20 SEO Tips for 2010

Below are 20 SEO Tips for 2010 as a stocking stuffer from SEO Design Solutions to kick off the new year in style. It’s no secret that SEO involves granular changes across multiple metrics to optimize a site, yet each layer of the respective SEO onion has its place in the hierarchy of relevance which you can use to fine-tune rankings and results.

20 SEO Tips for 2010

These 20 tips cover everything from the basics to some of the same SEO techniques we use daily to dominate competitive verticals. We hope you enjoy the list and feel free to add a few of your own in the comments section or pass them along to others so they can enjoy them as well.

1. Canonical Issues - check canonical issues to make sure there is a preferred default page or domain preference (http:// or www).
   
   
   • No reason to have 3 variations of a home page .html, .php and default.htm, depending on your programming platform, server settings (Unix or Windows) as well as if you are using static pages or a content management system you will need to consolidate your website to either http:// or http://www to avoid splitting your site into less potent slivers.
2. Indexation and Crawl Frequency – See how many pages are crawled in a site to determine crawl frequency.
   
   
   • If you have a home page that is crawled regularly and your internal pages are ignored, then this is often a result of lack of internal or external links.
   • You can implement sitemaps on a folder by folder basis, then link from the footer in a site template to a maser sitemap page (where all the mini sitemaps are linked to) to increase indexation. This way the link from the footer consolidates the ranking factor to one page and THAT page feeds the various site maps equivocally (through a tiered drip-down site architecture effect).
3. Orphaned Pages and Dead Ends – check for orphaned pages to determine if pages are linked sufficiently to ensure crawling.
   
   
   • If you have a page or sub folder in a website that is only linked to from a few pages, then you cannot possibly expect that page to rank well in search engines. If you yourself will not “endorse” a page by linking to it properly (contextually from keywords in the body copy) or from the primary or secondary navigation, then you cannot possibly expect search engines to pay that page with any more credence than yourself.
   • Also be weary of PDF files (which can rank on their own and sponge link flow from your website). Make sure PDF files have absolute links (use the complete URL) back to your site, so they do not pool ranking factor and trap it where the rest of your site cannot benefit.
4. Dynamic URL’s – If pages are dynamically created, try to remove or rewrite as many parameters in the URL as possible or use URL / Mod rewrite.
   
   
   • Any time you have session data or query string parameters in a URL, you are decreasing the possibility of indexation. Particularly if there are conventions such as ?PID=23D-55.aspx trailing along, when a SEO friendly naming convention could have taken its place with a bit of programming. You can rewrite entire segments, sub folders, categories, etc. without losing functionality or compromising SEO value.
5. Naming Conventions – Use proper naming conventions (subject or keyword first, then plural variation, modifier, then tag line).
   
   
   • Here is a more useful post about how to use meta titles, descriptions and naming conventions, but the gist is simple. Create a hierarchy based on a relevant platform of topically reinforcing semantics using keyword clusters and related synonyms to toggle relevance from what search engines deem as the co-occurrence matrix.
6. Manage Outbound Links - Try to cap outbound links per page to fewer than 50 links for larger pages (10 for top level pages that need more ranking factor).
   
   
   • The more links that leave a page, the less ranking factor the elements on that page have as equity. The only instance when this is not a concern is if the page itself is augmented from other strong internal pages or have strong inbound links from other sites to offset the hemorrhaging effects of excessive links leaving a page.
7. Footer / Site wide Links - Use footer links sparingly by tactfully to tie site segments together.
   
   
   • Footer links still work (using 5-10 keyword-rich text links at the bottom of a page), but that can also diffuse the intent of pages that do not have enough content to distinguish themselves from other pages. If a page in a site does not have more than 300 unique words on that page, it can lose relevance as the navigation and other code structures collapse and all interject their shingles to offset or diffuse the pages unique purpose and optimal continuity.
   • For example if you have a page that is only a paragraph or two and you expect that page to rank for specific keywords, your navigation alone may trump the relevance for that page. Check your cached pages in text view to see how search engines view your code and your content without style sheets or java script .
   • Footer links can help bring balance to pages with less content, but use them on pages with enough content to weather their contribution.
8. Broken Links – Check for broken links which could be hemorrhaging link flow and weakening a site from within.
   
