What does optimisation of a web project begin with?
SEO is a set of measures taken to bring the site to the top in the search engines (the first 10 results on the search page).
Two main areas are meant:
- Internal Optimisation – includes a number of works within the site;
- External optimisation – includes working mostly with the reference profile.
In fact, the sequence of activities on SEO is logically justified: initially, we present the site in full compliance with the search engines on content quality requirements, and only then, try to artificially increase the number of relevant pages of users’ requests by reference promotion. Your content should be plagiarism free.
Internal optimisation – actions carried out in relation to the resource, which will later help a search engine decide whether your site meets its requirements. But there are demands as well! More information you may get by reading the reference Yandex and Google. For a violation of the rules, you will be imposed with particular sanctions, the so-called “filters.” Therefore, in the early stages, I advise familiarising with what you should not do with a resource, not to expose it to the risk and then proceed with its promotion. Proper internal optimisation is just half of the battle, so you should pay special attention to the internal optimisation.
Lots of businesses make money because of SEO optimisation. Custom essay writing service or a literature website …all these have undergone the search optimisation!
From the viewpoint of SEO, website consists of two types of files:
- Created exclusively for the web crawler – all sorts of technical files;
- Content “for the people” – a useful resource content, which includes the necessary and useful information elaborated for the users.
Content for web crawlers and content for people
Files created for search engines are not binding, but as mentioned earlier, we want to “strike up a friendship with them” so they will not be superfluous. Robots.txt deals with special instructions
for search engines. Sitemap.XML provides information on the pages of websites that need first attention during indexing.
The second type of files – is one that the user sees, opening the resource page. The search engine sees them differently, it sees a certain code page of the site that consists of different types of tags, each tag has its “relevance” and has some meaning.
Tags and semantics
Key tags, which need to be addressed during the work related to SEO: meta-tags <titel>, <description>, title tags <h1> … <h6>, the tags that contain the text <p>, <strong> and others. A web crawler, moving according to tags, analyses them and decides – how much resource pages are relevant to the user’s request. It is logical that in order to improve the relevance of the pages of the resource, you must create a semantic core, including a group of queries on the subject of the site and its individual pages that are closely related to each other on the basis of semantic identity and word forms. We will need the kernel to build the resource content while taking into account queries and to monitor the dynamics of growth in site positions.
It is important to arrange all the pages where you will distribute groups of queries. It is recommended to select pages with nested levels of no more than three. The further page by nesting level is from the host, the less it weighs.
Search engines consider the content to be one of the basic factors for the decision on the relevance of solutions. The text should be unique, include the volume of keywords, it should not be less than 500-1000 characters, contain a table of contents (tag <h1> – <h6>).
