If you have been following my Online Marketing with SEO work, and have had your share of late nights trying to understand SEO then you will know that Online Marketing and SEO is not as easy as is sometimes suggested. But you will also know if you started without Keyword Placement, that you have wasted valuable months and even years. Not to mention all the costs like Blog and Email List Hosting, and it’s all because of simple misdirection an incorrect Keyword Placement.

Keyword Placement is the one single most important factor which determines your rate of growth, next to compelling content. Absolutely everything you do online from Blog SEO, Blog Posts, Comments, Forum Discussions, Publishing, Solo Ads and the rest of the never ending methods of attracting visitors is based on Keyword Placement. And as I have recently discovered, the correct Keyword Placement can have your Blog, Video, Articles and E-Books show up on the First Search Result Page in a matter of Days not Months or Years.

One need to always consider and accept the fact that targeting the correct audience will require preparation and proper planning. But also that targeting an interested audience is the only way to make money online regardless of your method, be it Blogging, Affiliate Marketing or otherwise.

Another common SEO mistake is submitting a Site Map to Google, because if you do not then Google cannot find its way to your Blog. A Site Map reveals the Keywords and Keyword Phrases which describes your work best so it can be categorized accordingly. Submitting a Site Map is easily done by installing a Plugin like “All in One SEO” or “Google XML Sitemaps“, but you also need to check in the “Google Search Console” that the Sitemap is indeed accepted and understood.

I recently had an “HTTP 404 Error” on my Blog Sitemap, which kind of freaked me out just a little because I was under the impressions everything was completed successfully. And after some intensive research I found that this appear to be quite a common problem, but easily fixable.

Now a Sitemap URL normally end with “/sitemap.xml“, but sometimes an extra (Dot/Full Stop) is added at the end from inside the Google XML Sitemaps Plugin and may be one of the reasons for the “HTTP 404 Error“. Luckily this is easily rectified by simply deleting the old Sitemap from the Google Search Console and simply copy/paste the Sitemap URL from the Plugin, only discarding that last full stop.

But let’s get back to Keyword Placement, just thought I’d better share some latest findings that made a huge difference to my own Sites and Videos Ranking Capability. The first few lines of your content is also your most profitable lines to work with, because that is how your Content get Categorized by All Major Search Engines like Google and Bing. Which is why the Site Title (H1 Header) and Post Title (H2 Header) with Widget Titles (H3 Headers) and the first 160 Characters of your Content Body is the only way you will make money online with your Blog.

The challenge however is to use those Search Phrases as part of Description Context and not just cram a bunch of Search Phrases in there that makes no sense. Within a Description the Search Phrase targeted should appear at least 2 – 3 times, and can prove a lot more challenging when using Search Phrases in Context.

For best results with Keyword Placement it’s always advised to try and create a fusion between your site Long Tail and Short Tail Keywords, and then include these Search Phrases in both Title and First 160 Characters because that is normally recognized as your Content Description.

That is the Description you may also see in the Meta Description of sites on a Search Result Page in Any Major Search Engine. You have the Site Title normally at the top in Blue, then the URL right beneath it in Green with the Description Text in Black. You may also notice some Keywords in Bold within the Meta Description, which will be the Keywords the Site currently Ranks for.

Exactly which Keywords and Search Phrases to use will be different to each person depending on the Niche you choose to make money online with. It is always better to target Keywords and Search Phrases with a High Search Volume and a Low to Medium Competition, but even then it may take a while to actually appear in Google Search Results.

Search Engine Optimization is quite basic and mostly Logic once you get the hang of it, but it is the less travelled path for a reason. While actual Ranking may increase quite rapidly with correct Keyword Placement, it may involve weeks and even months of proper research to obtain those relevant Keywords and Search Phrases.

You may even end up changing the Blog and Post Title a few times in the Meta Description, but when you do be sure that you also check on the Sitemap in the Google Search Console. Remember that when you change Keywords and Search Phrases the entire Sitemap also changes, and if you do not update that it will be like giving Google the Wrong directions to your site.

