Know About Seo and Smo
Social Media Optimization (SMO), is a term refers to the process of ensuring that a website is easy to link to by utilizing the different social media sources together with but not limited to, blogs, bookmarking websites and media sharing websites. There are a lot of similarities and differences between SEO & SMO. Because of this, and the idea that one cannot take over the role for the other, it is important to know when and why to use each optimization technique.
Similiarties Between Seo and Smo
- If people don't have a good reason to link to you then they probably don't have a good "real" reason to visit your website either. Be careful though, linkability and linkbait are not the same thing. Some of the keys to linkability are: content, design and usability.
- This almost does not need an individual category because part of linkability is the good content. But, the point needs to be stressed; you can have good content that does things besides giving people a good reason to link.
- Both SEO and SMO are way to be a focus to people to a website without approaching a message on them, but instead showing them what value your website can bring to them.
Differenences Between Seo and Smo
| Seo | Smo |
| This is obvious but needs to be mentioned, SEO is about search engines, primarily the big 3, Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft (GYM). | SMO is about the "new" social media sources that have crept up, including blogs, bookmarking websites, media sharing websites etc |
| SEO you might be looking to sell something. | With SMO you might be looking to build community |
| with SEO there is not as much participation | With SMO you should actively participate in the same activities that your audience does |
| Factor: onpage, offpage(directory, article, forums, blogs,social bookmarking,press release, link building,) content optimization, metatags generation, keyword analysis. | directory, article, forums, blogs,social bookmarking,press release, link building etc. |

1- All of your web pages can be indexed by search engines - make sure that they all have at least one link from somewhere on your site.
2- You have unique content on every single page.
3- Meta-tags are arranged correctly - your page title tags and description tags should describe the content of your different web pages. The page title tags should be less then 68 characters and the description tags more detailed but less then 148 characters.
4- Label the different headers on your web pages using H tags.
5- Your web page URLs are SEO friendly, use mod re-write for Linux and Apahche hosting or use IIS redirect for Windows. Ideally make it so that the URLs describe your content i.e. use domain.com/blue-widgets.php as apposed to having something like domain.com/product.php?cat=146. Use hyphens or underscores to separate words in the URLs.
6- The links within your site are complete i.e. if you are linking to the blue widgets page link to domain.com/blue-widgets.php as apposed to just blue-widgets.php.
7- Use descriptive URLs for your images i.e. use blue-widget.jpg as apposed a bunch of numbers and or letters .jpg.

11- There is only one version of your homepage - 301 redirect the index or default page back to domain.com.
12- Don't waste PageRank on pages that you don't need to be in the search engines or that you don't think will bring you traffic, possibly your terms and conditions page or even your about and contact page. Use the rel="nofollow" tag in the links to these pages.
13- Use the rel="nofollow" tag in the links to websites that you do not trust, you think maybe using spamming techniques or you do not want to help in the search engines.
14- Make sure that your code is valid, in some instances bad code can lead to search engines not being able to properly read a page. Use the W3C validator to check your markup.

Link building
A little care in developing links will go a long way in getting your site ranked high in Search Engines.
PageRank of the linking page PageRank of the linking page, one of the most important factors, determines how much valuable importance is passed on to your page.
The higher the PageRank of the page linking to you, the higher the value you get.
Each link to your Web site is considered a vote. If your neighbour states in public that you are very trustworthy, or that you are his best friend (Google PageRank 2), this is of course a less important vote than when the President of your country says the same (Google PageRank 9).
Number of links on the linking page
The value your web page gets from a linking page is equal to the total PageRank value of that page divided by the total number of outgoing links on that page.Getting a link from a PR4 page that has only 20 outgoing links is much better than getting a link from a PR4 page that has 60 outgoing links.
With the same philosophy, it is better to get a link from a PR2 link page that has only 10 outgoing links than getting a link from a PR4 page that has over 100 outgoing links.
It is therefore as important to evaluate the total number of outgoing links on a links page, as it is, to evaluate the PR of the linking page.
This is where many people often falter, as they usually insist on getting a link from a high PR page, but if that page has 100 outgoing links, your page would only get 1/100th of that value.
Industry relevance
Search engines give higher importance to links pointing to your site from your own industry segment as opposed to those from unrelated industries.A link on a site about motor sports will do very little good for a restaurant site, however a link in a food services directory will likely have high relevance.
Searching industry relevance pages:
Search for similar pages once you have found a really good page.
Look for "similar pages", "related pages" or "more like this" next to entries in any search engine's results list.
Alternatively use the Page Specific Search on the Google Advanced Search screen.
Page relevance
Most sites offering links have several categories listed on their sites. Try to get a link from a category that closely matches your own industry.For instance, if you have a site related to hotels, then, on your partner site, a tickets site for example, try to identify a resource directory pertaining to hotels, resorts, reservations, vacation packages, travel, tourism, food and beverages, etc.
