How and where SEO is placed, both on-site and off-site, will affect how well it works to promote your targeted content. Professional SEO positioning services can help maximize SEO success, regarding areas like design and layout elements, targeted content, and off-site SEO strategies.



While search engines function on text content, design elements of a website can still affect SEO. For example, a lot of webmasters like to use flash animation and a lot of Javascript on their homepages, because it's eye-catching and entertaining. Homepages showcasing animated video and streaming media are believed to encourage visitors to stay. However, flash video and animation contains no text, which is required by search engine crawlers to index a web page. If there is a lot of flash on a given web page, it can block search engines from finding the targeted content. Flash can be used, but there are ways to use it so that it doesn't interfere with SEO content. Layout is also important to SEO. Menus should be user-friendly and have URL-based links that lead to relevant pages. Not only does this make it easy for search engines, ...
... but it encourages low bounce rates.



Other design elements are a matter of simple HTML. H1 and H2 tags are big indicators to search engines of important content, which is why the page title of a web page should always be wrapped in H1 tags - not the logo, or the business name, or anything else that is not SEO friendly. It is also common to use bold-faced or italic print to highlight targeted words, but it should be noted that many SEO experts believe this is losing value. Meta tags and meta descriptions are, however, important to include consistently, and to ensure that meta content is consistent with the actual page content and title. These things will help maximize on-site SEO.



While on-site SEO definitely matters, it is the off-site SEO that can really boost a website in search results. A very common off-site SEO strategy for new websites is link trading, or a two-way link with another website. This is okay, but one-way backlinks are much more effective. Each one-way backlink to a website is like a short applause to search engines, for that site. However, off-site SEO that is arguably the absolute most effective, is deep link building. Deep links are like one-way inbound links, with one small, but very important difference. While backlinks usually lead to a website's homepage, deep links lead to a content page or some other inside page of a website. The reason deep links are so effective in SEO, is because an independent site has indicated to their audience, and consequentially signals search engines, that this particular website content is a resource; that it has worthwhile value. This also helps site conversion. The more a website's content is linked to from other reputable sites, the more visitors become customers. It is also a primary reason that adding unique, original content is so important. The more informative, useful content a website has, the more opportunity for deep links. Unique content also helps conversion because it decreases bounce rates, by offering visitors original, useful information.



Because website content is key, a user-friendly SEO-compatible CMS (content management system) is also. Be sure to use one that can easily categorize content and provide SEO-friendly URLs. A good example is WordPress. Above all, keep in mind SEO is both a long-term and ongoing process, and it takes time to move up rank in search results.
