5. Is your web site visible?
• There are different web languages however HTML
(Hyper Text Mark Up Language) or XHTML are the
popular languages that conform to W3C standards.
• XML (Extensible Mark Up Language) is designed to
describe data, and HTML is designed to display data.
• Therefore - by combining HTML and XML, and their
strengths, you have a markup language that is built for
the future - XHTML

• Friendly URL’s
• ALT Tags
• Clear and precise content
• Good navigation (site map)
• In-links i.e. anchor text back links
What have I missed?
11. On-page Optimisation
Keywords
• Every page has its own individual objective and this should
be represented within the content, the message and the call
to action.
‘In 2008, said Dr Nielsen, only 25% of people travel via a homepage. The
rest search and go directly to the page on question’. BBC.co.uk
•How do we know which keywords to use?
• Often this area is too quickly decided
• Research your keywords
• KEI –Keyword Effectiveness Indicator
• There are many different keyword tools available
12. On-page Optimisation
Keywords
• You may know what your site is about and how
you would find it, but it's very difficult to
predict how a paying customer would find it
• Often people evaluate their site through a very
narrow lens
• As a result keywords relate to industry
jargon, not viable keywords
13. On-page Optimisation
Keywords
• Generic keywords - Knowing what your top
keywords are can often be of no value.
• We want targeted traffic!
I.e. Mechanics > Motor Mechanics > Motor Mechanics in
Newbury
• Long Tail - keyword phrase to include numerous combinations
and permutations of the keywords and their associated or
relevant phrases. Note . Don’t overlook geographic targeting
• 10-20 highly focused keywords (home page)
• 2-3 keywords (sub pages)
15. On-page Optimisation
Keywords
It's important to keep monitoring your keywords and make
tweaks as necessary. Doing so will allow you to stay ahead of your
competition and keep moving forward.
• Keyword research should not be undertaken in an ad hoc
fashion
• It is the foundation all natural search engine optimisation
techniques
• The keywords selected should be included in all of your on-page
optimisation
16. On-page Optimisation
Keywords
• We typically recommend only going after two to
three related keywords/key phrases per page
• Don’t run the risk of diluting your page to the
point where you rank for nothing.
• Make sure to naturally work the keywords into
your content and avoid over-repetition that may
be interpreted as spamming.
17. Content
• How much content do you have?
• Do you know your keyword density?
• Is it dynamic?
• Are you displaying external content?
• Do you update your content regularly?
• Do you have a content strategy?
• Is it manageable?
• Do you have a publishing process?
• Do you have a blog?
18. Content
Keyword Density
• Keyword density generally refers to the number of
times a keyword has appeared in your content.
• There are many different opinions:
• 2-5% content density per keyword
• 8-15% engine density
• Content density or engine density?
• The content should be written naturally with the topic
or subject in mind and not the targeted keyword in mind.

19. Content
Dynamic Content
• Almost every web site offers some form of dynamic content i.e.
stock quotes, personal account information, football results or film
show times.
• Dynamic content can be exceptionally powerful
• The myth was that dynamic content is harder to optimise than
static content.
•Using a good CMS can expel that myth and drive dynamic content
through friendly URL’s and structured XML feeds
21. Content Strategy

• It’s important to set realistic targets
• Make the process manageable
• Give people particular roles – creative V’s copy writing
• Have a content plan across all areas of your business
• Have regular brain storming sessions
• It’s important to have a publishing process
• Develop a full strategy with goals and dates
22. Embracing social media
Q. Does your site embrace social media?
• Social media doesn’t necessarily mean Face Book
• There are many business benefits to social media

your business and embrace it within the right areas of
your site
