SEO Guidelines: Black Hat vs. White Hat

SEO Guidelines: Black Hat vs. White Hat

Guidelines of search engines:


The very first thing everyone should do who wants to optimize their website for search engines, Google is to read guidelines and possibly other guidelines of search engines. It sets guidelines for content (content), pretending to technology and design of the website page. Similarly, there are quality guidelines must be directed to the site owner and webmaster, so that Google wants to ensure the quality of search results and only the sites list that meet their criteria.

The term white hat SEO:


Anyone who has ever looked deeper into the SEO forums and blogs is certainly the notion of White Hat SEO to come. A White Hat SEO is known then if a site owner or webmaster of optimized policies by search engines that is in exact, for example good Informative content for the user offer and much more, the most important factors of on-page optimization on the Websites of the SEO agency represented . On the whole, a White Hat is the one that the search engines best not at all considered when it comes to content or backlinks and focused only on the user. course there is always a gray area and therefore currently is frequently the term Grey Hat SEO to the daylight, many "SEO experts" say, however Either one is a Black Hat or letting it remain his time on Google to invest in it rather than to improve their website.

The term Black Hat SEO:


Black Hats often referred to as the criminals of the search engines, this is called then if you Google guidelines can be out of consideration, and grabs an inordinate amount of bad content or backlinks to the website, that may often have a short "good" effect bring but usually disappear the sides after a short time again by the top spots in the search engines, assuming you get there. Google and say this "wicked SEOs" war on and ensured by the Panda and Penguin update for a real emergency. When websites were affected then usually really angry with up to 93% loss of organic traffic.

Even large firms were affected because even with in-house SEOs by large companies are the black sheep. Previously it was possible to pack a lot still infinitely texts on the page and they are easy to hide in, for example, the one they simply adjusts the background color. At the very beginning of the search engines had to be just enough keywords in the meta pack day and you've scored great in any industry and category rankings, some marketers say the search engines involve the keywords to 0% in the ranking factor. As SEO is always moving in a dichotomy but on the whole, one can say that after the White Hat SEOs, the process to work for a long time are better off because the honesty usually wins.

Pay Per Click (PPC) or search engine optimization (SEO)?

Pay Per Click (PPC) or search engine optimization (SEO)?
Pay Per Click (PPC) or search engine optimization (SEO)?

I am often asked what is the best way to bring qualified traffic to a website, it is ppc (Pay Per Click) such as Google AdWords, etc. or seo search engine optimization? Now without other measures designed to generate qualified traffic to exclude, I focus here on the comparison between PPC and seo.

Before I start it, want to point out that the first question a website operator not to ppc or seo should be. You should rather loud, what should happen when a visitor comes to the site? Whom he speaks to them? If products (eShop) or services offered? Products can easily be provided with minimal information and can be purchased such as a credit card, Paypal, etc. this easy? Or is there a page with high priced products and services that may still require some consultations and adjustments? for inexpensive products that must survive in this highly competitive, could ppc be an expensive alternative to other methods. An example: The keyword "printer" on Google, there are over a hundred different providers with paid ads. A click on one of the top ads could cost the advertisers therefore between 3.00 euros and 5.00 euros, or even more.

So if you sell cartridges of 15.00 Euro, you are paid for each sale 20% - 30% PPC... and that only if everyone who reaches your site with a paid click and buy at least one cartridge, which is certainly not the case is! If every fifth visitor buys a cartridge when you are traveling the PPC costs at 15.00 - 25.00 EURO... so you pay it! Of course, it happens that a buyer comes to you regularly back and it dials your site directly, but this is a very long-term and modern consumption patterns rather uncertain equation. You may find too late, if a PPC campaign has paid or not.

PPC is therefore indeed a safe but expensive alternative in the long run, its website to bring to the top positions in Google & Co.. PPC is great for short-term, quick and targeted campaigns. In the long term but you can also ppc succeed when you find keywords that cost only a few cents per click, or if it is high-priced basically products at the advertised products and services.

A professionally programmed, search engine optimized website has a good chance of long term appear in the top spots of the major search engines. There they can generate hundreds to thousands of visitors without any visitor costs money. Of course, the creation of search engine optimized website is a cost. These are long-term but much cheaper than the ppc method. Would you generate thousands of visitors with the PPC method, which might have cost several hundred or even thousand euros.

Conclusion: Search engine optimization is the solution for a permanent increase in traffic. PPC is an excellent idea if you want to quickly increase the number of short-term visitors.

Important! They consider themselves very well as a campaign is designed to determine whether ppc or seo uses.

Facebook's new search: Graph fuss

Facebook's new search: Graph fuss
This is a serious blog post, even though the title suggests it immediately. As we move forward with our blog, but the social web, is - at least sometimes - spoken rather than written language announced. And when asked how I add an item to the name of the graph search, and the social graph, and searching the social graph and, moreover, is a bit of Open Graph, I was somehow "graph fuss" in the sense . I hope this is understandable.

Facebook Graph-Search: What is it?


