Many methods are needed to take into considerations, and for me On Page Optimization is one of the fundamentals in SEO. It is important not only to help websites get higher ranking in search engines, but also to ensure that it is readable by normal visitors. Below are some of the methods to help you on your campaign. I understand that I haven’t yet tackle this so I will show what I know about this particular topic.

Title optimization is the most first important element, and it should be short but descriptive enough of what the website is all about. It is the tag that search engine first looks for. Of course, if you choose a title, it does not necessarily means that you are the only one that have that. Your role now is to think of set of keywords that best promote your brand or business name. Get a keyword or keywords that is well searched and try to research for it to have just a little or modest competition as possible.

The next one is optimization of Meta Tags. Like the title tag, the Meta Description is as important as any other tags that needed to be optimized. It should contain the main purpose of the website and choose the right keywords that aptly relevant to your site.

Keyword optimization also needed to be maintained in one’s site. Balancing between content and keywords is an important task in SEO. Stuffing the content with keywords will do more harm than good. Search engines do not like to index a page that has a high keyword density compared to the entire content and is not completely related to each other. Do your homework first. Be sure to research for keywords that are mostly searched and create unique content that encompasses a small number of keywords. You can also include long tail keywords and use synonyms to replace duplicate keywords.

Optimizing your Internal and External Links is a big yes. Your internal links must be descriptive enough to promote the keywords. The anchor text should be related to other internal pages. Make sure that there is no broken link in your website and will still connect to your homepage no matter how deep the pages are.

Images and videos are not well read by search engines so make sure that you put description on it. The Alt Text is used to put description on the image and shows up when you hover your mouse over a picture. Put relevant keywords. As for the filename of the images, please put a real filename that is understandable like “my-first-phone.jpg“ and not just a bunch of letters and numbers like DSC1583.jpg. Put also pertinent image title just like the description. A good example of a title tag for image: [img src=”http://imagelocation.jpg” alt=”Image description” title=”Title of the Image”], just replace with essential words. It is also best to put the image keywords whenever you put a link to the image, instead of just putting “click here”.

All of these factors are nonsense if you do not have a good and unique content to implement with. As everyone well knows, content is king, and fresh content is like a good king making his daily responsibilities to his sovereignty. No one wants a king who just sits on his throne everyday and not doing anything productively. So make sure that you create new content, as search engines love it. It is not a prerequisite to daily add something, but at least once in while will do and not be dormant for a couple of weeks or months.

It is a good habit to write naturally as what you would like people to read it and not just pleasing the search engines, because if the content or the template of the website is unreadable, then you will lose visitors, and traffic is one of the criteria of search engines to see if your site is worth its page rank. Traffic is also one gauge for affiliate programs or companies to see if they can invest in your site for advertisements, because no one wants to show ads on a website that the owner is the only one that is viewing it. I hope that my own understanding of On Page Optimization provides some useful information.
