These seven tips will help you become a leader by upgrading your SEO and promotion in 2013:
1. Create interactive, attractive, user-friendly website with minimal loading time
Before we talk about how to stay in first place in the search results, we need to consider how to get the most from a single visitor. This means increasing your conversion coefficient with:
- Attractive website design
- Interactive elements that keep the user from feeling passivity
- "giving site visitors the opportunity to leave a comment or earn points and participate in forum discussions, create groups or “Pinterest "(* add an image and placing it in a thematic collection), use a wiki, and other tools for the development of social structures
- Building a minimum load of the web so that users do not leave it without waiting for a full load
- Removal of clutter on the site, so users are not distracted by trivia
- Removing as many extra steps in the registration process, or making a purchase.
2. Do not forget the Panda
Online store is especially susceptible to updates Panda, as they are directed to the content. In many ways, Panda handles all the network as if it is composed of blogs, video, and content created for entertainment and information. Panda is designed to act on sites that do not solve the problem of users or too accentuated for advertising.
E-commerce sites can suffer because of their commercial nature. They are easy to resemble small affiliate sites and as a result may lose search shows. What Internet shops do to prevent this?
· do not use a formulaic description of the product, which is provided either by the manufacturer or developed at home;
· Each product must contain their own content. This is where a user who generates the content can be particularly useful;
· if you can not create unique content for each product, then it is a good idea to focus on creating a unique and useful content on category pages
· Consider the option of creating a blog on your website. If the search results are moving in the direction of content, it is better to go with this flow than to fight it. This can be a good way of attracting and retaining links customer base.
3. Do not overuse the keywords
If you want the page to take a position on a specific key these days, all that is needed - is to make sure that the page contains information about the key, and the search engine to process a sufficient amount of text. If you insert the key in the title, description, content, alt tag, and you use an excessive amount of links on your page, Google becomes clear that your site is to search engines, but not for users.
Still remains a good idea to use your key or something similar to it in the title of your tag, but beyond that it is generally a good practice to forget all about it, it will not bring any positive effect, and the term "keyword density" is already a thing of the past.
As Google moves away from the links and keywords and sent to the statistics and co-citation, site owners need to focus on providing users with as much useful information as to focus on the use of keys. Search engines are well-filtered data and draw conclusions about the relevance and legitimacy of your pages on your website.
