Do you want to know everything about SEO Search Engine Optimization?? then Read this complete guide to SEO.

When you start a new website or blog on any niche, then there is very Difficult to get a position on the first page of the SERP, even if you publish content regularly. Your competitors are showing there, instead of you. They are getting the huge amount of organic traffic due to their higher positions in SERP. This is a loss of you

Because,

♠  33% visitors go with 1st Position in SERP!  Really ???

♠  75% visitors go with Top 3 results in Search Engine Results.           Can You Imagine ??

♠  There is very less amount of visitors that check 2nd or 3rd page

♠  And Almost no (negligible) visitors go on 10th or further page in SERP

♥  In every month, on Google, 100+ billion Searches make by their users.            Oh Really!!!

 

Now you can think or imagine why you need top position in search engine results?

But now Question is that

  • how you can get top positions in SERP??
  • How to get free organic traffic??

 

The answer is SEO

 

What is SEO Search Engine Optimization & How it Works?

Definition- SEO Search Engine Optimization is a technique or the process to make a website or web page, search engine optimized to gain or achieve free, natural or organic traffic by getting Higher Position in Search engine results.

Learn What Google Say about SEO

To understand that, how SEO Works First you have to need to learn & understand about

After that, you can understand the working of SEO. It is the technique to increase the presence and visibility of your site or content on Internet by Different methods.

 

SEO has three types-

  1. White hat SEO (recommended, 100% Safe & Genuine )
  2. Grey Hat SEO (not recommended)
  3. Black Hat SEO (not recommended)

 

It divides into two parts-

On-Page SEO- make on your site or web page

Off-Page SEO- make without opening your site.

 

How to do SEO – Step by Step Guide

You can hire an SEO expert to do it for your site. I also provide SEO services, but I recommend that you do it yourself. Learn about SEO and understand it & start it. Googles SEO starter guide

SEO Periodic Table By search engine land

Before starting SEO check your Site’s Indexing in Search Engine by Site:domain.com.
If not then submit it on Google for indexing. LINK to submit

 

Keywords

To start SEO Search Engine Optimization, you have need keywords related to your niche. Keywords are used to write content & get the position in Search results. Choose keywords according to your niche. For example: if you have a fitness niche site then use keywords related to fitness like as, Fitness Tips, Fitness Bands, Body Exercises. And check monthly search volume, CPC etc. terms, about a keyword before choosing them.

You have to need to use keyword research tools to find keywords. Choose long tail keywords. There are many tools to do keyword research (free & Paid). But I am recommending you some best tools to find keywords

Keyword planner by Google

SemRush

Long Tail Pro

Moz Keyword Explorer

 

Content

“Content is the king of online market” this is true. I have found it many cases.

After choosing keywords, write content on them. And use relative keywords about that main keywords.

For example, if you write content on “Google Adsense” then use its LSI or Relative keywords like as Google Adsense approval, Google Adsense Tips, Requirements for Google Adsense etc.

 

Your content should be free from any error (spelling errors & grammar errors). Use Grammarly tool to check errors. Most important, your content must be unique not be plagiarized. It means content should not be copied from any other sources or sites.

 

Write a well-structured, informative, Descriptive and unique content. Content should be minimum 700-1000 words. But I recommend 800+ words in a post. Lengthy content is more SEO friendly. Use media in your content to increase search visibility. Remember one thing; Write for users, not for Search engines

 

 Content OptimizationTitle Tags

Write an Accurate, descriptive and concise title for your content As well as search engine. It should not be lengthy than 65-75 characters with spaces.

Use Keywords in-

  • in title & permalink.
  • In the first paragraph.
  • Image alt tag.
  • Use LSI keywords in body & H2 or H3.

 

Meta Tags

meta tags provides information about your site to search engine.write a unique and relative meta description about your content. It should not be longer than 160 characters.

Google statement about meta tags-

 

Heading Tags

Use Heading tags to highlight & divide your content titles in heading, subheading, etc.

Use H1 tag for content title only not repeat it. In WordPress, H1 tag is already in the title so don’t use it. H2 for Subheading & H3 for sub-subheading and so on…

In WordPress you can use Yoast Seo & Seopressor plugin it will help & guide you to do On-page SEO for your website or webpage.

Official Statement of Google About H1 tags

 

URL-Structure

URL is the address structure of your site. It should be well written, shorter(2-5 words) with focus keyword. Use hyphens instead of other symbols.

 

Image SEO

write image title, caption & alt text to make an image Seo optimized.

Design & Architecture

Your site must be neat & clean designed with proper HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT configuration.  With easily understandable navigation structure. Google looks for quality in your site. So Google uses website load time(page speed) as a factor in ranking. If you have a site that takes very less time to load or open then your rank will be higher in searches. UseGoogle page speed checker tool to check your site load time. you can use Pingdom or GTmetrix to check.

Your site should be Mobile friendly. In these days everyone has & use smartphones to search, read and watch something. Mobile users increasing day by day. So make your site is mobile-friendly.

 

 Social presence

this is a big factor in ranking.Social media has a great impact on the visibility of your site or content. Your Social reputation (likes, shares, tweets, followers) is counting in ranking. So you have the need to Share your content on social media to increase its social presence & indexing. It also helps to get traffic on your site. So be active on social media and share your content on popular sites like as, FacebookTwitterLinkedinGoogle Plus, Pinterest, etc.

 

Backlinks

backlinks are one of the most important things to get a higher position in the google ranking. Google checks about your backlinks, backlinks quality etc. to believe in you. Having backlinks from premium sites, it means you & your content are genuine not fraud or spam. So in the result of this trust, you get the higher position.

 

Submissions

Submit your site to high PR & your niche related directories, forum, communities etc. it will help you to increase your online presence & indexing as well as get traffic for your site. Get your content on Google

Submit your site Google Indexing   

Violation & Spam Penalties-

we can’t talk about SEO without considering the chances of google penalties. Doing SEO with wrong way or methods and over SEO can penalize your site from SERP. So be careful when doing SEO Search Engine Optimization. Don’t submit site on any site directory and in bulk. Check alexa rank and quality of that site to submit your site.

Webspam Content Violations

 

Conclusion

These are the main and basic factors of SEO Search Engine Optimization. SEO is not a big deal you can do it easily if you understand it once. Output may take some time depends upon your requirements. But there is always a risk of google penalties. Avoid Over & spammy SEO. Keep learn more about SEO search engine optimization & start it for you Site.

    Hello Harpreet,

    I would like to thanks, this informative article for SEOr.

    I am glad after reading your article about on Seach Engine Optimization. You know that what was the unique information for me, you have written in the article “Use LSI K.W in Heading”. I am totally unaware that thing. So, I’ll always remember this On Page factor.

    I always use LSI K.W in the site content so now I’ll use it in post heading 

    Thank You!

      Hello! @Adil
      Yes you can Use LSI in Headings for SEO. Metadata helps to Search Engine to know & understand about your content. but it is not a major factor in SEO.
      Most important is the quality of content & naturally use of KWs & LSI in your content. But avoid kw Stuffing.

      Thanks for your valuable comment….!!!
