategy, content marketing has its downsides. Low quality content is the most common mistake and can affect your rankings and damage your brand. For example, content riddled with grammar and spelling errors makes you look careless and unprofessional. Providing statements without verifying the facts can make you look foolish. Remember that the content you put on your site might be the first impression a prospective client gets of your company.
Another mistake many businesses make is to pull away from content marketing all together. These likely results from a trend against guest blogging prior to the recent Google updates. Aggressive marketers were creating guest blog posts, and then submit them to anyone who would publish them in return for a backlink to their site. These backlinks were thought to be the perfect marriage of content marketing and good SEO.
Google, however, thought differently. They saw poor quality content of no value used for nothing more than backlinks. So Google took action against these aggressive marketers, and online marketers became concerned. Many dropped guest blogging and content marketing entirely, worried that their ranks would fall.
But Google never said guest blogging would result in poor rankings. They said marketers should provide valuable content and host it on reputable sites. Which should have been the plan for most marketers to being with.
Social Media Marketing strategies
For some, social media is nothing more than a way to stay in touch with old friends. But for businesses, social media is a way to tie SEO and content marketing together. Search engines take into consideration the number of shares a page receives when it ranks that particular piece of content.
Social media is also quickly becoming the primary way content is shared. Sites like Twitter, Google+, Stumble Upon, and Facebook all allow consumers to share valuable content with others in their network. Research shows people are more likely to trust content shared from people they know, so a share is akin to a 4 star rating!
A common mistake in social media marketing is thinking a large number of followers is all you need. In fact, many businesses have sprouted up offering to sell you 100 or 1000 ‘real’ friends or fans. Keep in mind that friends and fans are not enough – you need to build engagement. Friends that are purchased are often not your target demographic or are fake accounts. Neither will help you accomplish your goals.
In order to make the most of a social media marketing strategy, you need to interact with your fans and create a true community. Show that you are accessible by allowing people to ask questions, voice concerns, and even complain. Then address these issues in a professional manner. Provide them with content that interesting, not just promotional. Remember, social media is first of all social!
These three components are just the foundation of building a successful online marketing strategy. But without an understanding of how these three areas lay the groundwork for your overall strategy, you could find your efforts wasted. By building a solid online marketing foundation, you can begin to build a successful strategy that works for your business

How to Improve the PageRank of your website?

Here I am mentioning few suggestions for publicizing your website — and improving its PageRank — based on our experience getting the word out about Google Guide.
  1. Include useful high-quality information on your website: Create content that users want and will share with others.
  2. Submit your site to various web directories and reference sites: A web directory “specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links,”. Post your site’s URL (web address) to popular web directories including Open Directory Project (ODP), Yahoo!, and LookSmart. Also post your URL to online reference, e.g., Wikipedia, industry-specific expert sites, blogs, etc.
  3. Publicize your site to everyone with whom you communicate: Add your site’s URL, e.g., www.gharplanner.com, to every piece of communication you initiate. The TechSoup (The Technology Place for Nonprofits) article, Publicizing Your Web Site: Getting the message out there, recommends that “your Web address should be listed everywhere that your phone/fax number and mailing address etc.”
  4. Post newsletters on regular interval: Inform people what’s new or noteworthy on your site. The newsletter will remind people about your site and encourage them to visit to find interesting content.
  5. Provide a Rich Site Summary (RSS):RSS is also known as Really Simple Syndication. JISC describes RSS as “a lightweight XML format for distributing news headlines and other content on the Web.”
  6. Get high-quality websites to link to your website: Getting other “good” websites to link to yours usually helps your website’s PageRank and ranking on Google. But if your site links to delisted websites, your website might also be removed from Google’s index.
  7. Provide motivation for highly ranked websites to link to yours: Getting highly ranked sites to link to yours will improve your ranking more than getting many poorly ranked sites to link to yours. Also if Google suspects that you’ve traded links with other sites for the sole purpose of improving your ranking, it might penalize or blacklist your site.
  8. Do press release about your website: Telling the press may not get your website publicity. make Google Guide appeal to novices and experts alike, I indicated sections that would appeal to particular users.
  9. Keep your website up: If your website is not accessible for an extended period of time, Google may reduce the ranking of your site.
  10. Give away content: Add supported content or Web Pages related to the services offered by your website. Suppose you are into house plans and interior designs. Then add pages related to hose design tips, vastu consultancy, and interior design suggestion. For example you can check www.gharplanner.com
  11. Translate your website into foreign languages: This helps in increasing traffic from different locations.
  12. Search Google for your website: Instead of entering your URL into your browser, search Google for your site. Google is more apt to improve the ranking of a site that users seek and visit than one that gets no traffic from Google.
  13. Avoid devious tactics to improve your ranking: If Google suspects that you are trying to deceive it web crawler and thus its users by including hidden text, misleading or repeated words, pages that don’t match your sites description, deceptive redirects, duplicate site or pages, or other disingenuous tactics, then Google may delist your site from its index.
In addition to considering the number of links to your page and the ranking of the linking page, to compute a page’s PageRank, Google considers hundreds of factors including
  • how fast a site is gaining links
  • how long the links persist
  • when your site acquired the links
  • the click through rate (CTR) of Google’s search results, cached pages, favorites on the Google Toolbar
  • the stickiness of your site (i.e., the effectiveness of your site in retaining individual users)
  • Google periodically changes how it calculates a page’s importance, thereby resulting in shifts in rankings.