The main reason for today's article is of course the Facebook Graph Search. Recently, whip them messages through the online media, before this new - search warn of Facebook - and absolutely overdue. Basically on any of the major media portal you will find instructions on how to get and its can protect privacy . Even Facebook itself has its users discreetly, so unobtrusive that you can notice it though, but do not see much of the alert regular users. In public, the graph search is therefore represented primarily as a threat to the private sphere, which of course it is. Still, this is not a satisfactory answer to the question: What is the Graph-Search?

After we have because sometimes "janz asked stupid", we approach the matter from the beginning and make hard: The graph consists of two search words and search graph. We now consider individual times.

Facebook's graph fuss: Social and Open Graph


And here we are again at the title of the article. With "graph" could mean two things namely Facebook, the social graph and the Open Graph

The Social Graph


Already almost a year ago has Christina Liese on reachblog.de delivered a nice explanation for the social graph:

The heart of Facebook is the social graph that represents a conceptual for a sociogram basically. In the context of the Internet sociograms represent the personal connections between people, how they relate to each other and what they are interested.

In the social graph of Facebook so the connections of each user are recorded to each other. Friends, friends of friends, interests, places visited, photos, interactions among themselves, likes etc.. How can the relations that represent the similarities and differences of the users and as appropriate. There is, for example, assumed that the social graph of the essential evaluation criteria in Facebook's so-called EdgeRank algorithm represents the composition of the news streams of user controls.

Facebook Open Graph


The Open Graph is again more or less an extension of the Social Graph While the latter namely, everything is limited to what happens on Facebook itself, the Open Graph has now delivered the interface to the outside. That is also an open graph, since Facebook just opened to the outside. Result were numerous interfaces for apps and content on external websites. The most famous are Bestandtteil sicherliche the social plug-ins, making it possible to a page outside of Facebook to "like", ie "like" to press.

But the Open Graph, or rather the Open Graph Protocol also provides represents a standardized protocol for meta element, which are designed specifically for social networks, particularly Facebook. Because Rich Snippets can be created there with important information. For more information on these meta element and how the look closely, there are, among other things here . Then looks like the original one can read beautifully in a linked above (with quote) Article by Christina.

Facebook Graph Search: Big Data of Social Graph and Open Graph


The graph search, Google is now rolling out gradually, as I said a search. But their data base are not like Google, a self-trumpedfound index, but existing information and data from their own users. With the Graph-Search a user can basically his personal social graph, search his own sociogram. So he can more easily find out what other people are doing so that are associated with it. The problem here is that any information that a user publicly shares with the Graph-Search can be found, since public content so basically can be in each "sociogram" is displayed. The more frightening is the information that Facebook has simple and many of these can be accessed. There are no fields but you can check as before at StudiVZ, but simply enters a record with the limitations in the search box. So far, therefore, the search graph is also a step towards a semantic search. Also, the information from the Open Graph, which users have done outside of Facebook, of course, flow into the search results with a.

Calculated as Facebook so from the huge amount of data a reasonably customized for each user on their search result. To sort the results by the way Facebook seems on the TF-IDF formula (for Term Frequency and Inverse Document Frequency) to access . But I have not yet found out for sure to which version of the term frequency is, ie whether it is a match to the WDF-IDF formula or not. In principle, it works in any case beyond the fact that Facebook wants to provide individually for each user the most relevant and most appropriate results and not generally popular.

And to eliminate the confusion last graph: Graph-Search is the original American name of the new Facebook search. The official German name, so the translation of Facebook, why is always: Search the Social Graph That which is often in newspapers, etc. of the Facebook social graph reads search, is an invention of the media, which - if mans exactly takes - is not that wrong. Nevertheless, something of course all adds to the confusion.

The benefit of Graph-Search


About the dangers of new search lot has been written and I do not even want to talk down hereby, on the contrary, I think that's also scary in detail, how to operate abuse here. Nichtsdestotz but there are also benefits, one for the users, who finally something on Facebook (again) can find the other but also for companies and their marketing. Since the search is not really finished it yet so can not say exactly how much and where exactly affects it, but this is definitely a field that is identified and local search, which is also attractive for SMEs. This opens up many possibilities with the graph search. Additionally you could even write your own articles, the Sebastian Socha but has already done in the usual good and complete manner. His article I can therefore highly recommend if you are interested in the topic, especially since he has attached a small tutorial for chain stores.

Overall, SEO, therefore, would actually move a bit more towards Facebook and Social Media Optimization of website n increases again in value.

SEO for older articles - Step by Step Tips

I have quite a bit on the general search engine optimization of blogs written.

Today I want to take this know-how in a more specific application, however.

It's about the search engine optimization of individual articles. Even and especially when they are a little older.

Why SEO for old articles?


I have shown in an article on "Self in the net" to talk in detail that it just is not enough on page 1 on Google to be. The click statistics to Google show very clearly that there are massive differences between the positions 1-10.

To get the # 1 position on average more than half of all clicks from. Is it to eg position 4, then you only get 1/14 of the traffic from which is possible to position 1. Of course, these values ​​vary with the individual keywords. But still it should be clear that one can increase by only one place higher in Google's search results traffic for this article significantly.

