The process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the
search results of a search engine.
SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from
search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted
keywords.
SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances
that the site will be found by the search engine.
SEO is aimed at achieving the highest position practically possible in the organic listings
on the search engine results pages. To do this you need to define a list of key phrases to
work with.
It is the art of getting ranked on Google, Yahoo and MSN for the keywords/phrases
relevant to your site.

2. Describe briefly your general SEO experience?
I am working on both OnPage optimization and Offpage optimization. In On page
optimization I manage Meta Title, MetaTags (Met Keyword, MetaDiscription), Keyword
Suggestion, and Contents Suggestion.
And
In Off page Optimization Link Building like: - Directory submission, Article submission,
Bookmarking (Tagging), Forums Posting, Classified, PR Submission, Search Engine
Submission, Creation & submission of Blog, RSS Submission.
3. What do you mean by Robots.txt File?
A text file present in the root directory of a site which is used to control which pages are
indexed by a robot and which pages are not indexed by a robot or a spider.
A text file kept in the root of a website. It tells robots, spiders and crawlers where they
are allowed to go and not allowed to go on a website.
Search engine robots will check a special file in the root of each server called robots.txt,
which is, as you may guess, a plain text file (not HTML). Robots.txt implements the
Robots Exclusion Protocol, which allows the web site administrator to define what parts
of the site are off-limits to specific robot user agent names.
Web administrators can disallow access to cgi, private and temporary directories, for
example, because they do not want pages in those areas indexed.
Entry

Meaning

User-agent: *

The asterisk (*) in the User-agent field is shorthand for "all robots".
Disallow:

Because nothing is disallowed, everything is allowed.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /tmp/
Disallow: /private/

In this example, all robots can visit every directory except the three
mentioned.

User-agent: BadBot
Disallow: /

In this case, the BadBot robot is not allowed to see anything. The
slash is shorthand for "all directories"
The User Agent can be any unique substring, and robots are not
supposed to care about capitalization.

User-agent: BadBot
Disallow: /

The blank line indicates a new "record" - a new user agent command.
BadBot should just go away. All other robots can see everything
except the "private" folder.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /private/

User-Agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /images/
That will work if you are very organized and keep all your images strictly in the images
folder.
User-Agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
This one will prevent the Google image bot from indexing any of your images, no matter
where they are in your site.
4. Finally, you have two pages called content1.html and content2.html, which are
optimized for Google and Lycos respectively. So, you want to hide content1.html from
Lycos (The Lycos spider is called T-Rex):
User-Agent: T-Rex
Disallow: /content1.html
and content2.html from Google.
User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /content2.html
Specific Special Bots:
Google Image
Yahoo MM
MSN PicSearch
SingingFish
Yahoo Blogs

googlebot-image
yahoo-mmcrawler
psbot
asterias
yahoo-blogs/v3.9

social media, online communities and community websites. Methods of SMO include
adding RSS feeds, adding a "Digg This" button, blogging and incorporating third party
community functionalities like Flickr photo slides and galleries or You Tube videos.
Social media optimization is related to search engine marketing (SEM), but differs in
several ways, primarily the focus on driving traffic from sources other than search
engines, though improved search ranking is also a benefit of successful SMO.
Social media optimization is in many ways connected as a technique to viral marketing
where word of mouth is created not through friends or family but through the use of
networking in social bookmarking, video and photo sharing websites. In a similar way
the engagement with blogs achieves the same by sharing content through the use of RSS
in the blogsphere and special blog search engines such as Technorati.
Social Media optimization is considered an integral part of an online reputation
management (ORM) or Search Engine Reputation Management (SERM) strategy for
organizations or individuals who care about their online presence.

Or
When site A links to site B, site A has an outbound link, and site B has an inbound link.
(a) Inbound link - Is a link to your website.
(b) Outbound link - Is a link from your website.
(c) Back link - I think mean slightly different to some people, a back link can just be an
inbound link, or it can be in the form of a reciprocal link.

message.

local, national and international levels. It is Google's leading advertising product and its
main source of revenue.