   
   • Broken links irritate search engine spiders, and when they cannot connect the dots, your sites rankings suffer. If you are using WordPress our plugin SEO Ultimate features a 404 monitor that sweeps the site for broken links which you can find and eliminate.
9. Alt Attributes in Images – Use alt attributes on images to preserve content integrity while providing internal links for ranking factor.
   
   
   • Using the alt attribute in images allows you to reinforce topical relevance with the on page text based content to improve a pages relevance score.
10. Anchor Text Optimization – Use pertinent anchor text and do not waste link equity from excessively linking to non reciprocating pages within a site.
    
    
    • Employing anchor text optimization means using relevant keywords to link to relevant pages within a site. Do this enough and before you know it you are virtual theming (which means creating a secondary navigation contextually through keyword co-occurrence).
    • This alone can distinguish your site from competitors as each granular layer consolidates ranking factor for a website. This alone is one reason why Wikipedia dominates search results, due to virtual theming.
11. Flattening Site Architecture – Keep site architecture as flat as possible or use breadcrumbs to aid in information architecture and crawling.
    
    
    • Avoid using sub folders excessively within a website domain.com/categories/products/color/page.html vs. flattening the url and site by using more descriptive naming conventions for a page domain.com/electronics-black-sports-watch.html
    • The closer the more competitive keyword landing pages are to the root folder, the easier it will be for them to gain additional ranking factor, page rank and page strength to express the content on that page.
12. Content Volume - Ensure you have enough content to topple a competitive keyword.
    
    
    • Trying to rank for a keyword with 5 million competing pages with a handful of content is an exercise in futility. You will need topical relevance which means articles, posts or pages all internally linked and consolidated to create the proper on page signals for that keyword.
    • For every keywords there is a relevance threshold and tipping point, you will need to offset competitors by having more on page affluence as well as off page peer review (links from other authorities). However, in either case, content is a requirement.
13. Contextual Links – Link contextually within related document to select preferred landing pages through virtual theming.
    
    
    • The premise is simple, if you are on a page about engines, and have a keyword pistons appear, then link the keyword pistons to the piston page. Do this for every keyword (only once per page if it appears more than that) and you have just added a virtual theme to your keywords. This means that each page can now work together collectively to support the parent theme (which is the main/root keyword itself).
14. Meta Tags - For larger sites, exclude meta descriptions but for smaller sites, use the meta data as an extra title or place for alternative keywords.
    
    
    • Always use a succinct and relevant title, but if you have multiple pages on a topic, then let search engines decide which keywords are more prominent and relevant by excluding the meta description / snippet from the page.
    • Also make sure that if you are using a content management system that your pages do not all share a common, generic meta title or description as a default. This is the fastest way to shoot down rankings in a site (lack of character).
15. Deep Links – Get at least 5-10 inbound links to each page via deep links from other sites in order to create buoyancy.
    
    
    • A page without links either from the site itself, or other sites is a page that has little value to readers or search engines. Popularity matters and for the millions of site owners who may or may not be aware of this simple fact, you MUST have deep links to a page if you want that page to exceed standard normalization.
    • A website replete with deep links (links to other pages other than the homepage) will start to have those individual pages rank and appear for multiple keywords. Not only does this create a more robust user experience, but the dependency for your rankings is not tied to an off topic or generic page like the homepage.
    • The take away here is, get at least 5-10 inbound links to each page minimum (if that page is expected to gain traction) otherwise, link to another page that is the preferred landing page and get deep links to it.
16. Keyword Stemming - Link to a page with multiple anchors (to create keyword stemming) and with “exact match” keywords to elevate just that term.
    
    
    • You can control how each page in your website ranks by being mindful about internal and external lining habits. This post called SEO Rankings and How to Create Them provides a masterful breakdown of this process.
17. RSS Feed Syndication - Set up multiple RSS feeds within a site to syndicate your content to attract natural backlinks from other sites.
    
