Process of SEO

There are two types of SEO.

   a. On-Page-SEO

   b. Off-Page-SEO

Now, you will know about both of them in detail.

On-Page-SEO

           On-Page-SEO is a very big topic. The meaning of On-Page-SEO is making your website according to Google's rules. In On-Page-SEO, you edit your website and make it SEO friendly so that Google can easily read it and the user attracts to visit your website. Now you can learn about On-Page-SEO as below.

Steps of On-Page-SEO

            Website speed, title tag, meta description, keyword density, hidden content, image alt tag, internal and external links, URL structure, bold important keyword, responsive website design, post heading, post length, and sitemap optimization all these come under On-Page-SEO.

   1.Website Loading Speed.

   a. If the loading time is 1 to 5 second, 

       it means your website is Fast.

   b. If the loading time is 5 to 10 second, 

       it means your website is Average, Improve it.

   c. If loading time of a website is greater than 10 second,

       it means your website is very Slow, need to correct it.

What is the reason for the slow speed of the website? 

       When we upload many large images and big JavaScript code on our website, the speed of the website becomes slow. This is because the image and JavaScript code takes a lot of time to load. So try to reduce the size of the images and minimize the use of JavaScript.

 2. Title Tag

There is a very important role of Title Tag to rank any website. The more optimized your title, the more benefit you get.

 How to make the best title?

The length of the Meta title should not exceed 70 Characters. Try to mention your keyword once in the title. The most important thing is that don’t repeat the same keyword again and again in your title because Google mentions this as spam.

Example-

    a. Earn money| How to make income?| Online earning- Good Title

    b. Earn money| How to earn money| Earn money online- Bad Title

3. Meta Description

         By using Meta descriptions, you tell Google, what is the subject of your website? Such as, to earn money or on technology etc.

How to make a good description?

         The length of the Meta descriptions should not exceed 160 characters, because more than this, Google does not read. Use the maximum number of synonyms in the description and try that, once your keyword comes in the description.

   Example-

     a. Earn money- Today, Blogging and youtube are the most popular ways to earn money online- Good Description.

     b. Earning money- online earning from youtube, earning from blogger, ways of earning- Bad Description.

4. Keyword Density

         Keyword density is also a big factor. Keyword density means how often your keyword has been repeated in your content. Keyword Density should be 5% only, more than 5% will be harmful to your website.

5. Hidden Content

          There should not be hidden content on your website. Many times people put hidden content on the page for a good rank, but they hide it so that when a user comes to read on the site, do not see the hidden content. Google hates such a hidden content.

6. Image Alt Tag

             A lot of people do not know that Google does not read the image. With the Alt tag in the Google image, it determines, who is belongs to this image? For example - If you put a photo of Mr. Trump on your website but did not put an alt tag, then Google will not know, who it belongs to this image?  But if you have defied Mr. Trump in the alt tag, then Google will understand that he is Mr. Trump.

7. URL Structure

             The URL of your posts helps you to rank up. The URL for the post should be so that Google can read it and find out which topic this is related to.

Example-

    https//mybloghelp.com/id=123.html 

              This is the wrong way.

    https//mybloghelp.com/setup-google-alerts

              This is the correct way.

8. Internal Links

        Also, link to some other related posts in your post. Keep in mind that there are no more than 5 internal links in a post. Because, using more links, readers will be confused.

9. Enable Gzip Compression

       Using Gzip Compression, your site gets a little lightweight. In Gzip your website’s HTML. CSS, JavaScript code will be compressed, thereby reducing the loading time of the site.

10. Bold Important Keyword

      The keyword you want to rank your post keep it in the "bold" tag. Bold Means Attention. By bold Keywords, Google understands which keyword is focused on the post.

11. Website Structure

         Make your website look user-friendly. Many people use very small font sizes on their website. Today is the day of smartphone and most people open the website on mobile then your font size must be at least 15px. Apart from this, heading tag should be visible properly. Your site should be attractive to see, so that reader enjoys reading.

           Responsible website means a website that sets height and width according to the device as soon as the mobile or desktop is opened. In short, there is no problem to read mobile readers on the Response website.

13. Heading Sequence

         Here are some heading tags in HTML - H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, and H6. While using these heading tags we should pay attention, it should be in a sequence. First of all H1, then H2, then H3 should run such sequence. Some people use H1, then H2, then H1, but this method is absolutely wrong.  It is harmful to SEO.

14. Post Length

           The more you give the information, the more your rank will up. Increasing the length of your post does not mean that you keep writing anything. It is very important to have informative content in a post. Try to have at least 1000 words in your post.

15. Sitemap

             A Sitemap is a type of map that Google reads the entire structure of your website’s post. When Google reads a website, Google's crawler first of all searches the file named sitemap.xml.  If the file crawler gets it then easily it crawls the entire website. Otherwise, the crawler has trouble to access all the pages of your website, so be sure to put a sitemap on your website.

6. Use Google+ to Boost Organic Traffic

   

     Google+ is Google's own social networking platform, so it is clear that Google focuses on Google+ more than Facebook. You can create an attractive profile on Google+ and extend your follower.

7. Use Twitter and Hashtag
