A guide to Off-Page Search Engine Optimisation
On-page search engine optimization is definitely one of the key methods if a website owner would like to improve the results for his or her website's searchability. However, on-page SEO often entails technical skills. Why? Not a lot of people are HTML enthusiasts. This is often what needs to be tweaked to do an excellent job in optimizing web pages.
What if a geek friend already did the on-page optimization and now you want to know how you can contribute to the "search engine goodness" of your website? Off-page optimization is the next step. And the results you will have to pine for are one-way backlinks. Why? This is how many of the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and MSN rank websites. The more backlinks from relevant sites with good page ranks, the better.
So how exactly do you gather backlinks? It's not an easy task but it's definitely less nerve-wracking than HTML if you are not the techie type. Here are some off-page SEO tips:
1. Article Marketing
Quality content really is king. Everyone is hungry for fresh and quality information making backlinks literally pour in. Being a keen writer helps too. Also, be sure to practise using a resource box. It should only include a website that contains information relevant to the article you submit to article directories.
2. Forum Participation
Look for forums that are relevant to your website's content and keep on sharing information that will be indispensable for the members of the forums. Your signature or that tag-along message at the last part of each of your posts is what will work for your off-page SEO campaign. Keep it simple and make sure that it conveys something about your website. Learn how to hyperlink to make it easy for people who want to visit your site.
3. Blogging
Blogs or weblogs are now the most popular weapons for SEO experts. Besides being easy-to-update, they don't require a too formal tone, which is what many readers are into. Informal dialog which can be accomplished through readers leaving comments and the blog author replying to the comments is what also keeps blogs fresh and search engine friendly. Maintaining a blog that's relevant to your website's content will keep the search engines in touch with your site. Don't forget to have a link on your main website to your blog.
The secret to success in carrying out these off-page SEO methods is to be consistent. Submitting quality articles to websites at least two to three times a week and regularly producing content for your personalized blog is a surefire way to make your website stand out. Forum participation should also be something done more frequently since it will not only help you up your website's popularity with the search engines but also make you learn new things from other forum members' participation. And don’t forget that none of this seems obvious to you, there's always a plan B - hire someone to do it for you!
