Practical SEO Solutions
Posted on | April 17, 2010 | No Comments
Practical SEO. Do those two words actually belong together when discussing seo solutions? Seo solutions can be called many things, but practical seo is rarely one of them. Take a look at a few of the more popular sites about seo and you will quickly find that seo solutions are far from practical; swimming deep in the waters of complex impracticality.
Practical seo solutions, especially white hat seo solutions have been considered a myth until now. A single blog post about practical seo solutions can not cover the entire list of seo solutions, so I attempt to provide a few simple and practical seo solutions now and leave some for another post.
Practical SEO Solutions – The short list -
- Simple link building – Link building is rarely simple, but you don’t need to build a thousand links per day. Try some variety. A few in the low level free directories. Contribute to a few blogs and forums. When I say contribute, that means actually add quality to the discussion and don’t post just to get a link. Use some ethics and earn your links. If you are a blogger, try out some new themes and leave your comments about your experience with the theme on the developers site.
- Submit your sitemap – If you are a blogger, then there is most likely a quality plugin for generating sitemaps. If you operate a static site, there are several services free and paid that will generate a sitemap for you. If you are so inclined, you can write your own sitemap if you like and it is fairly simple, but the more pages you have, the longer it will take. Submit your sitemap to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and ASK.
- Keyword and Key-Phrase – Write content that flows comfortably with your keywords and key-phrases. This post is a poor example considering my key words are; Practical SEO and SEO Solutions. You must learn keyword prominence and frequency.
- Be consistent – Aside from submitting your sitemap, you need to be consistent with your link building and writing content that is rich in keywords. There are literally hundreds of seo solutions that can increase your rankings, but learning the practical seo solutions and applying them will be a better use of your time allowing you to focus on your specific website topic.
Practical seo solutions do exist, but you must be willing to learn them and implement them into your regular schedule. Once you have used them for a short time, they will become a standard practice in your everyday routine. What practical seo solutions can you implement today?
