Receive more Malaysia traffic by SEO Tips

Get More Visitors using 12 rules to receive more traffic, thanks to improvement in your SEO.

Keep an old domain name, but…

Because new domains may take time to become visible in results of search engines, Google mainly, you should avoid using a new domain if possible. Maybe you can register an expired domain that is already indexed on search engines, if it matches the topic of your future site, see on the list of expired domains.

For foreign users, use a top-level domain related to the language used on the site (Ex: “.my” for Malaysia): this is just has having two more ranking points! But the name of the domain is very important also and different languages use different words, so use a name in the language of your visitors…

Keywords in the domain name may improve the position in search results. They have to be separated by a dash to be recognized. Remember the expertsexchange.com site that has had to change for experts-exchange.com.

Think to visitors, not to robots

Improve the content to match what visitors can expect and not to match what search engines expect. Robots (used by search engines) imitate the behavior of visitors, and will give your page a better rank, if your site is better for visitors: don’t try to imitate the robots yourself!

The title is important

Inside the <head> section a <title> tag gives to search engines the title of the page. This phrase will be displayed in search results. (The H1 tag may be a replacement).

This title is very informative for search engines. Don’t leave the “untitled” word generated by editors, and avoid short phrases as “The Car”, “Home”, for example, put a full 50 characters length sentence that you consider to be the best description of the page and that let user click on the link.

Don’t forget any keyword

* The number of occurrences of a keyword in a page is not important providing it is used at least two or three times.

* But the variety of keywords used in your text is important.

* By using a word you are the only one to have, you are sure to reach the first position in results of requests that includes this word. This is better than a 10/10 PageRank!

* Proximity of keywords inside the page is a factor to select the page.

* The main page especially must contains all the main keywords related to the whole site, and each other page, the keywords related to the topic of the page.

* You may consider keywords moved from the “keyword” meta tag to titles and sub-titles (h1, h2, … tags) inside the page.

* Some sites for webmaster provide a keyword analysis that will said you which groups of keywords are more often given to search engines, and thus what visitors are likely to search.

Don’t put barrier on the way of the robot

* There are some intricacies robots can not pass through: JavaScript links, form’s actions.

* All pages must be accessible from another page of the site by a least one hyperlink (a tag).

* Flash and other such stuff that slow down the loading of the page, and the lack of text let the page ignored by crawlers.

* Think to build a sitemap if robots need for help to index the site.

Name of anchor, “title” and “alt” attributes, and filenames are important

All these attributes must be descriptive: keywords related to the destination page or to the image. Keywords in filename must be separated by “-” (not by “_” even if the later trends to be recognized now by engines).

For example this label: “Rules to improve traffic thanks to search engine” is better than “Best traffic” as label of link on a page. For the ranking of the target page, but also for the indexing of the source page itself.

Don’t forget Meta tags

Two meta-tags are useful: “description” and “robots”. The “Googlebots” meta is equivalent to “robots”, but for Google only. The “Keywords” meta is not used by Google but maybe some engines use it yet.

Be a detective

This task is very tedious. Prepare a list of groups of keywords that match your page. Do a search on main search engines: Google, Live and Yahoo. Look at pages that have a better rank than your page. Visit these sites to know why they have a better rank. You can also register your site at Google for an analysis: how visitors come on your pages.

Artificial links and real reference

Yes, you can get these links from lots of directories than nobody ever visits (not including the Yahoo or Dmoz directories that are often linked and visited)… This is an artifact of popularity. This is also a poor value. A good and unique content will provide you a lot more links by keen visitors, this real popularity is a criterion for search engine’s algorithms and will improve seriously your PageRank.

When your site is really useful and complete in its topic, and not before, submits it to the Dmoz directory.

Avoid broken links

Broken links are very annoying for visitors and this is considered also by search engine to evaluate your site. From time to time, test your site with some software involved in broken links detection as this tool at W3C.

Build a site map

When you make a site map visible to search engines, you can get an analysis of your site and a report of errors. A guide and a free tool to build a site map, a sitemap is useful where not all pages in your website are indexed by search engines.

Lengthen visit duration

The duration of visits and the number of pages viewed by a visitor is a factor of quality. Retain your visitors with complete but not too long articles, 20 KB sized pages perhaps, or interesting links, or enigmas, or suspense…
