SEO Tips 4 U Blog

This blog is all about learning and using search engine optimization.

This is the reason why I wrote my first SEO ebook “SEO Essentials For A Top 10 Search Engine Ranking” and why I will write other search engine optimization ebooks.

I want to help educate people so that they can learn search engine optimization in the proper manner.

This cannot be done as a quick fix. A blog, newsletter, forum etc., cannot teach anyone SEO. The educational environment is just not in place for someone to learn using these methods; however, a resource such as a blog can be a tremendous tool for showing people what they need to do to learn a skill, subject or acquire additional knowledge on almost any subject.

Thus, I provide SEO tips on a regular bases in my blog SEO Tips 4 U; but not in the usual manner that people have become accustom to viewing and reading SEO tips. The SEO tips I provide are based on why and not just how.

Once an individual is told and shown the reason why something is done, educational opportunities are put in place and learning is possible.

If an individual is just shown how, the person can duplicate what was shown, but the individual has no understanding as to why it was done a particular way or the reason why it worked. Thus, the individual cannot learn.

An important part of learning is the ability to analyze a situation and once a person understands why something was done and why something works when done a certain way, the person gains the ability to understand and thus to analyze.

So with this in mind, let’s look at why the title tag is important concerning SEO.

What is a title tag?

A title tag is one of the tags utilized with HTML, which is short for Hypertext Markup Language. This is the most common language used for web page development.

For this post, I will not go into the discussion of HTML because it is a subject that has many well-written books on the subject along with having entire courses provided for it in colleges and technical schools. I also provide an entire chapter on the subject in my ebook “SEO Essentials For A Top 10 Search Engine Ranking”.

In relation to search engine optimization, I will say that to be able to be proficient with SEO, you must understand and use HTML because the web pages that you will create or work with in relation to search engine optimization contain HTML code.
There is no getting around this fact. If you want to learn and use SEO, you must learn at least on a basic level HTML.

I will provide posts regarding HTML in the future to address this very very important aspect in relation to SEO; but for this post, we will focus our discussion on the title tag.

The title tag contains the title for a web page. The title tag is constructed as displayed in the example below:

As shown in the example, the title contained in the title tag is “The Title”. The manner in which the title tag is constructed and displayed is based on HTML.

You can place in the title tag almost any text you wish to be the title of the web page. However, in relation to search engine optimization, the title tag is most effective when the title tag includes the keywords and/or keyword phrases for the web page and these same keywords and/or keyword phrase are contained within the text on the web page.

Keywords and/or keyword phrases are the words that the web page content is centered around throughout the web page. The keyword and/or keyword phrases are generally used throughout the web page in a natural reading nature but are prominent in their appearance and use.

The reason why the title tag is important in relation to search engine optimization is because the title tag is important to search engines. The title tag is a very important part of the criteria used by all search engines in determining the search engine ranking for web pages in their databases regarding specific keywords and keyword phrases.

Therefore, if you want to rank well for a certain keyword or keyword phrase on a web page, one of the main optimization tasks you will want to do for the web page is to place the keywords or keyword phrases in the title tag.

However, remember what I said earlier about using the keywords or keyword phrases prominently throughout the web page content because search engines through their algorithms determine what is important on a web page by analyzing the title tag and determining if what is placed in the title tag is an important aspect of the content contained on the web page.

Now by no means is this all that is considered by search engines and their algorithms in determining how web pages will be ranked in their search engine results.

There is much more involved with how a web page ranks for keywords or keyword phrases. The title tag is just one aspect. Yes, an important aspect; but still only one aspect.

Used only by itself, you will most likely not rank well using just the title tag in your optimization efforts unless you are trying to rank for a non competitive keyword or keyword phrase that no one is actually searching for on a regular bases.

If you are optimizing a web page, the title tag should be one aspect of your optimization work. There is much more to be done to successfully rank well for keywords and/or keyword phrases that people actually take the time to search for at search engines.

So use the title tag in all your SEO efforts; but understand why the title tag is important. There is much more to learn about the title tag. This post is an introduction to this optimization task. Learn as much as you can about the title tag and how search engines view and analyze the title tag.

If you would like to learn more about the title tag and search engine optimization as a whole, take a moment to order my ebook “SEO Essentials For A Top 10 Search Engine Ranking”. Add my ebook to your library of resources for search engine optimization and continue to expand your knowledge base and establish a solid foundation for SEO.

Most people are not successful at search engine optimization because of one simple reason, which is; they do not understand what is needed for success concerning search engine optimization.

So today, I will tell you the secret to search engine optimization success. It is not hard; but it is not easy.

If you do not understand and respect this fact, you will never be successful at search engine optimization.

