Submitted by webmaster on Fri, 04/18/2008 - 10:17.
Ok, so we are tried of the same old articles about Search engine optimization with out the examples and demostrations..
Straightalk CMS website Hosting and services will break the rules and provide You and Illustration and some easy to follow instruction for realizing a good Search engine optimization technique!
Before I begin I want to point out that this is One of the best forms to get listed onto SERPs page.
This is an example of a website source code:
Right above your HTML entry tag you want to insert a proper DOC type. You can do this by visiting: w3c.org . There are 3 main DOC types {html 4.01, Xhtml 1.0, DTDs} {except the latter which consist of individual sets for each DOC type} and each carry 3 types of restrictions (strict, transitional, loose) . Ok, lets work with the HTML or Xhtml types for now.. your website should carry one of these on the very first line of the Source code.
- HTML 4.01 DOC Types
- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
- XHTML 1.0 DOC Types
- <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
TIP: Sorry if I've confused you with the wide variety of DOC Types out there. Don't though, you'll probably turn out to only use (1) one DOC type for all your websites needs. However I'll like to show the main differences between these two types.
An HTML DOC type is great but Xhtml is better since the internet is on a continuos change and Xhtml was the last one introduced! Strict code can be better than Loose code simply because it keeps the website looking the same through out all browser types..
If you added the Xhtml DOC type you'll need to modify the HTML tag <html>. It should now look like this.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
for HTML DOC types leave it as is a simple <html> tag.
HEAD Tag - <head>: The Head tag is where the CSS, Title, and Javascripts are located. Your CSS is number one to this list. Why because it will be the first thing populated and viewers can see content before the entire website is served.
Alright now we have the TITLIE Tag - <title>, many might be wondering what can I probably say about the title tag that has not been said on the Internet yet..
To be completely honest, I have no suprise for this one! My only advise for the Title tag would be to pick words that are listed in Your META Keyword and Discription tags. By combining these keywords you can create a readable sentence that will be good for Humans and also for Search engines.
About using META Tags. Meta tags was the way to get a website indexed by the (3) three main Search engines. But now in 2008 this has become sort of the past in Search engine optimizing. Thruth about it is that many search engines still uses this method for indexing websites.
<meta name="DESCRIPTION" content="Discribe you website content here. Be sure to place as many keywords possible into this tag and don't use [dots, commas, just words]. Also keep it down to 200 characters including spaces.">
<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="Well it's obvious Keywords, Keywords. Try and keep your keywords down to 10 15 words depending on size of the words and up too 200 characters.">
Close your HEAD Tag like this --> </head>
The BODY Tag - <body> starts of the content for the website. Anything placed between the opening and closing BODY Tags will be the content visible to your website viewers.
With-in the BODY Tag you also need to place <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6>. These are Heading tags you should use them in a order and only once. Technically speaking we should have only 6 paragraphs in a website.
Last we have the <strong> and the <em> tags. These have been known as the Bold tag <b> & Emphesis tag <i>. These two tags are used and have great influence in Search engine optimization techniques. All you have to do is label primery keywords with them.
