<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt all started with Larry and Sergey creating a PageRank, most of the websites are ranked based on so many factors (Google supposedly have over 200 rankings factors) and quality of the page, it’s authority and responsiveness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you can see here while reading this article, content is one of the most important factors, after all, every search engine today is still keyword based tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You cannot be found if your website is empty, has no any technical quality, speed and if you are not giving any value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SEO works like this, it all starts with you, creating something useful and then notifying search engines about your work. Every search engine has it’s own “spiders”, crawling the web and “jumping” or “following” links found on the page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After spider visits your page, he crawls every link, text, image, social links, comments and everything your have visible on your page, he collects that info and sends it back to the search engine servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Based on the ranking factors, your website gets something like a “PageRank”, the term was created by Google in order to rank sites based on number of links pointing to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today we don’t know exactly if the links are still the main ranking factor but we can follow the guidelines provided by Google and other search engines in order to improve the quality of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The more you “optimize” your website or a blog<\/a>, the better chance you have to outrank your competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end, every search engine tends to serve quality pages to their end users in order to improve it’s quality and of course increase overall revenue numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What you give in, is what you will get back in return, remember that when doing search engine optimization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on the platforms, programmings language your website is created on, it covers all kinds of different activites. Usually to do SEO you will need to cover two main factors: ON Site SEO and OFF Site SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technical\/ onsite optimization<\/strong> – Improving your internal link structure, navigation, writing relevant content, optimization of the titles, descriptions, images and of course last but not least technical improvements. Backlinks<\/strong> – One of the most important off site SEO factor are backlinks, in my years of experience working with SEO clients there is always a big task to finish it the backlinks area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Content <\/strong>– Content marketing is the second main factor when it comes to doing proper SEO. Essentially this is the process of finding similar quality sites from your niche and writing a guest post with the link in return to your own page or your clients page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Social<\/strong> – building your brand on social media, connecting with your users and getting social signals like shares, tweets and mentions are one of the main and fastest boost toward better positions on search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But remember this, growing organically is always the best way to go, building links is not something any search engine would appreciate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you force the growth, you will fall in the blackhat seo category and the penalty is inevitable. Grow slow and grow organically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ow, I really like this part, and I bet you will enjoy it as much as I’m going to enjoy explaining and spilling the secrets of a successful SEO “experts” doing everything by the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, there are three types of SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n White hat SEO<\/strong> – type of SEO where everything is dones by the “book”and by following the rules of the SEO community and big search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Black hat SEO<\/strong> – optimization activities involving shady tricks in order to gain competitive advantage over your rankings competitors. Everything learned in white hat seo has it’s own black hat version of things. (MOST DANGEROUS APPROACH TO SEO)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grey hat SEO<\/strong> – experimental SEO activites involving a mixture of white hat and black hat SEO in order to cut the ranking curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the upcoming articles I’m going to write about every possible type of SEO and what many people did and case studies where some got caught and penalized and of course of the hard working white hat SEO techniques still working today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to stay at the top of my game, I need to read and experiment daily when it comes to search engine optimization and improving the positions of my clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is the sort list of SEO resources that I visit daily in order to see what’s going on in the SEO industry:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google wemaster central blog<\/a> – google blog where you can read anything and everything related to this biggest search giant and all of their changes related to SEO and quality of search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MOZ<\/a> – I remember starting with SEO, moz was one of the main and only quality SEO resource blog, the great Rand Fishkin and his Whiteboard friday videos helped me a lot. Moz is actually a marketing company with it’s own SEO tools built to help you learn and grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other SEO resources blogs: How to do SEO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
