Human life easy with web search engines. But with day to day growth in web,
proper information on the user search query is becoming difficult. User search
some information on the web, search engines results in a large amount of web
pages from his database in response of search related queries. For any user not

Keywords: Seo Techniques, On-page, Keyword Analysis, Meta Tags, Off-page,

Ever since its introduction, the internet has become an important platform for
businesses to interact with their customers. With the number of web users
continuously rising on a daily basis and surpassing half of the earth’s population
in 2017, the need for companies to provide an online presence has become
undeniable. As a result of inherent growth, the internet has been cluttered with
information that inhibits effective navigation and the location of key knowledge.
Therefore, search engines have become increasingly important to access relevant
information with many people utilizing them as a starting point for their web
navigation. An indicator of their success can be seen by the search engine of
Google accomplishing the feat of one billion unique monthly visitors as the first
website in the world in 2011. While searches encompass a broad spectrum, most
commonly researched topics are in relation to products and services underlining
the importance to businesses.

Through the introduction of the Knowledge Graph in 2012, Google has established
further optimization for its search engine and provided an important
technological advancement for the future of information search. Defined as a
database shaped by user searches and keyword applications, this machine
learning technology provides information and recommendations beyond regular
search terms to provide users an all-encompassing overview and incite further
learning. While primarily developed for search enhancements, businesses have

Meerabai institute of technology 13 01521901719


adopted the tool and Knowledge Graphs have evolved to an unknown common
practice utilized in many areas such as Social Media, provision of business
intelligence and voice assistants.

In light of constant changes to search algorithms by search engines and modern


techniques to reach audiences, businesses and marketers need to stay up to date
to stand out from the masses. As such, search engine optimization (SEO), has
become an often-utilized marketing strategy and valuable asset to distinguish
products from competitors by increasing search engine rankings through the use
of specified keywords by website integration. This study focuses on Search
Engine Optimization and the extended connection to Knowledge Graphs. The goal
is to establish a profound overview of commonly utilized techniques in
conjunction with a mostly undervalued topic in current business literature. By
generating insights into current usage of SEO by marketing professionals and
their respective companies, SEO developers can establish links to Knowledge
Graphs and the possibility to increase business visibility and reach.

Research Aim

The aim of this study is to analyze the utilization of SEO and Knowledge Graphs.
Firstly, business practices of SEO are studied. Secondly, research engages
common SEO practices and establishes current and potential usage on Knowledge
Graphs to increase businesses visibility and reach.

Search engine optimization ( SEO )

This section describes the core concepts of SEO: search engine, search engine
optimization, the key methods and White & Black Hat SEO.
1.1.1 Search engine and Search engine result page (SERP)
A web search engine is software, such as Google and Bing, which collects data
from websites that are stored in databases and from there provide the most
relevant result for the searched topic. The search engine shows search engine
result pages (SERPs) consisting of a list of indexed websites for specific keywords.

The highlighted sections on the Google search result page are discussed further:

➢ The search box is the input section of a search engine where users can place
their word, phrase, or sentence. The search can also be made by using a speech
by recording and pressing the microphone image in the right corner of the search
box.

➢ Results information shows the information on the total number of results


relevant to the specific search word or phrase.

➢ Paid advertising is also known as Price-per-click (PPC) shows the results which
are bought by companies from the search engine. This is an advertisement
section where the results are shown based on the variables such as relevancy, bid
amount and click-through rate.

➢ Organic results are appearing in this section exclusively based on their quality
and relevancy.

➢ Google My Business is a tool offered by Google, which helps companies by


giving it a public identity and presence with a listing. The provided information
appears in Google Search and Google Maps.

➢ Knowledge Graph, as already discussed, is an automated summary of


information about the business entity.

Search engines are important, because they offer effective access to a wide range
of topics and information and provide the most relevant search results for the

Meerabai institute of technology 15 01521901719


user. For companies, utilizing search engines in the correct way is vital, since
new customers often enter a company's website through search engines when
searching for information about the product or service.

