Search Engine Placement

Better search engine placement is on most webmaster's minds when trying to design a search engine friendly website. For those who want their website to place high on the list of inquiry results, there are several things that are important to incorporate into any website. The two most basic things to know that insures better search engine rankings for any website is content and proper linking with other websites. It sounds simple and can be achieved but it does take some work to stay on top of the game in order to receive the desired placement.

There are several criteria used by web engines to determine links that fit into the top results. Engines like to see constantly updated, content rich websites. It doesn't have to be just a home page that receives better search engine rankings either. Every page in a website has the potential to receive a top rankings if it provides relevant, and content rich information that the engines love. Content is the one major factor that can propel a website into the top ten listings with search engines. Content and more content is what attracts web rankings systems to a site.

Those who want to be ahead of the game almost from the start with a website should make it a common routine to add new content to the website at least weekly. There are many sources from which to get content that will help you achieve better search engine rankings. One can personally write articles or add articles from free sites that allow others to add their content to a different web page. One can also receive automatic feeds from news services that provide daily updated information about news, sports and weather. A third option is to purchase articles from many informational sites that generate thousands of articles a year for website use.

Not all content is viewed equally by web engines either. In order to get better rankings than most, it is usually best to provide content from articles, forums and blogs that have not been published before. Fresh content is especially attractive to inquiry web robots and a website that provides new content daily or weekly will more likely achieve better search engine placement. Fresh content is important in receiving better placement, but also content that is in keeping with your web site's purpose and function. Search engines are drawn to content rich sites that provide recurring phrases and words that are used in abundance throughout the pages of a website.

Placing content that has important key words that relate to your product or service is necessary when an individual writes or searches for articles to create a search engine friendly site. Thematic pages are important as well in drawing search engines to a website so individuals must keep in mind the purpose for every page in the site. Another important way to achieve better search engine placement is by using links properly within a site as well as getting others to place ones link within their site. One of the most important things to remember when working with links within a site is to be careful to choose links that relate to the particular site. For example, if you have a site that is about automotive parts, it isn't the best strategy to have links to a florist site.

Webmasters should choose their links carefully and with a purpose in mind in order to attract the ever important web engines. One way to get links that are relevant to your site is to exchange links with other sites that have similar products or services. This creates circular traffic which is good for both sites. Also, webmasters should attempt to contact some of the top placed websites in the area of interest. Webmasters can ask them if they will allow the webmaster to link to their site and possibly even reciprocate the link. Top search engine listings such as these can provide individuals with better search engine placement by benefiting from the connection to other busy sites.

Back links such as these can provide websites with residual visitors as well as help them get high results rankings. Of course, back links help everyone so if one has a good site, he or she should not be afraid to approach another site with similar themes. Everyone can win as long as they are not obvious competitors. This all comes back to content, however, and websites that have the best value to back links are those that have rich content within their sites. Always keep in mind that no matter what is done to achieve better search engine rankings, the content must be fresh, informative and truthful in order to be successful.

Another tip to linking success is to submit ones own informative or how-to articles to other sites that primarily offers content. By adding ones own links to all these submissions, the individual can receive visitors back to the origination site. The pay off for webmasters that use content to receive better placement as well as traffic is almost endless. To insure that search engines place the site near the top of their listings, attack web placement with a one-two punch--content and links. "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4)