You can find out various articles on all these information on Google. Keep yourself updated and get good results for your website.

Digital Marketing: Link Building Strategies

External Links to your site from other sites drive additional traffic. But since Google and other major search engines consider the number of incoming links to your website (“link popularity”) as an important indicator of relevance, more links will help you rank higher in the search engines. Google has a measure called PageRank that reflects the quantity and quality of incoming links. All links aren’t all equal. Links from trusted, popular sites help your site rank higher than links from lower traffic sites.
1. Submit Your Site to Key Directories, since a link from a directory will help your ranking — and get you traffic. A directory is not a search engine. Rather, it is a hierarchical listing of sites sorted according to category and subcategory. Be sure to list your site in the free Open Directory Project, overseen by overworked volunteer editors. But if you don’t get listed right away, don’t be impatient and resubmit, or you’ll go to the end of the queue. A link in this directory will help you a lot.
Yahoo! Directory is another important directory. Real humans read submissions; so be careful to follow the instruction given. Hint: Use somewhat less than the maximum number of characters allowable, so you don’t have wordy text that will tempt the Yahoo! editor to begin chopping. Yahoo! Directory Submit requires a $299 annual recurring fee to have your site considered for inclusion within seven business days. Other paid business directories that might help are About.com and Business.com.
2. Submit Your Site to Trade Organization Sites and Specialized Directories. Some directories focused on particular industries, such as education or finance. You probably belong to various trade associations that feature member directories. Ask for a link. Even if you have to pay something for a link from the organization, it may help boost your PageRank.
Marginal directories, however, come and go very quickly, making it hard to keep up, so don’t try to be exhaustive here. Beware of directories that solicit you for “upgraded listings.” Unless a directory is widely used in your field, a premium ad is a waste of money — but the (free) link itself will help boost your Page Rank and hence your search engine ranking.

3. Request Reciprocal Links. Find websites in your general niche and request a reciprocal link to your site. Develop an out-of-the way page where you put links to other sites — so you don’t send people out the back door as fast as you bring them in the front door. Your best results will be from sites that generate a similar amount of traffic as your own site. High-traffic site webmasters are too busy to answer your requests for a link and don’t have anything to gain. Look for smaller sites that may have linking pages.

