On to optimization, as I stated in my last Blog “The Steps to a Profitable #1 Ranking: SEO Step 2” my new website http://www.encseodepot.info has been published and Google has added it to their database.
The initial report from IB Promoter gave the site a 46% chance of first page rankings, and pointed out 19 problems which could hold the website of these positions.
One of the first things I needed to work on was the “Body Text’ of the new site. Although the number of keywords was ok, as well as the keyword density, the word count was to low. This created another problem for me due to the background artwork I had chosen during the CSS phase of the project.
With this problem solved and a few others as well, including keywords in the title, keywords in same site links, bold typeset, and some minor html conflicts, I was able to raise the percentage to 55% change of first page rankings. This also reduced the number of problem with the site from 19 down to 10.
Now as I have said before there are a couple things completely out of my control.
- By using the cheap TDL (.info) I have to accept that this will always be a problem and there is absolutely nothing I can do short of purchasing a new domain.
- This is a brand new webpage and search engines do look at the age of a site. There are many fly by night websites that disappear almost as quickly as they appear.
So there are really 8 problems which I can work on. Of these eight problems 6 of them have to do with links to my new site, and are Essential to a first page ranking.
- Since the site has just been published there is not enough traffic to the site
- Also the amount of quality links are too low
- Another important aspect of the incoming links is that they should have keywords of the site in them.
Another less important factor is the readability of the site. IB Promoter uses the “Flesch Reading Test to determine how technical the text is on a website. Although this factor generally doesn’t affect rankings it is always better to score high on this factor.
Hope you enjoyed the read and this helps you. Remember to check the links to IB Promoter and their weekly newsletter on my site http://enchostdepot.wordpress.com
