Web Design Tips -The Magnificent Seven SEO Tips
To
Boost your Search Engine Ranking
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO). Website design tips to get you noticed:-
Write with Authority.
You know your subject well enough to develop a website. Write
about your subject bringing out your knowledge and experience to capture
the interest of your target audience. Website design is important but
not at the expense of information. This is the hardest part so don't be
afraid to publish your pages then re-write sections. If you believe you
could have done it better then just do it again and replace with better
copy. SEO
Be Interesting
Write with passion.
I've written scientific articles and believe me; they can be drier
than a mummy's armpit!
I love design and especially the flexibility of website design. I want
to share information and help people wherever possible. If you feel passionately
about your subject then tell people. Make your text engaging enough to
keep their attention and they'll read on. If you can't; don't worry, just
get the services of someone who can help express your opinion.SEO
Use Website Titles Wisely
Remember that your trying to communicate so make your titles stand out.
Better still, the search engines will also be interested in your titles
so use a liberal sprinkling of your key words.SEO
Emphasise Important Web Text
Important words should be emphasised. If they stand out
to your audience then, chances are that they'll stand out to the search
engines and that's a major part of Search Engine Optimisation.SEO
Let Search Engines
Read Your Web Pages
The overall web experience involves many different forms of website design.
Some use Java or Flash to help build interactive and dynamic web sites.
They're great for some people but many people can't use Flash or turn
off Java to prevent pop-ups and other spamming techniques. Search Engines
can't read them or index the efficiently so the information is ignored.
This is a major loss of keywords and position points in Search Engine
Ranking. Website design that looks great and is never found on Search
Engines is not helping to pay for itself. SEO
Spell Web Text
Corectly
If someone is taking the truble to search for infomation then you dont
wanto miss owt because you've 'spelt' somthing wrong! Unless... you are
trying to cover common mispellings of important
key words or phrases.
SEO
Optimise Your
Images For Fast Web Page Loading
No one is going to wait indefinitely for your pages to load so you need
to optimise
web graphics to ensure they load as quickly as possible.
That's the first part of the story. You should also add a relevant description
to your 'Alt Tags' to squeeze every last chance of improving your Search
Engine Ranking with Google, Yahoo and other Search Engines.
SEO
Avoid
Food After Midnight
This last point didn't make the top seven but it's still very
important. If you need help with web design, or writing web
copy give me a call for a free, no obligation estimate.
Feed me after midnight and I'll be awake into the early hours working
like a Gremlin.
And one final thought- Just like the Magnificent Seven or Seven Samurai
- You can succeed against impossible odds if you develop a website design
strategy for Search Engine Optimisation success!
