bungy 2 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I'm looking to produce a site as a hub for a business idea and i'm struggling to get my head around website optimisation and how you get a site to the front page of the search engines. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

J5KE F 0 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Not too sure, but our website has a fair amount of traffic from fb.. We did do an ad campain last christmas but i think its all about little things called meta tags..?! Or summit like that! Dang im sounding nerdy lol! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Google adwords and lots of dynamic content is what you need these days. Not many search engines use meta tags to that extent anymore...It's all about rich and Updated content... One of the reason I have new forum posts and the Facebook box on the front page as it always being dynamically updated and search engines love that Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 Oh and use social networking sites such as Facebook / YouTube to generate hits google loves that sort of thing too...Facebook and YouTube is practically a free advertising platform. But depends what area your venture falls in... Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 its a hard world, but pete is correct. its about interesting and forward moving sites now.content has to be relevant, links need to say what they are and link to a relevant page, no 'click here' just make the word the link.pictures should be named what they are as google cant see pics so it reads the name and the tx behind it, so if its a vr6 then call the filename that and label it vr6 too. make sure you keep the site up to date, add pages, new content etc so google thinks its worth coming back, if it doesnt change or update google will slow down return visits, they want to see interesting sites, that are relevant, with new content and links coming in or out to make it worth putting up there for people to see.facebook and twitter updates are a good way, have links from them that update onto your page, but again make sure the content is relevant. titles of the page and keywords need to relate to the page, dont just stick 30 keywords in, put about 3 for each page that are about that page and leave it at that. add your business onto google maps too and put a link on there to your site.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 In our early days to improve our rankings I bought out the VR6 club that ranked above us (club vr6) and redirected to our page as that page ranked number 1 when starting up for the word "vr6" now we are right up there. What I also did was put in 50 quid a month into google adwords so when specific key words this site was displayed at the top of google search results just to give us a boost... Also, check out google site map on google webmaster tools, tons of valuable information.... Link to post Share on other sites