Difference between Reciprocal and Inbound link building.
Reciprocal link building: Reciprocal link building is popularly known as link exchange.
Webmasters would exchange links with each other in a hope to attract traffic.
Inbound Link Building: - While reciprocal link building involves exchange of links,
inbound link building is a process that doesn’t involve exchange of links between two
websites. Inbound links are also called one–way links. As the name suggests, one–way
linking is building links for the website without reciprocating it.
If Website A receives a link from any webpage of website B without having to give a link
back to website B, then this link is an inbound link for website A.
Reciprocal Link is defined as exchanging links between two sites to build link popularity,
in other words both site would benefit. While inbound link is also knows as one way link,
a link from other site pointing to your site. Only one site would benefit in terms of link
popularity or back links.
**********************************************************************
What do you mean by Search Engine and Search Engine Ranking: Search Engine is a program that searches documents for specified keywords and returns a
list of the documents where the keywords were found. Although search engine is really a
general class of programs, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Alta
Vista and Excite that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web and
USENET newsgroups.
Search Engine Ranking is the position of a site on a particular search engine. Typically
search engine users visit only high ranking sites, so a high position is important.
Search engine ranking is a measure of the online promotional success of a web page or
website.
Search Engine Positioning: Typically, a search engine works by sending out a spider to
fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called an indexer, then reads
these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document.
Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally,
only meaningful results are returned for each query.
Webmaster: An individual who manages a Web site. Depending on the size of the site,
the Webmaster might be responsible for making sure that the web server hardware and
software is running properly designing the web site, creating and updating Web pages,
replying to user feedback, creating CGI scripts or monitoring traffic through the site.
Internet Marketing: Internet marketing is the act of promoting products and services by
increasing a web site's online visibility. Some of these promotion techniques includes:
natural search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, e-mail marketing,
newsletter distribution, blogging, community forums, article writing and distribution, and
banner advertising.
Submissions: The act of supplying a URL to a search engine in an attempt to make a
search engine aware of a site or page.
Keywords: A word used by a search engine in its search for relevant Web pages.
Keywords are used by search engines to make the page more easily searchable.
Spamming: Excessive manipulation to influence search engine rankings, often for pages
which contain little or no relevant content.
Doorway page: a page made specifically to rank well in search engines for particular
keywords, serving as an entry point through which visitors pass to the main content.
Also called a gateway page. A doorway page exists solely (only) for the purpose of
driving traffic to another page. They are usually designed and optimized to target one
specific keyword. Doorway pages rarely are written for human visitors. They are written
for search engines to achieve high rankings and hopefully drive traffic to the main site.
Using doorway pages is a violation of the Terms of Service of most search engines and
could be grounds for banning.
Meta Tags: A special HTML tag that provides information about a Web page. Unlike
normal HTML tags, Meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed. Instead, they
provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page
is about, and which keywords represent the page's content. Many search engines use this
information when building their indices. It resides in the Head section of HTML or
XHTML.
Title Tag: This is one of the most important places to have a keyword because what is
written inside the <title> tag shows in search results as your page title. HTML tag used to
define the text in the top line of a Web browser, also used by many search engines as the
title of search listings. The title tag must be short (6 or 7 words at most or near to 70 char.
long) and keyword must be near the beginning.
Meta Description Tag: Meta description is a summary of information about the web page
of the web site. Meta Description Tag plays a key role in search engine optimization
processes. Meta Description tag is a combination of few multiple keywords which reflect
the content of the web page.
Meta Description should contain Max of 30 words length or 260 characters. Meta
Description is the combination of primary keyword and secondary keywords / multiple
keywords.
Keywords Meta tag: The keywords meta-tag is a list of key phrases, separated by
commas, reflecting the most important theme of your site, and is used by search engines
to find appropriate pages.
Try to keep your keywords meta-tag between 200-300 characters in length (20-25 words
is a good number) with the most important words and phrases contained within the first
100 characters.
There are some guidelines which should follow during the creation of Meta tag according
to search engine norms:
Do not repeat the same words again in title tag - some search engines treat this as
spamming.
Ensure you have focused your keywords to reflect your pages.
Always avoid to use the stop words like “a”, “and”, “or” and “that”.
Always place your META tags above the SSI comment
Always place your META tags between HTML’s Head section.
Eg. (<head> place Meta tag elements here <head>)
Either don’t include your company name in the title tag or add it after few most relevant