Meerabai institute of technology 16 01521901719


1.1.2 Introduction

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a process which improves the quantity and
quality of website traffic to a website via search engines and its goal is to achieve
visibility to a website by utilizing the organic search engine results. These results
appear in the non-sponsored section of the SERP and unlike with paid
advertisement, when a user clicks the result and goes to the website, there are no
marketing costs for the specific company.

The importance of having a good place in a SERP on specific terms is undisputed


since users tend to view results only within the first three pages or only the first
page of search results. This possibly means that if the website is not on the first
SERP or in the top 30, it has almost no chance of being clicked by a user.

SEO can be seen as a process of creating a website that ranks effectively for
chosen keywords within the organic search results and simultaneously through
those keywords improving the quality and volume of traffic to the website.

There are multiple ways how to use SEO, and the main ways are related to on and
off-page aspects. With on-page SEO, everything that happens inside the website
and what is controlled by the owner of the website such as the meta description,
heading, content, and images are being measured.

According to Researchers, in order to rank higher and gain meaningful traffic


from the search engines, the website should be user-friendly, provide unique
content and have a well-described meta description. In addition, the longer
content the website has the longer time the user spends to read it which itself
extends the time spent on site. This phenomenon has a tendency to lift the
website higher in search results.

The off-page SEO techniques are mostly related to external aspects that have a
relevant influence on Google ranking. The most efficient factor is the usage of
links, which direct the user to the company’s page. Search engines consider
external links as trustworthy and high-quality which automatically improves the
site ranking.

Meerabai institute of technology 17 01521901719


The equalization of external links is called link building, meaning creating
multiple roads to the site. The other effective off-page factors are blogging and
utilization of social media whose functionality is also based on keyword selection
and link building.

Meerabai institute of technology 18 01521901719


1.1.3 Keyword selection

Keyword selection is one of the most important factors which influence SEO.
Understanding users’ search patterns and trends is crucial when identifying the
demand for specific content and facilitating its improvement. Keywords are the
words which users type into the search box in search engines and these words
are being categorized by Google when crawling and indexing web pages.
Keywords are the main factor that matches the search engine and website
together, meaning that search engine’s algorithms lift pages with correct
keywords on the search result list.

The best keywords for a company depend on the industry itself and which are the
search terms customers use when using search engines. For example, a sports
equipment company should select keywords to cover all the different sport
genres and aim to place as high in SERP as possible. Keywords such as “sport
equipment online” and “sport equipment shop” are too general, so a good way to
improve the listing would be using specific keywords to match the customer's
needs. In conclusion, keywords are the words consumers use when searching
specific things from the internet.

In keyword selection, companies need to identify those words and add those into
their content so the search engines can categorize them based on the coverage
and suitability. Naturally, the more relevant words a company uses, the better
chance it has of rising to the top of the result page and enticing customers to click
on the link to the desired website.

The two most common types of keywords are short and long-tailed keywords,
which both have a specific function and purpose. The short tail keywords are as
the name implies one-word search terms and very popular to use, because of the
multiple daily searches. Because of the high level of searches, the competition
with short tail keywords is tough between the players wanting to rank as high as
possible with the keyword on SERP.

The importance of placing high on search results is apparent since users are
more likely to click the results on the first page. Also, with popular keywords it is

Meerabai institute of technology 19 01521901719


more likely not to convert into sales because users searching with short keywords
are usually mainly looking for information on the topic, product, or service,
rather than making effective decisions.

The long-tail keywords consist of 2 or more descriptive words and are more
customer-focused, with lower competition than short-tail words. Since these are
more specifically searched, they tend to attract more quality customers and
convert more sales.

Long-tail keywords are less used than short-tail keywords, and there are fewer
monthly searches which makes it easier to rank high on SERP since the
competition is lighter. Morevoer, it is more likely for the user who is aiming to
buy a specific product or service to type a long tail keyword, and that can be a
signal of purchase decision.

