When moving your business into the world of ecommerce and constructing your website, one of the first things you need to prepare is SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). And one of the most important things to do with SEO is keyword research to make sure your target consumers can find you to access your products and services.
When you have completed your keyword research you need to build your websites content around it. In order for search engines to pick up your website the keywords really need to be in the body of your content, there are a few different ways of doing this in terms of keyword placement.
A big mistake made by many is to put an under construction age onto their live website. You do not want search engines to index pages with no content, always take your site live when its completely ready to go with content on every page.
To make your website search engine friendly, you need to have a URL that’s short and simple. Search engines like clean, static URL’s with pages named according to keywords targeted on each of the pages, and keywords in URL’s is something else search engines like alot. Always keep your websites pages close to the root directory.
Every website requires a very strong navigation system in order for potential customers and search engine spiders to work with. Link pages on every page of the website, you should create as many links as possible so that search engine robots can spider your website. All websites should also have a textual sitemap which contains links to the important pages of the website.
In addition to a textual sitemap one other technique that you can use to make sure all your pages are indexed in the search engines is a search engine sitemap (or an XML sitemap). It lists all the pages of your website in XML format. Earlier search engines required you to manually submit these sitemaps but recent changes by the search engines allow you to just mention the location of the XML sitemap in the robots.txt file and then search engines can automatically pick the sitemap from there.
As well as a textual sitemap another way to make sure your pages are indexed by search engines would be to add a search engine sitemap (or an XML sitemap). This will list your websites pages in XML format, as software technology has moved on so have search engines and whereas before you had to submit each sitemap, now you need only show the search engine the location to the robot.txt and they pick it up themselves.
I hope the tips I’ve provided come of use to you but I’d still recommend seeking advice from a good internet marketing company if you want to make it big on the web. They can provide all kinds of services to boost your presence on the internet and get you known.
