“Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web page in search engines via the “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine’s users. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a website web presence.”

So you want to increase you Google search ranking?

Google, Yahoo and MSN the three major search engines and a host of other smaller search engines have been tweaking their algorithms to make their searches more relevant and useful to their users.

Over the decade or more of their existence despite large scale changes to the way they present their links and changes in the weight-age given to various on-page and off-page factors – one aspect that has retained its prime position is ‘inbound links’.

The inbound links have always been valued. At various times different types of links – one-way, reciprocal, links from authority pages, advertising links, links from high pr sites, links from related websites have been deemed to more valuable than others. But one-way links have always been more valued than reciprocal and authority links more than links from ordinary websites.

Experts suggest directory link submission to get quality, themed one-way links from authority web directories.

People have tried various methods like building thousands of dummy pages using software, dummy websites and other spamming techniques to hoodwink the search engine spiders get ranked high in search results but eventually they have been found out and thrown out of the indexes.

Websites that have organically and over time with the right methods will benefit in the long run. Many suggest directory link submission process to be the one of the best and most successful methods of link building.

Automated software that submit websites to hundreds of website directories in minutes have helped ethical website owners to build hundreds of quality one-way links in a short period of time. This same task can take months or even years depending upon your pace when done by hand.

But is this enough for a Google No.1 position?

SEO experts not only suggest directory link submissions, but also on-page optimization for keyword density, keywords in title and meta tags, keyword rich description, good quality content, clean navigation, clear internal linking structure and off-page factors like inbound links of various types including those from the directories.

Too many links with same title and description and keywords may attract penalties from the search engines. So, experts who suggest directory link submission using automated software also suggest using software that uses multiple descriptions, titles and keywords to vary and submit in random to the various directories.

Also, try to get links from the bigger, authority websites in your niche. This will give a big boost to your website rankings.

If possible find the niche directories that cater to your niche and get as many links as possible from these pages. If possible get one-way to particular pages in your websites. This is called deep linking and valued by the search engines.

Once you reach a certain target in your linking campaign SEO experts suggest link directory submissions to continue but with a modification. They advise website owners to get the links from more relevant, related topic websites.

Modern Sitemap and Footer

Back in the old days, almost every website had a sitemap where they listed out all the pages. The purpose of the sitemap is to help visitors and search engine spiders to find information on the site. Now, a lot of modern websites have dropped the sitemap page, instead they place the sitemap in the footer area. I’m going to review 20 websites (from big corporation to small portfolio sites) who organized their footer cleverly to enhance usability.

Benefits of Placing a Sitemap in the Footer

• Engage user click and visit duration:
  As you may know, online readers don’t read everything on the page, they scroll and scan. Footer is probably the last place they look at before exiting. Placing a sitemap in the footer may attract readers’ attention and increase page clicks and views.
• Make sure your visitors are not missing out:
  Sometimes your visitors might be too lazy to click on the sitemap link or miss it all together, having a sitemap in the footer can ensure your visitors are aware of every page.
• Use your footer to promote links:
  You don’t really have to use the footer to list out everything, you can use it as an alternative location to promote important pages.
• Save readers’ time:
  Having a sitemap in the footer allows users to quickly jump from page to page.
• You save the visitors a click:
  By placing the sitemap in the footer rather than a separate page, you save the visitors a click.
• Enhance layout design:
  Don’t know what to put in the footer? Perhaps a sitemap can fill up the page and make your site look bigger.