keywords, phrases into the title tag.
Write different title tags for each web page of your website instead of writing a common
title page for the complete site.
Make sure that each title tag has relevance with the contents of that web page where it
appears.
Meta Description should contain Max of 30 keywords length or 260 characters. Meta
Description is the combination of primary keyword and secondary keywords/multiple
keywords.
Don’t repeat the same keyword thrice in the Meta Description Tags.
At time of writing the Meta Description tags use First letter is caps fallows lower
case.
Meta Description should be a couple short sentences to a couple paragraphs long.
Don’t use too many spaces in Meta Title.
Domain: A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name
microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to
identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL
www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com. Every
domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to.
There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:
gov - Government agencies
edu - Educational institutions
org - Organizations (nonprofit)
mil - Military
com - commercial business
net - Network organizations
ca - Canada
th - Thailand
Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server
requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP
addresses.
Image Alt Tag: HTML tag that provides alternative text when non-textual elements,
typically images, cannot be displayed. The image tag is a very important tag. It directs the
browser to either a gif or jpeg file. The browser then displays that image file where the
command is placed.
Link Popularity: Link popularity is the total number of web sites that link to your site.
More on link popularity...
Link Popularity is a measure of the quantity and quality of sites that link to your site. A
growing number of search engines use link popularity in their ranking algorithms. Google
uses it as its most important factor in ranking sites. HotBot, AltaVista, MSN, Inktomi,
and others also use link popularity in their formulas. Eventually every major engine will
use link popularity, so developing and maintaining it are essential to your search engine
placement.
Link Farms: A link farm consists of sites that link to other sites for the sole purpose of
increasing their link popularity score. Unlike perfectly valid links to sites with related
information, sites that participate in link farming contain links to totally unrelated sites.
This practice is also referred to as link stuffing. Google hates link farms and labels the
links they generate as spam.
A website that exists purely to increase the rankings of member’s websites thorough
increased link popularity.
Any group of Web sites where every member site in the group links to every other
member site in the group.
Manual Submission: adding a URL to the search engines individually by hand.
Landing page: A content-rich doorway used to receive PPC traffic. Copy is written for
the visitor, not the search engine, making a sales pitch (usually — I’ve seen a few that
meandered pointlessly with fake testimonials).
Link baiting: The practice of creating attention-grabbing headlines and seeding links to
articles on social media sites for the purpose of generating thousands of links on blogs,
forums, and other sites in a very brief period of time. It is assumed that the content is
link-worthy, but this is a subjective point.
Keyword Density: Most search engines look for keyword density. Some search engine
will only look at the first 200-400 characters of your site, and count the number of times
the keyword appears. Some index a small amount of text from the top, middle, and
bottom parts of your web page, and search them for keywords. Generally keyword
density should be in the 6-8% range. Simply repeating the keyword will not work
because some search engines consider grammar structure in their calculations.
The measure of how many times a keyword is repeated compared to the overall content
of a web page. If a keyword was listed 5 times out of a word count of 50 the keyword
density would be 10%.
Google API: You can use your Google API license key to perform automated queries on
Google that complies with Google's term of service agreement. To access the Google
Web APIs service, you must create a Google Account and obtain a license key. Your
Google Account and license key entitle you to 1,000 automated queries per day.
SERP (Search Engine Results Page): The SERP is otherwise known as the Search
Engines Results Page. This is the page that users see after typing their search query into
an engine. Since conversion starts at the SERP, it is an important job of the search
marketer to obtain strong call-to-action listings that produce a high number of click
through.
SEO Copywriting: Writing specifically for web pages involves incorporating target
keywords that tell the search engines what a specific web page is about. Effective SEO
copywriting achieves two goals. The first one is, it creates persuasive, informative
content for the web site visitor while maintaining an optimum keyword count for the
search engines to index.
What is link spam?
People doing business on the web want their sites to show up as high as possible on the
results of a search on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines for relevant
keywords. To achieve that goal, some will provide good content and services, others will
simply pull dirty tricks.
Link spam is such a dirty trick. The more other sites link to a given site, the higher search
engines will rank that site. If you can't get people to link to you, you can simply go ahead
and set those links yourself. This is most easily accomplished using web resources where
you can post any kind of content, such as on wikis, in blog comments, and in guest
books.
What is google spamdexing?
Link flow: An expression used by many people to describe Page Rank. In SEO Theory,
link flow is the link pathway users and search engines may use to get from one page to
another.

