the steps in SEO

[fighting003]

1. Keyword Analysis - Keywords are the corner stones of a website. Keyword Analysis should precede content development.
2. Content - Content forms the basis of any site. The content should be rich in keywords that the site focuses on.
3. Link Building - Link Building are the next step in the SEO process. There are two concepts called the inbound and outbound links. They will help the site get a better page rank in search engines. But links do not mean just links; they should be quality ones. The number of outbound links should be less than inbound links.
4. Search Engine submission - Submission of your site to quality search engines. There are both paid and free search engine submissions.
5. Directory submission - There are paid and free directories available. You can make the submission of your site but submit it in the related category and the site.
6. Meta Tags - Meta tags are very crucial in the SEO process. Relevant and sensible Meta tags only make the site search engine optimized.
7. Site Map - A good site map that does not have broken links is also necessary for the SEO process.

Of course, before starting a website, you need to give time in researching suitable and less competitive keywords for your site.

1. Keyword Research: People are searching for your products and services, but they may be using words you're not anticipating. That's where keyword research comes in. It allows you to understand the ways your customers are searching. For example, if you sell footwear, you might assume people are searching for your products using that word. But are they also using other words?

2. Good Content: Once you understand what people are searching for, you can then ensure you have quality content that matches. For example, say that you sold strollers and saw that there was interest in an "all-terrain" type. Do you have a page about them? If not, that's content you might want to create.

3. Accessibility: Once your content is online, can the search engines actually find it? Search engines need to be able to "crawl" your website and locate pages that they can add to their searchable "book" or "index" of the Web. It's possible to block them without realizing this. Here's a fast, easy test to tell. Search for your website on Google or Bing by using the site: command ahead of your domain name, like this:

4. Health Check: Closely related to accessibility, there are ways you can check on the "health" of your site, in terms of SEO. Two leading ways are free and trustworthy, offered by the search engines themselves.

5. Build Links: One of the primary ways search engines decide which pages should rank well is by looking at links to those pages. Content that has high-quality links pointing at it gets a boost.

6. Be Social: There is one legitimately easy way to earn those hard links—by being social. Get your site on Twitter, Facebook and especially Google+. Share your content through these and other appropriate social channels. In turn, your followers may share it with others. All that sharing is a "social signal" that search engines are beginning to use to help understand what's good content.
