Search Engine Optimization (SEO) :

Hello mates, i have written this post long back(May be 5months ago).But i didnt publish it. The main reason is that i have to give many outbound links for different websites. Due to this reason i delayed this post.At present I covered almost 50% of topics regarding seo and i thought this is the right time to publish this post so that i can give all outbound links to my Internal Pages.

What is Search Engine Optimization(SEO) ?

SEO is the technical method of implementation on a website and its internal pages in order to increase traffic and popularity of a site from search engines. SEO is the key for webmarketing which can target on Image search, Content, Flash, and for different search queries. The main objective of SEO is how search engine works and how does spiders crawls website. If you can able to fetch out the procedure of How spiders crawls web pages and how does search engine algorithm works then you are said to be an SEO expert. Many SEO companies works on these two questions. They work continuously on testing algorithms.

Basic SEO requires simple editing of content and HTML editing to increase site relevancy and this process removes barries from search engines indexing.The basic step of SEO is to index our content in all search engines. Search engine operation takes 5 steps to show results as you enter search query. These steps are Crawling the web, Scanning HTML source code, Indexing pages,Processing queries and ranking results. Search engines uses very rich algorithms which can perform millions of operations in a secs. Search engines gives much importance for Hyper links. Spiders or bots when they start scanning our web pages they look for hyper links.If they find any hyperlinks then they will enter into those pages and check whether that site’s content is relavent or not. These spiders can understand HTML language.When spiders start crawling web pages they crawl each and every word. If they find any hyperlink with nofollow attribute then they will not give any value to that site. This is how search engine algorithms are designed.

Remember that if any internal web page cannot be accessed from home page then it is likely that it will not be indexed by search engines.Sitemap is the answer which can solve this problem. And what search engines actually require is text on topic with high quality. This is the major and important factor on On-page optimization.And there are many On-page optimization factors which really needed for SEO work. Think what really visitors expect. Few usability tips that really helps in attracting visitors are Navigation, Design, Information and Architecture,Functionality and Accessibility and Lastly Content.

How to handle SEO project?

How to handle SEO project or How to start SEO project:

We need to be a professional SEO before handling any SEO project. We cannot become an SEO expert without practice or without handling any seo work. If you are good enough about your skills then you can handle any seo work. I cannot say that I am having 100% knowledge about SEO. As we know seo is an ocean. But you should have confidence about what you know. With this sprit you can handle any SEO project. 

I started handling SEO work 2years back. I have done many Mini projects. With the basics of my knowledge I can say there are many steps to handle an SEO project. I am writing this article to those webmasters, companies who are willing to hire an SEO company. I just want to say them, that before hiring an SEO company they have to fetch as much of information as they can about that SEO Company. Why I am saying this because many of friends are working in different seo companies. They never ever do On- page optimization. What most seo companies are going to do is just submitting our website to major search engine directories and  keeping Metatags. This is how most seo companies handle projects. Frankly speaking without on-page optimization we cannot do seo for any website.

Well, things which I am going to handle for SEO project:

Check HTML source code: As a webmaster I know how importance is HTML. Knowing html is a must. You need to compare your html source code with your competitor websites. Comparing source codes is a good habit.

How search engine crawls your page: You need to have basic knowledge about How search engine crawls your web page. This is very complicated task. You need to know how search engine crawl your page and how it works. You cannot get this theory anywhere. You need constant practice on indexing pages. You need to next algorithms. If you know how Google algorithm crawl your webpage then you are considered to be perfect SEO webmaster. Try to gain as many as differences between search engines. If you can find the major difference between Google and yahoo then you can easily index your web pages. There is a method to know how search engine crawl your page. The best method is to play with your own website :D

Bit of CSS : Try to know basics of CSS. I don’t want you to become an expert in CSS. Just edit your website headings, font style, font color etc. If you can do this then it is well enough. Well, this is very simple task. Every one can handle this task.

Web design: I don’t want you to focus in this field. If you are doing seo work then you should not consider web design. In my sense web design is least bothered. We have to challenge our competitors and that is our prime motto. Well, good design can attract your visitors but try to create a website with less design. If you are having a bit of error in your html page then it creates difficulty for search engines to crawl your web pages. Many webmasters are facing with this problem.

