Website SEO and Indexing
If you read the seo blogs and follow the software, IBP, WebCEO, SEO Administrator etc. you will see there are many elements to optimising a site.
Rules change all the time but in my opinion there is too much focus on elements that have little effect. Making someone re-write their code for example beacause it contains tables. Another one is talking about keyword density and getting hung up on italics, bold etc in the content.
I find the best way to optimise is to have good quality content and make sure those pages are indexed well. the easiest way to do this is to have a good sitemap.xml on your site.
Within your sitemap ensure you have the following covered;
- only 1 home page
- priority set to the higher values for the most important pages
- do not list the contact us, privacy etc. as high priority
Well, website seo does not need to take forever and does not always take many hours of hard graft. just knowing the bits to tweak can bring great results for very little effort.
