Misunderstanding about SEO

Filed under SEO

Many misguided in thinking about SEO or search engine optimization.

Some mistakes about SEO. Many of internet marketer thing that SEO is FREE. Thingking SEO is free which makes a lot of people interested. SEO in fact it is not free!

There must be a cost that you spend when running SEO. At least cost for your time. Because SEO is not running enough in a couple of days. But it must be done consistently, constantly, and the need to focus.

If you stop doing SEO, while other sites or blogs that compete with you in fighting still running your keywords, about how the results?

Another mistake is to look at SEO as the only way to capture traffic. And SEO is just a “door” of course, and there are many “doors” to bring other traffic into your place.

Use Keywords In Page Titles

Filed under SEO


It is recommended to use keywords in page titles itself. This title tag is different from a Meta tag, but it’s worth considering it in relation to them. Whatever text one places in the title tag (between the <title> and </title> portions) will appear in the title bar of browsers when they view the web page. Some browsers also append whatever you put in the title tag by adding their own name, as for example Microsoft’s Internet Explorer or OPERA.

The actual text you use in the title tag is one of the most important factors in how a search engine may decide to rank your web page. In addition, all major web crawlers will use the text of your title tag as the text they use for the title of your page in your listings.

If you have designed your website as a series of websites or linked pages and not just a single Home Page, you must bear in mind that each page of your website must be search engine optimized. The title of each page i.e. the keywords you use on that page and the phrases you use in the content will draw traffic to your site.

The unique combination of these words and phrases and content will draw customers using different search engine terms and techniques, so be sure you capture all the keywords and phrases you need for each product, service or information page.

The most common mistake made by small business owners when they first design their website is to place their business name or firm name in every title of every page. Actually most of your prospective customers do not bother to know the name of your firm until after they have looked at your site and decided it is worth book marking.

So, while you want your business name in the title of the home page, it is probably a waste of valuable keywords and space to put it in the title line of every page on your site. Why not consider putting keywords in the title so that your page will display closer to the top of the search engine listing.

Dedicating first three positions for keywords in title avoiding the stop words like ‘and’, ‘at’ and the like is crucial in search engine optimization.
