Relevant Keywords Quality Content

Relevant Keywords and Quality Content are of the up most importance when implementing effective search engine optimization techniques.

When a person enters a search query into a Search Engine they expect to be shown relevant results relating exactly to the Keywords that were entered.

The Search Engine will interrogate its database of possible Keyword matches related to the Keyword query and display a number of Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs)

In order for the Search Engine to display results quickly it needs a method of Indexing its database which could contain references to billions of websites.

Search Engines utilise complexed algorithms which attempt to Index a string of Relevant Keywords matched to a website that contains the most Accurate and Quality Content that a potential Internet Searcher would find specific to their search query.

The Algorithms used by Search Engines are all unique to each Search Provider. The basics to how the algorithms calculate and score the positioning of a web site would be related primarily to what’s termed as On Page and Off Page information.

The term “On Page” is related to and defined as the actual website domain and its content, including all sub pages. The Search Engine will base its scoring on the Quality of the Content relating to the Relevant Keywords that are visible within the pages of the site. Web pages within a site should all be unique. Individual web pages have the ability to create Meta Tags.

The Meta Tags are used to define the actual page content to the Search Engine, therefore they are related and should make use of the Relevant Keywords related to the Content displayed by the Browser. Meta Tag information should be unique for each individual page. Focus should be given to the Meta Title and Meta Description Tags, as these can and will be indexed by the Search Engines and displayed within the Results Pages.

The term “Off Page” is related to other websites that provide a Backlink to the Domain Name URLs that the Algorithm is calculating. The Search Engine will determine the relevance and quality of the website that is providing the link, and weight or score the link information accordingly.

A website that is providing Backlinks should be relevant or related to your own Industry or Subject Matter that is contained within your Domain Name or Website. The Algorithm can determine related content by looking for Relevant Keywords contained within the pages of the linking website.

The relevance of the backlinks is important and will be scored higher by the Search Engine algorithm. A backlink between websites is similar to a recommendation between humans. Humans would normally recommended a Service or Product based on experienced knowledge that the information they are providing is correct. An example of relevant backlinks would be as follows; Website A has content relating to Photography, Website B also has content relating to photography. Both sites will contain Relevant Keywords to Photography and therefore should be classed as an trusted link or referral.

The website owner has full control over creating a site with good Quality Content. Whereas achieving high numbers of quality related backlinks can be difficult, time consuming and in some cases expensive.

A website that has Quality Content and has been organically optimized using Relevant Keywords should be displayed at a high position by the Search Engine Results Pages, when a searcher quires the term. If the searcher finds your content relative and informative, they may choose to utilise or purchase your products or services. Assuming that the Customer has received good service, they should then organically promote your Company both by Word of Mouth and possible provide organic one way links from other Internet Resources.

Quality Content which is accurate and meets the criteria set by the Searchers Relevant Keywords, should enable effective results for Clients utilising the Internet Search Engines as a Marketing Tool.

Search Engine Optimization

The main goal of Search Engine Optimization is to improve or enhance a Websites positioning within the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs), for the chosen keyword terms or phrases required by the Client.

The Internet has really opened up the whole world as a global marketplace. Businesses both large and small now have the ability to compete and succeed in the ever changing world of consumer or commercial requirements for products and services.

A great many reports from around the globe clearly state that customers are now utilising Search Engines not just for research, but to obtain new products and services, or to build new business relationships with suppliers. The main or most popular Search Engines are currently Google, Yahoo, MSN and ASK.

Websites now exist in their Billions covering most if not all vertical market sectors. Finding a niche market online is very difficult to achieve, therefore competition in many market sectors is high. The competition generally increases as the targeted customers geographic location changes from local to regional, then regional to country wide, country wide to global.

For example; a website providing a TV repairs service may focus its Internet marketing on a large town or city, whereas a website selling the latest LCD Televisions would focus its Internet marketing country wide. These two scenarios would require different levels of SEO due to the keyword requirements of each project.

Keyword Example 1 = “Television Repair Service Redditch”
Keyword Example 2 = “UK LCD Television Supplier”
Keyword Example 3 = “LCD Plasma TV”

A Search Engine displays the results of a Keyword search simultaneously in two formats. These formats are commonly referred too as the Natural Results and Sponsored Link.

The Natural results are generally displayed on the left hand side of the Results Page. The Natural listings are created from the Search Engines database which has been organically indexed over a period of time (months or possibly years)

The Sponsored Links are generally displayed on the right hand side of the Results Page. These results are also known as Pay Per Click Adverts, AdWords, Sponsored Search Ads, Paid Listings and AdCenter. (to name just a few)

Search Engine Optimization company’s normally provide a managed service offering both Organic Optimization targeted at the Natural Results and Paid Advertisement focused on the Sponsored Link Results.

Generally a combination of Organic SEO and Paid Advertisement will yield the best Return on Investment. (ROI)