Digital Marketing: Search Engine Strategies

Search engine strategies are designing to achieve good visibility in search engines. The concept “More Visibility More traffic” works here. Therefore this strategy is also known as basic search engine optimization strategy. Its prime focus is to achieve good ranking in popular search engines. Most of the optimizer also uses a terminology “Organic Search Engine Optimization” it means a natural way of optimization to achieve the ranking. Here the spiders of search engine looks for relevant content on website as per suggested keywords. It something like we are finding a particular word in a dictionary. This process is also known as SEO. Let us start and explain each aspects of SEO in detail.
  1. Title of web Page - Keyword-Rich: After completing the designing and development of website and to start the SEO process first of all define a keyword rich title for each page. You can write a descriptive title for each page — rich in keywords you want people to find you with — using 5 to 8 words. Remove as many “filler” words from the title (such as “the,” “and,” etc.) as possible, while still making it readable. This page title will appear hyperlinked on the search engines when your page is found. Entice searchers to click on the title by making it a bit provocative. In HTML coding these are placed at the top of the webpage between the <HEAD></HEAD> tags, in this format: <TITLE>Digital Marketing Tool Tips</TITLE>. (It also shows on the blue bar at the top of your web browser.)Plan to use some descriptive keywords along with your business name on your home page. For ex if you are specialize in house design and interior design and that’s what people will be searching for, don’t just use your company name “Gharplanner.com,” use “House Design and Interior Design Bullets — Gharplanner.com.” The words people are most likely to search on should appear first in the title (called “keyword prominence”). Remember, this title is your identity on the search engines. The more people see that interests them in the blue hyperlinked words on the search engine, the more likely they are to click on the link.
  1. Writing META Tag Description: This will find after Title Tag in HTML coding. You need to write a Description of Keywords placed in META Keyword. Because most search engines include this description below your hyperlinked title in the search results. The description should be a sentence or two describing the content of the webpage, using the main keywords and key phrases on this page. Don’t include keywords that don’t appear on the webpage. Description META Tag are at the top of the webpage, between the <HEAD></HEAD> tags, in this format:
<META NAME=”DESCRIPTION” CONTENT=”Increase visitor hits, attract traffic through submitting URLs, META tags, news releases, banner ads, and reciprocal links.”>
The maximum number of characters should be about 255; just be aware that only the first 60 or so are visible on Google, though more may be indexed. So to summarize so far, every webpage in your site should have a distinct title and META description tag. If you implement these two points, you’re well on your way to better search engine ranking. But there’s more that will help in ranking.
  1. Place Keywords in Headers (H1, H2, H3). While writing content for your website, always use Heading related to keywords and highlight them too in paragraph. Search engines consider keywords that appear in the page headline and sub heads to be important to the page, so make sure your desired keywords and phrases appear in one or two header tags. Don’t expect the search engine to parse your Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) to figure out which are the headlines — it won’t. Instead, use keywords in the H1, H2, and H3 tags to provide clues to the search engine. (Note: Some designers no longer use the H1, H2 tags. That’s a big mistake. Make sure your designer defines these tags in the CSS rather than creating headline tags with other names.)
  2. Always Position Your Keywords in the First Paragraph of Your Body Text: Search engines expect that your first paragraph will contain the important keywords for the document — where most people write an introduction to the content of the page. You don’t want to just artificially stuff keywords here, however. More is not better. Google might expect a keyword density in the entire body text area of maybe 1.5% to 2% for a word that should rank high, so don’t overdo it.
  3. Using ALT Attribute of Image tags to include Descriptive: This helps your site be more accessible to site-impaired visitors and gives additional clues to the search engines. The ALT attributes do help get your images ranked higher for image search.
  4. Hyper Linking of Keywords: Search engines are looking for clues to the focus of your webpage. When they see words hyperlinked in your body text, they consider these potentially important, so hyperlink your important keywords and key phrases. To emphasize it even more, the webpage you are linking to could have a page name with the keyword or key phrase, such as blue-widget.htm– another clue for the search engine.
  5. Make Your Navigation System Search Engine Friendly. You want search engine robots to find all the pages in your site. JavaScript and Flash navigation menus that appear when you hover are great for humans, but search engines don’t read JavaScript and Flash very well. Therefore, supplement JavaScript and Flash menus with regular HTML links at the bottom of the page, ensuring that a chain of hyperlinks exists that take a search engine spider from your home page to every page in your site. Don’t set up your navigation system using HTML frames (an old, outdated approach); they can cause severe indexing problems.
Some content management systems and e-commerce catalogs produce dynamic, made-on-the-fly web pages, often recognizable by question marks in the URLs followed by long strings of numbers or letters. Overworked search engines sometimes have trouble parsing long URLs and may stop at the question mark, refusing to go farther. If you find the search engines aren’t indexing your interior pages, you might consider URL rewriting, a site map, or commercial solutions.
  1. Create a Site Map. A site map page with links to all your pages can help search engines (and visitors) find all your pages, particularly if you have a larger site. You can use free tools, XML-Sitemaps.com to create XML sitemaps that are used by the major search engines to index your web pages accurately. Upload your sitemap to your website. Then submit your XML sitemap to Google, Yahoo!, and Bing (formerly MSN), following instructions on their sites. By the way,  Google Webmaster Central  has lots of tools to help you get ranked higher. Be sure to set up a free account and explore what they have to offer.
  2. Develop Web pages Focused on Each Your Target Keywords. SEO specialists no longer recommend using external doorway or gateway pages, since nearly duplicate web pages might get you penalized. Rather, develop several web pages on your site, each of which is focused on a target keyword or key phrase for which you would like a high ranking. Let’s say you sell teddy bears. Use Google Insights for Search or the free keyword suggestion tool on Word tracker to find the related keywords people search on.
  3. Fine-tune with Careful Search Engine Optimization. Now fine-tune your focused-content pages and perhaps your home page, by making a series of minor adjustments to help them rank higher. Software such as Web Position allows you to check your current ranking and compare your web pages against your top keyword competitors. I use it regularly. Web Position’s Page Critic tool provides analysis of a search engine’s preferred statistics for each part of your webpage, with specific recommendations of what minor changes to make
  4. Promote Your Local Business on various searchengines. These days many people search for local businesses on the Internet. To make sure they find you, include on every page of your website the street address, zip code, phone number, and the five or 10 other local community place names your business serves. If you can, include place names in the title tag, too. When you seek links to your site, you should request links from local businesses with place names in the communities you serve and complementary businesses in your industry nationwide.
Also create a free listing for your local business on Google Places for BusinessYahoo! Local, and Bing Local Listing Center. That way your business can show up on a map when people do a local search. For more information, see articles on local marketing on my site.

  1. Viral marketing: Promote Your Video, Images, and Audio Content. Google’s “universal search” displays not only webpage content, but also often displays near the top of the page relevant listings for images, videos, local businesses and audio clips.  Therefore, consider creating such content appropriate to your business and then optimizing it so it can be ranked high enough to help you. For example, if you were to get a top-ranking, informative video on YouTube that mentions your site, it could drive a lot of traffic to your site. For more information, search on “optimizing images” or “optimizing videos.”
