When you create a website, you’re not doing it for the sake of having virtual space. You’re building it to run a business; to earn an income.

So what you need is a massive audience. You achieve this type of audience when you manage to increase organic traffic towards your website.

What is Organic Traffic?

While many internet marketers, SEO strategists, bloggers, etc. might be familiar with organic traffic, there are still newbies entering the internet industry with little to no knowledge of what organic traffic is.

So, for those individuals, organic traffic is defined below:

Organic traffic is free traffic originating from search engines such as Google. It’s the best traffic to receive because it means your website is actually being visited by people interested in your product or service.

With organic traffic, there’s no need to pay for your site to be listed. Instead, use the appropriate long tail keywords and a brilliant SEO strategy to increase traffic to your website.  

Tips on Increasing Organic Website Traffic

Whether you’re an internet newbie or veteran, the following tips will increase organic traffic to your website:

• Choose long tail keywords appropriate for your content: When you place long tail keywords throughout your web content, search engines will list your website on its results pages whenever web visitors search for your particular keywords.

That’s why it’s important to choose long tail keywords instead of short keywords. For long tail keywords will have a better combination of the words searchers type into the search engines.

• Participate in social media: Whether you use Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or even the latest craze, Pinterest, is entirely up to you. Just use these social networks to increase organic traffic towards your site.

Keep the internet world up to date on all the latest details happening at your web address via social media.

• Keep your website’s content fresh: When you keep the content on your website updated, search engines consider this a good step towards targeting visitors to your site; thus, causing your site to become indexed. In return, you’ll see higher rankings.

• Increase organic traffic by building links: Links are favorable in Google’s eyes. They’re viewed as evidence that your site is popular and important to people.

• Submit to link directories: Link directories such as Google and DMOZ.org can generate some traffic to your domain. If you have a blog, submit it to blog directories such as Technorati and Blog Catalog.

Now that you know how to increase organic traffic to your website, get started in building your audience now!

I get asked this frequently – what works with SEO?  And the flip side to that coin, around what to avoid.  Before we start looking at some of these factors, it’s very important that you remember that for any given search algorithm, there are hundreds (or more) of factors at play to determine rankings.  No list can encompass them all, partly because of readability, but mostly because it’s proprietary information.

Additionally, factors can be relative.  If factor A is at a certain level, then factors B and C contribute accordingly.  If factor A’s value drops or increases, that causes changes to how the signals from B and C are integrated and thus the final result changes – sometimes minutely, sometimes dramatically.  It's a bit like a manual transmission in a car.  You can travel at 40 mph using 1st gear, 2nd gear or 3rd.  Still the same 40 mph, but due to the different gear ratios engaged with each individual selection (1st, 2nd or 3rd gear), the engine speed will vary, while maintaining that 40 mph.

In fact, it’s worth noting that instead of chasing SEO at the on page and technical levels, many would be better served by trying to influence people to impact some of those important signals and factors.  Rather than try to guess at information which is not ever shared, turning to working on influencing people and developing a repeatable pattern that works, is often a better bet.

If you can influence visitors to your site to share a link or tweet about your product by placing relevant social sharing options in the best locations (which you determine through testing, not guessing), you not only get the value of their efforts and actions directly (their friends seeing it and clicking through to you), but you also reap the rewards of how those signals impact the search algorithms.  In the end, you have discovered a process that’s repeatable as well – if you post a positive, funny article, for example, more people share it.  The process then becomes: write positive, funny article, post, use optimized social sharing option placements.

And that is infinitely easier to figure out than to try to guess what’s going on inside an engine’s algorithm.

But what things matter?  Well, let’s look at the common things, many of which are often overlooked or shortcuts taken.

What to pay attention to:

•     Title tags
•     Meta Descriptions
•     Clean URLs
•     Images and Alt descriptions (also called alt tags)
•     H1 tags
•     Rel=Canonical
•     Robots.txt
•     Sitemaps
•     Social sharing options
•     Unique content
•     Depth of content
•     Matching content type to visitor expectations (text, images, video, etc.)
•     Usability Page load times (to a certain point – faster is great, but not at the expense of usability and usefulness)
•     Crawlability (AKA discoverability, so can we actually get to all your content)
•     News – if you are actually a new site, submit for inclusion

What to skip:

•   Meta Keywords (fill them in if you like, keep it short and relevant, but not a big ranking factor)
•     Duplicate URLs
•     Overly long URLs (no set number, but you’ve all seen these)
•     Cloaking (comes down to your intent, but risky business for sure)
•     Link buying
•     Selling links
•     Link and like farms
•     Three way links
•     Content duplication content
•     Auto following in social media

These list are, as suggested at the start of this article, not full lists.  These lists are also not in any particular order, as what matters in one instance will differ from other instances.  Some items will apply to you, some might not.  Some you may know already, others you may need to research to learn more about.  And taking something like H1 tags from the “pay attention to list” and saying “Yeah, we have those” does not mean you’re done.  You have to understand why an H1 tag is important to a reader, and earn how to write optimized content for them.  Just “having” a tag in place doesn’t mean yours are doing everything they can for you.