HTML: Short for Hypertext Markup Language, the authoring language used to create
documents on the World Wide Web. HTML is similar to SGML, although it is not a strict
subset. HTML defines the structure and layout of a Web document by using a variety of
tags and attributes. The correct structure for an HTML document starts with
<HTML><HEAD> (enter here what document is about) </HEAD><BODY> and ends
with </BODY></HTML>. All the information you'd like to include in your Web page
fits in between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags.
HTML <! DOCTYPE> tag Definition and Usage
There are currently 3 XHTML document types:
STRICT
TRANSITIONAL
FRAMESET
The <! DOCTYPE> declaration is the very first thing in your document, before the
<html> tag. This tag tells the browser which HTML or XHTML specification the
document uses.
<! DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
BODY Text Tag: The body text is the HTML documents content. Body text is the text
visible in the browser window, includes all image and links.
Example: <BODY>Body text goes here</BODY>
Link Text or Anchor Text: Link text is the clickable text which connects one web page
to another.
Example: <A HREF="page.html">link text goes here</A>
Heading Tag: Headings (H1, H2, and H3) are used as the topics of the website's
sections.
Example: <H1>heading 1 goes here</H1>
Bold Tag: Bold text is used as a font styling element to signify important words or
sections in the web page.
Example: <B>bold text goes here</B>
Italic Tag: Italic text is used as a font styling element to point out new terms, book or
article titles etc.
Example: <I>italic text goes here</I>
EM Emphasis Tag: Em text is used for emphasis and is usually displayed in italic font.
Example: <EM>em text goes here</EM>
Strong Tag: Strong text is used for stronger emphasis and is usually displayed in bold
font.
Example: <STRONG>strong text goes here</STRONG>
Cite Tag: Cite text is used for citations or reference to other sources.
Example: <CITE>cite text goes here</CITE>
Abbr Tag: Abbr text is used for abbreviations which are shortened forms of words like
HTML, FBI or WWW.
Example: <ABBR>abbr text goes here</ABBR>
Acronym Tag: Acronym text is used for pronounceable abbreviations like NATO. It is
also used for shortened forms of word like Inc. for Incorporated or Lab. for laboratory.
Example: <ACRONYM>acronym text goes here</ACRONYM>
Table Caption Tag: Table caption is used as a short description of the table's purpose
usually displayed below the table.
Example: <TABLE><CAPTION>caption goes here<CAPTION></TABLE>
HTML Comment Tag: Html comments are not visible in the browser and are mainly
used for developers to document html code.
Example: <! -- Comment goes here -->
Table Summary Tag: Table summary is used for describing the table's contents and
purpose to non-visual media.
Example: <TABLE SUMMARY="summary goes here">
Link Href Tag: Link href is the attribute of the link and specifies the address of another
page.
Example: <A HREF="link-href-goes-here.html">text</A>
Link Title Tag: Link title is the attribute of the link and adds information about the link,
it is rendered as a tool tip in the browser.
Example: <A HREF="page.html" TITLE="link title goes here">text</A>
Image Source Names Tag: Image names are the names of the image files.
Example: <IMG SRC="image-name-goes-here. if">
Page Name or URL: Most search engines look for the keywords in the domain name,
folder name and page name. Keywords should be separated by hyphens.
Example: www.keyword1.com/keyword2-keyword3.html
Index: In database design, a list of keys (or keywords), each of which identifies a unique
record. Indices make it faster to find specific records and to sort records by the index
field -- that is, the field used to identify each record.