Meerabai institute of technology 20 01521901719


1.1.4 Black Hat SEO vs. White Hat SEO

There are two types of SEO techniques how the non-sponsored search engine
visibility of the website can be accomplished, designing the site to be more
consumer-friendly or focusing on strategies that influence only the search
engine's quality ranking process. These are called White Hat SEO and Black Hat
SEO.

In the early years of search engines, controlling algorithms was easier which
often led marketers to abuse the search engine in order to improve the ranking of
the site. This Black Hat SEO does not focus on the quality of the website or intends
to chain the internal content to match users’ needs but only intends to “cheat”
search engines to consider so techniques like keyword stuffing, which refers to
placing multiple irrelevant keywords to the site just to boost rankings for those
keywords, excessive tagging, and using unnatural links, are invented to present
the page in good light, but are conflicting the sole purpose of the existence of
search engines.

There are rules, more specifically official guidelines published by the search
engines, which purpose is to clarify the acceptable and undesired techniques and
in serious cases search engines might remove websites which use black hat SEO
activities from the organic list (Le, 2019). Search engines justify this severe
retaliation by claiming that manipulation of search engine results decreases the
level of customer satisfaction and degrades the result of “honest” websites'.

The SEO tactics which follow the guidelines and rules given by search engines
and do not harm the ranking of a website are called White Hat SEO. These
techniques might not give fast results but in the end, slowly improves the SERP
ranking and there is less chance for the website to be declined by the search
engines. In addition, the traffic coming from White Hat SEO to the website is
often better and optimization lasts for a longer duration of time.

The main and most commonly used White Hat SEO tactics are keyword
generation and link exchange. Keywords are the base of SEO which puts weight
on keyword generation. It is a process to choose the most accurate keywords

Meerabai institute of technology 21 01521901719


which will be detected by search engines and which match with the content of
the site. There are multiple online tools, such as Google Ad words keyword tool
and Word trackers, available which generate relevant keywords to match specific
needs.

In conclusion, comparing the White Hat SEO and Black hat SEO together is
obvious that White Hat SEO is more beneficial, since it focuses on the consumer-
satisfaction, drives to improve the actual on-page content and there is less chance
for the website being penalized or banned by search engines.

Meerabai institute of technology 22 01521901719


1.1.5 The benefits of SEO for business

Search engines favor high quality sites by placing them higher on SERP, which
results in more link clicks because of the users’ favoring for links placed on the
top positions.

The one reason why users tend to click links from the list of most “relevant”
search results is also connected to the website quality and brand equity. This
means that in order to keep the constant and quality traffic flowing to the
website, companies should invest in making the site user-friendly and provide
additional value and services to the user.

In the field of digital marketing every process and technique should be


measurable. Several studies have proven the positive effect of SEO on different
markets, over 80% of all website traffic originates on generic search sites such as
Google. This means for companies who do not utilize SEO a huge loss in site
traffic and sales.

There are multiple studies proving the effectiveness of SEO to companies. In the
e-commerce environment, the understanding and utilization of SEO is crucial to
reach and maintain a steady traffic flow to the website. Therefore, it is necessary
for marketers to understand how to develop the marketing strategies including
SEO since they can reacha long-lasting effect on several marketing variables.

In the study, multiple SEO techniques were used, and to prove the positive effect
each individual site’s search engine ranking was measured in each phase of the
project. The results prove the SEO’s effectiveness by seeing the improvement in
search engine ranking, site traffic and improvement in sales.

Recent studies state that every modern company which has an online presence
should include SEO, especially keyword selection, to improve the website's
effectiveness and SERP listing. Companies with clear SEO strategies reached
higher rankings when comparing the new customers, sales, and site traffic.

Some research shows websites that use SEO link building get the most traffic,
better SERP ranking and increased revenue. These results occur exponentially
and gradually, especially when using the White Hat SEO

1.1.6 Impact of SEO on Consumer Behaviour

Consumers have become researches Through convenient access to the


Internet, users are now much more educated and motivated. Every day they are
overwhelmed with digital content. With almost every company now marketing
their products on digitalplatforms, it's more than easy for customers to check
and compare online. Their choice to shop is strongly influenced by the
connections they have with the company and other influencers online. Digital
word of mouth is the most trustworthy word of mouth used to be the most
reliable source of advice that customers believed.

