Off Page SEO Services

There are so many peoples who are just starting to blog and many more that have run their own site for a while, that don’t know what SEO is and how to implement it!

SEO simply stands for Search Engine Optimisation. This is where you construct your web pages and implement certain techniques to help your keywords rank as high as possible on search engine result pages (SERPs). The higher your pages can rank on Google/Bing/Yahoo/etc. results pages, the more organic traffic your site is likely to get.

Now, SEO can be split up into two separate categories; On-Page SEO & Off-Page SEO.

On-Page SEO refers to all the things that you can do ON your website to help your keywords rank higher, such as meta titles, internal linking & meta descriptions, etc.

Off-Page SEO refers to all the things that you can do directly OFF your website to help your keywords rank higher, such as social networking, article submission, forum & blog marketing, etc.

In today’s post we will be looking specifically at Off-Page SEO and some of the most effective ways to increase your page rankings on search engines.  

Great Off Page SEO Techniques & Tips:- 

Social Networking Sites:-
Social Networking is bigger than ever these days! Sometimes known as “Online Reputation Management”, getting involved with social media sites is the fundamental step with which you begin to advertise, market and build your online reputation within your niche.

You need to sign up to the most popular social networking sites, such as; Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+, etc., and create yourself a profile of your own. This allows you to extend your online network of contacts, to connect and interact with your friends, to share things with each other, and most importantly promote your website/blog and help build your online reputation.

Blogging :-
Blogging is one of the best ways to promote your website online! By writing a blog for your website, you give a reason for visitors to keep returning to your site and keep up to date with your latest posts. It also helps search engines to crawl your site more frequently, as they have to update your latest blog post entries, which ultimately helps your keywords rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs).

You need to produce and include lots of unique content for your blog, such as; Infographics, Top Lists, How To…Tutorials, Viral Videos, etc. Try to remember to be clear and concise in what you are trying to convey to your readers within your blog posts, don’t waffle.

To help you promote your blog, submit it to niche blog directories and blog search engines. (See below)

If you’re not very good at writing content for your blog, then you could always hire a guest blogger for your blog and ask him/her to write precise and unique content so that your blog can gain more credit from a search engine point of view.

Blog Marketing:-
Post comments on other blogs within the same niche as yours, which allow you to add a link in the comments section. These links can then be crawled by search engines, helping to point them towards your site. These blogs are commonly referred to as “Do-Follow” Blogs (Just like ours, where you can comment below!).  

Forum Marketing:-
Find forums online that are related to your sites niche and get involved within that community. Reply to threads, answer peoples questions, offer advice, etc. This all helps to build up your reputation as someone who is an expert within that niche. Try to use “Do-Follow” Forums so that you can include a link to your site within your signature, which helps search engines crawl your site.

Search Engine Submission:-
 Search engines will eventually find your site online, but that can take a while. To speed everything up, you should submit your website to the most popular search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.

Directory Submission:-
Many people may say that directory submission is dead! I believe that it isn’t as you are increasing the likely hood of people seeing your website. It is purely based on how effectively we are selecting those directories and how efficiently we are choosing the category for submission. You could submit to general directories, but for maximum effect, you are better off submitting to niche directories. Of course, I agree that it gives quite delayed results, but it is worth doing it.

Social Bookmarking:-
Social Bookmarking is another great way of promoting your website. Submit your latest blog posts and pages to the most popular bookmarking sites, like StumbleUpon, Digg, Delicious, Reddit, etc. Search engines really like these types of sites because the content on these sites is updated very frequently.

You should be very careful while doing this and you must properly handle the tags which are very essential to broadcast your news on a wide area network. This may increase your website traffic based on how effectively you have participated.


Photo Sharing:-
If you have used any of your own photos or images on your site, then you can share then on many of the major photo sharing websites like Flickr, Picasa, Photo Bucket, etc. Other people will be able to see them and comment on them, hopefully following a link to your site.

Video Marketing:-
Just like photo sharing, if you have any videos that you have used on your site, then you can submit them to sites like; YouTube, Vimeo, etc. allowing people to find your content in other ways.

