You don’t want to build your SEO strategy on a

Weak Foundation.




Following Website

Can help solve that problem.
Have a clear   HIERARCHY           and      TEXT LINKS.
Try to use text rather than   IMAGES
Make sure your <title> and ALT tags are       DESCRIPTIVE
                                                (and accurate).

BIG HINT: Try reading
Google’s Webmaster Guidelines
first, it’s a great place to get started.
A big part of SEO is your site structure.


A strong site structure is what makes up a


                      strategy.
All the pieces of your site structure need to sync up.

Stale content is a surefire way to         KILL YOUR SEO.

 Smart Marketers know that keeping your content fresh and
targeting your keywords is one of the best ways to optimize.




             (Don’t let your stale content do this to your SEO)
It’s important that you keep your content   FRESH.
Make sure that you have both   HTML and XML          sitemaps.

Content should be   KEYWORD - RICH.


Free Tools: SeoQuake (keyword density checker),
Xenu Link Checker (Build an HTML sitemap), XML Sitemap
Generator (Build an XML Sitemap).
Link building is an essential aspect of your SEO.


Unfortunately, building links is harder than it sounds.



         But…



There are some tricks you can use.   A SECRET SAUCE
There are basically two   “LEGAL”   things you can do to get links.

1. Ask your   WEBMASTER FRIENDS             to link to you.

2. Find websites in your industry and   REQUEST LINKS.


 BONUS TIP: Links from relevant websites that
 relate to your company hold more weight in search
 engines (they’re better).
Nearly   1 BILLION      people look for specific content each day.


That’s a lot of potentially relevant



 TIP: RSS isn’t just for Blogs!

 Tool: FeedBurner - Permits people to
   subscribe for regular updates, delivered
   automatically via a web portal, news
   reader, or email.
The   question is, who’s going to win?
If you take anything away from this presentation

make sure you




 1.    SEO can help you customers find you, have a better experience on your
       website and buy from you more easily.


 2.    SEO is made up of both on-page and off-page optimization and both are
       essential for a strong, sustainable strategy.


 3.    SEO doesn’t start once your website is built. It’s an ongoing process that
       needs to be a part of every aspect of a website design and build to ensure
       that your website is optimized from the beginning.
