Create a SiteMap that helps Customers & Search Engines

PageRank is relative and is shared throughout a website by a unique voting system created by Google in it own rights. It is very important to have an efficient navigation throughout your site. The navigation which generally you have on you website gives a road for your customers to visit next page.. But to have all the links on the top menu or left menu is almost next to impossible for many sites and that is where a SiteMap comes in to play. SiteMaps allow the crawlers to easily note down the links on your website and then index all of them. Also important is updation of the Sitemap, dont just upload and forget it but also update it whenever you site links are updated.

Keywords in File Names

Whenever possible use keywords in the file names. Ex: a file that have the details on website developing prices can be saved as "website_developing_prices.htm" rather then saving it as "web.htm" or "price.htm" . This also gives benefit in improving the density of keywords used in a webpage and hence in better ranking.

Position of links

As we all know search engines does not go by design but it crawls the code. Hence the links that are found earlier on the html code will be valued better. Therefore a link on the header will have more value than a link on the footer the webpage. Always try placing you important links on top or above all other secondary links on that webpage.

Link Popularity Trend !

Get links from other websites to your website (backlinks) on a steady pace. Getting it on a regular and normal basis will give you good marks and hence improve your rankings. But any immediate increase in the backlinks may take search engines by surprise and hence flag your website as spam.

How to use Title tag on all pages

Do not use the exact same title tag on every page on your website. Search engine robots might determine that all your pages are the same if all your title tags are the same. If this happens, your pages might not get indexed. It is a good practice to use your heading of that page as the title tag to help robots know exactly what the page is all about. A good place to insert the headline is within the h1 tag. So the headline is the same as the title tag text.
