I recently attended a free “Webinar on the Top 10 Free SEO Tools” The Webinar was put on by Jason McDonald-SEO Director, JM Internet Group. I enjoyed the free opportunity to hear another SEO professionals opinion and always love learning about free tools.
In my opinion: Personally I couldn’t sit through the entire webinar. If compared to a college course I would consider it to of been a 101 level course and I was hoping for an upper level 401 class. It was also Jason McDonalds’ strategy of offering a free webinar to lead you into a paid-related online marketing course. I wish Jason all the luck with his efforts.
His top 10 list were as follows: Agree or Disagree with this top-10 List???
Make sure your new website is indexed in the top major Search Engines. The easiest way to check to see if your website has been indexed is to search for the full domain name. Like (domainname.com) If that works try searching for your domain name without the .com. Links to the submission pages of the main Free Search Engines are provided below:
Altavista
After you’ve properly been indexed you can start focusing on Keyword optimization.
When creating your website, there are a few simple points to remember which will
improve the chance of your site ranking well in Search Engines:
1. You should include around 10 words within the Title Metatags in each page
and around 25 words within the Description Metatags. Your Web Design program
should include help information on how to create the Title and Description Metatags
in each page. These words should include the main keywords/phrases that you
wish your site to be found under. Keyword Metatags in pages are no longer
relevant in determining ranking in the majority of Search Engines.
2. Search Engines also read visible text on a page when adding sites to their database.
Thus, it is important to include at least 20 words of text on each page for the best
results. Again, try to include keywords/phrases that you wish your site to be found
under. Note – Search Engines cannot read text which is in the form of images.
3. Search Engine ranking is also determined by the number and quality/page rank of
websites linking to your site. If sites which have a high ranking have a link to your site,
this will boost your site’s overall ranking in search results more, compared to the same
number of lower ranking sites linking to your site.
4. Most Search Engines also use Link Analysis. That is they will also read the text
of links to your site to determine where your site should appear in search results.
For example if a large number of sites have a link to your site using the phrase
“property for sale” in the link, it is possible for your site to appear in search results
when people enter keywords into a Search Engine which include the same phrase
even if your site does not include that phrase.
