I have met so many business owners whom are very much concerned over the
performance of their website, only after a few years of operation
online. This prompts me to spread and educate the business
world on the importance of getting things right on your website framework. You can never imagine
how much potential profits it can bring to the business and please remember what
i am going to say because it will help your business website significantly in search engine
rankings. |
Title Tag
I have said and wrote a number of articles on
getting the right title and placing it just after the HEAD tag. The
first line a spider read would be the TITLE tag and it carries
significant SEO value because it tells the spider roughly what kind of
content that webpage carries. Title tag is also displayed in search
engine result on top of the description and it tells a searcher what
he/she will be expecting from the website. Put your important keyword
in your title, a good example would be Confectionery Packaging | Global
Distributor for a packaging company.
Meta Description Tag
This
is the description of your website shown in the search engine result.
Write this description carefully with relevant keywords. Spiders see
this as a reference to the content that webpage contains.
Keywords Density
Getting
the correct keywords density ( around 3% - 3.25% ) is common. Keywords
are important words that you believed a searcher may type and find you
via the search engine. Identify the correct ones and you are on your
way to the top of the SEPRS.
Nested Tables
I am not
saying having nested tables are not good. Spiders simply do not like
nested tables and to prevent them from further indexing a webpage, we
try to reduce the use of nested tables. Replacing them with CSS would
be good. Even my website is currently using a bit of nested tables and
i am in the process of changing them with CSS scripting.
TITLE tag in a href
Many
do not make use of this tag in their links. Having them is good and it
tells the spiders what kind of link they might expect. It carries SEO
value by further securing the correct keyword. Example: a
href=http://www.ezbusinessneeds.com title=Search Marketing and SEO Web
Design
ALT tag in img
Alt tag is commonly used to
show text in case the image is unable to load in browsers. Spiders do
not view image, they aren't human. So by providing spiders with
ALTERNATIVE text will increase your target keyword density. This tag is
normally used for blind personnel.
Well this shall end the explanation for TAGS
in SEO Web Design.