Proper Search Engine Optimization really is as simple as merely telling All Major Search Engines exactly what your Blog, Video, Article or any Content is about. The basics always come down to Title, Description and how many times the Search Phrase appear.

Keyword and Search Phrase Placement is your Direction, and it’s So Much More Important than Speed. Making Money Online is a Numbers Game of how many hours, days, weeks, months and even Years you’re prepared to keep going.

Post Title Tip – Try avoiding words like “and” or “at” in a Post Title because this will sometimes show up as a Special Character (&@$%) which is not considered SEO Friendly and will decrease your Blog SEO Score.

This also goes for Video, Article and E-Book titles because at some point in time those Titles are going to show up in Google Search Results. Which is why it is so important to use the Search Phrases in Context because that is the Description that a Visitor will read.

This is also part of the “First Impression”, what does your potential buyer see when they look at the Meta Description on the Google Search Result Page? Do they see a desperate attempt at a sale, or an actual professional suggestion to relevant, unique and compelling content?

The only “Secret” to actually Making Money Online is to keep going until you succeed, not until you grow tired of trying.

If you want to get more traffic to your website you need to improve your search engine optimization and pay attention regularly for changes and new ways to draw viewers. Many of the SEO guides that I’ve seen are hard to understand because they are to technical and not written for the new user. However, if you really want to increase your traffic then learn and apply these SEO best practices.

Even though WP follows the SEO best practices there are still a number of things that you must do to get the most traffic as possible to your site. The more that you know what to do and take regular action to be recognized by the various search engines the more you’ll benefit from your efforts.

Search engines are usually the biggest source of traffic for most websites and Search Engine Optimization is really a strategy that wise website owners use to get the best possible results in the rankings.

It’s not like fooling the system for better results and more visitors but it’s only about creating your website with optimized code and formatting that make it easier for the search engines to find your site and display it to the searcher.

The end result is a lot more traffic. So knowing how to optimize the search engines is valuable information that can always benefit you and your friends or customers website rankings.

When people search for things that you write about, you want to be as high in the rankings as possible. This being to get on the first of the search engine result pages or SERP’s and get lots of traffic to your site.

So make your website search engine friendly and get the most out of them as they are continually working to help their searchers have a better experience and find what they need.

Below I’ve listed 6 SEO tips to get more traffic to your site:

1. Visibility Settings Option

A cool WP feature is that there is an option to hide your site from the search engines. It might be checked to give you time to build it up prior to publicly releasing it.

Just log into the admin area of your site and click on>> Settings and then>> Reading. From there scroll down until you see ‘Search Engine Visibility’ and make sure that the box next to ‘Discourage search engines’ is unchecked. Click on the save changes button.

2. Add Your Site To Google Search Console

Google Search Console or Webmaster Tools is Google’s nice offering to give website owners a look at how the search engine views their site. It gives you all sorts of useful information to help you understand how your content appears in the search results and lists how often your pages are viewed.

With all of the information available at Google’s Webmaster Tools you can form a wise strategy for your content to attract more viewers to your site. The Search Console will also send out an alert if there’s any problems with your site that will affect your ranking.

After you have added your website to Google Search Console click on>> Crawl and then click Sitemaps. Then click on the Add Sitemap button. Then your sitemap>> sitemap_index.xml

After you add your sitemap it will be pending for a while, maybe even a few hours or as long as it takes to crawl your entire website. Then it will show your sitemap stats, the number of links found in your sitemap, how many of them were indexed, and much more. You should get in the habit of checking your search console every 2-4 weeks to gain info on your SEO efforts.

3. Use SEO Friendly URL Structures in WordPress

SEO friendly URLs clearly explain the page content like:

yoursite.com../what-is-SEO-writing-videos

SEO unfriendly URL’s have numbers and do not describe whats on the pages

yoursite.com… /?p=10213

So the unfriendly URLs do not clearly show what’s on the pages.

