Website SEO - It's Not Optional Anymore

Getting your website to page one of the search engines can be a formidable task with the latest Google Panda updates. 41.13% of all Google visitors will click on the #1 spot. If you are not at or near that position, you are losing the majority of traffic that you can possibly get to your website!

Many people ask, "can lots of money be made from squidoo?" With a lot of hard work and over time, you can create a income stream. But to accomplish this, you will have to be ever vigilant in your tasks to make sure you keep up with all of the Google changes that are constantly afoot.

Start with the basics

Website SEOTo optimize your website, start with the internals of your website first, then work your way out to the rest of the internet world. If you are just designing your new website, this is the ideal time to layout and optimize for the search engines. More often than not, when a website is designed, SEO is the last, not the first thing on the designers mind. This is a critical mistake, as SEO should drive the design and layout of your entire website.

If your site is already up and running, it's time to analyze the layout as well as each and every page within the site. Begin by making sure all of your important pages ling to your homepage. This is called internal linking and helps the search engines determine both the importance and relevancy of the information on your website.

Move on now to the next and probably the most important section of your SEO optimization -- Keywords.

Keywords

KeywordsWithout good keywords, yo are wasting your time in trying to gain a top position with the search engines. Keywords are first and top of the list in order to get your webpages liked by the search engine gods.

There are many tools that can assist in the process of discovering good keywords. The best known tool is Google Adwords. It's free, and it will give a some great ideas as to what keywords to use. Take the time to learn it properly. Like any other tool, if you don't know how to use it, you will most likely get invalid and useless results.

Backlinks

Website LinksOnce you have perfected your keywords, the next step is to develop backlinks to your website. This lets the search engines know how popular your website is and will increase your ranking position with the proper outside links. Utilize your keywords and create links on forums, directories, other blogs, and top of the list, social media sites. You will find that with the social media sites especially, that your links will get indexed much faster than they normally would. This is because the social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, etc., get higher priority with the search engines as they are considered authority sites and are highly trusted to provide quality information.

Update Your Lenses

SEO is an ongoing process. It's getting to the point where there isn't enough time in the day to get everything done, but there are certain things that are a must in the SEO world.

One thing that will help boost your lenses is to update them on a regular basis with new content. Keep adding modules and changing up your information to make your lens more informative.

Website Audit

Website AudioEven if your website has been up for a while, it's always a good idea to revisit the above steps and analyze your site to make sure it;s up to date and is ranking for the currently most popular keywords. Ideally you will either have someone on your staff dedicated to the task or job it out to SEO experts like us at SEO Marketing Pros. We analyze your site and give you a comprehensive report as to what, when, where, why and how we will improve your website.

One final note. Beware of SEO companies that offer you a quick fix in your website rankings. One or both of the following will happen. Either you will get a quick jump in your ranking and then plummet a few weeks later back to where you were or more often than not, lower than where you started, or you will get buried so deep in the search engines that no one will ever find your site. The search engines are very aware of these tactics and penalize a website severely for trying to game the system.

Put it all together

Google Page OneFollowing the above steps will help to dramatically improve your search engine standings. It's an ongoing process, so if you do not have the resources to dedicate to the task on an ongoing basis, please consider subscribing to an SEO Optimization Plan to fit your needs. With a steady, diligent, quality plan, you will attain and maintain top search engine positions to drive traffic and prospective customers to your website. A little TLC on a consistent basic will reap lasting rewards for your efforts. So if you catch yourself asking, "how to make money by squidoo", then this is a great place to start.

My Prediction about the future of SEO and Google

Google is constantly changing, dropping, adapting and fine tuning features and formulas in order to improve their search engine results for their clients. With the direction I see it going, it will become more and more difficult for small businesses to rank on the first pages of Google's search engine.

seosmm predicts:

SEO will get more personalized and it will get more and more difficult to rank in the top positions.

RealLifeServices predicts:

That Squidoo will remove the dofollow attribute from their lenses at some point :(

angelcho predicts:

Great tips. I love this lens.

cody44 predicts:

The whole SEO process will be completely re-structured by the likes of Google.

Squidoo-Freak predicts:

Naturally competition for top spots in Google will become increasingly difficult as more people bid to get them. The key is, and always will be, to build quality sites with quality contant. Social media can make things a lot easier, if you use them the right way.

flinnie predicts:

It is very hard to rank in the # 1 spot.

shovan16 predicts:

Yeah you are right. It's need to work hard to get high rank for example in GOOGLE.

Michey predicts:

Gard to predict, but I thick that classic SEO will never disappear, and it is not going to be eliminated by Social media effect, but can be diminished by it.

ronberry predicts:

The top positions will go to the sites that can afford to hire top-notch SEO pros or those who like you are well versed in the subject.

Tianna_Silver predicts:

I think that you're right. The recent updates with Google Panda have really had an impact on what is being ranked an how. As long as you have high quality content, a good SEO strategy can really help you.

GrammaLinda predicts:

As more people learn what SEO is and how to utilize it, it will be more difficult to rank in top positions for most keywords.

    Nice lens but isn’t it better to write a new lens instead updating an old one?
  • seosmm Apr 19, 2012 @ 5:00 pm | delete
    New lenses are great if the content is original. Older lenses have an age advantage and if they are consistently updated, will maintain and improve their rankings. Older lenses tend to fall out of favor with the search engines if they are left unattended. Depends on the lens though. If it never ranked very well and nothing seems to help it improve, then it;s probably best to move on and create a new lens.

    If you do your handwork, and stick to build quality sites with quality content, you canøt go too far wrong - even as competition gets stronger. Quality always wins in the end.