Ten SEO Mistakes

Here are the top ten erroneous tactics on my SEO list of shame. Employ these at your website’s peril!

1 Keyword stuffing

I can’t think of anything worse than poorly put together website copy. Website copy that is repeated over and over again just looks poor. I'm sure you hate to see bad website copy too.

Did you see what I did there? I’m not that bad a writer; I’m just making a point.

Keyword stuffing refers to the shady tactic of stuffing a web page full of words and phrases in an attempt to manipulate a site’s rankings in Google’s search results.

Repeating a word or phrase intentionally won’t boost your rankings. You’ll attract Google for sure, swiftly followed by a kick down the results pages.

2 Broken links

A broken link is the name given to a hyperlink that no longer points to its intended destination. You’ve been won over by an article’s sales spiel and you’re desperate to see what’s on the other side of the link, like the example below:

Obviously anybody in their right mind would click a link that promised to make look 10 years younger, and then, argh! It’s broken!

Sites naturally accumulate broken links: however they’re a major nuisance to your visitors and Google doesn’t like them either. But, if they’re so natural, why does Google penalize you for them?

It’s because bad links will earn you a bad reputation. And people with online reputations aren't viewed as authorities on anything (apart from getting bad reputations, that is).

Anyway, Google downgrades rankings of sites with lots of issues like this, so don’t be a rebel without a cause. Do some regular housekeeping on your site.

3 Copied copy

Do you remember instances from your school days when a student copied another student’s work? It was considered the sin of all sins. There were sharp intakes of breath when little Johnny cheats-a-lot stole Perfect-Pat-with-a-cherry-on-top’s work.

When performing SEO audits for clients’ websites it’s common to find that another website has ripped off all of their original content. Or worse still, it’s the other way round.

Crafting unique, compelling copy can seem like a tall order. But stealing it from a competitor is not only illegal: Google can push your site so far down the rankings that no-one will ever find it, and in severe cases, de-index the whole website, so just don’t do it.

4 Duplicate content

I’m talking about duplication within your own site, not stealing copy from other websites. Duplication happens in a number of forms so I’ve separated two of the most common types below.

Luckily these issues are easily solved, so don’t take an axe to your site just like that!

4 Duplicate content that appears in more than one location

This type of duplication is detrimental to SEO, but often happens on large sites or ecommerce sites that have several pages listing the same set of products. Multiple pages with the same content present a search engine with a number of problems:

• Which version should I retrieve for the search query?
• Which versions should I include/exclude from my indices?
• Which version should I direct the link juice to? Or should I just spread it across the variations?

All of the above can cause lower rankings and a loss in traffic.

The most effective method to combat this is to implement 301 redirect rules from the lower quality pages to the preferred web page.

Non unique title tags and meta descriptions

This is a repeat offender. I regularly see websites with the same page titles on many, if not all of their web pages.

Sometimes CMSs (content management systems like Drupal and Joomla) auto-generate page titles, but that doesn’t mean you should let this continue. Many SEOs will tell you the title tag is one of the most important on-page SEO factors. Because it’s true!

Page titles should be unique and reflect the content of the web page so that:

• A search engine crawler can index it correctly
• It tells a searcher that your content is relevant to what they're looking for
• It makes sense and looks click-worthy in tweets

Also, you shouldn’t overlook meta descriptions. They’re your web page’s sales pitch in the search results, so you should aim to make these as persuasive and descriptive as possible within the 160 character limit.

5 Links from non-credible sources

Links to your site are like votes of confidence. Imagine George Foreman telling you that you have a pretty good right hook. You’d feel like a champ. It’s a real compliment coming from someone who actually knows a thing or two about boxing.

This is the type of quality that you should focus your link building efforts on. Although it’s highly unlikely that I, a seven stone female, would be a good match for a heavyweight champion, it will be a lot easier for you to get a link from a credible source related to your industry.

Although links from quality sites are harder to get than links from directories, quantity should not be a substitute for quality. A link from an authoritative blog is more likely to boost your rankings and traffic than a couple of hundred links from low quality sources.