Keyword research: I love this task :D  i know keyword research is very difficult task, but still i love it. I have written many posts on keyword research. There are many ways to approach best keywords with high popularity, competitiveness and relevance. This step comes under pure on-page optimization and as you knows that this is very difficult to do keyword research. Keywords should be use at right position at right time. Without keyword research you cannot top in search engine results. You should know where to use keywords.You have to be very careful while doing this task. Always maintain good keyword frequency in post title, and first 1/4 of content. Why I am saying this because most search engines gives higher priority for title tags and first 1/4 of content. 

Competitive research: In this step you have to compare your keywords with your competitors. Know what they are doing. That’s enough.

Complete knowledge about penalties: You should come up with complete knowledge about Google penalties. Without knowing penalties please don’t handle any seo work. Why because many companies get their databases for millions of dollars. If we have done anything wrong then Google de indexes their pages and keeps their website in Google sandbox. And this will be the very worst case.

robots.txt : Try to understand what really robots.txt needs. And try to get how they are crawling our pages. If you can do this then you can easily index your client pages.

After completion of on-page you have to do Off-page. Off-page is nothing but Link building.

Do you know what big seo companies do?? They prefer 3 way link exchanges. That’s it. No other step that they are going to take. I too have worked for  seo company. I know what they do and what not. Link building is the time taking process. You have to do it Yourself. I have explained many methods to build links. I have written a complete guide for Linkbuilding. Few of the best methods to build links are:

1) Article directory submission.

2) Do follow commenting.

3) 3 way link exchange. ( only up to extent)

4) And ever lasting method is nothing but writing unique and best content. This is the natural way of building links. Just checkout this article “Keyword rich content or Quality backlinks” you will come to know the power of content.

These are the few major steps which i take part in my seo projects. With these steps i can handle any seo project.And i hope that these steps are strong enough to handle seo projects. I just want to say to all website owners before hiring any seo company you have to checkout these steps whether any seo company is providing or not. If yes you can hire it without any doubt. If  not you can approach me. I will try my level best.

Thank you.

What is the price of an SEO? How much should an SEO charge?

What is the price of an SEO? How much should an SEO charge?

Search Engine Optimization is the technique involved in improving the volume and quality of traffic for particular targeted keywords. SEO services are worth and it is very hard to find the best SEO services. What do you expect the price of an SEO webmaster? How much does an SEO webmaster charges for a site to list in top 10 results on Google?
When you talk about few reputable SEO companies, you will see wide range of their pricing. Each search engine company charges in their own style and they have contract terms. You can see a variations of cost from   50%-10,000%. You believe me or not some well reputable seo companies charges in hourly/daily rates. As a normal website owner do you come to know that a seo guarantees you ranking in higher search results?
Well, let us discuss that How an SEO Company determine pricing for their Guaranteed SEO services:

From my past experience I had deal with many clients and ranked their websites in higher search results. I have done seo for couple of websites and ranked their websites for hundreds of generic competitive terms. As a webmaster i can say there is a process of charging from clients.
The process is:

  • Well if you are new to this market, then you will be knowing nothing about Master Keywords. For such kind of clients I will be spending most of my time on your site canalization. After a brief canalization I will come up with 8 to 12 Target keyword phrases and some around 20 Master Keywords. Site SEO starts only with Keyword research. Unless we are ready with master keywords we can’t do seo for a Website.
  • My next step is to check Google  pagerank, Age of domain, Site’s link popularity and the number of backlinks to your site. This is the most important step.
  • Now I will be checking your site’s competition and search engine results landscape for the chosen master Keywords. In the 2nd step I have researched for 20 master keywords. With these master keywords and keyword phrases I will be searching your website search traffic. Here I will be concentrating not only your site but top 10 sites who comes in Google 1st page for your master keywords. My aim is to get list of all the backlinks who are giving links to top 10 sites for your targeted keywords.

Remember, before we get into competition we need to watch our competitors. What they are doing? From where they are getting links? What’s their link popularity? Their Keyword frequency?  Site’s keyword frequency? Their competitive keyword phrases? And many.. These all main things we have check before we get in to market.

