Google best search engine optimization (seo) practices - part 1
This article will guide you through the important steps on how to create and maintain sites in Google. If you have an existing site, use this as a mention to ensure that you are doing everything right. I am going to reappraisal 5 areas at a time.
First things first… the sphere name quandary. Your sphere name should be brandable. Keyword rich with hyphens type of sphere are not thirster relevant. Focus on a .com since it is the one searchers will enter when not sure about extensions, and is the easiest to brand. As far as registering it, do it for more than one year since this helps with the “trustbox” in Google. If you have many related domain names for the same content it is ever good to only take one as the main sphere and to redirect (301) any others to it. This way, you can make sure not to have extra content issues.
Less is more, when it comes to web designing. Your text content should outweigh your html code. Make sure your code is “hunt engine friendly”. That is a big different with being W3C compliant. The W3C is too limited, and a lot of code warnings will appear with absolutely acceptable code. Their proof system is merely outdated. You want to be hunt engine compliant, not W3C compliant. Keep this in mind.
Javascript and CSS, in code or out? Good inquiry. JavaScript and CSS should be in external files. They will addition page size otherwise. Specially when having the same code for menus or styles on multiple pages, when this can be easy fixed by doing it externally.
Demystifying the page size limit. There is NOT page size restriction here. There you have it. The 101kb limit thing is perfectly incorrect. But do not take this the wrong way. You need to make sure the size of your page is about 40K on average. Up to 50K is OK. Consider loading time as a factor, and the text/graphics ratio is very important.
Web hosting solutions and their impact. Use your own dedicated server whenever possible. Make sure you have a static IP address assigned to either individual domains or groups of domains, and make sure that it is clean, by not being in any blacklist. |