In today's digital world, word of mouth is offered in terms of customer feedback,


influencer suggestions, scores, testimonials, etc. Total customers will insure that
they look at what current brand buyers have to suggest about the product
/ service before making their purchase decisions. Customers are not afraid to
experiment Consumers in the past few days have been very cautious about
modifying the labels they have used all along. But with time, things have
changed.

Now, business thought has grown tremendously. They have become more open to
products and brands that offer better quality than ever before. All this was
feasible only through digital marketing, which made it easier for these new
brands to reach out to consumers.

Consumers often switch brands Brand loyalty has been a big thing in the past. It's
very unusual when you see customers change labels. Today, though,
customers are able to switch brands, because the new one offers better
apps. With a lot of options on the market, customer engagement is
challenging and switching is fast. Customers now have a high level of tolerance
Ultimately, consumers today are not in a mood to negotiate or bargain in any
way. We expect animmediate response to their questions and concerns, if
any. We publicly share their thoughts and perspectives on digital platforms
that.can make or break the reputation of a company in seconds. Generally,
users tend to believe in bad news / feedback readily and only a handful
actually share positive reviews. However, a number of rivals exploit this by

Meerabai institute of technology 24 01521901719


posting negative comments on their company sites from fake accounts. This
can be done through a strong online reputation management (ORM)
approach, where experiences with customers will potentially turn a negative
image into a favorable one.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research is defined as the creation of new concepts, methodologies, and
understandings through the advancement of knowledge or the creative
implementation of existing knowledge.The aim of research is to use the scientific
method to find solutions to intellectual and practical issues. Research is a
systematic effort to learn something new. Research is a method of gathering and
analyzing data in order to gain a better knowledge of a topic that we are worried
about or interested in.

Methodology is a method for handling a research problem in a methodical


approach. It can be thought of as a science that studies how scientific research is
carried out. A step-by-step analysis of a problem is known as research
methodology.

The procedures or techniques used to find, select, process, and analyze


information about a topic are referred to as research methodology. The
methodology component of a research article allows the reader to critically
examine the study's overall validity and accuracy. The practical "how" of any
piece of research is referred to as research methodology. It's about how a
researcher designs a study in a systematic way to produce accurate and reliable
results that address the study's aims and outcomes.

How did the researcher make his or her decision, for example?

➢ What data to gather (and what data to reject)

➢ Who to collect it from (this is referred to as "sampling design" in research)

describe the characteristics of the variables under study. This methodology
focuses on answering questions relating to “what” than the “why” of the research
subject. Descriptive research is called an observational research method as none
of the variables in the study are influenced during the process of the research.

2. Explanatory research design : Explanatory research design uses the ideas and
thoughts of a researcher on one subject to be the guiding point for future studies,
it is also used in exploring theories further. The research focuses on explaining
the unexplored patterns of a phenomena and elaborate on the details pertaining
to the research questions such as; what, why, and how.

Types of casual research

strategy that incorporates repeated observations of the same variables (e.g.,
people) over short or long time periods (i.e., employs longitudinal research).

b. Cross-sectional research is a sort of observational study that examines data on


variables collected at one moment in time across a sample population or a pre-
defined subgroup. Cross-sectional analysis, transversal study, and prevalence
study are all terms used to describe this study style.

c. Cause and effect research: A cause and effect relationship is one in which one
thing is the cause of the other data. It's usually an observational research,
although it can also be a case study. Longitudinal randomized experiments were
used to structure the study.

3. Exploratory research design : It is defined as a research used to investigate a


problem which is not clearly defined. It is conducted to have a better
understanding of the existing problem, but will not provide conclusive results.

