The Spidering Process
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Are you in the Google index?Site:www.yourdomain.com
Use the ‘Site’ command with your domain name at the Google search box
For Example: Site:www.businesslinkke
nt.com
497 web pages in the index
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Check your spiderability – can the search engines spider your whole site?
http://tools.seobook.com/general/spider-test/index.php
http://www.se-spider.com/
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
http://www.se-spider.com/
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
HTML Sitemap
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Use a sitemap
Use html navigation
Add html links to all other important pages
Use a google sitemap– www.xml-sitemaps.com
Check your spiderability athttp://www.ranks.nl/cgi-bin/ranksnl/tools/checklink.pl
MAKE YOUR SITE “SPIDERABLE”
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Register with Google Webmaster Central (GWC)

Getting the right domain and hosting
UK company Targeting the UK In UK English Weak on inbound links .com domain But - Google thinks it’s NORWEGIAN
– Because that’s where it’s hosted…….
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
International traffic Issues
Search engines will use the top level domain (TLD) to assess where you want traffic from (eg - .co.uk, .de, .it etc)
If you have a .com (or .net, .info etc) they will use your hosting location to determine this
Use Google Webmaster central to override this and tell Google where you want traffic from

Strategy and Process
The right keywords or keyphrases are the starting point for our strategy
Traffic from a variety of uncommon phrases?– Eg ‘marketing training courses Manchester’
One big win on a major phrase?– Eg ‘Training courses’– ‘personal loans’

Keyphrase Selection
It’s a two stage process…
1. Developing the Initial List
2. Refining and shortlisting your choices
See http://janaklin.blogspot.com/2005/06/lesson-3finding-keyphrases-to.html
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Developing the Initial List
- Brainstorm with your self and others you work with
- Look at what competitors use (‘view’; ‘source’ then see the meta data and visible text)
- Any brand names or generic product types which are relevant
- Study your web stats for keyphrases which have driven people to your site
- Take you mates down the pub and ask them what they would type in to find you
- Use web based tools eg Google Keyword Tool:-
- You could even ask your customers and suppliers

Keyphrase Analysis
Or…run a pay per click campaign!– 3 months
This way you’ll find out what really works– What converts to
sales or enquiries
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
What are the main factors to consider when selecting and prioritising keyphrases?
Search Volume – the number of monthly searches– The bigger the better?
Business Relevance – how important is this term to my business
Keyphrase relevance – what is the searcher looking for when using this phrase– Single word phrases are not good as its difficult to know the searchers intent– Phrases can have different meanings ‘eg ‘cold treatment’– Mix ‘long tail’ and ‘head phrases’
Competition – how much competition is there for this phrase
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
What do you do if there’s no direct translation?
“City breaks” has no direct equivalent in:– French– German– Dutch– Spanish– Italian

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Major Ranking Factors
On Page Factors (‘Entry Ticket’)– Metadata – title, keyword, description, H1– Visible (readable) html content– Internal links
Off Page Factors (‘Competitive Differentiators’)– Inbound link infrastructure– Directories, blogs, pr sites, etc, etc..– Domain trust – age, age of links
Behavioural (less important generally , BUT will become more important)– Number of visits, length of stay, social media activity
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Textual content is King
There is no substitute for good ‘keyword rich’ content
– At least 200-250 words
– Content semantically related to keywords (LSI)
Eg, valentine, love, hearts, romance
Focus on natural writing of copy
Add new relevant content as often as you can– Use pdf’s, word documents– New pages with related
content – eg history, background, instructions
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
The Keyword Density Issue for Visible Text

In summary Write text as naturally as possible Check afterwards that the target phrase(s) is included the right number of times
– 3 repetitions per 100 words is generally enough.– Punctuation not important
The phrases can be included in:-– The main text– Header tags (h1, h2 etc)– In in-text links– In navigation links
– In footnotes– In ‘alt’ tags

IMPORTANCE OF TITLES

Meta Tags Keyword and Description tags
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Optimising your Metadata- Important that the tags show a theme between
each other and the visible content
Title tag– No more than 10 words, use hyphens, commas pipes (|) as delimiters – Main keyphrase at the beginning of the tag
Keyword tag– No more than 4 words– All lower case– Separated by a comma then a space
Eg web marketing, ecommerce training, internet consultancy…… Only include phrases WHICH ARE ON THE PAGE!
Description tag– No more than 25 words– Should contain keywords – up to 3 repetitions– ‘salesy’ to encourage click throughs
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Major Ranking Factors
On Page Factors (‘Entry Ticket’)– Metadata – title, keyword, description, H1– Visible (readable) html content– Internal links
Off Page Factors (‘Competitive Differentiators’)– Inbound link infrastructure– Directories, blogs, pr sites, etc, etc..– Domain trust – age, age of links

(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
New site or not? New domains take a while to get ranked by Google
(let’s say 6 months)
If possible add new pages to existing sites to get quicker rankings
If necessary use existing domain to capture phrases and redirect to new site– Eg Heskins.com to Heskins.fr and Heskins.it– Use .com to capture italian and french searches and
redirect to relevant site– Use GWC to tell Google that part of .com site dedicated to
french and italian traffic
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Essentials for new sites…. Your Content management system (CMS) has to produce search engine
compliant metadata – unique on every page
The CMS should generate SE friendly urls– Eg www.yoursite.co.uk/blue_widgets– NOT - http://www.yoursite.com/bvsn/bvcom/ep/home.do?
tabId=3&BV_SessionID=EngineID=cccd
You need the functionality to override this metadata to streamline the SEO moving forwards
The architecture has to be search engine optimised – eg most important pages close to homepage
Use Google Webmaster Central (GWC) to set up site maps, analytics, geographic area , etc and monitor spidering
http://www.janklin.com/blog/seo-and-new-websites
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Redesigning an existing website - Preserving Page Rank
The inner ‘Page Rank’ equity has to be preserved
5th item down is www.bodycote.com/?OB=1 – 20– This page has a Page Rank
value of 5
What will happen to this equity when a new page is set up?
Search Engine friendly redirection of each page is essential
(c) Jan Klin & Associates 2011
Search Engine friendly Redirection -301’s
301 redirects tell google bot that one page should be permanently redirected to another page AND transfer the Page Rank equity
Use to transfer page rank from old page to a new one

Ensure video is tagged with relevant keywords
Ensure it is in the most appropriate category
Overdub the video with your domain name
Ensure you include a clickable domain name back to your site
Ensure the title and description include your target keyphrases (you can use Youtube to see what the most popular phrases are in your category)
Ideally get a couple of friends to 'rate' your video - ratings (good or bad) have a strong impact on rankings
