Tips for creating SEO Friendly websites-2

  • 3 click access to any page of your website. Make sure that any page that you wish to be indexed by the search engines should be accessible from the home page in no more than 3 clicks.
  • Avoid Redirections with javascript or the server side language: Don’t make your website in such a way that clicking on a link causes the redirection using javascript or some server side language. Use href of anchor tag for redirection. Any programmatic redirection will cause the search bot not to index that particular page as it does not execute any of those statements.
  • Use Sitemaps: Sitemaps are simple text or xml files that list all the URLs one per line. You should always create at least one sitemap for your website. Your sitemap should list all the URLs that search engines should index. Some search engines including Google also give you flexibility to submit your sitemap to them for indexing purposes.
  • Incoming & Outgoing Links: The results shown by a search engine depend on various factors such as number of keywords, page relevancy, page rank etc. Generally these factors are calculated by how many other websites point to your website and vice versa. Therefore put your website link in as many different websites as you can. An easy way could be to use social networking websites and link sharing facilities.
  • Choose a good webhosting service: Be sure to choose a good webhosting company for your website. The company’s hosting server should provide a fair up time. A large downtime may cause a search engine return empty handed from your website because of no response. Although the search engine will check again during its periodic cycle, that will delay the indexing of your website.
Good luck and happy development time.
