Adding fresh and related content to your website that includes the page keyword, is an important search engine optimization (SEO) task which will help your page rankings. The Internet is full of free article services that allow instant access to thousands of relevant articles for your website. A great place to search for articles for your site is ezinearticles.com. You can select which articles are added according to category, keywords and subject matter. Take a few minutes once a week or at least monthly to add some fresh content to your site. Search engines and visitors alike will reward you for your effort.

TIP:  Use the search term “article directories” to find many sites from where you can get free content. Keep in mind one of the requirements for using free articles on your site is that you have to include the author’s resource box. This is no big deal though. The gain you get by providing fresh content far out weighs any impact the author’s resource box may bring.

15 Ways to Get Website Traffic for FREE

freebie

There are basically two ways to get website traffic. You can buy it, or you can get it for free. I’ve tried both methods over the years, and although the easiest way to drive traffic to your site is to use Pay Per Click marketing, I don’t recommend it. That’s because if you’re not careful you can spend a fortune buying website traffic and end up with a bad website ROI. I mean why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? However if you prefer the easy way and you have spare money check out… [Read the rest of this entry...]

Do Page Title And Description Impact SEO?

The short answer is absolutly yes. The Title and Description are contained in Meta Tags located in the header section of each web page. Each of these tags should be specific to the content of the page they represent on the site. That is each page should have its own Title, Keywords or Keyphrases and Description. Title should be no more than 70 characters, and the description 150 characters or less. The Keywords can be up to 10 but it is more practical to use 2 to 3 keywords/keyphrases per page. A common mistake is to have one set of these tags for the entire site. The tags need to match page content for best SEO results, ummm, rather the page content should match and support the information in these tags .

The Title tag may be the single most important aspect of SEO. Your Title should contain your important keywords and those keywords should be as close to the beginning of the Title as possible. Search Engines use the Title tag as the first factor for determining what your site is about. Making it easy for the search engines to figure out what your site is about is what SEO is about.

The Title is also useful to a visitor as it is displayed at the top left hand side of the Browser and on the Browser Tab. The title should be succinct but loaded with your keywords, keeping in mind there is limited display space in the 2 Browser locations mentioned. 

The Description Tag has a lesser value in SEO but on the other hand it has a high value for traffic. The Description is used by most search engines as the text to display in the search results. You should take the time to develop descriptions as an extension of your site marketing. After all it is likely to be the first content or text seen with regard to your site. Think of the Description as a catch all marketing slogan to get searchers to visit your site.