An algorithm called “Applied Semantics” determines the industry relevance of a page within a site. The Applied Semantics algorithm studies various keywords on a Web page and tries to determine the industry or business segment of each page. Applied Semantics estimates the industry segments that are relevant to a particular page.
Anchor-Text
Anchor Text is the visible hyperlinked text on a Web page.Since anchor text is very important, make sure that your most important keywords appear in the anchor text from the link pointing to your site.
It tells search engines what the page is about. Used wisely, it boosts your rankings in search engines, especially in Google.
If you use "click here" as the words people are going to click on, you're telling people the page is about the subject "click here". If you use "Part 2" as the anchor text, your telling the search engines the page is discussing "part 2".
You wouldn't want to rank highly for "click here" or "Part 2".
However, if your site is all about purple widgets, you don't want only "purple widgets" to be used as the phrase in every link to your site. Over-optimizing like that would create an unnatural pattern.
You can use anchor text in:
- External links – links from other sites.
- Internal links – links on your pages.
- Navigation maps.
- Links on your main page. A very important spot.
Dynamic link pages
You should also watch out for any link pages that are generated dynamically.Chances are that such pages would not get indexed soon enough, which means that a link from such a page would not benefit you.
Some dynamic link pages are intentionally generated in such a way so as to prevent them from getting indexed. Some unscrupulous webmasters do this to trick you to prevent any PageRank leaking from their site to yours.
Links from such pages therefore do not give you any benefit.
Examples of dynamic links include URLs containing symbols such as “?” or “&”.
Javascript link pages
It is also important to identify pages that are generated through Flash or a JavaScript, as Search Engines cannot read Flash pages nor can they read the links embedded within Flash.These are some of the tricks unethical webmasters use. While such a site may claim to have placed a link to your Web page, in effect they are not giving you any benefit.
Redirected links
A link that is first redirected to another page within your partner site before pointing to your site is a redirected link.You should watch out for such links, as search engines do not give weight to redirected links. It is very unlikely that your site would draw any benefit from a redirected link.
Website Optimization
Keyphrases in the website title:
* Create a descriptive title for your page: Your web page title is very important because search engines will display it as link text in the search results. The title must include your main keyphrases.
* If you want to use your company name in your page title, unless you are a big company like Microsoft or Coca Cola don't start your page title with the name of your company. Start with your keyphrases.
* Keep your keyphrase together. Don't split the words.
* Make the title short (8 words or less).
Keyphrases in your Keyword Meta Tag:
Search engines rarely use the Keyword Meta Tags any more (Google ignores them). However, place a list of your main and secondary keywords in the Keyword Meta Tag of your pages, just in case search engines decide to use them again.
Keyphrases in your Description Meta Tag:
The Description Meta Tag is still important, since some search engines use them to go with the results link. As its name implies, the Description Meta Tag must describe your site. Remember to:
* Use your keyphrases (main and secondary) in your Description Meta Tag.
* Make your description concise and professional. Avoid using hype.
* Make it short (25 words or less).
* Keep your keyphrases together.
Keyphrases in the body of your page:
It is important to use your keyphrases on your page, since this will help the search engines determine what your page is about, and its relevance to your chosen keywords:
* Use your keyphrases several times, and place them as close to the top of the page as possible.
* Place your keyphrases between Header Tags (H1, H2 or H3) in the first two paragraphs of your page. o Place your keyphrases in bold type phase at least once.
* Repeat your keyphrases often to increase your keyphrase density. Repeating your keyphrases between 5 to 10 times for every 100 words in your page is considered effective. You must also take into account your visitors: they should be able to read your page fluently and effortlessly and the text must not sound awkward. (Remember that ultimately it is your readers who will decide if your page is worth the time they spend on it).
* If you use a left navigation bar, the search engine will read it before the body of your page. Make sure you include your most important keywords there, too.
Other Web Page Design Considerations:
* You must make your page easy to navigate by the search engines. Search engines heavily favor text over graphics, and HTML over other editing formats.
* Use text heavily. Avoid placing text in graphic format since the search engines won't be able to read it.
* Avoid frames. Search engines have trouble following them, and they may index only the framed content page and not the navigation frame.
* Avoid Flash and JavaScript: search engines don't follow either one very well. If you use Flash, make an HTML version of your site available to your readers and the search engines. If you use a JavaScript navigation menu, include an alternate text menu at the bottom of the page, so it can be followed by the search engines.
* Create a Site Map: that includes all the pages in your site, and place a link to it from your homepage. When the search engine follows your site map link, it will find and index all the pages in your site!
* Make sure that all your internal pages link to your homepage.
