Steps for developing good SEO strategy

17. On – Page factors
• On page optimization is the process
by which various elements on an
individual web page are structured
so that the web page can be found
by the search engines for specific
keyword(s) or keyword phrases.
• On page optimization will not
guarantee any top rating within a
search engine, only off page
optimization can offer that
guarantee. However, off page
optimization is far more effective
WHEN on page optimization is in
place.
Off – Page factors
Off page Optimization is optimization
done off the Page, like getting relevant
links from other sites, link exchange
with quality relevant sites, choosing
relevant anchor text from the perfect
location on the different pages of
different sites etc.

11. Understand that a good ranking isn't the end-all and be-all. If you have a ecommerce site what you
ultimately want is more sales.
12. Target keywords that are specific enough to produce targeted traffic, but not so specific that nobody
searches on them.
13. Put your keywords in the Title, heading tags, body copy, and ALT parameters of your pages. Make sure
your keywords are reasonably near the top of the page. Include at least 250 words on each page at a
minimum.
14. Link up your site well internally. Each page of the site should link back to the home page as well as a
handful of the most important pages on the site, as well as pages related to the page in question.
15. Link to high-quality sites which you think will be of interest to your visitors, whether those sites link
back to you or not. Link from your content pages when appropriate as opposed to from a links page.
16. Submit your site to directories (not link farms) particular to your industry.
17. Make your pages lean and fast-loading.
18. Share what you know with others.