<a href=”http://www.abc.com/”
alt=”nofollow”
Give me a description of your general
SEO experience.
A. My experience is mainly with my
own site at www.afreshpath.com and
one other site
www.qualitymotorsreno.com. So far, my
site is on page one for narrow search
terms involving outdoor recreation in
Nevada. The other site has gone from
not being listed at all in the first 10
pages of any search result to being in
pages 2 and 3 of a couple of search
engines. That work is ongoing at this
time.
2.
Can you write HTML code by hand?
A. Yes I can. I do use some WYSIWYG
editors and then modify the code by
hand as needed.
3.
Could you briefly explain the PageRank
algorithm?
A. In simple terms, Google uses the
gross number of inbound links to a page
to determine how important the page is.
This “pagerank” has little to do with
actual search results but can make a
difference on user behavior.
4.
Have you created any SEO tools either
from scratch or pieced together from
others?
A. No, I do make use of many tools
already available on the internet as well
as SEO programs that I have purchased.
5.
What do you think of PageRank?
A. In relation to SEO projects, it is
relatively unimportant but can give an
indication of how much work needs to
be done in gaining inbound links.
6.
What do you think of using XML
sitemaps?
A. I use them. They are an additional
tool to help the search engines when

they crawl a site. There is no
requirement for any sitemap and your
pages will get indexed without them if
you pay close attention to navigation
within your site.
7.
What SEO tools do you regularly use?
A. Keyword analysis tools, keyword
density tools, index checking, backlink
checking, wordprocessor to check
spelling and grammar, HTML validation
and others.
8.
Under what circumstances would you
look to exclude pages from search
engines using robots.txt vs meta robots
tag?
A. Usually I would use the robots.txt to
keep a search engine from indexing an
entire directory on a site. This would
often be directories dealing with admin
functions or directories that only contain
script or image libraries.
9.
What areas do you think are currently
the most important in organically
ranking a site?
A. Text on page! Search engines utilize
text and only text in providing search
results. That text is found in many place
including the URL and title of your
pages as well as the visible text you
place on your pages.
10.
Do you have experience in copywriting
and can you provide some writing
samples?
A. My experience in “copywriting” is
limited to my site at
www.afreshpath.com. It is a blog about
outdoor recreation in Nevada and so far
is placing well in search results.
11.
Have you ever had something you’ve
written reach the front-page of Digg?
Sphinn? Or be Stumbled?
A. Not yet! I am not particularly worried
about it but I do try to write in such a
way that others would be inticed to
submit my articles.
12.
Explain to me what META tags matter
in today’s world.
A. The most important META tag for
SEO is your page description. Search
engines do make use of this tag but it
does not outweigh the title or visible
text. The META keywords tag is not
much of a factor in the major search
engines but should not be overlooked.
13.
Explain various steps that you would
take to optimize a website?
A. 1. Interview website owner or
webmaster to get a good grasp of the
site’s purpose and goals.
2. Perform a keyword analysis to find
best performing keywords that should be
used for that site and for individual
pages of the site
3. Analyze site content to determine
usage of relavant keywords and phrases.
This includes visible text as well at titles,
META tags, and “alt” attributes.
4. Examine site navigation
5. Determine the existence of robots.txt
and sitemap and examine those for
effectivenes.
6. Make recommendations for changes
needed for the site and each individual
page.
14.
If the company whose site you’ve been
workind for has decided to move all of
its content to a new domain, what steps
would you take?
A. I would update the old site with
permanent redirects to to new page for
every page. Then I would attempt to
remove old content from the major
search engines to avoid duplicate content
issues.
15.
Rate from 1 to 10, tell me the most
important “on page” elements
A. #1 issue is visible text being relevant

to expected search terms.
# 2 would then be page titles
# 3 is navigation and “alt” attributes for
navigation items and link text.
# 4 would be “alt” attributes for images
and other media presented on pages.
16.
What do you think about link buying?
A. I discourage the practice for the most
part. There are more effective means of
paid marketing. One exception would be
purchasing listings in highly reputable
directories such as Yahoo directory.
17.
What is Latent Semantic Analysis (LSI
Indexing)?
A. LSI indexing ries to overcome the
limitations of “literal” search term
matching . For example, if someone is
searching for “hiking in Norhter
Nevada” a literal search would only
match the words used without taking
into account words such as “hike”,
“hiked”. LSI can give more relevant
results because it does take word usage
and context into account determining
what a page is “about” rather than a
strict reliance on literal wording.
18.
What is Phrase Based Indexing and
Retrieval and what roles does it play?
A. In regards to search results, it is a
method that search engines such as
google use to determine relevance of a
page based on phrases acutally used in a
document. For example, if you have a
page instructing people on wildlife
photography, the search engine would
reasonably expect to see terms and
phrases such as “selecting a camera”,
“appraoching wildlife”, and “low light
photo conditions”. Related phrases will
add to the relevance of a page where
unrelated phrases will reduce the
relevance of a page. This is one
technique that Google is using to weed
out “spam” sites.
19.
What is the difference between SEO and
SEM?
A. Seo is search engine optimization and
is the process you use in getting your
pages to place well on search results.
SEM is search engine marketing and
involves purchasing advertising space on
search result pages. Sponsored listings
are SEM. Both are related though! When
using Google Adwords, the better you
optimize your pages for search, the less
you will be paying for your selected
keywords in the PPC campaign and the
better placment your ads will get.
20.
What kind of strategies do you normally
implement for backlinks?
A. I check the competitors backlinks to
find hightly relevant sites and request a
link from them. If reciprocal linking is
required, I may be able to place a lik
back to them in a relevant portion of a
page on the site but if not, I will state so
and may not gain that link. Another
method I use is to submit press releases
to relevant media.
21.
What role does social media play in an
SEO strategy?
A. Social media such as social
networking sites and news sites can
provide for viral marketing. Viral
marketing has proven to be powerful if
the content of a site is appealing.
22.
What things wouldn’t you to do increase
rankings because the risk of penalty is
too high?
A. I would avoid any site with the
appearance of a link farm. I would also
avoid any “spam” practice such as
unsolicited email campaigns, certain
affiliate advertising sites, sites that redirect visitors to your site, and anything
resembling the practices of Zango.
23.
Why might you want to use nofollow on
an internal link?