When I say successful, I mean someone who can consistently achieve and maintain at least a top 20 search engine ranking for competitive keywords or keyword phrases.

I am not talking about rarely used keywords and/or keywords phrases that no one is interested in finding or searching for on a regular bases.

Frankly, almost anyone with a few SEO tips can rank well for non-competitive keywords and/or keyword phrases especially in small niche markets. However, SEO tips along will not help you very much when you are attempting to rank high for competitive keywords.

Thus, to achieve consistent success at search engine optimization, you must first learn everything you can about search engines.

You must understand intimately all the components of search engines and how these components work individually and collectively. Moreover, you must understand how search engines relate and react to websites.

This cannot be learned overnight, you will not learn this information by reading blogs, newsletters, participating in forums and/or other commonly known and used methods of acquiring basic knowledge about SEO.

The way that you learn about search engines is through finding quality information on the Internet and/or by reading books on the subject of search engines.

Don’t get me wrong, there is valuable information that you can obtain using methods such as blogs, newsletters and forums; but as I have said many times, to learn SEO you must acquire and read information that is provided in one central source that provides an overall viewpoint of the subject in a comprehensive and well written manner that is easy to read, understand and apply. This cannot be done with most methods except with books or information derived from book material in most cases.

With a well-rounded understanding of search engines, you will be equipped with a key essential for success at search engine optimization. However, you will need more than a strong knowledge concerning search engines to be successful at search engine optimization.

You must continue to add to your foundation of knowledge in relation to SEO.

Do not stop with an in-depth understanding of search engines and their components, you must take this knowledge and use it to understand how websites work structurally in relation to search engines and how using search engine optimization in unison with an understanding of search engines and websites will effect search engine rankings for keywords and keyword phrases.

Moreover, you must understand the concept of niche markets and how niche markets work in relation to SEO and search engines. Also, you must understand the importance of keywords and keyword research in your application and understanding of search engine optimization. This information along with related information will help you build an overall foundation that will serve you well as you learn and apply the principles of search engine optimization in your SEO efforts.

Now do not be overwhelmed with what I have written in this post.

Sometimes people think that a few SEO tips will be the only thing that is needed to generate a ton of traffic from search engines.

Sadly, this is not true.

Like most subjects or fields of interest, search engine optimization SEO has a vast amount of information and components that will affect your level of success. The better you are able to understand SEO and how all the related components such as search engines, websites and niche markets operate individually and collectively, the better your likelihood for success.

Remember, most people are not willing to take the time or put forth the effort needed to be successful at search engine optimization. So take advantage of the opportunity.

Put in the time and effort needed to learn all you can about search engine optimization. As you learn more in relation to SEO, you will began to see a noticeable improvement in your search engine rankings and better yet, you will begin to understand why your rankings are improving because you will understand search engine optimization at an entirely different level and viewpoint.

Learn more about SEO.

Search engine optimization, which is frequently referred to as SEO, is the process of increasing the amount and quality of traffic generated to a website or other Internet based property from search engines’ natural/organic search engine ranking results for specific words called keywords. For this blog post, I will use the term website to refer to all Internet based properties.

The popularity and importance of search engine optimization is based primarily on the fact that statistical data has proven time and time again that the higher a website is ranked in search engine ranking results, the more likely the chance that individuals will click the website link and visit the website.

Moreover, marketing research has shown over the past decade that the quality of visitors that search engines deliver to websites traditionally ranks as the best or one of the best sources of traffic for websites in relation to website conversions for sales, signups or other marketing goals set for websites.

The term SEO in relation to search engine optimization is also used at times to refer to search engine optimizers, who are consultants that mange and facilitate the development and completion of search engine optimization projects for their clients. Also, these individuals can be employees who conduct search engine optimization projects in-house for their employers.

Search engine optimizers may provide their services strictly for search engine optimization or as part of a package, which includes other marketing services.

In general, search engine optimization was created as a method of improving websites’ search engine ranking results. Moreover, at the core of conducting search engine optimization, there are two general methods used to optimize websites, which are on-site and off-site optimization.

As the terms imply, on-site optimization involves using techniques that are focused directly on the website and off-site optimization involves aspects that effect a website that are not directly on the website.

The reason why search engine optimization has a noticeable effect of improving a website’s search engine rankings is because all search engines have at the core of their existence a computer program, which is called an “algorithm”. This program manages to a large degree almost all the various operations of search engines.

Thus, search engine optimization is used by individuals and businesses to optimize websites for search engine ranking results based on either perceived or actual knowledge pertaining to the functions, directions, retrieved website data and instructions utilized by search engine algorithms to determine a website’s search engine ranking for keywords or keyword phrases.