To optimize old article so they climb up a few positions for the following reason. These articles are ranked and you can judge very well what would bring a few items above.

In addition, it has been, so it's backlinks and a certain trust often easier to bring them to continue upward, rather than to write a completely new article.

Optimize that article?


But the question now is, what items you should optimize.

For this you can use paid SEO tools such as Xovi *, which has many advantages. Xovi shows such as keywords with potential who are about to jump into the top 10 and just before the top 3 in Google.

Then I go into a separate article again a detail.

However, for "home use" is Google Analytics or another good statistical tool sufficient.

Here I look at the statistics for an article that climbs quite well (page 1) and the already brings some traffic. So if you have for example an article which is at position 5 in the rankings with the main keyword and 50 brings visitors a month, then you could get him through optimization to position 2 and maybe triple to 150 visitors per month. To position 1 so he would attract between 400 and 600 visitors.

Naturally, competition plays a role, and how many Universal Search, Google displays elements. One should look exactly how hard it is to improve the position.

Then one has found one or the other articles, here we go.

Step by Step Onpage optimization


Firstly, you go first, the on-page optimization to:

  • The title tag should be optimized. Not only to incorporate the right keywords, but also to increase the CTR on Google. Because of the title tag appears as a clickable title in the Google search results.
  • The Description is also important. Less than SEO factor, but because it often appears as a description under the title in the Google search results.
  • The text itself should be optimized to the effect that one uses H1-H6 tags, and the important terms used in it. Fat also marks the important keywords to help. Moreover, this should also often (too often) found in the text, particularly at the beginning and at the end.
  • You use images in the article? Then, the keywords in the ALT text of images used! If you still have no images in the article, then you should install a few pictures later.
  • An important factor is still the internal linking. A few backlinks from other own articles on this topic can work wonders. With changing keywords in the link text.
  • The URL of the article should not change to it. Otherwise you could risk the existing backlinks.
  • It also helps a lot if you have already a good SEO plugin as wpSEO in use. It takes a few on-page optimization as of yet.

Step by Step Off page optimization


  • The second major factor is the off page optimization. Again, you should definitely take a look at the direct competition. Where do they obtain their important backlinks and what makes the difference. Because of course help mainly professional SEO tools such as Xovi *.
  • For quick and easy building backlinks I have to in Articles 16 Tips for easy and quick backlinks and blog start series - Backlink Strategies - Step 12 already given a lot of tips.
  • Also, guest articles, competitions, parades, etc. blog can be used for this. Or to write a new article and link to the existing ones.
  • Social media is also an issue. Why not again these older products to push at Twitter and.
  • And partly it's certainly worth considering backlinks services like Backlinkseller.de * or Teliad.de * to use. One should always use only as one of many measures and not overdo it. In addition, it is worthwhile only for very important blog articles with a lot of potential traffic.

Conclusion


  • One should, of course, generally deal with the basics of search engine optimization and "fundamentally improve" all items.
  • But just for articles based on search-volume keywords, it is worthwhile to optimize this again extra and to climb one or the other position in Google.
  • However that one should always use caution and have some time. Who performs with the mallet method measures all in one go and generated as massive backlinks in a few hours, which must not be surprised if Google's negative attention.
  • Subtle but before you go, then this is a very good method to increase the traffic of individual items clearly.

7 Tips to increase the Internal Linking

7 Tips to increase the Internal Linking
Internal linking is an important part of each blog and should be applied by all bloggers. Firstly, it increases the pageview s, ie it increases the number of pages per visitor . Now that people stay longer on your side to reduce the bounce rate of your blog very quickly. I had, for example, at the beginning of this blog a bounce rate of approximately 80%. The last few days I was able to reduce my bounce rate greatly, and am currently at 40%. Internal linking creates a kind of chain of theme-relevant contributions and thus captivates the reader, which can cause you can win a new regular readers. Use the Related Posts Plugin
That Related Posts Plugin is the easiest way to link together his posts. At the end of every post some more topics related posts are displayed automatically. The reader will be able to quickly discover interesting article. Click here for the plugin page.

Use the Popular Posts Plugin


Especially people who want to look at but a bit more interest for the page are interested in the most successful and popular posts, as they are more or less the figurehead Schilt of the respective bloggers. I personally think it makes sense to place this list directly into the sidebar so that the reader does not have to look far. Thus, the most popular items are also linked from any page. Click here for the plugin page.

Link directly to an article


Every time you write about something that has already been covered in an earlier post, you can link to it. I personally use this technique very much, and link whenever possible on older posts.

Create an archive


the archive feature of WordPress is indeed already been solved fairly well, but just is not to exceed a single page with all depending create posts. I have also a page for this archive created.

Create a meaningful search page


When a user enters a search and found no answer, you should not with a "Sorry, nothing found" message expel him. Also on the search result page, you can place links. For example, I have placed in me a list of the most popular items.

Create a usable 404 page


It may always be that someone typing error or an incorrect bookmark / link used to get to the page. But you should try again, the same people to steer in the right direction. How to make a useful 404 page created I have already described.

