With reference to this post: Jumping in at the Deep End, I have now embarked on my quest to get this page: SEO Software into the Top 10 results on Google.co.za.
So far I have done the following:
The first mistake was that I do not have a Meta Description available – as this is a WordPress installation I went and searched for a plugin to handle my SEO and downloaded the first result from the search list: All in One SEO Pack (If you have any recommendations for other WordPress SEO Plugins please drop them in the comments box below) – and optimised the meta tags to show:
<meta name=”description” content=”SEO Software guaranteed to get your web site to the Top 10 of organic listings in the search engine of your choice.” />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”seo software, axandra, desktop, ibp, internet business promoter” />
Now we wait a couple of days, run the report again, check how we are doing and then move onto the next step or take further remedial action based on the recommendations in the second report.
If you are too ‘snoep’ to buy Axandra and just want to get your grubby hands on a report for yourself then pop along to one of our mates who offers a report for a small fee: SA-SEO Optimisation Report.
1 of the most valuable pieces of advice I pass on to individuals is about web-site functionality. You will discover so many corporations these days seeking to get ranked, however their web-sites are generally crap. You actually have to make various improvements to get ranked and remain ranked.
No. They are almost completely useless. The only real use for this type of software is for checking your website ranking. If you are doing your own SEO, you need to spend some time learning the basics; software will not do it for you.
One of the criteria used by google for site rankings is site speed. You can increase your rankings if you get better hosting, currently your site takes a bit long to load. tested it multiple times to see. Dont worry i dont sell hosting, just thought i’d share this fact with you. Excellent site btw.
SEO tips! I love the techie stuff. please post more.