What makes search engine optimization very challenging is the fact that every search engine has an algorithm that was created specifically for its own search engine; so each search engine algorithm is unique and ranks websites using different criteria and factors and/or places various levels of importance on the criteria and factors.

Moreover, search engines are very protective of their algorithms; so all aspects of the algorithms’ operations are tightly guarded. Therefore, the algorithms are always being changed from time to time to prevent anyone from trying to determine the exact or close to the exact factors and criteria used to rank websites in their search engine ranking results.

The better an individual can evaluate how search engine algorithms determine their search engine ranking results and can utilize search engine optimization to optimize websites based on his or her evaluation findings, the better the likelihood of the individual being able to improve a website’s search engine rankings through the use of search engine optimization.

Learn SEO.

One of the most commonly asked questions regarding search engine optimization is: “What is the best way to learn SEO”?

The answer I always give to this question is simple yet complex.

My answer to this question is always: “It Depends”.

Now before you say that my answer is not a definitive response to the question - let me explain my answer to you.

Search engine optimization by its very nature is not a black and white concept. There is a lot of gray area in the field of search engine optimization SEO.

Thus, it is only natural for people who are trying to learn SEO to be totally confused about how and what to do in relation to learning SEO because there are so many options and opportunities available for people to learn search engine optimization.

But what is the best way to learn SEO?

Well, let’s look closer at my answer to the question what is the best way to learn SEO: “It Depends”.

My answer to the question is based purely on my viewpoint of education in general and learning new subject matter.

The fact that someone is trying to learn SEO is only the current situation for the individual. The real question that is being asked is what is the best way for the individual to learn and this depends on the individual.

For example, some people learn best using visual aids while others learn more through audio aids while still others learn better from reading books.

In the end, the best way to learn almost anything is to use a combination of these methods.

However, in our society today people have very little patience, so the visual method tends to be what many people prefer because frankly it is easier to apply and use; but in my experience, the “visual” method in the long run is the least effective method for individuals to utilize for retaining and applying new information.

With this being said, the best method for learning in my opinion is reading a well-written book related to the subject matter.

The book should include visual aspects in the material to enhance the learning experience and access to an instructor for reinforcement of the material that is read or it should be written in a manner that presents the material as if the author is actually sitting with the reader and explaining the information.

Therefore, my answer “it depends” regarding the question of what is the best way to learn SEO can be summarized this way.

“The best way to learn SEO is by reading an SEO book that is well written and covers the entire realm of SEO at the level of the actual reader so that a clear understanding can be conveyed. Hence, for beginners to the intermediate level, the material should be written for readers at that level in a manner that is best for them to learn SEO, which would be different than a book written for an advance SEO reader.”

The main problem with reading SEO related books is that most of the books and ebooks sadly are not well written and the information is usually written in a manner that is not designed for the reader to learn but only for the reader to apply what was read. You or no one else can learn this way. It is easy to write a book; but is very hard to write a well-written book that helps an individual learn new material.

If you want to learn SEO, you need to read a good SEO book and/or ebook that actually provides the search engine optimization material in a comprehensive manner and also provides the material in an easy to read, easy to understand, effective and easy to apply manner for real world situations.

Don’t fall victim to the hype. If you want to learn SEO, it will take time. A two-day SEO workshop, SEO videos and/or SEO online classes will not help you learn SEO. You can learn to apply specific information using these methods; but you will not learn SEO.

Search engine optimization is much more than a few techniques or tips. SEO is a field of expertise, which requires a strong understanding of all aspects related to SEO before you can truly learn SEO. Thus, it will take time. Remember, Rome was not built in a day.

If you want to learn SEO, you will need to do it the old fashion way by reading and applying the material from a good SEO book and/or ebook.

Remember when you were in grade school, middle school, high school and/or college were you ever just given a CD, video, two-day workshop or other similar methods to learn a subject? No, I will guess that you learned primarily from books or material derived from a book presented by an instructor.

On this note, a well-written SEO book, by an author, that presents the material as if he or she is talking to you can be the substitute for an instructor; but you will still need to read the book and apply what you learn. This has been a time-tested method of learning for hundreds of years around the world. The method will not fail you; however, you can fail the method.

Learn SEO by reading a very good SEO book today.

You can determine the SEO book to purchase and read by carefully reviewing the promotional material for the SEO book, reading objective book reviews regarding the SEO book, comparing the prices of the various SEO books, making sure that you purchase a book that is written to actually teach SEO and finally purchase an SEO book that provides a money back guarantee in case the book does not meet your expectations.

However, remember that you should never take advantage of a money back guarantee. The author worked hard to write the book. If you actually benefited from reading the book or ebook, don’t ask for a refund just because you do not want to pay for the book. Always remember that what comes around goes around. Treat people fair and be honest in your dealings with others.
