SEO is more Beneficial Than PPC

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

A new search engine marketing study performed by JuniperResearch and iProspect suggests that most internet marketers see a higher ROI from organic search engine optimization than from pay-per-click advertising.

The study focused on firms that outsource their organic SEO and at the same time purchase PPC advertising, and discovered that 35% of these firms had a better average return from SEO, as opposed to 11% from PPC.

The study also found that more than half of marketers who fit into the above sample don’t have a clear method of determining which channel (SEO or PPC) gives them a better ROI. Although most firms do track the combined results of all search engine traffic, many fail to distinguish between the two distinct channels.

How to Properly Utilize Headings in SEO

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

So we all know that the title is the most important single element to optimize on a page, but it’s all to easy to forget the power of headings. Headings are like little titles that can be worked into a site’s content, and while no one heading can affect rankings as much as your title, having several keyword rich headings on your page can be an extremely powerful optimization strategy.

It is important to remember that there are actually six different kinds of headings ranging from H1 to H6. H1 tags have the most effect on your ranking followed by H2, and so on. To turn a piece of text into a heading you simply need to place it between <h*> and </h*> tags

A word of caution, however: it’s not a good idea to overuse headings on any one page as search engines might see this as spam. I n the vast majority of cases, you should be using only one H1 tag per page, and include at least two paragraphs of content for every H2 tag.

Overall, heading optimization is just a matter of common sense. Just write a good page of content, then spread a few relevant, keyword rich heading tags throughout your page, and your search engine ranking should be affected for the better.

 

 

writing good seo content???

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

‘How do i write content for SEO?’ or ‘How do i optimise my content for the search engines?’

Its not something, i’d really spend too much time thinking about, a naturally written article, with a few or no SEO considerations is likely to actually be the most optimised article, not least because its likely to flow and read much better for your visitors.

Some people worry about targetting an article to a specifically targetted phrase, spending time worrying about having a certain keyword percentage, worrying if they’ll be penalised for this or that, do they have too high a keyword percentage or worried that they won’t rank well if they only mention their keyword once or twice in an article, its just counter productive.

I’d love to be proved wrong, but try it for yourself, trying firing off an article about a subject you have a knowledge about, now trying writing another article but ‘deliberately’ optimise it, sticking to a certain keyword percentage, studying possible long-tail search phrases to include within the article, how long does the second article take to write compared to the first?

Which performs better in the search engines? Which is more optimised? and which is more SEO friendly?

Reduce loading time of your website

Saturday, August 18th, 2007

Optimizing your web page loading time is essential for keeping your visitors. If your pages load time is too long due to un-optimized images, people simply leave your site before it is loaded! This way, you might miss out many visitors and also Comes with Latest Seo Tips.

Move all HTML code present inside tags to an external CSS file. Styles embedded in webpages make them bulky while the CSS file is downloaded just once on the client computer.

  • Remove Excess “Whitespace” Whitespace is the spaces between your coding, removing the unneeded tabs and spaces can help a lot! Doing this will take a lot of extra bytes off the total size of your page and will speed up load time quite a bit. (Careful using automatic squishers, I find they often squish too much and makes it rather hard to edit later).
  • If your pages have lot of Javascript code, move all the code to a separate external file that would load just once.
  • Large pictures should be avoided on webpages. But if you can’t do without them, slice them into smaller pictures.
  • Reduce the HTTP Requests: when opening a web page every object (images, scripts and the line) will require a round trip to the server. This latency can add several seconds to the load time of your site. Make sure to reduce the number of objects and to combine CSS files and scripts together.
  • It is important to have a reasonably fast loading web site so that viewers are not made to wait for a long time and to accommodate users on slow internet connections.
