2 Types of SEO
1st is On Page (All work is to be done on your website or say on home page, i.e. all in-house)
Page 1
2nd is Off Page (All below are external and increases popularity & credibility of your business)
As already said above that good & generic content is a must good regarding SEO tactics, there are
also some rules, tips or say techniques which you can apply in order to boost the SEO.
2.) At Google
Hence, to start with, first you need to understand some terminologies which appears at Google.
They are as follows…
All in all, a novice just need to understand these 4 terminologies mentioned above
Meta Description lets the visitor to know / read a brief intro (what it is all about)
about your website or web page at Google
Page 2
3.) At Your Website Page
Now then, How and where to set the things mentioned above at our end (website / web page) so
that the desired purpose of SEO can get accomplished. To start with, find these 2 blocks / lines of
HTML code at your web page…
<title> …. </title>
This is the value which appears at Google as the main heading
Page 3
Now then, three more blocks to focus on your website page
In total, it means main heading of the page. It should contain these charactersticks…
Now it is your/our turn to write the matching KEYWORDS at your/our website page, so that
whenever any one at GOOGLE searches for something by writing the KEYWORD, then GOOGLE
knows that this KEYWORD is located at your/our website page and hence your/our websitecan
appear at GOOGLE SEARCH RESULT PAGE also known as SERP i.e. Search engine results page
1.) Suppose our website is related with software agency based in Texas, USA
2.) Now at our website page, we wrote meta keywords block like this…
3.) Now if someone at GOOGLE, types “software company in texas”, then in results page, our
website can appear (based on rankings) because this keyword is matching with the keyword
wriiten at our website page
3 is Page content is the area in which you writes the details about the topic (heading of the
page). It is the most important part and GOOGLE gives it the topmost priority in terms of searching.
• Content ( text, graphics and links ) is the king and has the top most priority
• Use primary & secondary keyword a few times throughout this area (SYNONYMS and
PLURALS as well )
• Divide your content into short paragraphs & small statements so as to make it more
readable & understandable
• There are as many opinions about keyword density by SEO experts. Some say, keyword
density should be 5% and some say it should be 20%. You can go with 10% which is good
enough. Here, density means “how much times the main KEYWORD is appearing”
• Try to bold or underline the keyword at least once
• Having keywords in the first heading and in the first paragraph (first 20 words or so) on a
page are best
