Seo Basics Guide To Start On A New Site

In this seo basics guide I’ll be taking you step by step from completing you first posts in your site to getting your first backlinks. Remember, SEO is an ongoing process, it does not stop when you think you have enough content.

Lets start with the basic plugins you need if you work on  the wordpress platform. I assume you have found your main keyword and two more you want to use on this website. Before you do anything else, look at this list essential plugins you need when you follow this seo basics guide. Install them,  activate them. You could leave the google XML sitemaps for now, I’ll tell you in a later step when to activate it.

Enter the plugin name into the search box and hit search.

Now find the plugin from the results and install.

Seo Basics Guide | Prepare content.

During the course of this seo basics guide, you will see that original content is all you want. Write it yourself or if you can’t you can easily outsource it , the are many many freelance writer on the internet waiting to write your content for you. Make sure you tell them what is is you want, what kind of keywords you are targeting and how many words. For this guide I’ll recommend you to have more than 600 words articles.

It is very good for seo to have articles with more words, nothing less than 500. Do make sure your content has the keyword in it , probably once a paragraph, in the first and last sentence. You should not have the keyword in the content more that 5 %. A good rule of thumb is about once every 5 or so sentences.

I’ll explain the basic structure of a typical post with on page seo in mind. Take your article, read it, and make notes. As you follow this seo basics guide, think of the application of what I’m saying, and go do it, okey!

Remember, Do NOT PUBLISH YOUR FIRST ARTICLE UNLESS YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ON PAGE SEO, get into this habit now, only publish after on page seo have been checked.

Title: Keyword in the title?

H1 Keyword in the Header 1

H2 Keyword in header 2

H3 Keyword in header 3

Keyword in text?

Have a look at this well optimized article you are reading now. In the title, the fist header, the second header, third header. Seo basics guide is the keyword, and if it is relevant you can structure a heading like this

Keyword | heading of the paragraph

You need to ad value to your content doing the headers and sub headers like this, don’t just do it to get your keyword in there. That goes with all the keywords in the content. It should make sense, if it does not your readers will leave your page a lot quicker than they have found it.

Seo Basics Guide | Internal linking and no follow external linking.

Having completed these steps in this seo basics guide, you need to link to at least one page in your website, any page will do. High-lite one of your keywords in the text and click on the link in your wysiwyg editor and ad your url and title (keyword).  Now you need one external link to an relevant website. I usually use Wikipedia for this. Now you have to ad the rel=nofollow to the link, it will look like this

<a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_optimization” rel=”nofollow”>seo basics guide</a>

Upload at least one image into your post and make sure you have the alt text set as your keyword and the description.

If you decide to use seo pressor, you should now have a score of 100. Try to get that score of a 100% if you can. If you did what I said in this seo basics guide it should not be a problem.

Seo Basics Guide | Publishing and indexing

Now if you have all this in order, you can publish your first post. Please do not put any affiliate links or any other links to other websites on this post at this time. You need to get indexed first. Hit publish and now go back to your plugins and activate the google xml sitemap.

Now you copy your post url when you view your post, and go to pingler.com, and ping that url . I usually only submit the main url to google and big. Just type submit url to google search engine and you will see where to go. Now go over to http://www.pingfarm.com/, glick on the rapid indexer and ad your site url and post url and hit rapid index. Be sure to be indexed by google first before adding more content or any affiliate links.

Last step is checking if your site is indexed. Go put your url in google search, if it shows up your site has been indexed. It will look like this.

When you see this you can start with more posts, affiliate links and backlinking. I’ll explain more in the next post in the seo basics guide.