* Don't try to describe all your products or services in one page. It will confuse the search engine and dilute your page's relevance. Instead, create different very focused pages, each with its own content and keyphrases, and optimize them too.

Selection of Specific Keywords
The best keywords will be those that are popular search terms (terms that people actually search for), and that clearly describe the purpose and the content of your pages. They will also have to be keywords for which there is relatively low competition.
There is no sense in trying to optimize your pages for super-competitive keywords where you don't stand a chance of ranking well (most one-word keyphrases fall into this category: for example, it would be impossible to rank well for the keyword 'book'). It would be better to target phrases like:
* 'cook book' - easier but still competitive
* 'italian cook book' - easier and less competitive
* 'northern italian cook book' - easier and not as competitive.
The more specific your keyphrase, the easier it will be for your site to rank well. You should therefore target keyphrases with three or more words to significantly improve your chances.
Choosing the wrong keywords can throw off your entire search engine optimization strategy. It will force you to re-work your pages for new keywords and wait for the search engines to re-crawl your site. For this reason, a few hours trying to pick the right keywords is time well spent.
To start, take a look at your pages. Look at them carefully and write down the words and phrases that best define your site. Try to build a list of two or three word phrases. Once you have developed this list of potential keyphrases you are ready for the next step: to analyze the demand and supply for those keyphrases, and choose the best ones (those with good demand and not enough supply).
Checking keyword demand
We will first check the demand for your selected keyphrases using a popular free tool: Overture's Search Term Suggestion Tool:
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/
This tool will show you how many people search for those terms in a month's period in Overture , a popular pay per click search engine. This tool will show you only those searches conducted in Overture, however, the relative popularity of search terms will be very similar in other search engines as well (there are also other more sophisticated tools like Wordtracker , the tool of choice of most search engine optimization experts).
In addition to telling you if your selected keyphrases are popular search terms, Overture's search term tool will show you other keyphrases that you may not have thought about, which may be even more relevant to your site.
For example, if your first keyphrase was "Italian Restaurant", the Search Term Suggestion Tool will also display other popular related search terms, like:
* "Gourmet Italian Restaurant"
* "Northern Italian Restaurant"
* "Italian Restaurant Pizzeria"
* "Italian Restaurant Miami", etc.
You may also try other keyphrases, for example: "Italian Cuisine", and the Search Tool may come up with more specific keyphrases, like:
* "Fine Italian Cuisine"
* "Italian Cuisine Miami"
* "Northern Italian Cuisine"
* "Italian Cuisine Fine Dining"
* "Gourmet Italian Cuisine", etc.
What you have done is to validate and enlarge your pool of popular, in-demand, potential keyphrases for your web page. The next step is to check the supply, or, in other words, how much competition there is for your selected keywords in the actual search engines.
Checking Keyword Supply
Now, get your list of keyphrases, go to Google ( http://www.google.com ) and type-in each of your keyphrases in the search box. Enter your keyphrases within quotation marks (to filter-out less relevant results), and see how many results each individual query produces, making a note of those with a relatively small number of results (less competition). You will stick with the keyphrase that:
1. Best describes the topic and content of your page
2. Is a popular search term according to Overture's Search Term Suggestion Tool
3. Generates a relatively small number of results after performing the Google search.
If "Gourmet Italian Restaurant" is the keyphrase that best meets these three criteria, it will become your primary keyphrase. To get even better results, you can choose a second keyphrase to make your page more relevant to an even more specific niche. For example, if your restaurant is in Miami, you can consider "Miami" a second keyphrase (also called a 'qualifier'). Once you have chosen the keyphrases for your main page (homepage) do the same for the other pages on your site.
search engine principles
Spider. This program downloads web pages just like a web browser. The difference is that a browser displays the information presented on each page (text, graphics, etc.) while a spider does not have any visual components and works directly with the underlying HTML code of the page. You may already know that there is an option in standard web browsers to view source HTML code.
Crawler. This program finds all links on each page. Its task is to determine where the spider should go either by evaluating the links or according to a predefined list of addresses. The crawler follows these links and tries to find documents not already known to the search engine.
Indexer. This component parses each page and analyzes the various elements, such as text, headers, structural or stylistic features, special HTML tags, etc.
Database. This is the storage area for the data that the search engine downloads and analyzes. Sometimes it is called the index of the search engine.
Results Engine. The results engine ranks pages. It determines which pages best match a user's query and in what order the pages should be listed. This is done according to the ranking algorithms of the search engine. It follows that page rank is a valuable and interesting property and any seo specialist is most interested in it when trying to improve his site search results. In this article, we will discuss the seo factors that influence page rank in some detail.
Web server. The search engine web server usually contains a HTML page with an input field where the user can specify the search query he or she is interested in. The web server is also responsible for displaying search results to the user in the form of an HTML page.
