Have you tried any and everything to get the search engines to give your site a higher ranking? How come you're not seeing any results then? There exist brand new owners of websites whose attempts at getting increased in the search engine rankings don't work because they don't do what they're required to. Search engine rules are always evolving and the ways to optimize your sites are being altered as well. If you're looking to beat out everyone you're competing against and Google's initial page is what you're hoping for, the mistakes you're about to learn about must be avoided. Avoiding these mistakes will increase your chances for success, even if you don' t have money to invest.
Images can greatly enhance the look and feel of your site, but too many can actually damage it. Search engines look for quality content that matches what a visitor is searching for, so having too many images reduces the amount of content your site has. The text that appears on images is not like the plain text you have on your pages. Search engines cannot read images, so any text on them is absolutely useless as far as SEO is concerned. If you really do want to use images, you should have your main keywords in the image's ALT attribute. Search engines are able to read your ALT attributes, so having your keywords in there can assist your ranking in the long run.
ATL tags must be on all the images on your site. While a photo loads, ALT tags describe what it is.
But, ALT Tags used with your images can also put you in better favor with the search engines. This is one of the most commonly forgotten elements when optimizing a site for the search engines. That's why ALT tags should be made using keywords so that readers and search engines both can know what your site is about.
In order for your web pages to rank high you must start formatting your content in a certain way. Design is important but for SEO purposes, having relevant content that is formatted a certain way and matches the searchers query carries more weight. Having bad content on your site is a sure shot recipe towards failure when it comes to SEO. Try not to add any individual posts to your site that are less than 300-400 words and your keywords should number between 3-5 inside every 100 words of content. It is common SEO practice to include the main keyword of your content inside of the page/post title, also. Never add too many keywords to your content.
See, SEO isn't as complicated as it seems, just stick to the basics and you will be doing better than most. The more quality links you build and the better you do internal linking, the higher your site will rise. So, now you have it; quality backlinks, internally linking related pages, on-site optimization, and patience.