Meerabai institute of technology 33 01521901719

CHAPTER - 3
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

Meerabai institute of technology 46 01521901719


ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

DATA ANALYSIS

Data analysis is defined as a process of cleaning, transforming, and modeling


data to discover useful information for business decision-making. The purpose of
Data Analysis is to extractuseful information from data and take the decision
based upon the data analysis. A simple example of Data analysis is whenever an
individual take any decision in his day-to-day life by thinking about what
happened last time or what will happen by choosing that particular decision.
This is nothing but analyzing the past or future and making decisions based on it.
For that, he gather memories of past or dreams of the future. So that is nothing
but data analysis. Now the same thing an analyst does for business purposes is
called Data Analysis.

DATA INTERPRETATION

Data Interpretation is the process of making sense out of a collection of data that
has been processed. This collection may be present in various forms like bar
graphs, line charts and tabular forms and other similar forms and hence needs
an interpretation of some kind. It is to learn about data interpretation with the
help of many important techniques and examples.

It is to see how to make sense out of the graphical data and other forms of it and
to learn to use it to solve the most common questions that are present in this
section of the quantitative aptitude.

Data Interpretation means understanding, organizing, and interpreting given


data, as to get meaningful conclusions. Usually all government competitive
examinations devote an independent complete section based on data
interpretation questions. For instance, when Founders present their pitches to his

Meerabai institute of technology 47 01521901719


or her potential investors, they do that by interpreting the data such as market
size, growth rate, and so on for better understanding. There are two principal
methods in which data interpretation can be done, such as quantitative methods
and qualitative methods.

QUALITATIVE DATA INTERPRETATION METHOD

The qualitative data interpretation method is used to analyze qualitative data,


which is often termed as categorical data. This approach uses texts, rather than
numbers or patterns to represent data.

Qualitative data requires first to be coded into numbers before it can be


analyzed. As the texts are usually cumbersome and take more time. Coding done
by the analyst is also documented so that it can be reused by others and also
examined further. There are two main types of qualitative data, such as nominal
and ordinal data. These two data types are both performed using the same
method, but ordinal data interpretation is easier than that of nominal data.

In most of the cases, ordinal data is usually labelled with numbers throughout the
process of data collection, and so many times coding may not be required. This is
different from nominal data that still requires to be coded for proper
interpretation.

QUANTITATIVE DATA INTERPRETATION METHOD

The quantitative data interpretation method is used to analyze quantitative data,


which is also termed as numerical data. This data type includes numbers and is
therefore can be analyzed with the help of numbers and not texts.

Quantitative data can be categorized into two main types, such as discrete and
continuous data. Continuous data is further divided into interval data and ratio
data, with all the data types being numeric.

Almost all the website owners are running in the race to achieve a higher ranking
in search engines. In this competitive world, everyone is struggling to find the
spot for their business. The digitization of the business has become mandatory.

Meerabai institute of technology 48 01521901719


The task doesn’t end with the development of the website. Individual have to
adopt various digital marketing strategies to increase the visibility of the
business.

The search engine optimization is the most common tactic that is can bring a
huge amount of significant traffic to your website. Those who are seriously
engaged in the practice of search engine optimization have witnessed the
versatile results on their website. There is no denial in the fact that SEO can give
the effective results in a short period of time if it is done properly.

Meerabai institute of technology 49 01521901719


OBJECTIVE - 1

To increase the brand awareness and recognition.

The businesses who are willing to populate the search results with relevant and
positive links. The use of SEO enables this process with the help of content
creation and its promotion through link building. Reputation management is
considered as one of the most challenging tasks of search engine optimization.
This practice involves the optimization of pages on different domains. It uses
various social media profiles, public relations, press releases, etc for this task.

A less popular but equally powerful application of SEO is to use it for branding
purposes. Bloggers, social media websites, content producers, news outlets and
dozens of other web publishing archetypes have found tremendous value in
appearing atop search results and using the resulting exposure to bolster their
brand recognition and authority. The process is fairly simple - much like
traditional advertising's goals of ad repetition to enter a buyer's consideration set,
so to do online marketers observe that a website's pages consistently at the top of
search rankings around a particular subject has a positive impact on traffic,
consideration and perceived authority.

The branding is closely related to creating brand awareness and recognition.