6 Meta keyword tags

Webmasters who still use meta keywords are like someone insisting their nylon tracksuit is a credible fashion statement. At one point, long ago, search engine algorithms took meta keywords into account, but now they have a negligible impact on SEO.

Meta keywords can be found in the header element in a website’s HTML code:

They’re an inadvertent way of publicizing your digital strategy to rivals who can take the keywords, input them into a pay per click campaign and steal your visits, so don't use them. Ever.

7. Avoiding analytics

After you’ve implemented your terrible tactics, why not neglect to measure your website’s data?

Seriously, if you’re not measuring your website’s data then you cannot possibly have any business objectives. Surely you’ll want to know which areas of your site are performing well and not so well in order to grow and optimize your site better?

Setting up conversion goals and weekly reports are only the beginning. You’ll need to monitor which phrases are converting, rather than terms that are driving most traffic.

Make sure you have Google Analytics and Google Webmaster Tools configured to your website, so you’re able to analyze your data in specific detail.

8. Not optimized with the right keywords

Once you’ve built your website or blog, you’ll need to populate your pages with words that not only suit the purpose of your site and match the products you sell: they should also be the words that reflect what people actually type into search engines.

So if you’re a party planner, for example, you probably don’t want to describe yourself as an “organizer of social gatherings” on your site. To make sure that you're using the keywords that people are actually search with, check out the Wordtracker Keyword Tool

It may seem obvious to write website copy that will reflect your customers' vocabulary, but you’d be surprised how many companies try to rank for totally unrelated keywords. They’re either enormous fans of Magritte or they REALLY don’t want people to visit their site.

Aim to be as specific as possible. Using broad keywords may yield large amounts of visits but it may not be the type of traffic that converts.

9 Not allowing your site to be crawled

Matt Cutts, Head of Search Spam at Google, recently cited this as one of the biggest mistakes people make when creating their websites.

In a video about basic SEO mistakes Cutts explains that if you make your content difficult for a search engine crawler to find, Google can't index it and won’t rank it.

By configuring Google and Bing Webmaster Tools to your site, accessibility to it is constantly monitored.

10 Irrelevant anchor text links

Anchor text is the name given to the clickable hyperlink text on a web page.

Creating cleverly phrased anchor text links is a coveted skill in the SEO world because they’re the main source of food for a search engine crawler.

Going from page to page, a crawler uses links as indicators of the theme of the pages it’s heading to – and how to rank them. So whenever I see click here used as an anchor text link, I see a wasted opportunity to build a link.

Tailoring your anchor text links to include keywords that you want to rank for can be tedious, and you’ll have to vary the pattern of anchor text so as to not attract suspicion from Google – but it’s something that you should definitely get into the habit of.

 Zero Recovery From Google's Panda Update

A couple weeks ago Seroundtable ran a poll asking Did You Recover From Panda? With over 500 responses. 

In short, 85% of those who were allegedly hit by the Panda update has seen zero improvement since they have been hit. 5% of those who were allegedly hit said they had a total recovery. 9% of those who were allegedly hit said they had a partial recovery.

Like I said before, I really think no one has recovered fully from this Google update - not yet at least.

Here is the full chart, also adding in those who responded that it was not applicable to them. I will be sharing the full results at a long presentation.

Know what is Google' Panda Algorithm is About

Google Panda is a change to Google's search results ranking algorithm that was first released in February 2011. The change aimed to lower the rank of "low-quality sites" or "thin sites" and return higher-quality sites near the top of the search results. (-Wikipedia)

Panda is just one of the algorithms used by Google to rank web content in its search results. Google debuted its Panda algorithm on February 24, 2011, as part of its goal to improve the quality of its search results and show users quality content. (-brafton)

Google Panda is an update in google that checks all the search results and removes suspicious websites that are known to abuse the search engine optimization procedure by grabbing a too much optimized domain name for a website to be placed on top of search results. (-yahoo.answers).

Development of Google Panda

The name “Panda” comes from Google engineer Navneet Panda, who developed the technology that made it possible for Google to create and implement the algorithm.

The technology Navneet Panda pioneered allows the search giant to algorithmically assess websites by many of the same quality categories (including site speed and content’s uniqueness and value) initially used by Google’s human website testers. Additionally, marketers and site developers believe the Panda algorithm factors visitors’ site interactions into search rankings. This suggests high bounce rates,low dwell times and related factors are all signals to Panda that a website is low quality

Free Tools by Google For SEO

Although there are numerous SEO tools available across the Internet, one should always start with those offered directly by Google for free when creating a website. When put to good use, Google tools are extremely powerful and highly effective in helping your web pages index well with the right keywords in search results. Best of all, all the tools can be managed within just a single Google account (or Gmail account) and you can add as many websites as you have into it.