Create a series of articles


Another easy way to promote the linking is a series of articles, such as my Ultimate SEO Guide . The reader will read the first post and are interested in the other parts of the series to read. Thus, the reader will need to click on at least a second page.

Since I made these changes to my WordPress design and other items described note, as I write posts I could, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, greatly reduce the bounce rate of my visitors.

Are there any other important plugins / tactics that you can use to improve the internal linking?

SEO has always been an extremely exciting area of online marketing. With social networks like Facebook, Google+ or Twitter platforms have emerged in recent years, also have a greater or lesser impact on the topic of SEO. At Google+ that is undisputed given by the mere fact that this social network just comes from the Google home. However, data that Google can tap public of Facebook and Twitter can be important.
A whole other topic in this context SEO is directly or Facebook. So how content on Facebook are best found internally? Previously this was really not a relevant issue, because the Facebook search was basically designed rather rudimentary and thus not really usable. With the graph search that has changed. The new feature offers many ways to be better found internally at Facebook - and it brings another search engine again more into play. What one must consider, then, when it comes to "Facebook SEO 2.0"?

Facebook Graph-Search is relevant


Do you have to make as SEO because of the Facebook Graph-Search ideas? You can ignore the subject does not, for that Facebook is simply too powerful - definitely a little bit. But we first briefly look into the past and we look at what Facebook SEO was previously …

Before it came Graph-Search , for example, a Facebook Page to optimize the content on Facebook so that this page made a good figure especially in Google. So you could use in various places keywords and provide as much information. That helped sometimes to make a Facebook page in the google search show near the top - and of course OffPage optimization was possible.

All this still applies if you want to be with a Facebook Page found at Google.However: due to the Graph-Search Facebook now offers an option of how content can be found directly on Facebook better. Compared to the old looking for a real progress. Also, you can now make yourself even more actively to ensure that their own Facebook page gets more attention.

Facebook wants Facts and Figures


It remains true: the profile of a Facebook Page should be as detailed as possible for Facebook SEO 2.0. All relevant information must be available. For searching is helpful. In addition, Facebook users generally want to inform you. The more interesting content so there is to report about their own company, the better.

The situation is similar in the content, posts a Facebook Page. Here, it is useful if there is a continuous flow of information. This does not only keep current and potential fans at the bar. It also ensures that Facebook itself recognizes that it is a more relevant page. More content means more interactivity. SEO for Facebook 2.0 a ranking factor.

You would not believe it, but a bit more relevant than ever actually gets Bing. The search engine from Microsoft, which has only a small market share in Germany is on Facebook with the boat. As the operator of a Facebook Page, this means that you can not necessarily just appear in the local search results only with the Page. It may also happen that results from Bing display. And here we have no good rankings, then this can mean a disadvantage. therefore time, at least to deal with SEO a bit also for Bing .

Benefits for local businesses


Facebook is not only a global and correspondingly huge network, it also has strong local references. In plain English: many companies that are operating locally, and not necessarily global or nationwide, cavort on Facebook. These companies are dependent on social interactions with local relevance. It is therefore advisable to ensure that you, for example, offers users a way to check. The Facebook Page should therefore also be a Facebook Place.

Also on the side of the local component interactions is not to be sneezed at. By involved locally with his Facebook Page, you can become an important and relevant source quickly in this very local context . In terms of Facebook SEO 2.0, this means that one can have important advantages over local competitors here if you behave accordingly.

And whether locally or globally: the appearance, so the Facebook Page itself should be professional and offer the user an experience. This begins with the cover photo goes on the tray and does not stop with good optical quality content such as images. For example, the local pastry can send pictures to present current cake creations easily on its Facebook Page. This has significant value firstly within Facebook and secondly ensures that from current and potential customers can be fans.

Graph search alternative to Google?


All this is of course connected with work, in the long run it can only be worthwhile to put more energy into the subject of Facebook SEO 2.0. Although the new graph search is not yet rolled out to many, because of it, the sheer mass of data that Facebook has, potentially represents a genuine alternative to Google Search.

What will also be extremely important in the future, is to network within Facebook. This can be accomplished through various channels, one of which is the organic growth of a Facebook Page, what can be accomplished usually with excellent content. But Facebook ads can be a solution. It is important to increase the range to as many potential fans will be achieved.

For what is in the Web search by Google, which has to be considered also in terms of Facebook SEO 2.0 in any case - a Facebook page with better content allows for more interaction, a lower bounce rate and a longer residence time. These factors play alongside in the new graph search a role. Most importantly, however, is an extensive network within Facebook.

For a successful search engine optimization both onpage and off-page optimization are important and should be handled with the same care. In reality, however, has shown that the optimization Off Page outweighs the onpage optimization . This can be explained by the fact that the onpage optimization is limited in its possibilities and the variety of web pages is not a sufficient criterion more accurate discrimination for example. The Off Page optimization, however, represents the reputation of a website, which in turn increases with each incoming backlink and upwards there are no limits in principle.

The figure shown below visualizes a section networked sites.