Individual must have noticed that the websites which remain at the top of the
search engine ranks get more traffic and popularity. These websites use this
exposure to bolster the brand recognition and authority of their brand.

Meerabai institute of technology 50 01521901719


OBJECTIVE - 2

To know how websites operate in terms of generating traffic.

The higher the site appears in search engine results, the more traffic it will get.
The top three sites are the most visible, and also seen as more credible and
trustworthy than those that rank lower. Achieving these spots requires strong
SEO.

If anyone want to get more from their site, optimize it for keywords that are
relevant to their potential customers. Identify the search terms that generate the
most clicks and include them naturally in your tags and content. But don’t just
focus on number of clicks—focus on the terms that yield visitors who take the
next step.

Traffic is important, but one need to focus on the quality of new leads as well as
the quantity if they want to reach your marketing goals.

Optimizing a site for search engines and creating keyword targeted content
produces direct traffic from the engines, which typically expands into content
sharing, direct traffic and referring links as more and more people find, use and
enjoy the work you've produced. There are thousands of sites on the web that
leverage this traffic to serve advertising, directly monetizing the traffic sent from
the engines. From banner ads to contextual services like Google's AdWords to
affiliate programs and beyond, web advertising has become a massive ($25B+
according to eMarketer) industry.

• When to Employ

Used when an individual monetize traffic without actions or financial


transactions on his site (usually through advertising).

• Keyword Targeting

Any and all - the goal here isn't typically to select specific keywords, but instead
to create lots of high quality content that naturally targets interesting/searched-

Meerabai institute of technology 51 01521901719


for terms. Instead of singular optimization on specific terms, the focus is on
accessibility and best practices throughout the site to earn traffic through both
high volume and long tail queries. Concentrate efforts on great content, and use
keyword-based optimization only as a secondary method to confirm the
titles/headlines of the works you create.

• Page & Content Creation/Optimization

A shallow, highly crawlable link structure is critical to getting all the content
indexed - follow good information architecture practices and use intelligent,
detailed category and sub-category structures to get the most benefit out of the
work. One should also need to employ good on-page optimization (titles,
headlines, internal linking, etc) and make the articles easy to share and optimized
for viral spreading.

Meerabai institute of technology 52 01521901719


OBJECTIVE - 3

To Increase E-commerce sales.

If the company deals in e-commerce sales, then there is SEO for direct
monetization that it need to optimize for.

The product descriptions and names can be improved to meet direct search
queries and help drive sales by ranking high on search engine results pages.
While this space is extremely competitive, it can also be incredibly beneficial and
lucrative. The linking structure and content plans can address high-value
keywords that relate to products you sell. And if someone build enough authority,
they can bring in customers through SEO searches to his e-commerce stores.

How to increase sales through SEO?

1. Be Keyword Clever - Google AdWords is a great place to start with keyword


research, but there are plenty of other keyword planning tools out there to use.
Don’t forget about longtail keywords as well, because half of all search queries
are four-plus words in length, there's less competition for these phrases, and they
have higher conversion rates. When an individual have the right keywords in his
toolbox, it will help them connect with prospects who are looking to buy what is
being sold.

2. Create Stellar Content - When prospects search the internet for information
about a product or service similar to what you offer, they'll come across social
media posts, blogs, web pages, and other content that was designed to answer
their questions, provide information, and otherwise facilitate a purchasing
decision. When an individual work to have the best, most relevant, most
engaging, and most authoritative content on the internet, prospects will find their
brand before all others, and this gives an opportunity to build relationships and
convert leads into customers.

Great content comes in many forms, and the goal should be cultivating and
creating content in a variety of them, including:

Meerabai institute of technology 53 01521901719


• Blogs

• Video (which can boost organic search results by 50 times more than text-based
content)

• Infographics

• Podcasts

• Animations

3. Go Local and Go Mobile - Two of the most significant changes to SEO best
practices that have arisen in recent years are the emphasis on mobile and local
content, and the two go hand in hand. Local SEO is becoming increasingly
important as more consumers use mobile devices to search for businesses
because 30% of all mobile searches performed today have a local intent.
Moreover, over 70% of people will visit a nearby business after conducting a local
search, so if an individual want to drive business to his physical or E-commerce
store, then he must focus on local content (including local keywords and landing
pages), and have to make sure your digital footprint is entirely mobile-friendly.

