SEO Web Design - Some Tips to Build a Search Engine Friendly Website

February 9th, 2009

Having a search engine friendly website is very important to your business. When your website is search engine friendly, you can get your website to rank well for important keywords on search engines and increase the overall organic traffic to it.

Therefore, if you are thinking of building a website or you already have a website, you might want to consider making it search engine friendly. I understand that having a beautiful website is very important because you need to project a good corporate image to your clients. However, having a beautiful website often conflicts directly with having a search engine friendly site. for more detials:-www.greatseosecrets.com.Search engines are blind towards the visual design of your site; so in order to rank well on search engines, you need to make sure that your website has good website structure.

Let me share with you some tips to build a search engine friendly website:

   1. Make sure that your website is not built on Flash technology. A website that is built on Flash technology will prevent search engines from reading the content on your site. When they are not able to read the content on your site, you do not stand a chance to rank well for important keywords.
   2. Avoid using frames to build your website. Like Flash technology, frames prevent search engines from reading the content on your site and therefore you should avoid using frames to build your website at all cost.
   3. Place important keywords in the Title and Meta tags of your site. You should place keywords that you intend to rank well in the Title and Meta tags of your site. Title tag should be unique on every page, and the keywords you choose to place in the tag of a page should be relevant to the content of that page. for visit detials:-www.offline-promotion.com. Also, avoid using auxiliary words like "a", "the", "and" in your Title tag. These words are too common, and search engines do not consider them. The impact of a TITLE tag is diluted if it includes auxiliary words. So omit auxiliary words whenever possible.
   4. Ensure that the URLs of your site are search engine friendly. Some websites are built on technology that can generate pages on the fly. Although it is great for getting your site online quickly and easily, the URLs are not descriptive at all and therefore not search engine friendly. An example of a non-search engine friendly URL is as followed: /index.php?category=1&id=1. Even though search engines can read this kind of URL, a website with search engine services-package.html usually perform much better when it comes to SEO.
   5. Make sure that your site contains text link navigation. Some websites use images as link navigation which prevents search engines from following the links through your site and therefore will not be able to index all the pages of your website.

Having a search engine friendly website is a prerequisite of SEO. Before SEO can be implemented, you need a SEO friendly web design. Hope these tips have given you a guideline on what to look out for when you decide to revamp or create a new website for your company.

Being a webmaster is a much more important job than most companies would dare admit. Webmasters are responsible for the company web presence on every level, from the website copy to the web and email server administration. Additionally, webmasters are often tasked even more duties that should be considered unrelated responsibilities for the position of webmaster. These extra duties often will include online as well as offline promotion and marketing, search optimization, advertising, application programming, graphic design and/or brand management. The role of the webmaster has grown over the years and webmasters need to grow with the company's expectations or the website will not succeed. For instance, it is easy to get banned from the search engines for not knowing the correct methods to use to optimize a website for a better results ranking from the search engines for any particular search phrase.

This is why Webmastery is here, not just to offer direction and assist webmasters, but to do so masterfully, as you expect of yourself, or as your company expects out of you.
 

Since I am an American and know only American English and SEO methods, I specialize in American Webmastery. Hence the domain name, Webmastery.US.
 

However, please note that often both sides of the coin are presented here. Some webmasters swear by Linux and we offer articles by such authors to give insight to their creativity. Others are die-hard Microsoft software fans and use Windows based servers. Despite the bias, each system has its own advantages, and such articles are reprinted here for their positive contribution to those platforms, not to enforce their bias. It is we that have to make the final analysis.
 

This difference is even more apparent when I am showcasing and promoting white hat SEO (search engine optimization) and a black hat SEO article is published here, which method if followed could get a website banned from the search engines. The reason I allow it a small platform is to showcase its apparent and obvious idiocy in contrast to white hat SEO techniques. And as I cannot edit these articles in order to correct them, I let their illogicality and stupidity stand on their own for a time without any edits. But in case their spaminess is not apparent, I often do not let such articles stand long.