A. Many sites have shoping carts and
member login or logout links. This type
of link is simply an administrative
function and does nothig to contribute to
site content. The search engine does not
need to index those pages.
24.
Are you familiar with web analytics and
what packages are your familiar with?
A. Yes I am and the tool I use most
frequently is Google’s webmaster tools.
I also use the available Yahoo hosting
tools for my own sites. Knowing what
search terms your visitors are actually
using to find your site as well as where
those visitors are coming from will help
refine SEO efforts. The amount of time
each visitor spends on your site will help
in determining if content changes are
needed.
25.
From an analytics perspective, what is
different between a user from organic
search results vs. a type-in user?
A A user coming into your site from an
organic search usually has never visited
your site before or is performing a
general search for a specific product or
topic. These visitors are trying to find
the site that most suits thier needs. A
“type-in” user is specifally interested in
your website. They may have found your
URL in print advertising or from a
friend. Often, these users are familiar
with what you are offering and are
coming back to your site as a repeat
visitor.
26.
How do you evaluate whether an SEO
campaign is working?
A. The main indicator is to perform a
search on all major search engines using
the keywords/ keyphrases I am
optimizing for. An analysis of those
results will help to determine if
optimization has gained in the results or
lost ground. This analysis should be
done over time as each search engine
will update and index on a varying
schedule. Another aspect is to use
website statistics to determine where
traffic is originating.
27.
What does competitive analysis mean to
you and what techniques do you use?
A. Competitive analysis means taking a
close look at websites that rank highly in
search results and comparing those sites
to the one you are optimizing. They have
employed methods that are working and
are a valuable source for ideas.
28.
If you’ve done 6 months of SEO for a
site and yet there haven’t been any
improvements, how would you go about
diagnosing the problem?
A. I might approach the problem as if it
were an entirely new project. Again
taking a look at the keywords and
phrases that I am attempting to optimize
for and again taking a close inspection of
top ranking competition. If the site is
indexed and does show up in the irst 10
pages of a search but on in the top three,
I would look into modification of major
areas such as page titles, on page text,
and page descriptions. If the site is not
yet indexed or has been dropped from an
index, there are major problems and the
site may require a total re-work and resubmission.
29.
How many target keywords should a site
have?
A. I advise not more than three or four
well related keyword phrases. This
allows for more effective optimization.
30.
You hear a rumor that Google is
weighting the HTML LAYER tag very
heavily in ranking the relevance of its
results – how does this affect your work?
A. It doesn’t unless the rumor proves to
be fact. Yes, I check on the rumor but as
with all rumors, it can have detrimental
effects if you “jump on the band wagon”

and it proves to be just a rumor with no
basis in fact.
31.Why does Google rank Wikipedia for
so many topics?
A. Wikipedia is an established authority!
As such, it is referenced by huge
numbers of other documents with
relevant text associated with links back
to Wikipedia.
32.If salary and location were not an
issue, who would you work for?
A. Myself and only myself if those
conditions existed.

Best SEO Interview Question

  • 1. The process of increasing the amount of visitors to a Web site by ranking high in the search results of a search engine. SEO is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results for targeted keywords. SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine. SEO is aimed at achieving the highest position practically possible in the organic listings on the search engine results pages. To do this you need to define a list of key phrases to work with. It is the art of getting ranked on Google, Yahoo and MSN for the keywords/phrases relevant to your site. And Read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization 2. Describe briefly your general SEO experience? I am working on both OnPage optimization and Offpage optimization. In On page optimization I manage Meta Title, MetaTags (Met Keyword, MetaDiscription), Keyword Suggestion, and Contents Suggestion. And In Off page Optimization Link Building like: - Directory submission, Article submission, Bookmarking (Tagging), Forums Posting, Classified, PR Submission, Search Engine Submission, Creation & submission of Blog, RSS Submission. 3. What do you mean by Robots.txt File? A text file present in the root directory of a site which is used to control which pages are indexed by a robot and which pages are not indexed by a robot or a spider. A text file kept in the root of a website. It tells robots, spiders and crawlers where they are allowed to go and not allowed to go on a website. Search engine robots will check a special file in the root of each server called robots.txt, which is, as you may guess, a plain text file (not HTML). Robots.txt implements the Robots Exclusion Protocol, which allows the web site administrator to define what parts of the site are off-limits to specific robot user agent names. Web administrators can disallow access to cgi, private and temporary directories, for example, because they do not want pages in those areas indexed. Entry Meaning User-agent: * The asterisk (*) in the User-agent field is shorthand for "all robots".
  • 2. Disallow: Because nothing is disallowed, everything is allowed. User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin/ Disallow: /tmp/ Disallow: /private/ In this example, all robots can visit every directory except the three mentioned. User-agent: BadBot Disallow: / In this case, the BadBot robot is not allowed to see anything.