    
    • A proper RSS campaign alone can build sufficient links for your website. Combined with a content development strategy and time-released topical content, this alone can drive traffic and increase domain authority to produce rankings and relevance in even the most competitive vertical markets. This post SEO, RSS and the Power of Syndication provides SEO techniques and tactics for RSS feeds and RSS aggregation.
18. Trust Rank – Linking from aged pages can pass along trust to new landing pages or sub folders or sub domains. Don’t look past your own site for ranking factor.
    
    
    • Passing along trust rank can save you months of waiting for search results to mature from fresh content. Here is a post that shows you how to identify and link from older more relevant pages to new pages to augment rankings and more importantly, trust. This method is designed to augment on page SEO and consolidate ranking factor from all pages to the new preferred landing page.
19. Sitemaps – Use sitemaps to not only tie the site together, but also as a way to nourish pages like an irrigation system through linking to them.
    
    
    • Here are a few other useful SEO tips you can use in addition to using sitemaps to improve rankings.
20. Sub Domains – Despite abuse in the past, sub domains still work.
    
    
    • If your website is sagging under its own weight, then segment a new section of the site with a subdomain to emphasize topical content or to topple a competitive keyword vertical.
    • Search engines pay particular attention to keywords in the URL and while you cannot always make the best of a bad situation, sometimes you can create islands of relevance using a keyword rich subdomain to augment your existing website to create a new beacon of relevance.
    • Here is a post on which is better for SEO, subdomains or subfolders. The choice ultimately is up to you, or even using a combination of both is entirely relevant. Site architecture must work in tandem with content, links and conversion. All are mere pieces of the puzzle until consolidated.

Consider this our late stocking stuffer to you all and we wish you a happy and prosperous new year from SEO Design Solutions. If you haven’t already, feel free to subscribe to the RSS feed for daily SEO tips and tactics to distinguish your website in search engines.  All the best to you all in 2010

SEO Tricks and Tips

So, you want a trick. Lets define trick:
First one here: a cunning or deceitful action or device; “he played a trick on me”; “he pulled a fast one and got away with it”
So, a cunning or deceitful action or device. Well that sure does not sound good now does it. But  yet that is what comes to mind many times. It reminds me of the junior highschool days when I probably spent more time thinking about a work around then just studying. Why was the workaround so more appealing? I really did end up burning some time coming up with different schemes. Like the time I wrote the answers down on a small piece of paper and put it in a small curve, taped it to my gut and then un-buttoned the top button of my school uniform shirt. Worked a few times.  I then got brave and just used the same ‘cupping’ method in the top pocket. Got busted . Honor Council.
I was an idiot. I learned nothing.
Well its the same here. In the time you spend reading up on a trick you can just as easily get a tip
So here is a tip: tip off: give insider information or advise to; “He tipped off the police about the terrorist plot”
So, we want a tip regardin SEO, or how can we implement something that will actually WORK and bring more visitors to our site that will in turn, produce the results we are looking for.
So, why the fuss over the use of a word? Big reason. If you stay down the trick path it has a dead end. Stick with searching for tips and you’ll find your path continues to lead to greener pastures. Yep, the trick road has some cool signs on the way that eventually end up in more dead end roads or worse off, accidents with large 18 wheelers (Penalties).
Want a tip for today? Spend most of tomorrow imagining yourself the head of the Web Spam team at Google and what kinds of things you’d try and do to prevent people from manipulating your search index so you could keep your job. Write down the top 5 or 10 things you’d do. Now, after you are done see how shocked you are to find out that you are violating most of the rules you wold implement.
Then, come up with 10 things you’d suggest people to do to improve their rankings naturally and that would still help you keep your job. Now just do those things.
Bottom line is the search engines are trying to get better and better at acting like a human and to detect moral behavior on the internet. To them its all about morals when it comes to their index and they wrote this moral index by the way. They can do that you know, they own the index.

Top 10 SEO Tricks for Beginners..

