What is SEO

SEO is acronym of Search Engine Optimization or Optimizer. To own a website will not mean much thing if nobody visit it. To make it more visible to your users SEO working for optimize your website to be found on search engines. Especially Google because it is massively using by internet users. There are other engines too like yahoo, bing, altavista etc.. Also there are local ones like in China or Russia and very popular like Baidu and Yandex. But the term SEO especially used for Google. You like or dislike Google is like monopol in search engines.

Search engines are softwares usually work with an algorithm. Of course it is closed code for some reasons. They call it with different names such as robot, bot, spider, ant, crawler,....

How they optimize it? It is wide range term. Including html tags, meta tags, web design, contents, backlinks, ping backs, keywords, ...

How can we optimize our website or blog?

First of all whatever you play or do tricks in your site you will still need a content. It is better than any trick. very natural one. You have to think about why should i visit this website or why should i visit it back again? After you follow this you should also know it takes time especially if you are not a Facebook  like or yahoo like website do not forget they are not one person managed websites and you are alone. After this things you can start to optimize your site or blog.

Many people says your blog or site must be related with your content. Ok what about if it is portal type blog or site? That means you should consider your each entry or post or content whatever you name it as one page. I do not agree with this your site must be related with contents thing.

Anyway I will link here topics about SEO. like this one Robot.txt

Robot.txt

Robot.txt  is a file a text file which allows robots, search engines crawl your site better. It is not only for google bot but any search engine bots or even can be for any robot whose aim is different than searching.


You can simply write there

User-agent: *
Allow: /

What it means?" User-agent:*"   stands for any robot. Allow: / it is allowing robot search your website.

How to create a robot.txt for blogger

On dashboard, settings, search preferences find custom robot.txt. Usually default settings is disabled for it. But you can change it. Click to edit and Enable custom robots.txt content? choose yes. And underneath text area write what i wrote on top.

And top of it there is a message warn you " Warning! Use with caution. Incorrect use of these features can result in your blog being ignored by search engines.". It is true it can cause search engine ignore your site for example if you write there; "Disallow: /" instead of "Allow:/" .

Lets say you want to write it only for google. It can be. Because some malware and malicious robots can enter site if you allow any robot such as email collectors, etc..

User-agent: Google
Disallow:

User-agent: *
Dissallow: /

But this will result only google bot can crawl your site but not other search engines.

How we can use it on website not in the blog. You can use it on html meta tags between head tags. For example <meta content=robots.....


<meta name="robots" content="all" />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />

and if you want they not follow a link you should put inside href tag this  rel="nofollow"

Alexa, Quantcast, Complete Rank

How can you know what your website ranking? There are several ways but some websites provide this service. Most famous one is alexa which is a product of amazon. It is the big and most popular one. Other alternatives can be quantcast and complete rank.

How to use alexa? It has a toolbar. So i suggest you to download it and use it. It is more practical. It will tell you any websites rank automatically  you visit. Also you can visit the website and get more detailed analyse. For keywords search you can use it too. I always use alexa too.

Quantcast, you need to sign up, register etc.. I do not like it much but it is quiet good an alternative for alexa.

Complete rank i did not check it yet so i do not know much but i will soon.

You can also use google trends for checking keywords.
