SEO Friendly HTML

Search Engines like Google, Yahoo, etc. have crawler or bot to surf entire pages and check for links and determine which links is the best to jump it doing the same loop again.

Google also use html tags and attributes to help bot crawl better and accurately.

For help bots crawl clearly we can add several html tag to the page. It is totally legal and also meet w3 validity, so don’t worry…

  1. Title attribute in links

    <a href="http://mr.hokya.com" title="Online Blogging Resources"></a>
    Usually links determined by A tag which contain href to specified url. Anyways, inserting title attribute to this tag will help search engine recognize the category of content on your url. Sample :

  2. Insert keywords meta tag

    <meta name="keywords" content="blog,theme,tips,template"/> Keywords is important for basic and advance use. There’re so many SEO-services offering keywords builder and keywords density checker nowadays. Just keep in mind that you only put keywords in one meta tag each page. You can enter your keywords as many as you want separated by commas, but keep in mind not to repeat same word for fourth and only enter keyword related to your page.

  3. Alt attribute in images

    <img src="http://imageshack.us/2215685164894.jpg" alt="Ancient Building" /> That’s the example of Ancient Building picture uploaded to imageshack.us . The src explains about the address of picture to be loaded, while the alt attribute explain what exactly the picture is about. It’s just like title attribute, alt attribute is pretty needed to show or describe search engine what is the picture.

  4. Insert description meta tag

    <meta name="description" content="This blog contains of free blogging tips, wordpress theme, and plugin for all of blogs" /> This meta tag also important for major and minor search engines. Place only one description per page and explain what is your blog about. Your page will show up in Google Result with the description same as the description tag you give.

  5. Title attribute in iframes

    <iframe src="http://mr.hokya.com" title="Blog Tips"></iframe> This is useful for you who use some iframe to another page on the blog. Because the bots can read exactly what inside the iframe and won’t follow it, it’s still needed to put title on iframe to show bots what it’s about, so you make your content more valued by bots…

  6. Convert paragraphs to headings

    Some webmasters believe that bots like google also look for heading (which usually used to flag a title or something) to help them recognizing the major content of your current page. The method is easy, just replace <p> tags from your page to <h4> or <h5> tags

  7. Insert robots meta tag

    <meta name="robots" content="follow, all, index" /> This tags majorly works for Google. Just put into every of your pages to tell Google to follow everylinks on your blog and to index your pages to Google.

  8. Determine content-type

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    If you use Blogger, WordPress, or other post-ready blog, you don’t need to worry about this. But if you’re developer or making your own site, you should not miss this up. The content type simply tells to bots that your page is a html page within utf-8 charset.