1. New Domain? Old Domain?
Do not purchase a brand new domain unless you absolutely have to. Google now has an “aging delay for all domains” check. New domains will be considered unreliable and need to “age” before it gains importance in the google index. If you had to use a brand new domain, expect to see 9-12 month delay before you are able to achieve top 20 position in any keyword. The trick is buy an old or expired domain.
2. Don’t go for the popular keywords.
Do not try to tackle the popular keywords such as “travel” “computer”, instead add a word before or after the keyword such as “travel tips” or “computer news”. Many top 20 positions in less popular keywords is a thousand times better than a top 200 position in a extremely popular keyword.
3. Design your site to be “spider-friendly”.
Remember spiders can not fill out forms or click on flash menus. Always have an alternative HTML link that spiders can travel through to crawl your entire site. The best way to go about this is have a sitemap that contains links to every page of your site. Google has a special place for web masters to submit their sitemaps. Use it! https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/sitemaps

4. Only link out to non-spammer, non-linkfarm and quality sites.

The truth is, it doesn’t matter who links to you, you can have a thousand spammer and link farms that have links to your site, and it won’t affect your rank with google. But if your site contains links to spammer and link farm sites, your site will also be marked as spammer or link farm. So the trick is, watch who you link to.

5. Put your most important keyword in your url and title tag.
Search engines such as google see your url as one of the most important factor for determining relevancy. For example, the top 20 positions for the keyword “wallpaper” are occupied by sites that contain the word “wallpaper” in their url. So if you want to achieve top 20 position in any keyword, the fastest way would be having that keyword in your url. Title tags are also very important for search engines, especially the first few words, put your most important keyword in the front of your site title.
6. Use keywords for folder names and file names.
This trick has became very well known recently. Use your relevant keywords for your sub-folder names and file names. For example if you have a web page called “contact_us.html” and your website is about selling “teddy bears”. Then use “contact_us_for_teddy_bears.html” as your file name. Do the same thing for your folders and you will have a keyword rich url.

7. Make sure your site loads fast and rarely go down.
This may sound silly, but whenever a google bot or any other search engine spider visit your site. They will test your page load speed. If your site loads very slowly, your page rank will suffer as your site is now considered unfit for browsing. Also if your site is frequently down, your page rank will go down real fast.

8. Never rename your webpage unless your site is new
For established and popular websites, renaming your webpages will kill your rank in the search engines, you are essentially starting from scratch in terms of SEO. So if you are redesigning your site, remember keep the old file names.

9. Never implement ANY cloaking methods on your site
Site cloaking was popular a couple years ago. It means show one version of content to your visitors and show a different version of content to the search engine spiders. There are of course legitimate reasons for doing this. But due to popular usage by spammer sites, it is now considered instant ban if you cloak your site this way. Do not think the search engines will not find out. Google now frequently send out unknown bots from unknown ips for the sole purpose of detecting cloaked sites.

10. Do not over-optimize
Remember the most important asset for your site is not your search engine ranking, but your users. Never SEO your site to the extent of hurting user experience. Over-optimization for search engines may help you in the short-terms but you will wake up one day and find out that your site only have “visitors” but not “users”.

How to find dofollow blog and boost up your PageRank for FREE

The idea of getting a great list of dofollow blogs came into my mind when I saw few people in digitalpoint forums managed to get good return by selling list of high pagerank, dofollow blogs. There must be some kind of tricks or automated software that can do the job. My quest on this trick/software didn't give any credible lead until I stumbled upon Fast Blog Finder. Before I proceed I would like to show you something interesting.
.
I bet some of you must be a little bit skeptical on the notion that high pagerank backlink can have significant impact in boosting up our pagerank. But let see this site (http://www.mobiletech-info.com). It has a valid PR6 after only 4 months of existence.

Judging from Alexa ranking and number of backlinks, it's not really in a good shape to even reach PR5. The definitive answer can be found only after the backlinks were put under scrutiny.

You can check the first top backlink yourself. It doesn't have any nofollow tag at all! Wouldn't this prove that backlink from high pagerank sites carry heavy weight in Pagerank calculation?
Now we are back to our main topic. Basically Fast Blog Finder will find dofollow blog posts for you. Before I go on further, let's get this thing straight. The idea is not to spam them but finding blogs which belong to the same niche as yours and comment intelligently. Give something insightful and constructive rather than leaving comment like "Good post" et al. It doesn't add any value at all. Ok, I don't want to dwell on this issue any longer, it would be better to get down to this lovely program.
First you need to download the program file at Fast Blog Finder. Install it and once done you will be asked to fill up a form so that they can email you the activation key. After that you can start do the searching.