Off Page optimization


As with the onpage optimization there are different factors that can be initially divided into two groups:


Since 1 December 2010, there is also the official confirmation of another group of factors influencing the Off Page optimization. This was in an interview by Danny Sullivan announced with representatives of the search engines Google and Bing. It is the influence of social media (especially Twitter and Facebook) . But since its influence known only recently and is (still) very low, there is insufficient data or information.

A key concept that often falls on the subject Off Page optimization is link building or link building. Thus, the specific set of backlinks to improve Off Page optimization (and thus also of the general rankings of a website) meant. Since link building is one of the main contents of the Off Page optimization is, my second research work related to link building in theory and practice.

Off Page optimization - Takeaways

  • Off Page optimization refers to the exploitation of Optimierungspotezialen regarding the reputation of a website
  • The most important factor in Off Page optimization are the backlinks, and there are various quantitative and qualitative differences

Qualitative factors


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

Not every backlink has the same quality. Even with the original PageRank algorithm backlinks from websites with a high PageRank were rated higher than those with low PageRank. But since even the PageRank is still relatively easy to manipulate, some other factors are still sought.

Trust Rank

The Trust Rank is a term introduced by Yahoo algorithm based on a manual selection of good websites. These assigned a so-called TrustScore they turn pass on Linked Sites. This is especially the search engine spam are limited.

Properties of Backlinks

Backlinks have a different power. This power is made up of several factors that affect the page on which the link is placed. These include PageRank, TrustRank, link popularity, etc.

Properties of Backlinks



Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

The quality of backlinks is determined by various factors. These include, firstly, the presented figures, because a website for example, a high IP popularity has is from search engines rated higher. Accordingly include links from these sites more. The same applies to PageRank and TrustRank . But there are other factors that directly relate to that side on which a backlink is. These are presented below.

Google knows the link-giving website

A backlink can only have a positive effect, if Google also of the existence of this link has knowledge . This can be checked, for example, if the URL to look on the page giving the link is to reach out to Google to enter it. The URL should now show up in search engine results. For a greater number of links can be tested to the Google index checker are used.

However, this procedure can not always be applied. An example of this is the noindex meta tag . Although this prevents the inclusion in the Google index, but does not cause a back link from this page will not be counted.

Link Method
The conventional method for generating a hyperlink is the use of <a> tag which carries the destination URL as its value href attribute. Using this method ensures the full value of this backlinks. So this link is one, it must not, however, with the nofollow attribute to be equipped. 
There are also other methods to realize a hyperlink. This includes, for example, a forwarding command using the JavaScript window.location or the link in a HTML image map . Google also keeps track of these types of "links", but it is not known whether this also be interpreted as equivalent to <a> tags. 
Some websites use a special script for masking outbound links. In each case, reference to a side internal address where a parameter (for example, the URL of the target page) is passed. The script now uses a redirect (HTTP status code 3xx) to pass ultimately to the desired page. As already 301 redirect was explained, these redirects are always subject to some penalty, which would reduce the value of such backlinks.

Anchor Text

The anchor text has also been introduced and explained. For search engines, it represents a hyperlinked page for additional information and should consist of the desired target word.

In general, one assumes, however, that in this area there is a filter of Google is to oversee the distribution of different anchor texts. The basic idea behind this filter is the recognition of an unnatural linking , which in turn could indicate a manipulation. For practical use this means that the anchor texts vary to some extent should be. Thus, the complete domain name is often used as the link text for example. Another example is the use of the full name in which to leave comments on blog posts.

The use of the Domain Names is yet another reason makes sense, because the so-called Fire update in September 2009 (as Vince update known) has increased the visibility of brands. With reference to the set link text as brands are often linked with their name. More information and facts to be found at Media donis: The Case of the fire.

Link Title

The title attribute is one of the so-called Universal HTML attributes and can be used as it is in almost all HTML tags. On self html the title attribute is described as follows:

[The title attribute] allows to equip HTML elements with relevant comments or meta-information. The commenting text is standardly by the browser in a small window ("tool tip") or displayed in the status bar when the user moves the mouse over the display area of ​​the HTML element.

With the help of this attribute is a back link that is in addition to more information on the linked page will be given to the anchor text. Although there is no official statement by Google that the text contained in this attribute has an effect on the ranking, but it would be only logical that this would be the case.

Content relevance

The original idea of the Random Surfer model was the adoption of a user navigates through hyperlinks from a web page to the next and can thereby determine the coincidence which link is followed in practice. The Reasonable Surfer extends this model to a probability component that links certain weighted more heavily than others. The logical extension of this idea is an appreciation of backlinks that are in a context relevant to the topic and provide a user, for example, further information is available. That Google is able to establish relationships between different concepts, show various services such as the display of related terms, which is exemplified in the figure below. Even if this is likely to be a stochastic model, it is at least the facility having Google, in this context.

Backlinks from a relevant context may also contribute to the recognition of manipulative (as purchased) backlinks. In a large proportion of subjects irrelevant to backlinks , for example, a flag will be set automatically, which triggers either a human or a control Ranking punishment provides the relevant page, or even the entire domain.

Link placement

Also from the Reasonable Surfer model shows that the placement of backlinks to a website (header, content, footer, etc.) has an impact on its weight.

