SEO is a must if you want traffic in your website.  Some people go about it in complicated ways that are difficult for novices to follow.  However SEO is pretty easy especially if you stick to the basics.   Take a look at these easy SEO techniques that you can do for your website.

One easy way to make your website rank and generate traffic is to find the right keywords.  A study by Entireweb shows that the majority of the people who use search engines use a combination of two words.  A significant number use three words while a small percentage use only one word.  An easy way to think about relevant keywords for your website is to think how other people would go about searching for it.  So think about good keywords for your URL, titles and image names because they count.

Secondly, avoid excessive images in your website.  Spiders and bots search text not images.  This is also true with Flash.  They look nice in websites but do very little for SEO.  If you do have images, make sure that your image is closely related to your keywords.  This will make it easier to associate the image description to your website.

Another good thing to remember with SEO is to make your URLs search engine friendly.  Aside from making it easier for the bots and spiders to crawl surfers would find it easier to understand www.newpulsemanagement.com/blog/basic-seo-for-beginners/ rather than www.newpulsemanagement.com/blog/?p=232

Always remember to link to yourself.  This is basic SEO and self explanatory.  Link back to your archives when making new content. Incorporate your internal links into your site.  A site map is also very useful since spiders love to crawl these and it gives users a linked listing of your website.

Lastly do not forget that with SEO content is king.  It needs to be fresh and always updated, this is crucial especially if you want to attract traffic.  Your content should also contain your keywords.  However make sure that you don’t overdo this.  Over-stuffing keywords is a no-no for SEO.  Overusing keywords can reduce the chance of your website showing up on relevant searches.