Well, these are the 3 most important things i will be checking out before doing seo for any website. Depending upon keywords and their search results SEO companies charges different prices. Bringing a website page in top 10 from  high competitive search results is really a  tough job. We need different manipulations and techniques to get a site in top 10 results.
You just have a look for this keyword “golf shoes” using google traffic estimator tool.You will come to know that this keyword costs google Adwords advertisers between $900 – $1,500. It means if you are holding any website related to “golf shoes” you need to spend min of 900$x30=2700$ for google adwords advertisement. Now you decide yourself that how much you have to spent for an SEO webmaster to top in google search results for the keyword “golf shoes”.

Normal SEO package looks like this :

Service

Low End

Mid Range

High End

Site Review + Consulting $400 $2,500 $5,000
Hands-On Editing of Pages/Code $1,500 $9,000 $25,000
Manual Link Building Campaign $400 $3,000 $7,000
1-Day SEO Training Seminar $650 $2,000 $8,000
Keyword Research Package $100 $500 $1,100
Viral Content Development + Mktg $800 $7,500 $20,000
Web Design, Development + Mktg $3,000 $20,000 $80K+
Monthly Retainer for Ongoing SEO $2,000 $6,500 $10,000+

Keyword rich content or Quality backlinks

Keyword rich content or Quality backlinks: 

I have seen many people arguing on this topic. Whether Keyword rich content is the best or Website with lots of backlinks? I am asking you same question. Which one is better?

Two weeks back there is an argument between two SEO experts. 1st SEO expert says Content with rich keywords is best. And 2nd SEO expert says Backlinks are enough to rank better ranking position in search engines.

My answer to them: Your job is to write Excellent content .That’s all.. Content is the prime source. Link building is the job which has been done by your content. If your content is good then many links points to your website. This is natural way of Link building. But… Remaining answer will be given at the end of this article.

Linkbuilding or keyword rich content?

 Keyword rich content:

There are many SEO webmasters who are having well experience with on page optimization. You know how to write Keyword rich content. You know how to optimize content. Yes I do agree without on page optimization our website can’t rank for higher search results, but will you guarantee that your website lasts for ever in better ranking position? No you can’t guarantee for this. There is a heavy competition between seo webmasters. If one is well optimizing his site and the other one is doing better optimization than him. On page optimization is nothing but Blogpost optimization and Post title optimization. That’s all. Nothing more than that. This is the thing everyone can do. Every webmaster knows that keyword frequency inside blogpost should maintain between 8-10% and they know How to optimize blogpost title

In my view there are two types of content writers. One is seo based content writer and the other one is Killer content writer. For example bluehatseo.com. I can surely say that he never optimize his blogpost and he never done seo for his site. Still he manages to get 1000′s of links per day. Even this website is getting link from wikipedia. I just want to say that if your website content is kings then dont worry about backlinks. Links automatically comes to you. SEO based content writer cannot hold better position than Killer content writer. He can hold only for few days or periods. But the website with killer content holds for life long.

Link building: 

I have seen in many websites saying Link building is necessary and it must for better search results. Yes I do agree with this statement. Link building is the backbone for our website. Link building is necessary for such kind of bloggers who writes normal posts like me, but not for Bluehatseo. There are much website like labnol, w3schools, seobook who doesn’t really require link building. Many links comes to them only because of their content. but Without link building websites like ours are nothing. For better ranking positions we need seo based content simultaneously with link building. This statement is for us. Once our website becomes popular then we can also stop link building. I just want to say content writers like us are require link building. Without link building how can we approach others that we have written some ‘x’ article?

For example many big companies like benz,suziki etc they never do publicity for their product. Every one knows about their product quality. These companies will get many reviews  free of cost. If benz is coming up with new product bbc and cnn will give free advertisement. But small and new extablish companies will need do publicity. If they feel that their product is not upto their mark then they need to focus on Marketing . I hope you guys have understood the major difference between Seo based content writing and killer content writing.

 Now my answer is: Content is always king. You don’t really need of seo if your website content is king. Natural and quality links will automatically comes to you. If you feel that your website content is not upto mark then you have to get into seo based content with good and quality link building strategy.

 If the argument between Keyword rich content and Quality backlines then my answer is : As a webmaster we need both Keyword rich content and quality backlinks for better ranking positions. 

 If the argument between Killer content and Link building then my answer is : If the content is really Killer then he need not to bother about link building. His content itself builds 1000′s of links without any man work.
