Good Content Plus Links Equals Search Engine Optimisation Success

September 23rd, 2008 by

It is an extremely simplified view of search engine optimisation but gives a basic overview of what is important in any search engine optimisation campaign; keyword optimised content and high quality, relevant links. Search engines, in actual fact, consider over one hundred different factors when they rank a web page so they clearly consider more than just keyword density and the number of links a web page has attracted. The formula does, however, provide a good basis for search engine optimisation success.

What Is Good Content

Creating good content isn’t as easy as it sounds and before you begin writing and adding website content you should first conduct keyword research in order to generate a list of the most beneficial keywords for your SEO campaign. This research should consider how well targeted each keyword is, how competitive they are, and how much traffic they will generate as well as their relevancy and performance.

Search Engine Optimisation Keyword Research

Search Engine Optimisation keyword research will often benefit from some competitor site analysis. Spying on the websites of your main competitors may seem underhanded but those sites at the very top of the results have almost certainly done the very same thing in order to get where they are. Competitor site analysis will not only help indicate some of the keywords you may want to target but can also provide details of resources to generate links and much more.

Semantically Related Search Engine Optimisation Keywords

Good Search Engine Optimisation website content is keyword optimised and natural. As well as using a handful of the keywords you discovered during the keyword research process you might consider adding semantically or topically related keywords to pages in order to help with semantic indexing. Semantic indexing is a form of indexing documents according to topics and topically relevant groups of keywords rather than by a single keyword so a website can perform better if its Search Engine Optimisation includes semantic keywords.

Appealing Content Makes Good Linkbait

Keyword rich content should also be appealing to visitors, offer genuine information, and be written so that it is primarily appealing to visitors. An ongoing and major aspect of SEO is the building of high quality and relevant links and by offering such high quality content you can attract links naturally from other websites based on the same topic as your own site. However, it is likely that you will need to use more artificial methods to at least start the link building process. There are many ways of building links to web pages including article marketing and directory submissions. The biggest challenge in SEO is finding regular, new sources of links for a web page.

SEO And Your Website

SEO generates targeted, driven website visitors and is considered to be the least expensive but most beneficial source of online traffic by many Webmasters and marketers. While it is an incredibly simplistic and generalised view of Search Engine Optimisation, the addition of good quality content and the building of links are the two primary considerations in any SEO campaign.

    Content and Links are key to good SEO I could not agree more. I have found this to be the case. In fact I love to use a few power links like yahoo directory and business.com to skyrocket rankings for my clients I just have to sell them on the cost which is usually not an issue. One thing I need to know more about is CSS. What is the deal with this? Does CSS typically cause noticeable SEO problems? What major things do you need to look out for?
