This is NOT SEO. SEO is the process of ensuring that the information on a web site is clearly understood by the non human Robots that index the internet, that this information is accurate and helpful in illustrating the purpose of that site and that knowledge about the site (both for humans and for Robots) is spread around the internet effectively.

Google breadcrumb trail

Richard — Wed, 6 Jan 2010 18:17:00 GMT

Just as Hansel and Gretal found, Breadcrumb trails are a great way to find your way around. As well as helping fairytale characters escape their evil step-mother breadcrumb trails are helpful in navigating the hierarchy of websites and rarely lead to being imprisoned and eaten by the Wicked Witch. In a push to capitalise on any useful practices Google are rolling out an enhancement to their Search Engine Results Pages in which the link to the result link is displayed not as an absolute URL but as a breadcrumb trail showing the route back to the website's homepage.

Content is king for SEO

One of the main precepts for a search engine's rating of a web page is the relevancy of the content to the main themes and topics of the site as a whole and the page in particular. As this is determined by assessing the keyword density (roughly speaking the process is to check the headings of the page and the frequency of related words to determine the subject of the page, and thus the expected keywords of the text) it pays to increase the amount of keyword rich content on your site.

If you are making minor changes, or large enhancements, to your website it's important to remember about SEO and make sure any changes maintain the SEO friendliness of the website and therefore do not lose ranking results. Any changes to the website may affect SEO results so always check code, copy and keywords etc to prevent from losing any results. Major changes, like redesigns or domain changes can have the biggest affect on rankings and if you are going ahead with changes like these, you should get advice from your SEO company for redesign SEO tips before making changes live.

SEO friendly URLs on Facebook

Richard — Sun, 4 Oct 2009 16:01:00 GMT

Since the beginnings of Facebook the site has operated completely dynamically, loading content into page frameworks from the database. This practice is the backbone of all content managed websites and nearly all ecommerce websites. Unfortunately this creates very long and impossible to remember URLs. The usual way to get round this is to create a virtual URL that is easier to remember by humans, and also can be used by search engines as another way to verify the relevancy of the page of content.

Richard — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 13:52:00 GMT

While Facebook, MySpace and Youtube may be much maligned in the business world (at least from the perspective of an employer whose workers waste too much time of these social networking sites) Social Networks are a great way to promote your site and increase the rate of links back to your webpage.

Code Compliancy affects SEO

Richard — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:33:00 GMT

What does Code Compliancy have to do with SEO? Surely the only thing that matters for SEO is the relevancy of the content? Well, not exactly. Search Engine Robots can't read, or at least they can't evaluate what they read the way a human does, so they operate less on what is being said than what is being repeated in the words of the web page and how well those repeated words or phrases relate to the title and data surrounding the webpage.

Richard — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:33:00 GMT

There is a belief among many that a new website should be optimised straight out of the box. In a perfect world this would be the case but in reality it is not.

What is required, even for newly built sites, is a proper SEO strategy designed to maximise performance in the results pages. More...

New Search Engines

Paul — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 13:26:00 GMT

We all know about Google and how it takes control of everything search, we also know about Bing trying to stir things up. Bing actually launched about 2 months ago and the affect it has had on the search market has settled for the moment but I have a feeling MSN won't give up just yet.

SEO Friendly Site Coding

Jenny — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 09:22:00 GMT

During an SEO project we will spend a lot of time looking at your website code and optimising it for the search engine spiders to crawl. There are often many changes that need to be made to the website within the code and these changes can be made extremely difficult if your website does not have an SEO friendly source code. If you have a website from a high quality development company then it will have been created in house by a software team, in comparison buying a cheap website solution from an 'off the shelf' template store won't have been developed in a good way but just a cheap way, meaning the site is likely to full of excess code which isn't good for SEO.

What is Black Hat SEO?

Jenny — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:40:00 GMT

Black Hat is the term used for unethical, SEO tricks which help increase ranking results but are not condoned by search engines. All search engine optimisation techniques can be placed under either the White Hat or Black Hat column depending on whether that technique is deemed as cheating or not. An example of these unethical SEO tricks is cloaking, which means to write content on your website but the colour of the text would be the same as the colour of the background so it's invisible to users but search engines would crawl that content and rank your site based on it.

Jenny — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:39:00 GMT

It isn't beneficial for non-directory websites to have many external links on their websites because it will drain their Google PageRank and make their own site less relevant and therefore could cause drop in rankings. As we have discussed before, having lots of one-way links to your site is a huge part of SEO and will help to increase the PR of your website. More...

A key element in terms of SEO (search engine optimisation) is the page title. This is the text that will appear in blue letters in the search engine result pages (SERPs).

Diane — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 17:50:00 GMT

Themes and topics are important when writing content and drawing up in lists of keywords so therefore are important to SEO. In order to optimise your website fully you need to be adding content to it on a regular basis, but this content needs to be relevant to specific topics and include relative keywords to be worthwhile. When drawing up the list of keywords, save time later on by putting these keywords into relative groups, or themes. More...

HTML Code to Content Ratio

Diane — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 13:58:00 GMT

Checking your HTML code to textual content ratio is important as it will give you an idea of the percentage of content there is on your website when being viewed by a search engine. We have stated many times before that it's important to know what the search engines see to be able to make it more reader friendly in their eyes.

Content Remains King for SEO

Diane — Thu, 5 Feb 2009 18:07:00 GMT

Although there is a lot of hype about online video at the moment and its impact on SEO (search engine optimisation), there is still strong evidence that content still remains King when it comes to Page 1 rankings on the search engines.

Make Your Meta Data Relevant

Diane — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 17:39:00 GMT

Meta Data is key to search engine optimisation and that includes updating page titles, meta keywords and meta descriptions of every page of a website. The best tip when adding your meta data, especially the page titles, is to make sure that it's 100% specific and relevant to that individual page. Making those titles relevant to the whole site is good but not good enough. Search engines will crawl and index your site page per page, so you need to make sure that each page is important and will be relevant for some good search queries. More...

Funnel pages are pages on a website that can be seen as a step in a process, for example the basket and checkout pages on an ecommerce website.

This data can be used for analysing 'drop out' rates on these pages and so you can easily see where abouts on your website you are losing customers. More...

For example, a page with a PR2 (PageRank 2) can get a higher ranking than a page with a PR3 or 4.