Use SEO friendly permalink structure which improves your chances of getting a better, higher spot in the search engine results pages. Check and update your WP site’s structure by going from your site’s dash to>> Settings>> Permalinks page and select the post name option and then Save changes. This will improve your chances of getting better spots in the search results.

To check and update your WP site’s structure: Settings>>Permalinks. Choose the post name option>>then Save Changes

>>>If your site has been live for more than 6 months do not change your permalink structure unless you’re using the numbers option. If you change your structure on an established site you will lose your social media share count and run the risk of losing your existing SEO ranking.

4. Choose Between WWW. or no

When you first create your site you need to choose whether or not you’ll be using www or not. Does it make a difference if www is shown in your website’s URL?

The search engines consider those to be two completely different websites so you need to pick one and forget about it. Some have a preference but from an SEO point of view it does not matter whether you pick one or the other.

Make your own choice by going to your site dash Settings >>General page and there you can add your preferred URL in both the ‘WordPress Address’ and the ‘Site Address fields.’

5. Choose The Best SEO Plugin

If you research on SEO plugins to find the best one you will most likely have a choice between the All-In-One SEO Pack or Yoast SEO. They are both excellent and the most popular plugins.

6. Optimize Each Blog Post For SEO

When I first started making websites I made the same mistake that many beginners make by neglecting to add my own SEO at the end of each page or post. I thought that the plugin was all that I needed, let it do it’s job right. I didn’t realize at the time that it was important for me to fill in my own meta title, description, categories, tags and keywords which are all located below the content area of your post on your edit page.

It’s important for you to check every few weeks to see that everything is set properly and make a change here or there if necessary for normal maintenance or perhaps a strategy change.

If you follow these 6 tips to get more website traffic and use the best WP SEO plugin you are ahead of most. Understanding and applying the basics regularly will make a huge difference in your efforts to increase your traffic and sales.

The ever evolving SEO and link building landscape has made high quality backlinks all the more important, now than they ever were. This has made it important to understand and implement high-quality strategies that drive campaigns to compete and thrive online.

Before we go any further, let’s revise the definition of link building for those who are yet to learn the many aspects of search engine optimization (SEO). Simply said, link building enables to acquire hyperlinks from relevant and trusted websites to your own website. This also helps you get ahead of the competition as it helps the visitor to navigate from one page to another, thus redirecting them to either your website or another part of your website.

Search engines that crawl a website do so through these links present on your entire website. They do so to either discover new web pages or to determine how well the page should rank in the search engine result pages (SERPs). If your website is full of quality content that is about relevancy and has the right keywords, the search engine based on these factors, along with the backlinks then decides if the page is good enough for a higher ranking. As like any other part of SEO, links and quality content also go hand-in-hand.

If you are on your way to devise or update the SEO strategies for your website then you must consider making use of backlinks at every step to improve your website. However, it is a waste of time to place the links just anywhere, which is why you must hire experts who can make use of the right research tools to leave backlinks where people would actually click on them. While it is a time taking process, it helps get your name out there and grab attention from people who are really interested in the kind of content you publish or the services you offer. Moreover, not everyone may always look for your website, but a backlink can help them reach there.

Link building works best for SEO when they come from authoritative websites that have made a mark in your industry. It is therefore crucial that the team you hire keeps an eye on new opportunities which can eventually help you rank better. Moreover, Google is here to stay and so will the search engine rankings, therefore, start working on them from today without further delay.

Link building started way back in the late 1990s, when Google started to dominate the search engine market. What keeps their popularity intact is that they are seen as a vote of confidence, which means that if you have a link coming from a trusted website, then you have done enough good to earn it. It improves your website’s credibility in the market, albeit the website adds value to the visitor. Therefore, before you look for an SEO company to start working on link building, collaborate with them to improve your website’s quality of publishing content that is worth the effort. The content should be well written, informative, relevant to your industry, and something that leaves behind a learning for the visitor.

