SEO is about having content on your website that is relevant to the search terms people use so that it will be found organically by search engines.
Achieving this requires either the cost of using external consultants or spending time yourself changing the content on your site.

Search Engine Optimisation (= SEO)
“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" or un-paid (“organic”) search results. Typically, the earlier (or higher) a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine.”

How does Google decide how to rank your page?Google primarily looks at two things:
• Relevance (content of the page and which keywords appear where)
And• Reputation (inbound links from webpages
with high Google PageRank and Google+ page +1s)
26
Help Google to find your contentXML Sitemaps for search engines
• Submitted to search engines to help them find and index your site’s pages efficiently. Shows where your pages are (their URLs) + gives information about:
-The relative importance of each page -How often a page changes (always, every time it’s accessed, never)-Date a page was last changed
• Bing: XML Sitemap optional unless you have pages that struggle to get indexed
To be found, you must get indexed
Solve indexing problems by:• Create clear links through your site’s structure to all pages • Using consistent URLs (one per page)• Ensuring links on your site do not require Flash, JavaScript, Ajax to
be accessed. Search engines can follow such links: but HTML links are easier
• Giving all pages unique content, page title tags and meta descriptions. Ensuring key category pages (and as many as possible content pages) have their own inbound links from other sites (deep links)
• XML Sitemap is a good ‘belt and braces’ tactic ensuring all your pages get indexed
Put your keywords in key places
On-site SEO: keywords in the right places

URLs
• Your site’s page URL structure is the most important factor in ‘on-page’ SEO.
– http://www.most-important.com/very-important/important/not-that-important/not-important-at-all/invisible
Title Tags
• Title Tags on the index page are the most important html element on any website.– The first three words of your Title Tags should
ideally have your main keyword search phrase– 9-11 words– no more than 2 repetitions of one word
Meta Description Tag
• A page’s description tag is an important aspect in SEO Conversion– If there are no Description Tags declared on
the page, a search engine will usually use the first piece of body copy
– 1-2 readable sentences with strong call to actions directed at the visitor
Keywords Tag
• Meta keywords are no longer an important factor in Google algorithm. However Bing & Yahoo do still read this but are unlikely to use this data as a signal.– Include 3 – 4 key terms per page– Order key terms terms by importance
Headings
• Header tags give prominence to elements such as titles, sub titles & important body copy such as initial paragraphs.– H1, H2, H3 tags should appear in a chronological
order throughout the page– Each page should feature unique headings,
relevant to the content of that pageHelp Google to understandwhat your page is about!
Body Content
• Use the keywords relevant to that landing page. Don’t obsess over keyword percentages.– Contextually link to other landing pages using
keyword-rich anchor text relevant to the destination page it is linking to (not ‘click here’)
Alt tags
• Alt Tags provide a text description of what an image contains for search engines & screen readers.– All images should feature relevant keyword
rich alt text– Alt text should be 4 – 6 words long
Duplicate Content
• Google tries hard to index & show pages with distinct information & duplicate content often lies at the heart of big brands failure to rank.– Create unique content– Robots Text– 301’s– Canonical tag
But don’t overdo it
“All those people doing, for lack of a better word, over optimisation or overly SEO – versus those making great content and a great site. We are trying to make GoogleBot smarter, make our relevance better, and we are also looking for those who abuse it, like too many keywords on a page, or exchange way too many links or go well beyond what you normally expect.”
Matt Cutts
Inbound (back)links carry most ranking weight!
Source: Moz, 2013 Ranking Factors
Link Profile Analysis
• Knowing who is linking to our site currently helps us make better decisions regarding our future link building strategy.– How many sites are linking to our own?– How authoritative are these links?– What anchor text are these links using?
Link Volume
• There are a number of tools that allow us to measure the volume of back links into your site.
• Open Site Explorer• Majestic SEO
Link authority
• A linking website’s authority is based on:• How many second level links are pointing to it• How authoritative these second level links are• How relevant the content is to your own
Links from high PageRank pages are best
44
“Can we have a followed link please?”
• Often, you can (and should) just ask a webmaster for a link.– Ask partners & suppliers for links offering
testimonials in return– Contact relevant non-competitors
requesting reciprocal links– Offer unique content to relevant sites in
return for links
PR syndication
• Repurposing existing PR or creating SEO PR for syndication across online PR wires can prove extremely effective.– Maintain keyword-rich titles and content– Request keyword-rich contextual links back to
your primary pages– Test a mix of paid and free submission– PRWeb, PRNewswire, PitchEngine
The new reputation signal…

Cloaking - caution!
• IP delivery for search engine optimization (SEO) is used to deliver different content to search engine spiders (=robots =crawlers) than to human visitors.
• Determination if the visitor is a known search engine spider is based on the IP address. SEOs compare the visitor's IP address with their list of IP addresses, known to be servers owned by a search engine and used to run their crawler applications (spiders).
• Delivery of different content to search engine spiders from that seen by human visitors is cloaking and is against most search engines' webmaster guidelines

Continuous improvement
• Google's official position on webmaster best practices really hasn't changed much over the years. What has changed is the search engine's ability to enforce these guidelines through improved algorithms. The implementation of Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird has had a big impact
• Google's Matt Cutts says no one should be surprised when a website that hasn't followed the guidelines is penalized
• To reach the top of the SERPs and stay there in 2014 and beyond, your website must deserve to be there. It needs to be the best in class. It must offer the best user experience in that niche
• There are a number of tools that can help you achieve that goal
