SEO – Scope and Methodology

 

SEO has matured with time and its algorithms and hence its definitions have

changed enormously in order to cope up with the changing requirements. There are

no standard algorithms followed by all search engines. Every search engine has

defined their own algorithms to rank pages as well as position pages prior to a

search on certain keyword. Lack of standard algorithms has made this task very

difficult, as there are no definite ways with which one can achieve this. No search

engine discloses their search engine algorithms. However, many practices have been

devised based upon continuous research and after monitoring the behavior of search

engines to certain keywords.

Every search engine has its own unique criteria for determining the type of pages

they consider the most “relevant” for a given search. Therefore, a page that ranks

well in one engine may rank poorly in another. Few search engines may like to see

META tags, other may not. Some search engines look for keywords in the ALT tag of

a graphic image, and others do not.

Search engines could be broadly classified as:

 

1)     Directory Engines: Sometimes referred to as catalogs, these are the

engines that manage their own directory of categorized websites. The

content of the major directories are often licensed and used by other

search engines. Therefore, inclusion in one directory can get listed among

different search engines.

2)     Crawler Based Search Engines: As the web is growing, it has become

almost impossible to manage indexing of large number of sites by human

reviewers. However, Crawlers are the solution to these. These are the

intelligently programmed robots (or crawlers) that visit a site and index

the site according to its contents.

3)     Hybrid Search Engines: Most engines fall into the general “search

engine” category. They often combine crawler-based search results with a

human reviewed directory of Web sites. These search engines rank page

at least in part by the content of the page. Some people call these engines

“hybrids” since they combine technologies from both directory and

crawler-based engines.

4)     Pay per Click: Instead of ranking pages by their actual content, these

engines will rank sites based on who pays the most per click to be listed

for the keyword being searched. You can place bids for top positions on

these sites in an auction-like environment. Top positions can sometimes

be secured for as little as one cent per click (i.e., visitor to your site).

Many major search engines include several Pay per Click listings in a

“Sponsored” or “Featured” portion of their search results.

Following methodology will be used for Search Engine Optimization:

 

Keywords

 

A special emphasis should be given while selecting keywords. This could be

explained with the help of WHAT.

  • Which keywords are to be used?
  • How these could be found?
  • About keywords
  • True Count

Which keywords are to be used?

 

Rather than answering this question, we should define which keywords

are not to be used. Basically, we can use any keyword except for

keywords, which are somebody’s trademark.

 

How these could be found?

Finding relevant and potential keywords is really difficult and it’s the

most time consuming part in the whole search engine optimization

process. This plays most important role in Search Engine Optimization.

Keywords can be found using following links and later using Keyword

Generator to remove duplicates and shortlist the final list:

About keywords

Keywords should be relevant to the page content.

 

True Count

Total word count must be 250 to 600 on a single web page (except

html tags). Less or more words may diminish the chance of getting

better rank.

 

Keyword Density (KD)

At its most basic level, KD refers to the percentage of total words on the page

that are keywords. So, for example, to be properly optimized, you might need

a 3% KD on Google and a 2% KD on Alta Vista. 2%-3% is considered a good

keyword density

 

Formulas for calculating KD (Keyword Density)

KW Density (KD) = Occurrence / Unique words

KW Density (KD) = Occurrence / Total words

 

Where total words would be the number of the words written in body

excluding the html tags and Occurrence would be the number of a particular

keyword. Keyword Density would be calculated for individual Keywords.

 

Keyword Prominence (KP)

This is a measure of the placement of keywords on your pages. So it’s

important to not only have the correct number of keywords, but to ensure

that they’re in the correct positions throughout your pages. As with KD, each

search engines has a different optimal KP. Same Keyword should not come

more than once successively as this may lead to search engine spamming.

 

Link Popularity (LP)

LP is a measure of the quantity and quality of incoming links to your site. Like

the other metrics, there’s more to LP than meets the eye. It’s not enough to

go out and convince thousands of other sites to link to your site. Having lots

of links helps, but if they’re not the right kind of links, the effect will be

minimal.

 

Internal Linking Structure (ILS)

Website’s ILS can have a major impact on your search engine rankings. If

your ILS isn’t properly optimized, the effect of your optimization efforts in

other areas will be greatly diminished.

 

There are 2 factors that determine the Internal linking structure:

 

             I.      Broken Link: The site must not have any broken link. Broken link

means a link that follows a page that does not exist.

           II.      Dead Link: The page that does not have any link on it. These sorts

of pages should be avoided.

 

Robots

Some search engines also support the robots property for indicating whether

a document should be indexed and whether its links should be followed. The

associated CONTENT value is a comma-separated list of case-insensitive

directives. Few search engines support the robots property at this time. For

greater compliance by robots, authors should use the Robots Exclusion

Protocol if possible.

Page Rank

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its

vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. The current

policy followed by Google is that Google interprets a link from page A to page

B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer

volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts

the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more

heavily and help to make other pages “important.” That is why providing

hundreds of inbound links is must for Search Engine Rankings. Important,

high-quality sites receive a higher Page Rank, which Google remembers each

time it conducts a search. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated

text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant

to your search. Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears

on a page and examines all aspects of the page’s content (and the content of

the pages linking to it) to determine if it’s a good match for your query. We

will be submitting your optimized website at thousands of good page ranked

directories, search engines, guestbooks etc. We will go for an all out

campaign to increase your PageRank.

 

Traffic Analyzer

Traffic Analyzer = Traffic + Analyzer

  •  Traffic:

Traffic is volume of visitors to a website. Traffic is the currency of

online success but is not the only factor. Massive, low-grade traffic to

a website with poor content will inevitably result in failure

  • Analyzer:

Analyzer is an instrument or device or a tool, which can determine

qualitatively and quantitatively the components of the traffic.

This is basically a tool to analyze the traffic or the nature of the traffic.

We use AWSTATS for this purpose but if the website is hosted on some

other server, than AWSTATS needs to be installed and configured.

  • Report:

Following things are analyzed and mentioned in the detailed report

    1. Summary
    2. Number of visits in a day
    3. Weekly report

And there are n number of ways and m number of parameters with

which you may analyze a particular URL.