When you are done with the searching you will be presented with posts that carry dofollow and nofollow tag. To further fine tune your search you can use "your keywords" + "commentluv". That way, dofollow tag will be applied to your homepage link and your last post as well.
This program is FREE but the search result is limited to 50 blogs for each keyword. You may upgrade this program for $49 if you want to have unlimited number of blogs for every search. 50 blogs are actually more than enough because we are not playing with numbers but quality. Remember we are not going to spam them; rather we want to add something useful on those posts and at the same time reaps the rewards.

8 FREE Online SEO Tools to Check Complete Site Statistics

Pagerank & Alexa ranking are not the the only factors that people will look at when analyzing the strength of a website. There are many elements come into play including but are not limited to basic on-page optimizations, domain age, inbound links, number of indexed pages in search engines, backlinks from social mediasphere (i.e. Digg, StumbleUpon et al) and xhtml, css validation.

Advertisers of these days are more concerned on how a website evolves; whether they are artificially boosted (blackhat) or naturally developed. I came across a few useful FREE SEO websites that provide thorough analysis as I hang out a lot in DP forum. Some of the websites are now buried deep in DP archives and I couldn't find a way to dig them out as most of them resided in threads totally unrelated to SEO things. So I decided to collect and list them (SEO tools that I still remember vividly) in this post.

Here is a list of FREE SEO tools.

1. Website Grader - This website provides a score that incorporates things like website traffic, SEO, social popularity and other technical factors. It also provides some basic advice on how the website can be improved from a marketing perspective.

2. Xinu Returns - Find out how well your site is doing in popular search engines, social bookmarking and other site statistics.

Note: I've seen websites with similar framework and template so I presume Xinu run on a similar script.

3. URL Trends - Features Pagerank, Alexa, number of baclinks from Yahoo & Google and many more. Fast at delivering result.

4. IwebTool - Provide pagerank prediction, in-depth analysis on backlink information, multi rank checker, website speed test and few more analysis.

Note: Pagerank prediction doesn't work most of the time.

5. SEO Book Tool - Features Search Analytics Tools, Keyword Research Tools, Competitive Research Tools, Link Analysis Tools & Search Engine Ranking Checkers.

6. SEO Digger - SEO Digger is a decent keyword gathering and research tool but what it really helps me with is determining a given site's overall theme and keyword focus. Apart from a list of search queries, wordtracker and overture results are also determined (keyword popularity calculated by Wordtracker.com). Data is also CSV-exportable.

7. QuarkBase - Provide overall stats related to social media popularity, traffic details and technical information.

8. Check Page Rank of Internal Pages - This is one of my favorite SEO tools and particularly useful after every pagerank update. The only downside is, it only registers 100 entry before it comes to a stop.

Note: Sometimes it's not responding but that is the only working Internal Pagerank checker I found so far.

There are many great FREE SEO tools out there but not listed here. If you find them to be useful and would like to share with our readers, please don't hesitate to add up your favorite SEO tool by commenting this post.

Chrome SEO: Make Your SEO Tasks Easier

f you have been blogging for a quite a while you must have been using several SEO tools (Alexa, Pagerank, Compete Raking and list goes on and on) either for checking your sites or sneaking up on performance of your competitor's sites on regular basis. Most of them are easily implemented via Firefox but this time around, I would like to introduce Chrome SEO, a plugin used specifically in Chrome.
I really like this extension because it loads pretty fast and doesn't consume much memory as I expect. The extension appears on the top left side of the address bar. So when you try to pull out data (SEO stats) from a URL, just simply visit the website and hit the extension icon. A list of data as follow will popup.

From there, we can click on any result to see for relevant information. The extension features Keyword Highlight NoFollow links, Research Tool (Alpha Version), backlinks number, pages indexed number, social bookmark count, current traffic, rankings and Domain Details (like Whois, Server Location, DNS etc).
Chrome SEO is being used by hundred of thousands Chrome users, making it one of the most popular extensions. Webmasters, make sure to keep it in your sleeves. Install Chrome SEO
