I was talking to my friend earlier about search engine optimization, he then asks me how to use it and how to do it because he would like to join in a upcoming SEO Contest locally in the Philippines and he don’t know where to start. So I told him I’d rather make a post in this blog to save him time thinking, remembering what we’re discussing and he can comeback here and read again my post if he miss anything.
For me, to know SEO does not need any special expertise like doctors, engineers, accountant that have or need to have a degree qualification. SEO is just simple as 1,2,3 if you will just give an importance to it and you just need to consider all the basics and monitor and apply the rest that you’ve learn on your monitoring.
So what is the basic SEO?
If you are optimizing your website into different search engine, it’s a must to learn the search engines guidelines first on how your website can become search engine friendly and to aware your self which one to use and not to be mislead by reading ebooks on other websites. I will list below the 3 major search engine guidlines which is google, yahoo and msn so better to start with google with their guidelines
Once you get to know search engine rules, you must need to follow and obey them. Knowing the rules and guidelines of different search engines, you can now get an idea how to get index your website.
So What’s Next?
After knowing the search engine guidelines the next step is the structure of your website and it’s called Onpage Optimization. The next important thing in SEO is how you will optimize your website for different purposes such as user friendlyness, usability, browser compatibilty, css & xhtml valid, canonicalization urls, basic redirection and more, anyway I will list it below so you can know more which part of onpage optimization you need to focus more.