Number of external and internal links

The number of internal and external links which are on one side, reduce the value of each link . This is a direct result of the Page Rank algorithm. Google itself called as a guide max. 100 links per page. This figure is, however, historically and is mainly due to the fact that Google has indexed only 100kb at the beginning of a website.

Generally, it is believed that internal links in this context not as strong as External fall into the weight , as it is common in many websites, for example, a navigation display on each page, so that almost always are some internal links on each page . However, a crucial link page, it is still a positive criterion if this as few outbound links.

Trust Rank


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

p align="justify">A concept that nowadays a lot of importance is attached, the Trust Rank. Trust means the trustworthiness of a page with respect to the information provided in this context and their resistance to webspam.
Search engines have a vested interest, only users relevant to their search results tailored to deliver. They are constantly confronted with the problem of aggressive online marketing methods exposed to, for example, through automated webspam comment.

Disambiguation

Before the Trust Ranks discusses the implementation of the first term must be clearly identified. In general, is in Combating Web Spam with Trust Rank algorithm presented meant when Trust Rank is mentioned. One of the co-authors of this paper was Jan Pedersen, a Yahoo! employee a year later the patent application link-based spam detection submitted. therefore It is not in the Trust Rank to a patent filed by Google. It is likely, however, that Google uses a very similar principle to the Trust Rank. Caused some confusion in this regard, the fact that Google is almost at the same time held the trademark on the term "Trust Rank", but that an anti-phishing filter called. See also the following video from Matt Cutts :



Algorithm

The basic idea of the Trust Ranks is the division into good and bad websites. In good websites mean those that are regularly maintained and monitored their content. It is not differentiated from these pages within a domain. Good websites are also notable in that it with very low probability on bad sites link, but with a high probability of high-quality pages. Bad websites are spam pages that follow as illegal or fraudulent or exist solely for the purpose of search engine manipulation. The Trust Rank now represents a criterion reference to which good and bad websites can be identifed:

  • Good website> high Trust Rank
  • "Bad / Spammy" Website> Low Trust Rank
The problem at this point is the inability to make the distinction completely automated in good and bad sides. Therefore, the Trust Rank algorithm is based on a so-called oracle function , in which a human author makes this distinction. Since it is impossible for an ever-growing number of websites, each website individually equip with a value for the Trust Rank, which is a PageRank -like algorithm used inheritance principle. This first one is automated pre-selection of sites hit that should have as many good websites. For this pre-selection, for example, the PageRank serve as a selection criterion. The selected sites are categorized as seed and get called by a man known as a Trust score assigned. This TrustScore is essentially the value of the Trust ranks and then as the PageRank passed on linked websites. Through the above-mentioned property of good websites, with only a very low probability to bad, but a high probability of good websites to link the Trust Rank but provides greater security against tampering as the PageRank. However, since it is not assumed that all linked pages are also the same content monitoring and care subject as the original seed, is a damping factor in the inheritance of Trust Ranks used. The following figure verdeulicht this statement:


The Concept of trust rank

The Trust Rank - Conclusion

The Trust Rank is an effective approach to minimize proliferation of spam in search engine results. Furthermore, it can also be used as a ranking factor, as it will be just like the PageRank iteratively and can assign a value to all pages of the Internet, which in turn creates a metric that allows a comparison of different websites. A high Trust Rank may therefore be a better ranking result. This can be achieved by being linked to from a page with high trust.

The problem with the use of the Trust Rank algorithm is the one choosing the right seed to other websites and the calibration of the different parameters (such as the damping factor).

Finally, once the most important facts about Trust Rank in brief:

  • The Trust Rank is used to distinguish between good and bad (in the sense of spammy) sites
  • The algorithm for calculating the Trust Ranks based on a manullen selection of trusted sites, one of which is passed on from Trust
  • Analogous to PageRank, there is also the Trust Rank the principle of inheritance muted
  • The Trust Rank may not be displayed, but it is likely that he has an influence on the ranking

Quantitative factors


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

Quantitative factors are based on the unweighted number of backlinks to a site. The original PageRank algorithm is the best example for this kind of factors. There are three key metrics in this area:


  • Link Popularity
  • Domain Popularity
  • IP Popularity

Using these figures to one for an entire domain , on the other, but also for individual sub-pages of a domain . Figures for entire domain resulting from the sum of the individual values ​​of the indicators all pages including the home page. In the following explanations is to simplify each of the term "web" is used.


Link Popularity


The term link popularity refers to the number of all the backlinks that point to a website. True to the motto: "Many links mean a high reputation" applies here: "The larger this number is, the better it is for the ranking of a website."


However, this figure is not considered particularly meaningful as a so-called site-wide links is now nothing unusual. A concrete example is the so-called blog Rolles. Here, a blogger linked, for example, a friend or other topics relevant blog of the navigation of his own blogs. This is the link to appear every bottom of his blog . Each of these links flows in link popularity with a. The origin of thought, a link is a special recommendation for further information diminishing role , because obviously the set in the blogroll link is not specific to the contents of a base.


