Better SEO means better traffic and better traffic means quality visitors to your blog. Whenever you publish your website, to make it popular you must submit it to major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. But Submitting to major search engines is not enough, for better traffic for your web site. You must care about the indexing capability of Search Engines to your website. Know how deep can search engine go to your website. There are certain things that you can do to make your website easily readable and accessible by search engines. I have summarized 9 most important things to consider for better optimization for search engine are described below.


Title
All web pages must have a page title. In the eyes of a search engine, the title is one of the most important pieces of information for deciding what a web page is about and for which keywords that page should achieve a high position. While creating a title for your website you must care about it’s length and text, Title much longer than 64 characters with same keyword repeating more than two times is not much acceptable. The first word in the title should preferably be the keywords that specifically define average content of your website.

Web page header (H1)
All of your web pages must have an H1, only one. It must not exceed 40 characters. And similarly as in Title, you must not repeat same keyword more than two times. The first word in the H1 should preferably be the secondary keyword that defines your website. Secondary in sense, the First keyword of your web site is the Page Title. You must skip the habit of making the H1 and Title keywords similar.

Contents and Number of Pages
Search Engines lists the pages you have in your web site. Your website would benefit a lot if you significantly increased the number of pages it contains.
The more pages a website contains, the better it is. Every new relevant page represents an opportunity to increase your visibility in the search engine results on more of your keywords.
If you have large number of text in single page then it might not be good search engine visibility. Rather, break up the contents in two or more pages; this will create space in search engine for several listing of your web site.

Volume of your text contents
Breaking of page doesn’t mean that you must create a separate page for each paragraph. You must divide your text contents according to your need. The web page having main content text less than 600 is not considered good in the eyes of search engines. The search engine will list the one above who have larger and unique content. Also the visitor goes to the page with larger contents. You might have noticed that most of the search engine results specify the size of the web page.
Always remember that Search engine reads only texts no images. Therefore make habit of putting alternate attribute for image tags. The search engine will list your images by reading your alternate tags, if you don’t have one then search engine will recognize it as just a normal HTML tag.

Text relevancy
Do you habit of using <strong>and emphasize,<em> HTML tags? If no then start making having of highlight some of the texts with strong and emphasizing tags. If you write something in bold or italic style it suggests the search engines that the highlighted content is more important than other content on the page. This ultimately acts as secondary keywords for your web page.

Source code vs. Web page Contents
A 100 KB web page doesn’t mean that you have large number of contents. You must remember that, a webpage is also composed of codes that layouts and designs your website. A website should mostly consist of readable text by visitors, and not superfluous codes. Search engines dislike crawling through the web page which contains large number of codes rather than contents. Therefore, you must maintain the balance between source code and content.



Meta description
Besides contents, there are some things that alternately define your website. I know we all are aware about this. Therefore, it is not necessary to describe it much. When the Meta description contains a keyword, it can have a small positive effect in the search engines. The earlier the keyword appears in the Meta description, the better it is. Description must not contain much stopping words like, and, for, on , the, etc. Search engine doesn’t read these words, rather they skips it.

Meta Keywords
This is another thing most of us know about. We all define Meta Tags, but we forget it’s limit. Don’t exceed Meta Keywords by 5.

URL
It is a great advantage, although not a must, for the URL of the web page to contain the keyword. For example, the optimal URL for the keyword "Computer" is http://www.computer.com.

These are the fastidious things that Search Engine looks for. Oh yes, I nearly forgot to mention it. Validity, you must have your web page HTML codes standard for all browsers and valid. This will reduce the confusion for search engine. HTML and CSS codes work as a road and contents as a trees and buildings at the bank of roads.