4. Develop an Integrated Strategy to Keep You on Track

When someone want SEO to work for them, it can't be something it do part-time
or with minimal effort. To boost sales with SEO, one must have to be intelligent
with and dedicated to efforts, and that means having a solid strategy that
integrates all the components discussed here today. To accomplish this, one must
need a team in place that's familiar with SEO best practices and who can examine
the company goals to create and implement a long-term strategy that will help to
achieve them.

Here are three most crucial methods for turning web presence into a steady
source of extra income.

• Sell Own Digital Product - One must have the potential to make the most money
on a per sale basis when he can sell directly. That’s because there’s no middle-
man or person in between him and the buyer that’s taking a ‘cut’ from the money
earned.

Meerabai institute of technology 54 01521901719


• Pay Per Click Advertising - AdWords are the advertisements that show up on the
top of Google search result pages. AdSense is the reverse, allowing publishers
(which includes bloggers and other website owners like yourself) to tap into
Google’s immense advertising network so that other advertisers can run ads on
their website.

• Affiliate Marketing - Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways to


make money from own website or blog. Start by finding a product that is best
suited. Then at own website, individual endorse the product and promote it to his
website visitors and email subscribers. If the product or service resonates with
these people, people will click on his affiliate link, purchasing the product.

Meerabai institute of technology 55 01521901719


OBJECTIVE - 4

invest his time into, and there are a variety of ways to take advantage of the
practice.

Here are three key types of SEO that one can get started on.

a page. Make sure meta titles and meta descriptions include relevant content and

Meerabai institute of technology 57 01521901719


keyword phrases to have a better chance at ranking higher. It’s important to note
that Google also sometimes rewrites our metadata with other copy on the page,
which makes it important to ensure whole page is optimized.

• Perform internal linking – Internal links are URLs that link to other pages on
own website. Often, individual will attach these to anchored text. Insert links on
targeted keywords in copy and link to high-authority pages to better help Google

Incorporating on-page SEO into marketing efforts is helpful for search engines to
understand the content on the site. And once Google understands the website, it

queries generally have greater search engine visibility than pages that contain
little or no keywords. The way your web pages are linked to each other also
affects your site's search engine visibility. If search engine spiders can find your
pages quickly and easily, your site has a much better chance of appearing at the
top of search results. Sometimes, a popular web site will consistently rank higher
than sites that use plenty of keywords. Therefore, building a site that appeals to
both directory editors and your target audience is very important for maximum
search engine visibility.

RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Use Keywords In The Right Places - You probably already know that you should
add keywords to pages that you want to rank. where you use your keywords is
just as important as how many times you use them.Specifically, you want to make
sure that your keyword appears at least once in your page’s title tag.

2. Keep Users On Your Site Longer - Pogosticking can make or break your Google
rankings. Pogosticking is when a Google user clicks on your site then pogosticks
back to the search results to find something that actually helps them. And when
someone pogosticks, it sends a strong message to Google: “I didn’t like that result.”

Needless to say: if your site doesn’t make users happy, Google will downrank you.

3. Speed Up Your Website - Having a slow website can hurt your Google rankings.
Google’s “Speed Update” specifically downranks pages that load slowly on mobile
devices.

4. Publish Unique Content Consistently to Improve SEO - Unique content is one of


the factors that affect this freshness score, and, consequently, the search engine
rankings for that specific page. Therefore, the easiest way to optimize your
freshness score is by creating content consistently.

5. Don’t Change Your Domain Name Regularly - The age of a domain or web page
is also one of the top SEO tips you should keep in mind. Indeed, it’s crucial for
your success.

For this reason, don’t constantly change your domain name. Pick one and stick
with it, unless there’s a very good reason to change.

That does happen — just don’t make it a regular practices.