Domain Popularity


The domain popularity is a measure that indicates the number of domains linked to a website. It does not matter how many times this site was linked from the pages of a domain. In order to defuse the problem of linking each base significantly. Also for the domain popularity is: the higher the ratio the more positive the impact on the ranking.


IP Popularity


Verschärftere a form of domain popularity is the IP Popularity dar. This measure all IP addresses are counted, from which links are placed on a website. This number was due to the fact that most web hosts a certain, limited IP range have available and make these available for different domains. It is possible that different domains are hosted on the same IP address.


Could be to increase the popularity of a website domain you now get the idea, simply register a number of different domains at a hoster and from these to the target site to link to. This would obviously manipulating the search engine algorithms take place because the set would link primary goal is to improve the ranking of the target website and thus does not actually possess value in terms of reputation increase.


The IP popularity there are in various forms. The version presented above is the least restrictive, since it merely requires that the IP addresses differ in any bit . In other variants, for example, a complete class C network (the first three octets of an IPv4 address) is chosen as the basis. However, in each variant also applies here, the principle that a high IP popularity has a positive impact on the ranking.


Conclusion


The quantitative factors of optimization Off Page give a rough overview of the link level or the popularity of a website on the Internet. The problem with these figures is the danger of manipulation. Although the manipulation attempts are hampered by restrictive perspectives, but by no means ineffective. There are, for example, already offers special hosting , domains which are hosted on different IPs of hundreds.


Another problem with these figures is that they unjustified discrimination may result. The simplest example of this are two different domains, the report on a common theme and are often mutually link - for example, because the other domain provides further information. In this case, that would be IP or domain popularity too restrictive , since it would be appropriate to evaluate each link, even if it comes from the same domain.


Because of these problems, one can assume that these metrics a first estimate of the Off Page optimization provide a website, but still not be the measure of all things.

Syntactic distinction


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

This chapter discusses the use of HTML syntax to optimize the text on a web page. Already in The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine greater importance are excellent words separately metered and Google has continually evolved since that time.


Validity

It is irrelevant to the ranking, if a website is the W3C validation criteria or not.


HTML markup

HTML offers a wealth of opportunities to distinguish a text semantically. These include, for example, headings, lists, and bold or italic text passages. This award is a weighting of different keywords are induced.


Multimedia content

Images, videos and music, for example, fall into the category of multimedia. There are partially own search for this content. Besides optimizing for these there is also the theory that the use of images also have a positive impact on the organic search results has.

Multimedia content


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

Search engines generally have problems in understanding of multimedia content such as videos, photos or music files. You are here in part to the surrounding text and rely on the other to the use of the alt attribute . This attribute describes the content to be displayed and is required for example by screen readers.

Furthermore, carrying filename of the image in information retrieval. The optimization of these factors influenced definitely position a graphic in the Google image search and contributes according to Mario Fischer (Website Boosting 2.0, p 325) also also contribute to a better ranking that page that displays this image (if it fits thematically)

HTML markup


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

HTML is a markup language for textual content . The award is undertaken through tags that are expressing a certain semantic meaning and rendered in a corresponding way of browser so that this importance is manifested visually for a visitor . About this award so it is possible that certain content be assigned semantics.

There is no official statement on what day how much weight is attached and you can assume that there are no simple mathematical relationships, but that make up a positive value for the ranking of different factors. It is not enough, all the keywords to highlight the text in bold for example, or even as a heading. Such techniques are considered rather as spam. The following are some examples of tags that have an impact on the ranking.

Headlines

Headings are identified in the <Hx> HTML tags, where x is the level of the heading. <h1> tags identify the main headings. The keyword or keyword combination should show up in any case within a <Hx> tags. However, one can make a clear statement as to whether Google uses different shades hour day in their natural order as ranking factors. Against this assumption, for example, that the world's most popular blogging system WordPress is the title of new posts by default in <h2> place in <h1> tags.

Some time ago it was also fashionable to use <h1> tags as a replacement for <b> or <strong> tags to benefit from the "header bonus". This is of course not in the sense of the user in terms of Google and still is considered rather as spam. Nevertheless, it is ok to have more than one <h1> day to use as Matt Cutts explained in the following screencast:






However, it is relatively safe to say that words in titles revert to a higher importance because they clearly stand out from the text. eye tracking analyzes have also shown that visitors mainly read the headlines and skim over the rest of the text. So it makes perfect sense to ascribe greater importance to these structuring elements.

Lists

Lists are also structuring elements and fall when viewing a web page in the eye. In Document ranking based on semantic distance between terms in a document different approaches and algorithms are presented which are intended to identify the semantic proximity of words in a text. One of these approaches is here that lists must be treated separately, as they could for example make a value-free bullets. For example, the data shown in the diagram below as equivalent with respect to the semantic distance on the titles to consider, although the last point considered purely localized further away than the first.


Example of semantic proximity of list items



Bold, italic, etc.

Words that are marked in a manner within a continuous text that set it apart from the rest of the text stand out a visitor reading the eye. So these words seem to carry more significance than the non-selected words. At this point, the term "marker" but to widely used because it is possible through the introduction of CSS to create these visual effects, without using the provided HTML tags. A search engine can not understand this then highlighting.