The majority of you already know about Google Search Console and its impact on your SEO efforts. But, what about mobile-first-index and semantic search?

Two months down to 2018, you must know what worked the last year? What created a huge setback? Now, the question is, what must be changed in your SEO strategies to increase organic traffic, leads, profits and, indeed, value?

It’s a good time to reshape your inbound marketing strategies for increased organic visibility.

Why?

Consumer habits keep on changing… drastically. It’s the driving force behind inbound SEO marketing. Over the past few years, the corporate world experienced an enormous shift in the consumer behavior; primarily when it comes about eCommerce business.

What you need to do, now?

Make SEO a top priority for ultimate survival and outrival in the business world.

The long-desired goal of search engine optimization is to rise to the top of SERPs (search engine ranking pages). However, search engines function on an evolving philosophy. With the recent updates in Google’s algorithms, search engine optimization as a cornerstone of inbound marketing has considerably changed.

Carefully observe your SEO marketing data because search is getting challenging for all types of B2C and B2B businesses.

What do the marketers say?

According to a HubSpot study (state of inbound, 2017), “63% of marketers say their biggest challenge is to generate organic traffic and leads, and 61% states that increasing organic visibility is their top priority”. However, they do not continue with it. The best route to decipher whether marketing professionals fully embrace the strategically planned search engine optimization campaign is website auditing.

Here are few things to notice in case your website ranking is slowing down or faced a sudden drop.

The web page URLs are faulty or too long.

The web page titles lack the keyword focus.

Outdated web design and poor site architecture.

Call-to-action buttons either absent or placed wrongly.

There is an unnecessary duplication of home page URLs.

The web page titles are just imitating the content headers.

Improper content organization and poor internal linking.

Break the old habits.

Remember, evaluating and planning an SEO strategy isn’t a one-time exercise. Numerous factors are involved when it comes to driving organic traffic and amplified conversion rates, from useful call-to-action buttons to targeted outreach.

We all live in a digital environment. Virtually, every single business understands that unshakable user experience is a prime driver for customer conversion. But, growing and converting the target consumer-base while securing enough budget remains a top concern for the eCommerce businesses.

Let’s bring on top-performing SEO strategy for your website’s enhanced visibility online.

SEO is based on three major categories:

Architecture

Content

Links

Focus on all of them, or else your website will be nowhere on the internet sooner or later. Do not overlook any one of them; it will leave a negative impact on your online visibility. Eventually, it will put the effects of your organic at risk – resulting in fewer clicks, decreased page views, leads and sales, and, of course, the declined conversions.

Here are a few essential practices, more of a framework, to improve your SEO strategy – leading to increased visibility in the SERPs and keeping the potential customers on the site longer, pushing them into the sales funnel and, ultimately, convert.

1. Improve the Web Design and Structure:

First of all, ensure that your website design and overall architecture grounds on the latest trends – following the Google’s guidelines.

For example, your web design should be unique, clean and pleasant. Don’t go after a generic template, instead build a customized layout with a compelling value proposition to reinforce your brand worth.

Remember, customers always look for ease and clarity. The majority of them don’t appreciate the jargons and unnecessary use of superlative words.

Try to be as specific as you can while designing your website. Usually, people do not believe in big claims but give a considerable edge to personalized messages. Give it a thought.

2. Add Life to your Content and Target Long-Tail Keywords:

The next significant thing is content. For improved SERPs position, your website needs the fresh blood in the form of new, high quality and relevant content.

Every time you enter new content on your website, say in the form of blog posts, the web crawlers visit those pages and index them. In this way, the search engines keep analyzing your site and recalculating how it should be ranked in the SERPs. Every time you add fresh content or repurpose the old posts by adding new scripts coupled with long-tail keywords, the chances for your target audience to find you on the internet increases.