Business Reviews:-
Write reviews about others businesses or ask your friends/clients to write a review of your business in major business review sites like RateitAll, Shvoong, Kaboodle, Stylefeeder, etc.

Local Listings:-
Depending on your site’s niche, you might find that listing in local directories may be useful. You may have a website promoting your local business, therefore instead of going global and facing huge competition, listing your website locally, so that search engines can easily view your website and fetch the content, will be much better. This will help you to reach a targeted audience. Submit your website to sites like; Google Local, Maps, Yahoo Local, Yellow Pages, etc.

Article Submission :-
If you write your articles yourself, then you can submit them to popular article directory sites like; Ezine, Go Articles, Now Public, etc. This can help drive traffic to your site, whilst you can also gain some links to your site from other people (though it’s usually a slower process).

Social Shopping Network :-
If you run an e-commerce website, then a good strategy for advertising and branding your products for free is to submit then to online shopping networks. By submitting your products to sites like; Google Product Search, Yahoo Online Shopping, MSN Online Shopping, and other major social shopping network sites like Kaboodle, Style Feeder, etc. then you increase the likelihood of people finding the products that you are selling.

What is On and Off Page SEO?

SEO or search engine optimizations are modifications and activities in order to achieve top positions in search results. We search for products or solutions using web search engines. We type a keyword or search phrase into, for example, Google and for every imaginable combination of words we get a lot of results. One of the most important properties of Google web search engine is that it returns relevant pages. This means that the most important and relevant websites or web pages related to our search phrase are displayed on the first page of results. It is publicly known that about 42% of search engine users click on the firs result. The second result gets about 11% of clicks and this number rapidly decreases for other results. This means that in order to use search engines to bring traffic to our website we should be present on top positions.

To get to the top positions for specific keyword we should have relevant web page which addresses this keyword or search phrase. Having relevant web pages means having quality content about target keywords and optimized page elements that clearly describe what the pages are about. Optimizations are divided into two groups, on-page and off-page.

On-page optimizations

Those optimizations are small modifications or additions of particular elements to emphasize important phrases. When we are optimizing a web page for particular keyword we make sure that this keyword is present in the page title, in meta description, in meta keywords, we try to use header tags for titles and subtitles, we use relevant anchor texts for all internal links, etc. Search engine spiders and crawlers download only HTML code and see our website differently as human visitors. Therefore, they need to know what is important and what is not. In other words, we use all possible elements on the page to emphasize the keyword we are trying to optimize for. Those optimizations of page elements are mainly oriented toward search engines but in many cases they are beneficial also to human visitors.

Off-page optimizations

Off-page optimizations are activities to promote and popularize our website. In general, this means creating backlinks to the website. The number and quality of backlinks defines the relevance or importance of particular web page. This information is then used by search engines to determine the most relevant pages for search results. Links can have a "nofollow" attribute which tells Google and some other search engines not to follow this link and not to take it into account when calculating the relevance of the target web page. Therefore, links marked with this attribute are worth significantly less than "normal" links.

Both on-page and off-page optimizations are needed for a successful website. If the competition is weak we may get to the top positions even without any activity but such cases are rare. Basic SEO is always welcome and needed for online success

Introduction of SEO.

SEO is one of the most effective things you can do online, getting your web site optimized in such a way that the search engines will reward you by basically sending traffic your way. SEO is not really that simple, but the bottom line is, if your page is optimized both on page and off, you generally get higher natural search engine rankings, which leads to traffic for you.

If you've spent time online recently, you've probably read the term "SEO," or "Search Engine Optimization. But what does it mean, exactly? "SEO" is a term that is used to describe the process by which traffic to a particular site is increasingly generated by search engines by way of search results. The quality of visitor traffic to a site can be measured by analyzing how often a visitor who uses a specific keyword phrase in a search actually performs what is known as a "conversion action." That is, how often those visitors make a purchase, download materials, request information, or interact with the site in any other way that indicates interest in the product or service the site offers.

Simply put, SEO is marketing through an understanding of how search algorithms work combined with a knowledge of what human users might search for. The end goal is to create a site that contains words for which people will likely search when looking for information such as that contained on your site.

SEO is an extremely powerful tool online - use SEO wisely!
