What exactly does “SEO Value” mean? This is one question many people struggle with when starting out on an SEO campaign. It s one thing to throw words together and call it an article or even a blog post. It s very different to actually create content that actually has true SEO value for the business and is received well by the target audience. More number of back links does not always mean more success, especially for newer businesses. A lot goes into getting ranked highly in the search engines and the more you know about SEO, the better equipped you will be to get the most out of your marketing efforts.
You must understand that the major search engines use complex algorithms to rank websites. If you want your site to be ranked highly, then you must target your keyword phrases directly at these algorithms and work to improve the ranking for your key phrases. SEO is broken down into several components such as on-page optimization, off-page optimization, and keyword research. If you can master each one of these components, you will see a substantial improvement in your ability to rank well for specific keyword phrases.
On-Page Optimization includes things like meta-tags, title tags, headers, and tags, images, and other on page elements. These are only a few examples, but you can become quite proficient at this part of SEO if you put in the effort. Another critical aspect of on-page optimization is creating quality content and getting involved in the community of bloggers and online users. You want to build a strong social presence using sites like MySpace and Twitter that can bring you lots of traffic and back links to your site as long as your content is relevant and useful to the reader.
Off-Page Optimization includes things like meta-descriptions, keywords in titles, images, and other on page elements. Again, this is not an area to learn by reading a book. You have to get hands on and practice the techniques. As with on-page SEO, paying for high ranking in paid search engines like Google AdWords can greatly increase your ROI.
Content Marketing is a very effective strategy that combines on-page and off-page optimization techniques. This is a good strategy to adopt for both organic traffic and paid advertising. For those of us who have used content marketing successfully, we will tell you that it builds a foundation for long-term success. When you use articles to publish in blogs, forums, article directories with in-bound links to your website, you are creating backlinks to your site. More backlinks mean better rankings and more traffic.
There are many other strategies you can employ to optimize your website. However, if you want to achieve the best SEO value from your PPC or PPLM campaign, these 4 strategies are highly recommended. You may want to hire an SEO consultant if these methods are not effective enough for your particular business type and competitive environment. If you do decide to utilize these services, be sure to do your due diligence before selecting an SEO company.