Detectable influence according to Mario Fischer at least the award in bold or by <b> <strong> tags (Website Boosting 2.0, p 320). It is likely that the same for italics (or <i> <em> tags) and underlined text (<u> day) applies. <b> and <strong> and <i> or <em> tags are considered equivalent by the way, like Matt Cutts confirmed in the following screencast (from 0:48):

From the perspective of usability , it makes sense to highlight particularly the most important statements in a text so that a reader has only to skim the text if need to understand the core message.

Conclusion

What does that exploits in practice? The above examples and illustrations are intended only as an indication that Google assesses the HTML syntax of a text. For practical use, it lends itself to so that keywords and semantically related terms prepare accordingly.

Validity


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

Contrary to some rumors, the validity of web pages according to the W3C a criterion that is used in the ranking of Google. 's Matt Cutts confirmed this in an appropriate screencast.



A majority of sites on the net does not contain a valid source , be it to support old browsers or because the validity in everyday life no importance is attached to. In general it can, however, of the validity of the source code is not close to the quality of the content and most current browsers provide even non-valid code correctly represents the consideration would lead to content that is potentially worse results because invalid websites would be disadvantaged.

Content - The content of a website


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

The content for the search engines most interesting part of a Web page because it potentially contains the most information. One of the most common recommendations for search engine optimization (and one of the principles from Matt Cutts ) reads as follows: "Produce good quality content that is made ​​for people, then comes the success of search engines alone."


This statement may have been true in the early days of the Internet in this form, but with the development of Web 2.0 as no longer tenable. This is due to the fact that there are hardly a topic on which there is no information on the internet and secondly to the fact that the quality of content alone does not affect the ranking. It was the recommendation in the form of hyperlinks makes the content of a Web page for Google high quality. In addition, there are other factors that must be considered in the creation of content, because they have influence on the ranking.


A quote from Matt Cutts in ? How does Google collect and rank results provides an interesting approach, which serves as a general guide for the preparation of search engine optimized content:


Did fake you are a programme. decide a question like warfare or utilization or no matter you would like. seek for the phrase on Google, decide 3 or four pages from the results, and print them out. On every output signal, the individual words from your question notice (: like "civil" and "was") and use a highlighter to mark every word with color. do this for every of the 3-5 did you print out documents. currently Those documents tape on a wall, step back many feet, and squint your eyes. If you probably did not apprehend what the remainder of a page aforesaid, and solely may choose by the coloured words, that document does one suppose would be most relevant? Is there something did would create a document look a lot of relevant to you? Is it higher to possess the words be in {an exceedingly|in a very} giant or heading to an occur many times in a very smaller font? does one like it if the words square measure at the highest or the lowest of the page? however usually do the words got to appear? See if you'll come back up with 2-3 belongings you would hunt for to check if a document matched a question well. will|this will|this could|this may} facilitate students learn judge|to guage|to judge} connectedness web site the manner an enquiry engine would evaluate it thus thatthey can higher perceive why an enquiry engine returns sure results over others.


Keyword Density

The Keyword Density is a measure of the "density" of keywords within a web page. This figure is, however, be treated with caution.


Keyword Proximity and Keyword Positioning

Already in the early days of Google's proximity query ("proximity") was included in the ranking. Positioning refers to the naming in different parts of the semantic web .


Internal and external links

Linking to internal and external pages is important for two reasons. For one, the idea is to optimize the internal linking structures to ensure optimal PageRank flow to allow for other relevant links are included in the ranking (keywords: Good and Bad Neighborhood).


Semantic Relevance

The recognition of the semantics is the supreme art of information retrieval and the goal of any search engine. When a search engine (ie, its "sense"), knows the semantics of a text, they may search queries answered more focused and a user.

Semantic Relevance


Online SEO Tutorial | Articlezeneu

A major problem in the assessment of documents is the recognition of the topic that describes this document. This problem is evident if one takes, for example, words with multiple meanings (so-called "Teekesselchen") as an example. Without additional information, a search engine does not distinguish between the importance attached a word on a page.

Phrase Matching

To work around this problem probably used Google algorithms that calculate the semantic proximity of words. A clue can be found, for example, Automatic taxonomy generation in search results using phrases . Here a method is presented in which groups of words associated with a keyword or combination of keywords will be investigated. Applying this method to the corresponding number of documents, as these documents can be put together on the basis of groups of words in clusters and thereby allow a categorization of the content.

LDA - deferred Semantic Allocation

A similar approach is also known as Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). These systems are quite possible at the present time, which, for example, in the online course information retrieval and text mining is demonstrated.

LSI - Deferred Semantic Indexing

Often one reads of a so-called latent semantic indexing (LSI), which amounts to a similar result. 

Conclusion

Finally, care should be taken in any case that there are various methods already, by means of which the semantic content of documents can also be seen in some way. This data may be used by Google so well for the ranking. SeoBook.com provides some practical examples of how this knowledge as SEO can take advantage of. For a search engine optimized text which generally means that not only the mention of the keyword to the ranking of importance, but also the context of the word is illustrated by semantically similar terms, so that there is more relevant to a search engine.
