Search Engine Optimization, do you do it, and how far?
As most know(I would hope) It is a good idea when building FreeSite/Galleries or any site in that matter to add title attributes to their links, alt attributes to their images, as well as have a good title tag.
I find some people just make-up titles and tags for all their pages or sites, witch is ok in some ways , hover if you took a little bit of time, 5-10 minutes at most you could be write a better SEO page then you where before.
When Im working on SEO, I like to use
Overture's keyword lookup tool, because its free and can help me with picking words for better SE traffic.
One of the number one mistakes that ‘newbies’ make in SEO is to take the keyword with the most traffic and use it, however this is not always the best idea, because you will have so much competition for that keyword you will never make it to the front page of a SE.
For instances lets lookup the keyword ‘porn’.
Overture show us that 3,000,165 people looked for the keyword porn in June. When we perform a search on Google for the keyword ‘porn’ we see that there are over 146,000,000 sites trying to get top ranking on the SERP. This by far is a massif number for any small site or page to get top ranking, so with that in mind you would more then likely never see any traffic from it.
Lets say our site is about hardcore porn, and we are pushing FreePassBucks, or Wegcash’s email program. If we do a little bit of keyword searching we can come up with ‘free hardcore porn movie clip’. Overture shows that 152 people search for that key phrase(Remember that overture is not accurate always, so it may be more or less), and Google shows us that 2,920,000 sites are trying to get top SERP for this key phrase.
I know your thinking that not much traffic, however lets think about that for a minute, as we are building FreeSites or Galleries, and if we made one each day for 30 days that would be over 4,560 hits a day from SE traffic, not including traffic from TGP’s and LL’s. Also we know that most SE traffic is much cleaner then any TGP or LL traffic so our signups would be even better.
Just think by the end of the year you would have over 54,720 unique hits a day to pages that you made a year ago.
In a few days I will start talking about keyword density for better ranking as well as off site SEO.