Although search engine is really a general class of programs, the term is often used to specifically describe systems like Alta Vista and Excite that enable users to search for documents on the World Wide Web and USENET newsgroups. Search Engine Ranking is the position of a site on a particular search engine. Typically search engine users visit only high ranking sites, so a high position is important. Search engine ranking is a measure of the online promotional success of a web page or website. Search Engine Positioning: Typically, a search engine works by sending out a spider to fetch as many documents as possible. Another program, called an indexer, then reads these documents and creates an index based on the words contained in each document. Each search engine uses a proprietary algorithm to create its indices such that, ideally, only meaningful results are returned for each query. Webmaster: An individual who manages a Web site. Depending on the size of the site, the Webmaster might be responsible for making sure that the web server hardware and software is running properly designing the web site, creating and updating Web pages, replying to user feedback, creating CGI scripts or monitoring traffic through the site. Internet Marketing: Internet marketing is the act of promoting products and services by increasing a web site's online visibility. Some of these promotion techniques includes: natural search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, e-mail marketing, newsletter distribution, blogging, community forums, article writing and distribution, and banner advertising. Submissions: The act of supplying a URL to a search engine in an attempt to make a search engine aware of a site or page. Keywords: A word used by a search engine in its search for relevant Web pages. Keywords are used by search engines to make the page more easily searchable. Spamming: Excessive manipulation to influence search engine rankings, often for pages which contain little or no relevant content.
  • 11. Doorway page: a page made specifically to rank well in search engines for particular keywords, serving as an entry point through which visitors pass to the main content. Also called a gateway page. A doorway page exists solely (only) for the purpose of driving traffic to another page. They are usually designed and optimized to target one specific keyword. Doorway pages rarely are written for human visitors. They are written for search engines to achieve high rankings and hopefully drive traffic to the main site. Using doorway pages is a violation of the Terms of Service of most search engines and could be grounds for banning. Meta Tags: A special HTML tag that provides information about a Web page. Unlike normal HTML tags, Meta tags do not affect how the page is displayed. Instead, they provide information such as who created the page, how often it is updated, what the page is about, and which keywords represent the page's content. Many search engines use this information when building their indices. It resides in the Head section of HTML or XHTML. Title Tag: This is one of the most important places to have a keyword because what is written inside the <title> tag shows in search results as your page title. HTML tag used to define the text in the top line of a Web browser, also used by many search engines as the title of search listings. The title tag must be short (6 or 7 words at most or near to 70 char. long) and keyword must be near the beginning. Meta Description Tag: Meta description is a summary of information about the web page of the web site. Meta Description Tag plays a key role in search engine optimization processes. Meta Description tag is a combination of few multiple keywords which reflect the content of the web page. Meta Description should contain Max of 30 words length or 260 characters. Meta Description is the combination of primary keyword and secondary keywords / multiple keywords. Keywords Meta tag: The keywords meta-tag is a list of key phrases, separated by commas, reflecting the most important theme of your site, and is used by search engines to find appropriate pages. Try to keep your keywords meta-tag between 200-300 characters in length (20-25 words is a good number) with the most important words and phrases contained within the first 100 characters. There are some guidelines which should follow during the creation of Meta tag according to search engine norms: Do not repeat the same words again in title tag - some search engines treat this as spamming. Ensure you have focused your keywords to reflect your pages. Always avoid to use the stop words like “a”, “and”, “or” and “that”. Always place your META tags above the SSI comment Always place your META tags between HTML’s Head section. Eg. (<head> place Meta tag elements here <head>)
  • 12. Either don’t include your company name in the title tag or add it after few most relevant keywords, phrases into the title tag. Write different title tags for each web page of your website instead of writing a common title page for the complete site. Make sure that each title tag has relevance with the contents of that web page where it appears. Meta Description should contain Max of 30 keywords length or 260 characters. Meta Description is the combination of primary keyword and secondary keywords/multiple keywords. Don’t repeat the same keyword thrice in the Meta Description Tags. At time of writing the Meta Description tags use First letter is caps fallows lower case. Meta Description should be a couple short sentences to a couple paragraphs long. Don’t use too many spaces in Meta Title. Domain: A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com. Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example: gov - Government agencies edu - Educational institutions org - Organizations (nonprofit) mil - Military com - commercial business net - Network organizations ca - Canada th - Thailand Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses. Image Alt Tag: HTML tag that provides alternative text when non-textual elements, typically images, cannot be displayed. The image tag is a very important tag. It directs the browser to either a gif or jpeg file. The browser then displays that image file where the command is placed. Link Popularity: Link popularity is the total number of web sites that link to your site. More on link popularity... Link Popularity is a measure of the quantity and quality of sites that link to your site. A growing number of search engines use link popularity in their ranking algorithms. Google uses it as its most important factor in ranking sites. HotBot, AltaVista, MSN, Inktomi, and others also use link popularity in their formulas. Eventually every major engine will use link popularity, so developing and maintaining it are essential to your search engine placement.
  • 13. Link Farms: A link farm consists of sites that link to other sites for the sole purpose of increasing their link popularity score. Unlike perfectly valid links to sites with related information, sites that participate in link farming contain links to totally unrelated sites. This practice is also referred to as link stuffing. Google hates link farms and labels the links they generate as spam. A website that exists purely to increase the rankings of member’s websites thorough increased link popularity. Any group of Web sites where every member site in the group links to every other member site in the group. Manual Submission: adding a URL to the search engines individually by hand. Landing page: A content-rich doorway used to receive PPC traffic. Copy is written for the visitor, not the search engine, making a sales pitch (usually — I’ve seen a few that meandered pointlessly with fake testimonials). Link baiting: The practice of creating attention-grabbing headlines and seeding links to articles on social media sites for the purpose of generating thousands of links on blogs, forums, and other sites in a very brief period of time. It is assumed that the content is link-worthy, but this is a subjective point. Keyword Density: Most search engines look for keyword density. Some search engine will only look at the first 200-400 characters of your site, and count the number of times the keyword appears. Some index a small amount of text from the top, middle, and bottom parts of your web page, and search them for keywords. Generally keyword density should be in the 6-8% range. Simply repeating the keyword will not work because some search engines consider grammar structure in their calculations. The measure of how many times a keyword is repeated compared to the overall content of a web page. If a keyword was listed 5 times out of a word count of 50 the keyword density would be 10%. Google API: You can use your Google API license key to perform automated queries on Google that complies with Google's term of service agreement. To access the Google Web APIs service, you must create a Google Account and obtain a license key. Your Google Account and license key entitle you to 1,000 automated queries per day. SERP (Search Engine Results Page): The SERP is otherwise known as the Search Engines Results Page. This is the page that users see after typing their search query into an engine. Since conversion starts at the SERP, it is an important job of the search marketer to obtain strong call-to-action listings that produce a high number of click through. SEO Copywriting: Writing specifically for web pages involves incorporating target keywords that tell the search engines what a specific web page is about. Effective SEO copywriting achieves two goals. The first one is, it creates persuasive, informative content for the web site visitor while maintaining an optimum keyword count for the search engines to index. What is link spam? People doing business on the web want their sites to show up as high as possible on the results of a search on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other search engines for relevant keywords. To achieve that goal, some will provide good content and services, others will simply pull dirty tricks.
  • 14. Link spam is such a dirty trick. The more other sites link to a given site, the higher search engines will rank that site.

