Increasing Keyword Success

Usually three- to five-word phrases that site visitors use to
find web sites. The idea of non-competitive keywords and phrases relates to the more specific terms
that you can use to describe your products or information. The concept of the Long Tail of Search is that
you begin any search with a very broad term. For example, if you’re searching for Italian dinner recipes,
that term is broad enough to return far too many results to be useful.
Using the Long Tail theory, however, the more precise and less common keywords and phrases are
usually the most effective. These are located at the end of the “tail” and are represented by a very
small tip (as if on the end of a tail).

Normally, a product site gets visitors by several types of keywords and phrases:

Product names and brands
General keywords and phrases
Long-tail keywords and phrases

The magnificence of the Long Tail of Search is that you don’t know how effective it is until you have
optimized your site and have some content on your site to attract it. Sure, there will be some Long
Tail queries in your logs, but it will be only a fraction of what could be there.
To conquer the Long Tail of Search, you need to create a rich foundation of content. The tricky part
is knowing what content to create. If your focus is on providing value to your customers, it’ll be easier
for you.

Building Your Site for SEO

Search engine optimization is essentially the science of designing your web site to maximize your
search engine rankings. This means that all of the elements of your web site are created with the
goal of obtaining high search engine rankings. Those elements include:
Entry and exit pages
Page titles
Site content
Graphics
Web site structure
In addition to these elements, however, you also have to consider things like keywords, links, HTML,
and meta-tagging. Even after you have all the elements of your page optimized for search-engine
friendliness, there are other things to consider. For example, you can have all the right design elements
included in your web pages and still have a relatively low search engine ranking. Factors such
as advertising campaigns and update frequencies also affect your SEO efforts.
All of this means that you should understand that the concept of search engine optimization is not
based on any single element. Instead, search engine optimization is based on a vast number of elements
and strategies. And it’s an ongoing process that doesn’t end once your web site is live.
SEO is a living, breathing concept of maximizing the traffic that your web site generates, and because
it is, that means that it’s a constantly moving target. If you’ve ever played a game of Whack-a-Mole,
you can understand how difficult search engine optimization is to nail. In the game, a little mole pops
up out of a hole. Your job is to whack the mole on the top of the head before it disappears back down
the hole and appears in another.
Search engine optimization is much the same concept. Search engines are constantly changing, so
the methods and strategies used to achieve high search engine rankings must also change. As soon
as that little mole pops up in one hole, he disappears and then reappears in another. It’s a frustrating
game, but given enough time and concentration, you can become very good at it.

Sectioning HTML5 Elements

header :-Header content (for a page or a section of the page)
footer:- Footer content (for a page or a section of the page)
section:- A section in a web page
article:- Independent article content
aside:- Related content or pull quotes
nav:- Navigational aids

All of these elements can be styled with CSS. In fact, as we described in the utility design principle
earlier, HTML5 pushes the separation of content and presentation, so you have to style your page using
CSS styles in HTML5. Listing 1-1 shows what an HTML5 page might look like. It uses the new DOCTYPE,
character set, and semantic markup elements—in short, the new sectioning content. The code file
(sample.html) is available in the code/intro folder.

HTML5 introducection

HTML5 introduces
a number of new elements and attributes that reflect typical usage on modern websites. Some of them are semantic replacements for common uses of generic block (<div>) and inline (<span>) elements, for example <nav> (website navigation block), <footer> (usually referring to bottom of web page or to last lines of HTML code), or <audio> and <video> instead of <object>.Some deprecated elements from HTML 4.01 have been dropped, including purely presentational elements such as <font> and <center>, whose effects have long been superseded by the much more powerful Cascading Style Sheets.

When you use the new HTML5 DOCTYPE, it triggers browsers to render the page in standardscompliant
mode. As you may know, Web pages can have different rendering modes, such as Quirks,
Almost Standards, and Standards (or no-quirks) mode. The DOCTYPE indicates to the browser which
mode to use and what rules are used to validate your pages.

SEO Tips for Google

 Domain Name Domination – If you really really want to rank for a very generic phrase or indeed have any chance of reaching a good rank then the domain name is often key. Make certain where at all possible that the domain name contains the keyword(s) that you would like to rank for.


Include keywords in your content-Give the primary keyword at the beginning of the page title.


Keyword Research – Many use tools like Word-tracker and Keyword Discovery or Google itself  to find those rich keywords that will bring traffic to a website. Fine, but think more about Google Instant for example. Whilst on the subject of website traffic, is it converting traffic? THINK about what will convert.

 Back-links- Yep, everyone wants those all-important back-links. Some pay for them ( No really??) Let’s face it the value of someone who is RELEVANT in your sector linking to you will always remain high despite how the algorithmic changes.

Your website code counts – If the coding on your website isn’t up to scratch then how do you honestly expect a search engine to interpret it and then magically come up with the results you wanted to see in search.

Social Media- There is no escaping the rise of Twitter etc. But be aware, you NEED a strategy for social media to work for you and your business. Think about what angle your tweets will be coming from, how you may deal with customers who directly criticise your service online. Social Media should now ALWAYS be incorporated into any serious online marketing campaign.

Images- People are now much more visually focused when it comes to the information they are presented with online. With the arrival of the Ipad, smart phones and tablet devices we can expect that many will consider a websites value by the way in which it looks. YES Google can interpret images and read them, so make sure everything is labeled up correctly.

Use the HTML heading tags for headings only. Don't use headings to make something BIG or bold.
Search engines use your headings to index the structure and content of your web pages.

H1 headings should be used as main headings, followed by H2 headings, and less important H3 headings, and so on.
