Many people focus Google for SEO as it is very popular. Similar guidelines apply as well to the other search engines like yahoo and Bing.
SEO
Dos:
You should feed Google and other search engines what they are
looking for. Always use reputable and strong techniques that Google
and other search engines recognize. SEO is very effective internet
marketing technique but you should remember it is an on-going process
not an event.
It is worth the efforts because the Return on
Investment is substantial. The organic conversion rate from SEO
effort is as high as ten times the rate from PPC and it is definitely
profitable as it is much cheaper than PPC.
There are two kinds of optimizations:
On-site optimization and
Off-site optimization
The On-site optimization consists of going through the website and continuously optimizing it over the time with keywords since search engine indexes website on those keywords. It requires optimizing tags like title tag, Meta keywords, Meta description, heading tags, Alt tags and anchor tags. While updating website you need to take care in balancing the keywords against conversion rates.
The
SEO Off-site optimization aims
for going off your website and attracting search engine to your
website on high authority as well as high traffic websites that has
been highly praised, mostly focusing on free and paid directories
that most of people are constantly scanning. These directories can
help to get your website quickly indexed in search engine like
Google.
Next step is to keep pushing up the ranking by
continuously developing quality inbound links to your website. To do
so, regularly visit to search engine friendly directories that drive
the website popularity and also get links from websites that have
higher authorities and make them linked to your website but you need
to make sure that they are relevant to your business niche.
SEO
Don'ts:
Now look into what to
avoid when optimizing your website. You should be aware of the Black
Hat SEO techniques because they tricks search engines in order to
push website high in the organic rankings.
You should avoid
these techniques as there is high risk of being penalized and thrown
out of the search engine result pages.
These techniques were
useful in the past and now it is not entertained by Google anymore as
its search algorithm are constantly changing to detect such kind of
illegal links.
Google has published webmaster quality
guidelines that indicates list of activities that are against its
guidelines.
