The
Most Important Factor in
SEO
Ranking
Text SEO is a
new breed of the venue of
search engine
optimization (SEO). With
the advent of Twitter and
other social media
messaging, the brevity of
the format is more
restrictive. Consider
that these new modes of
social media allow for a
mere 140 characters, and
SEO ranking takes on a
completely different
premise. There are two
important factors in SEO
Ranking, one is external
and set by search engines
and the other internally
conceived by users. In
Text SEO, ranking by
search engines is likely
to require powerful, but
exceedingly, descriptive
keywords that can be
searched with lightening
speed. Whereas, in
websites and blogs,
keywords have the
advantage of expedient
and advantageous
placement throughout a
grouping of text,
graphics or
links.
The Most
Important Factor in SEO
Ranking
In order to know
the most important factor
in SEO Ranking, it's
necessary to understand
how search engines
develop their ranking
formats. Search engines
have become highly
interactive and allow for
better control of website
information and
therefore, ranking.
Formerly, rankings could
be affected by obsolete
information. SEO ranking
is based upon several
factors through an
algorithm method by which
a search engine results
are
determined:
1.
Keywords
2. Keyword
Density
3. Navigational
Links - Incoming and
Outgoing
4. Links to URL,
Websites throughout body
of text
Search Engine
Results Page
(SERP)
Considering that
all queries by users end
in a search engine
results page (SERP), the
quality of the results
may well be the most
important factor in SEO
ranking.
These SERP listings can
be based upon organic,
algorithm or contextual
listings, some with web
page metadata
tags.
From the point of view of
the user, the SERP
ideally will be
up-to-date with the most
relevant results in
priority
order.
This avoids thousands of
pages of results that
have little if any
relevance to the user's
query.
The Strength of
Keywords
Search engines
rely upon the user's
ability to define their
keywords into the
strongest connection to
the link to their website
or blog.
Social media applications
require the same, if not
more, clarity in the use
of keywords.
Due to the brevity of
social media application
functions, beginning a
line of communication
that will have a longer
ripple effect should be
well thought out prior to
commencement of the
initial communication.
Therefore, Text SEO
requires careful choice
of keywords to achieve
maximum
results.
This is especially true
if Text SEO is intended
to be a link to a
business website or
blog.
With the advent of social
media communication,
arises in-depth awareness
of choices of words that
most exemplify intent,
meaning and understanding
on a broad level that
will inspire
reaction.
In simple terms, it means
choosing the best words
for the best, largest
volume response. This is
how keyword strength is
connected to SERPs and
SEO ranking.
The reality is to "Post
it Shorter....Post it
Stronger" where Text SEO
is concerned.
Help With
Keyword
Strength
The fastest way
to determine whether
keywords are as direct
and effective as
possible, use a thesaurus
or an online keyword
finder with listings of
alternative
words.
Decide which keywords are
strongest, how well
they
create responses and how
easy they will be for
users to find on a
results page.
Obviously, Text SEO
linked to a website or
blog with have good
ranking enhances the Text
SEO ranking as
well.
It's also a good way to
accelerate online
recognition and branding
for businesses. In a
single text message of 10
words or less, create a
social interaction that
captures attention and
opens the door to a new
marketing
venue...

Text
SEO
If you are new to
seo, let me give you a
few ideas that will hopefully
help kick you in the right
direction. Search
engine optimization using
the main text of your page
(text seo) is
a vital part of ranking
organically in the
SE's. In fact, this
page is a great example of text
seo since I am using the
keyword (also the page title)
in the body of the
text. But I
didn't just post the page for
traffic without caring about
the content. This
page contains legitimate
information that will help
others get their pages
ranked.
Are you with
me?
I'm a big fan of
organic traffic (your
website listed for free
in search results).
This is not always an easy
task.
There are other forms of seo
that need to be
considered. Meaning...
not just the text is
important.
For example, you could buy a
domain name that matches your
keyword. I actually owned
15 or so domain names before I
learned about keyword
marketing. I lost more
money than I made.
You Need To
Use A keyword Research
Tool
A great free one is the
Google Adwords Keyword Tool.
Everything is done online, and
there is nothing to install on
your computer. Another great
tool is Keyword
Elite. It is a piece of
software that you buy and
install. It has quite a few
more features than the free
Google tool... but it's not
free. Another way to do
keyword research is
Wordtracker.com. It is a
membership site that you pay
for every month but the data
is accurate, and you get
what you pay
for.
Anyway, the goal is
to find "good" keywords,
add them to your text in a
relevant manner, and gain
organic traffic from the search
engines.
Once you have a good keyword
and the domain name, you
can post a free blog as
well. For your blog
title, use the SAME keyword
phrase. So if you use
blogger, a free service owned
by Google (I recommend you
do) your website address
will begin with your keyword,
and then
.blogspot.com.
For example, my keyword for
this page is text seo, so I
posted a blog at http://text-seo.blogspot.com
so that the blog title matches
my keyword too. Then I
link them together. There
are linking strategies too
http://tagSEOguy.blogspot.com
that are part of the SEO
norm.
You can create one way
links, two way links, and/or
three way links. You need
all of them. Besides SEO
is more like a journey than an
event.
You can repeat this process,
and end up with SEVERAL
first page listings for the
same "good" keyword, thus
reaping the majority of the
traffic.
And last but not least, when
using search engine tricks and
text
seo like this,
try to use your keyword in the
first and last paragraph of
your text. This will make
your blog page or web page
keyword rich, meaning Google
will love it and rank it.
I don't do it every
time, but you
should at least try.
I have heard that using your
keyword 1 time per 100 words is
a good guideline, but it
doesn't have to be exactly
that. Bolding your
keyword helps too, like I've
done above. Just don't go
crazy (keyword stuffing) or
Google may be alarmed and ban
your content. That would
be bad.
Sincerely,
Andrew Hittle
