Posted by Geek Makubex on Friday, February 10, 2012

The internet is so expansive. There are so many articles about so many topics. It takes a good search query, and an equally good search engine to find what you are looking for. Just as important however, is the manner in which you input your search. This article will offer some tips.

Keep your URLs clean and simple. URLs that are cluttered with symbols and various database parameters do not help search engines in finding you because your website's domain name is buried in it. In addition, long URLs do not look good in search results. This is one of the problems with building dynamic websites, so be aware of this if you are using dynamic architecture.

Avoid using more than 150 characters in your description tag. Keep the description tag short and concise. Adding too much to the description tag may detract from its purpose and many search engines only allow that number of characters anyway, so by adhering to the limit you can make sure all search engines accept the tag.

To get your website in the top results for a popular key word can be difficult if not entirely impossible, so search engine optimizing it for similar but more specific key words is one easy way to get your site to the top of relevant searches without spending months fine tuning it for a single key word.

When trying to make your site optimized for search engines, there are some key components which will make yours a search-friendly site. Remember, you are trying to design a site which is appealing to visitors and search engine spiders. Make sure that text is readable: font should be standard size, no silly fonts which are hard to interpret, and be sure the color of font you choose is easy on the eyes. These are just very basic principles, but they are important to your site being search engine friendly.

Without the proper knowledge searching through the internet using a search browser is like looking through a sandy beach that extends for miles for a treasure chest without a map showing where X marks the spot. Using the tips from this article you will be skilled in finding the internet treasure you seek.
