Few Most Common SEO Mistakes
Proper Search Engine Optimization is really important if your want good traffic from search engines and if you dont do it properly there are chances that search engines will rank your site lower in the search engine results and your link’s rank will be lower and as a result traffic coming from organic sites will be less. So in order to avoid this mistake, i am writing few points that you should take care. Although, these days blogs comes with SEO optimized themes so you dont have to worry about it that much but in case you are doing something on your own, you should avoid these mistakes.
One of the most common mistake made by people is Creating a duplicate title tag or you can say poor titles. Title tags are the words that comes on the top of your browser which are the first thing that search engines look for and give a lot of importance to titles.
The next thing is poor site usability. Its how easy it is for the visitor to navigate your site and when its all messed up and the visitor cant find what its looking for, it will be a problem for you as you are losing visitors and also for search engines.
Insufficient content or you can say lack of Quality content. Writing quality content is really important if you want to get traffic so when there will be no content, there will be no visitors and so no traffic for your website and no earnings. So its better you update your site on regular basis with quality content and it will be good for you.
How to Choose an Affordable and Quality Webhosting
If you want to start a blog or a website, the first and the most important thing you need is web hosting. So choosing and affordable and quality web hosting is really important. But that doesn’t mean that you go for a dedicated server in the beginning as it can blow your budget. Hosting on shared servers work fine considering your traffic. But people make a lot of mistakes when they choose web hosting and sometimes get ripped off by poor hosting companies. And they can be avoided as long as there is proper knowledge and awareness on the part of the website owner.
The most common mistake webmasters make is that they dont research the reliability of the host they are buying which then causes problems for them in the future either due to downtimes or poor customer service and support. There are online discussions going on all over the internet regarding the reliability and services of the web hosting companies and researching a bit before buying can save you and the money you will spend on buying that hosting. I can give you my example, when i started my site for the first time i made the same mistake and bought a local hosting without any research and as a result i suffered. The site used to go down everyday for 15-30 minutes and when i tried to contact there support, they didn’t knew anything i dont know how they got the job of the customer service agents as they didn’t co-operate properly with the customers and that made me leave that web hosting company. The reason many people made this mistake is by seeing the prices. You see ads on many places like buy affordable hosting, buy cheap hosting for $xx amount etc and many people get in to the trap and suffer as a result. And most of the time, these companies dont even provide features that you need like web space, bandwidth and many other features So you should know what you need and then search for an appropriate host.
My Blogging Experience - What i learned so Far
Its been more then a year since i started blogging and when i started i knew nothing about it. The only thing i knew was how to make a post and nothing else and my friend helped me start a blog and he taught me the basics whats its all about and how to post and do everything. But still it was confusing and i couldn’t do much and my first few months were complete failure. The first blog i started was nothing technical or anything, it was a blog about celebrities as i thought its the most easiest thing i can post on . At that time i also didn’t knew how cheap this niche is but still i worked on the blog and for the first 4 months i couldn’t do anything or get any return from the blog which really which made me think about it whether i should continue or not until i got to know about Search Engine Optimization from my cousin who started giving me tips on what should i do to run the blog and he kept giving me tips to optimize my site for search engines. And i did those things and i was amazed to see the improvement and then i decided to learn SEO from scratch along with php.
Then i kept on applying the different things i got to know with time and it worked out pretty well and then i started few more blogs with my friend and they were successful. Some people do think that blogging is really easy and the only thing you need to do is install a blog and start posting and let me tell you that this is not true. You have to take care of many things apart from posting which matters a lot to the site. This was the same mistake i made when i started blogging that i focused on posting and didn’t do any research about the thing i was doing. Even when i think that i know all the things, i am absolutely wrong because there are so many things that i still have to learn.
What is Keyword Targeting?
When you read certain SEO blogs, they will talk a lot about keyword targeting but the truth is, most of the people dont know what Keyword Targeting is. Some people do know what it is but they still are not able to use targeted keywords and so are unable to get a good ranking in the Search Engine Results. Although they do get traffic but its not as high as it should be if they use keyword targeting properly. Keyword Targeting is when you site content is written in such a way that it is recognized by search engines as being an important destination for search engine users who use the keywords or phrases being targeted.
So what is the best thing that you should do? The best thing for you is to find a good keyword Research Tool and trust me you will find many of them on the internet. Either use the 7Search Keyword Tool or Aaron Wall’s Keyword Search Tool. Or you can use the Google Adwords Keyword tool, that also helps alot and tell you what people are searching and also about the advertisers competition regarding a specific keyword. What you have to do is that you have to find a list of certain keywords that people are looking for and are related to the products you are selling or related to your affiliate marketing program’s products. Also see that the certain keyword is also being searched by the people. After you gathered the list of keywords that you want to use, the most important things comes now is how you are going to use those targeted keywords. Use them in such a way that you get maximum search engine traffic and so you can boost your sales. Using the keyword properly requires you to put a lot of effort but it is the only way to achieve an efficient and speedy rise in relevance to keyword targeting keywords.
