Do's and Don'ts of Search Engine Optimization (Excerpt)
Published By: , April 2008
www.MoreVisibility.com
The world of Search Engine Optimization has a colorful past of both good quality techniques and poor quality techniques, also known as Spam. Search Engine Optimizers have been categorized as White Hat or Black Hat. The White Hat techniques embrace a “Best Practices” approach to SEO. They typically work for both the good of the Web site and the good of the Search Engines. Black Hat techniques can actually harm results and devalue a web site.
This Paper will examine the techniques that fall under both sides of Search Engine Optimization. The grey area topics will not be covered. The past few years have seen great achievements in communication between Search Engines and SEOs / Webmasters.
This communication has led to a much clearer path for long term successful Natural Search
Engine Optimization.
Keywords
Do: Research and find keywords and phrases that are relevant to the Web site. Use tools such as Yahoo’s Search
Suggestion tool, Google’s sandbox, Microsoft adCenter and adlabs, and Wordtracker.
Do: Write keyword rich articles and content. Newsletters, editorials, reviews, and white papers are good examples.
Do: Find ways to naturally incorporate keywords in the existing Web site copy. Review the existing Web page copy and look
for opportunities to enhance it with keywords or expand content with keywords.
Don’t: Stuff keywords where they do not belong. Repeated words or words used where they should not be are poor tactics.
Don’t: Hide keywords with white on white text. This technique stopped working in early 2000.
Don’t: Hide keywords behind objects on the Web site. Use of CSS and other tricks are not recommended.
Don’t: Hide keywords with very small text. This strategy stopped being viable shortly after the white on white text.
Don’t: Add keywords to the Web site that are unrelated to the Web site for the purpose of driving traffic. While Brittany Spears
may drive a lot of traffic as a keyword, it is valueless traffic if the Web site does not have anything to do with Brittany
Spears.
