When you build a web page there are two masters that you have
to
serve: your target audience and search engines. If you disregard one of
them you'll be in trouble. Your page may be able to get its job done
but it is useless until web visitors can find it on the search engine.
On the other side, your visitors might find your page but unless they
take any action that you want them to do it's also useless.
For that reason,
researching your target audience needs as well as what they look for
online are a must. The way prospects look for information is through
the use of keywords. For example, if they were looking for colored
contact lenses, these would be the keywords used to search for the
sites that are about colored contact lenses.
The choice and proper use of keywords is very important in
creating
a web page. In fact, the number of visitors you get will depend on how
high up in the search results your site ranks. The higher you are
listed, the more the visibility and more the visitors.
So your
first job is finding out the keywords that your potential customers use
and carefully select keywords and phrases that are appropriate for your
website. For this, take a look at the keywords your competitors are
choosing or use Google's keyword suggestion tool to look up for more
variants of your keywords.
Once your keywords list is ready
craft it within your web pages. Start writing a web page with as many
relevant keywords as possible as along as the page fulfills your most
wanted response for the page. You can write how to information or
review products. Simply choose an appropriate type of content
that suits the needs of your prospects.
Once your content is ready it's time to
optimize your webpage for search engines. Here are some ideas that will
help your onsite or onpage optimization.
1. The phrases that you
use in a web page consist of primary and secondary keywords. When you
build a web page get a primary keyword and add one keyword or more,
similar to the primary one. You can edit the content using a
combination of primary and secondary keywords. But make sure that the
result you are satisfied with its quality.
2. Now, look at your
Meta tags. Make sure that you are using your keyword and its
combination in the Meta tags. Include your primary keyword in the title
of the page and add one secondary keyword or two, if possible. Also,
use the same set of keywords you use in the title for writing the
description tag.
3. Another idea is to use keywords in H1, H2
and other headline tags. This will not only make the content easier to
read but also help to optimize the page for search engines. Or, you
could also add your keywords to describe images available on the page.
So,
when you build a web page consider optimizing it for search engines
without compromising on the quality. After all what is the purpose of
having a high ranking on the search engine results and get a great
numbers of visitors if the page doesn't achieve your most wanted
response.