  • 19. Give me a description of your general SEO experience. A. My experience is mainly with my own site at www.afreshpath.com and one other site www.qualitymotorsreno.com. So far, my site is on page one for narrow search terms involving outdoor recreation in Nevada. The other site has gone from not being listed at all in the first 10 pages of any search result to being in pages 2 and 3 of a couple of search engines. That work is ongoing at this time. 2. Can you write HTML code by hand? A. Yes I can. I do use some WYSIWYG editors and then modify the code by hand as needed. 3. Could you briefly explain the PageRank algorithm? A. In simple terms, Google uses the gross number of inbound links to a page to determine how important the page is. This “pagerank” has little to do with actual search results but can make a difference on user behavior. 4. Have you created any SEO tools either from scratch or pieced together from others? A. No, I do make use of many tools already available on the internet as well as SEO programs that I have purchased. 5. What do you think of PageRank? A. In relation to SEO projects, it is relatively unimportant but can give an indication of how much work needs to be done in gaining inbound links. 6. What do you think of using XML sitemaps? A. I use them. They are an additional tool to help the search engines when they crawl a site. There is no requirement for any sitemap and your pages will get indexed without them if you pay close attention to navigation within your site. 7. What SEO tools do you regularly use? A. Keyword analysis tools, keyword density tools, index checking, backlink checking, wordprocessor to check spelling and grammar, HTML validation and others. 8. Under what circumstances would you look to exclude pages from search engines using robots.txt vs meta robots tag? A. Usually I would use the robots.txt to keep a search engine from indexing an entire directory on a site. This would often be directories dealing with admin functions or directories that only contain script or image libraries. 9. What areas do you think are currently the most important in organically ranking a site? A. Text on page! Search engines utilize text and only text in providing search results. That text is found in many place including the URL and title of your pages as well as the visible text you place on your pages. 10. Do you have experience in copywriting and can you provide some writing samples? A. My experience in “copywriting” is limited to my site at www.afreshpath.com. It is a blog about outdoor recreation in Nevada and so far is placing well in search results. 11. Have you ever had something you’ve written reach the front-page of Digg? Sphinn? Or be Stumbled? A. Not yet! I am not particularly worried about it but I do try to write in such a
  • 20. way that others would be inticed to submit my articles. 12. Explain to me what META tags matter in today’s world. A. The most important META tag for SEO is your page description. Search engines do make use of this tag but it does not outweigh the title or visible text. The META keywords tag is not much of a factor in the major search engines but should not be overlooked. 13. Explain various steps that you would take to optimize a website? A. 1. Interview website owner or webmaster to get a good grasp of the site’s purpose and goals. 2. Perform a keyword analysis to find best performing keywords that should be used for that site and for individual pages of the site 3. Analyze site content to determine usage of relavant keywords and phrases. This includes visible text as well at titles, META tags, and “alt” attributes. 4. Examine site navigation 5. Determine the existence of robots.txt and sitemap and examine those for effectivenes. 6. Make recommendations for changes needed for the site and each individual page. 14. If the company whose site you’ve been workind for has decided to move all of its content to a new domain, what steps would you take? A. I would update the old site with permanent redirects to to new page for every page. Then I would attempt to remove old content from the major search engines to avoid duplicate content issues. 15. Rate from 1 to 10, tell me the most important “on page” elements A. #1 issue is visible text being relevant to expected search terms. # 2 would then be page titles # 3 is navigation and “alt” attributes for navigation items and link text. # 4 would be “alt” attributes for images and other media presented on pages. 16. What do you think about link buying? A. I discourage the practice for the most part. There are more effective means of paid marketing. One exception would be purchasing listings in highly reputable directories such as Yahoo directory. 17. What is Latent Semantic Analysis (LSI Indexing)? A. LSI indexing ries to overcome the limitations of “literal” search term matching . For example, if someone is searching for “hiking in Norhter Nevada” a literal search would only match the words used without taking into account words such as “hike”, “hiked”. LSI can give more relevant results because it does take word usage and context into account determining what a page is “about” rather than a strict reliance on literal wording. 18. What is Phrase Based Indexing and Retrieval and what roles does it play? A. In regards to search results, it is a method that search engines such as google use to determine relevance of a page based on phrases acutally used in a document. For example, if you have a page instructing people on wildlife photography, the search engine would reasonably expect to see terms and phrases such as “selecting a camera”, “appraoching wildlife”, and “low light photo conditions”. Related phrases will add to the relevance of a page where unrelated phrases will reduce the relevance of a page. This is one technique that Google is using to weed out “spam” sites. 19.
  • 21. What is the difference between SEO and SEM? A. Seo is search engine optimization and is the process you use in getting your pages to place well on search results. SEM is search engine marketing and involves purchasing advertising space on search result pages. Sponsored listings are SEM. Both are related though! When using Google Adwords, the better you optimize your pages for search, the less you will be paying for your selected keywords in the PPC campaign and the better placment your ads will get. 20. What kind of strategies do you normally implement for backlinks? A. I check the competitors backlinks to find hightly relevant sites and request a link from them. If reciprocal linking is required, I may be able to place a lik back to them in a relevant portion of a page on the site but if not, I will state so and may not gain that link. Another method I use is to submit press releases to relevant media. 21. What role does social media play in an SEO strategy? A. Social media such as social networking sites and news sites can provide for viral marketing. Viral marketing has proven to be powerful if the content of a site is appealing. 22. What things wouldn’t you to do increase rankings because the risk of penalty is too high? A. I would avoid any site with the appearance of a link farm. I would also avoid any “spam” practice such as unsolicited email campaigns, certain affiliate advertising sites, sites that redirect visitors to your site, and anything resembling the practices of Zango. 23. Why might you want to use nofollow on an internal link? A. Many sites have shoping carts and member login or logout links. This type of link is simply an administrative function and does nothig to contribute to site content. The search engine does not need to index those pages. 24. Are you familiar with web analytics and what packages are your familiar with? A. Yes I am and the tool I use most frequently is Google’s webmaster tools. I also use the available Yahoo hosting tools for my own sites. Knowing what search terms your visitors are actually using to find your site as well as where those visitors are coming from will help refine SEO efforts. The amount of time each visitor spends on your site will help in determining if content changes are needed. 25. From an analytics perspective, what is different between a user from organic search results vs. a type-in user? A A user coming into your site from an organic search usually has never visited your site before or is performing a general search for a specific product or topic. These visitors are trying to find the site that most suits thier needs. A “type-in” user is specifally interested in your website. They may have found your URL in print advertising or from a friend. Often, these users are familiar with what you are offering and are coming back to your site as a repeat visitor. 26. How do you evaluate whether an SEO campaign is working? A. The main indicator is to perform a search on all major search engines using the keywords/ keyphrases I am optimizing for. An analysis of those results will help to determine if optimization has gained in the results or lost ground. This analysis should be done over time as each search engine
  • 22. will update and index on a varying schedule. Another aspect is to use website statistics to determine where traffic is originating. 27. What does competitive analysis mean to you and what techniques do you use? A. Competitive analysis means taking a close look at websites that rank highly in search results and comparing those sites to the one you are optimizing. They have employed methods that are working and are a valuable source for ideas. 28. If you’ve done 6 months of SEO for a site and yet there haven’t been any improvements, how would you go about diagnosing the problem? A. I might approach the problem as if it were an entirely new project. Again taking a look at the keywords and phrases that I am attempting to optimize for and again taking a close inspection of top ranking competition. If the site is indexed and does show up in the irst 10 pages of a search but on in the top three, I would look into modification of major areas such as page titles, on page text, and page descriptions. If the site is not yet indexed or has been dropped from an index, there are major problems and the site may require a total re-work and resubmission. 29. How many target keywords should a site have? A. I advise not more than three or four well related keyword phrases. This allows for more effective optimization. 30. You hear a rumor that Google is weighting the HTML LAYER tag very heavily in ranking the relevance of its results – how does this affect your work? A. It doesn’t unless the rumor proves to be fact. Yes, I check on the rumor but as with all rumors, it can have detrimental effects if you “jump on the band wagon” and it proves to be just a rumor with no basis in fact. 31.Why does Google rank Wikipedia for so many topics? A. Wikipedia is an established authority! As such, it is referenced by huge numbers of other documents with relevant text associated with links back to Wikipedia. 32.If salary and location were not an issue, who would you work for? A. Myself and only myself if those conditions existed.