Google Analytics

Let’s begin with the more popular Google Analytics, which is mostly used to track details of visits to a website. However there are more to look at than just page view counts and number of visitors in your Analytics account. You will be able to see exactly how visitors reached your site through their inserted search keywords or from other sites that have linked to you, and also the country location of the visitors to help in geo targeting.

These data are extremely helpful in determining what keywords your web pages rank well on search results and what the visitors are actually looking for during their searches that may have brought them to your site. With all these information, you can easily target the right keywords and significantly boost incoming traffic. There are still a ton of features you can find in your Google Analytics account, see it for yourself.

Google Webmaster Tools

Next up we have the Google Webmaster Tools. This is a must have for every new website. Many people thought that they will have to wait for the search engine to find their website in order to get indexed but that is actually not the case. All you have to do is to submit and verify your website URL with Google through your Webmaster Tools account and your web page will start to show up in the search results in a matter of hours. You can also tell Google how to index your site properly by submitting a list of your inner page URLs using a sitemap.xml file as so to prevent duplicated results.

On top of that, the Webmaster Tools will show a list of perhaps broken links within your site and also a list of internal and external pages linking to your site.

Google AdWords Keyword Tool

You may have thought that AdWords is made for managing pay-per-click ads with Google but there is also a little tool that you can find in your AdWords account called the “Keyword Tool” that you can use to research trends and popularity of specific keywords from specific countries. This tool basically tells you how competitive a keyword is in the market, how much people are willing to bid for those particular keywords, how much searches that have been done with those keywords in the past which all determine how popular the phrase or word is so you can find out if it is worth your while to optimize your site for it.

Google Insights for Search: 

With the help of this tool, you can identify search terms and explore your potential visitors based upon their search volume. Even, you can compare search volume patterns across various categories, specific regions and time frame for any search phrase. 

Google Alerts:

With the help of this tool, you will get emails when Google finds any new results, like newsletters, blogs, articles and web pages that are relevant to your search terms.

+1s Have No Direct Impact On Rankings

Google’s head of search spam, Matt Cutts, said once again that Google’s +1 data has no direct impact on their web search ranking algorithm. Moz published a story today named Amazing Correlation Between Google +1s and Higher Search Rankings in which Matt Cutts responded to in Hacker News thread saying, “correlation != causation.” 

He said that he is looking for the “politest way to debunk the idea that more Google +1s lead to higher Google web rankings.” Matt then added, he debunked a similar correlation study done by Moz on Facebook likes influencing Google rankings. In short, Matt says it isn’t surprising content with more likes or +1s have better rankings. 

Matt explains, “If you make compelling content, people will link to it, like it, share it on Facebook, +1 it, etc.” “But that doesn’t mean that Google is using those signals in our ranking,” Cutts add. Matt advises, “rather than chasing +1s of content, your time is much better spent making great content.”

Awaiting for Google Page Rank Update 2013 ???

The webmasters and web world community is eagerly waiting for next Google page rank update in 2013 but is it really going to happen anymore?

This is the question which keep wondering the entire SEO and web community as of today, because usually Google kept updating pagerank in almost each 3 months time frame and now its almost 6 months since Google has not released or updated the Google toolbar page rank. The last pr update took place on 5 February 2013 and after that pagerank update is just on hold and everyone wondering why Google is not releasing the next update as per schedule which they were following till now. After going through each and everything, here are few things which we observed regarding why Google is not updating the next page rank in 2013?

1. Most probably Google is going to Shutting Down the Google Page Rank Update in 2013?

The very first and important thing we need to know that is Google really going to update page rank in near future or Google going to shut down the Google page rank permanently like few of other services Google shut down recently( Google Reader etc..). Well we can’t neglect this possibility as Google recently just killed many services/products offered by Google and may be the Google page rank is the next one of that series due to misuse of Google page rank by webmasters in promotion of websites unethically to trick the search engines.

2. Page rank update is on hold due to other major algorithm updates going on in 2013?

As entire SEO community knew that Google has rolled out many major Google algorithm updates in 2013 and this can be also a reason for which Google page rank update is still on hold mode or can say in queue. In 2013 Google has rolled out two major updates with Google Panda and Google Penguin with smaller algorithm updates going on almost daily bases. May be Google just want these algorithms finish up with proper stability in search engines before releasing the next Google toolbar page rank.

3. To control Web Spam in 2013 by giving less importance to page rank in ranking factor?