The web crawlers feed on regularly published content. But, to be honest, it is not enough to boost your website’s ranking. Why? If you continually post attention-grabbing content, but it’s not formatted as required by the Google Search Console, it will not make any impact on the deadly web crawlers.

Remember, if your target keywords are void of long-tail phrases, it can be hard for you to rank your site higher in Google search. Also, you cannot bring into play the voice search to its full potential. For the reason that people, verbally, use lengthy sentences compared to what they enter into the search engine bars. Hence, first, you need to make your website voice-search-friendly and then target the right keywords for improved results.

3. Never, I Reiterate, ‘Never’ Undermine the Power of Links:

Links, inbound or outbound, still matter a lot. These links are one the oldest factors in search engine optimization, but still considered as the ‘votes’ from the third-party websites that your site should be placed higher in the SERPs.

Getting inbound links won’t break your bank, but it is the most time-consuming aspect of SEO. The businesses who seek for their link-building kickstart the campaign by grabbing the low hanging fruits, including;

Business Directories.

Local Publications.

Classified Ads.

Yellow Page Listings.

Social Media Bookmarking.

With these methods, you can build a dozen of links in the minimum time span. However, for high quality and long-lasting links you should have to dig deep into the inbound marketing strategies such as guest blogging and paid campaigns. If you are unsure about what works in this regard, consider consulting an SEO company that will direct you to the right path to bag the desired results.

Verdict:

From first interaction to happy consumers and beyond, you must fuel your SEO with an above-mentioned 3 point checklist to outrank your competitors. From your site architecture to content and link building, your search engine optimization plan needs a new overhauling for increased organic traffic – leading to an improved position in SERPs and hence, the accelerated ROI.

Mobiles and tablets are the latest trends in town. People are switching from desktops and laptops to their little devices just because of its super-portable nature and unparalleled usability. That is the reason almost everything you do in a desktop can be executed from your mobiles in today’s date. As a result, responsive web design is also experiencing a massive reception from the people around the globe.

When every little particle is coming online, it’s quite natural that internet will be a huge part of this phenomenon. And when we talk about the internet, mentioning websites is just matter of time. We have been quite used to with opening the websites on desktops. But now, mobiles are an integral part of our lives when it comes to visiting a website.

What is Responsive Web Design?

Responsiveness in the web designing world means fitting a website in various screen size and resolutions. So, the website you are visiting on your desktop can easily be accessed on your mobile or tablet without any side-wise scrolling. Each of the buttons and texts will fit your screen size and fingertips which is awesome in the world of busyness.

But what if I don’t make my website responsive?

As responsiveness is the trend, it is quite clear that if you don’t make your website responsive, it will have its own consequences! Besides the usability and accessibility, there’s much more to fear!

SEO is a vast part of your online business’s success. And ignoring responsive web design will be a lethal threat to your SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Today, we will discuss how your website’s SEO gets affected by your website’s responsiveness.

Bounce Rate

Bounce Rate is one of the factors of SEO which play pivotal roles in your website ranking. When a visitor lands on your website, he or she needs to spend an amount of time on your website and your website’s aesthetics, functionality, and information would persuade them to stay. When you don’t have a responsive website, the users browsing your website from mobile is not going to have a good experience in terms of usability. So, the end result would be closing your website i.e. bouncing back from your website. This would increase the bounce rate and you are losing in the race of SEO.

Site Usability

One of the big reasons visitors bounce back from your website is the site usability. Site usability is the metric by which we decide how much the site is usable to a particular user. When your website is not responsive and you need to scroll it horizontally on your mobile device, it will diminish the site usability. Users will bounce back from your website and they can land on your competitor’s site as well!

Page Load Time

Page loading time has popped up as one of the most crucial aspects of good website ranking in the recent few years. The studies have proven that on an average, a user stays 5 seconds on a website while loading before closing it. So, if you don’t make your website mobile responsive, it will take huge time to load. So, you can do the math and come to the conclusion what would happen if you don’t go for a responsive website design service.

