7 Killer SEO Steps to Optimize Your Website in SERP

1. Keywords in Title Tag

Title Tag is one of the most significant elements to position your webpage higher in your chosen keyword. This tag gets visible in the clickable link on the SERPs. It’s better to start your title with a long-tail keyword having less competition. Try to use your Keyword within the range of 65 characters, as search engine don’t consider anything after 65 character limit. Don’t repeat your Keyword in your title; otherwise your site could be penalized.

2. Use Keywords in Header Tags

Header tags are one of the most imperative On-page search engine optimization factors. Use the similar keywords in all heading tags. This way, you can easily bring focus of the page on a sole keyword while getting superiority in the Search Engines. You should better utilize your main keyword in first heading tag while trying to keep the Keyword at first.

3. Use Keywords in Image Alt tag

Images can express many words but SE Spiders don’t translate images, they only read the alt tag to understand the image with textual description. Therefore, it is vital to provide a significant description of an image with using keywords. It will optimize the images used in your content and rank them higher in image searches.

4. The Power of Internal Linking

One significant factor of SEO that is often ignored is Internal Linking. The better approach is to reactivate and revitalize the old posts in archive, as compared to link them in your fresh posts. Don’t miscalculate the authority of internal linking in the distribution of page rank.

5. Links from Directories

Planting in directories, such as Yahoo, DMOZ and other article and content listings can be quite helpful to achieve positive ranking overall. Some people believe that it’s not possible to list your content on DMOZ, especially if you don’t have much credible data, but if you could, it may bring you positive results.

6. Use Meta Description

Description meta-tag is what you use to illustrate your website. In fact, this description is what the visitors see when your site appears on the search results.