The above three are the main disadvantages if you don’t avail mobile responsive websites. When you know the drawbacks of a non-responsive website, it would be the wisest decision for you to ask the website design company you’ve hired to make your website mobile responsive while designing.

It is essential for a business of any scale to undertake a digital marketing campaign. With smartphone users growing by the hundreds of thousands per day, having your respective website and a presence in all populated digital networks is essential to grow your leads and create conversions.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is an essential aspect of digital marketing. The use of voice-recognition software in smartphones use search engines to answer your queries. In fact, most mobile browsers use Google and other engines to find the answers to their queries.

Social media’s continuous growth had convinced many digital marketers that SEO is dead. The truth is, it is still alive. Borrell Associates, an industry think tank, found that US companies with digital campaigns have spent about $65 billion on SEM campaigns in 2017. In fact, it believes that the SEO services industry can grow to $72 billion in 2018 alone.

SEO services from companies will help you rank for search engines and become the preliminary audience choice when searching particular topics using keywords. The growing industry has made SEO companies numerous with competitive prices.

It can be difficult to choose the best one for your company. However, we understand that a quality company is one that has the following traits.

Observe Their Analysis (And Answers All Your Questions)

Free consultation or recommendations might seem like a sales strategy for these businesses, but if you try their free SEO services once, then you haven’t anything to lose in the process.

However, when you do use their free service, pay attention to the information they ask from you. They will ask about your traffic’s demographic, the brand’s products and services, and your website URL for starters.

A good company will not have an instant answer within a single day. A good SEO service provider may take 3-4 days before they can give you their consultation results. However, the best ones will accommodate questions you might have.

Feel free to ask the SEO service provider about the milestones and objectives they recommend to you if you take them up on their offer. Also, ask them why they are confident with the presented methods and how they measured the possible outcomes of the project.

A good SEO service will answer your questions without fail.

Sets Realistic and Achievable Milestones

A good SEO service provider doesn’t want to profit from their old customers. They want to create partnerships. Therefore, they will do their utmost to help.

They also know the right stepping stones to achieve even the grandest objectives you can have when it comes to your marketing campaign. They will create their initial timeframe. However, they are willing to adjust it to meet your deadline.

These reliable companies will talk to you about the right digital marketing channels you can use. In their plan drafts, you might see plans to use organic SEO and pay-per-click (PPC) tandem campaigns to raise awareness regarding your brand.

Lastly, if all the timeframes and milestones are finalized, a reliable SEO company will provide a contract that guarantees they will deliver all the promised results by the end of the project.

Experience in the Industry

Experience is the best teacher. Even the most bookish companies become better when they have had years in their respective industries.

However, for the SEO service industry, experience is a must.

This is because every few months, digital marketing shifts. Old strategies need updates to work effectively. Experienced companies have the know-how to improve ineffective strategies within the quickest time possible. But still, make sure to check their methods; a top SEO agency, Singapore or worldwide, is updated with the newest services to keep their clients’ sites ranking.

A Good Project Record

With experience comes a great number of happy clients. An SEO company expert, Singapore, Asia, or in the US, can refer to their case studies when making crucial campaign decisions. They may choose to publish these case studies in their website’s blog or they can refer it to you upon request.

Their portfolio speaks plenty about their methods and services. Data-packed portfolios are excellent and informative especially if they mention the brands they have worked with. However, make sure to observe the solutions they provided for clients in similar situations such as yours.

Excellent Feedback

Lastly, never underestimate the value of client feedback. Businesses who have found them to be positive will have plenty to say about their time working with the particular SEO agency. If you wish to know more about their feedback, you can ask the company to talk to references in industries that is similar with yours.

Discuss with these previous clients the methods the SEO companies used and the efficacy of their solutions. Ask about the handling of data and contracts. The more informative their answers, the easier

Conclusion
