It has always been our understanding as SEO professionals in Some Web Devs, that being on the first page of Google Search Results or what is otherwise called the SERP ( Search Engine Results Page ), is not a matter of cost per say. Its a matter or time and effort put into something that is called SEO or Search Engine Optimization.

Keeping your WordPress website updated and all of its components too is essential to avoiding problems with stability and security. One of the most important things about WordPress is its vast community and large number or committed premium developer and developer vendors, constantly keeping their WordPress plugins and themes updates at the same time with the core of WordPress being kept up to date by the WP community.

One of the most common reasons of a website’s speed degrading, is image size. In more general terms, it’s how your browser receives these assets from the server and how often. When you load a web page on your browser, along with the html code, css context and other external assets, come the images and static assets embedded on that web page. What’s static assets? By static assets we mean all the items or files what don’t dynamically change with each server page load. For instance, a php page’s output might change each time you load that php page, some […]

In case you did all of the above and your question is “what happens then”, then you should know that neither on-site SEO nor off-site SEO are one-off actions. On-site SEO should be performed regularly, not necessarily frequently. Every here and there, you should be checking your on-site SEO and maybe apply micro- optimizations. For instance, you go back on your website and see that in your law services page, the “criminal” term is not all that much optimized, edit it and optimize it, it will be good. Off-site SEO should, on the other hand, be performed regularly and maybe […]

Most people consider links from social media are active links to your website. One of the most common misconception is that when you post a link from your website on Facebook, this link is considered an active link and will help your website grow in search engines. Do social media links help my website on search engines? Most social media mark all links that are posted on them as rel=nofollow. As mentioned before, rel=nofollow means that the link is indeed active and clickable, will drive the user to the destination, but it will not be “seen” by search engines. So all […]

There are a couple of ways you can add links to other peoples’ websites. Since you don’t control their website but they do, then you can’t really go in and add links unless they want it or allow it. So you will need to follow some digital-PR steps to “convince” them to add a link to your website. Local online directories and business listings Find your local or national business directories and directories, register and add your business by adding your website ( which in most cases automatically turns into a link to your website ), write about your business […]

Or in other words, your link-building strategy. There are a couple of ways you can add links to other peoples’ websites. Since you don’t control their website but they do, then you can’t really go in and add links unless they want it or allow it. So you will need to follow some digital-PR steps to “convince” them to add a link to your website. One way to make it happen is to write an article about your own concept and then send it to online magazines and press websites ( again of high quality and relevancy ). So let’s […]

Mainly in case you don’t use a meta description, the first paragraph of the text of each page is very important. In all cases, your first paragraph should be descriptive and contain the target terms. Use correct wording and a “human” text, readable, but include the target terms of your page. Each website’s content and text can be organized into paragraphs ( like this document ) which in HTML is marked with an opening <p> and a closing </p>, each paragraph is enclosed into <p> and </p> and your web page’s first paragraph should too. Your page’s body text By […]

Apart from the front-end, obvious and visible parts of a page, there are some hidden parts on it which are called meta-data. Two common meta-data elements which are important to search engines are meta-description and meta-keywords. Both should be included in our SEO process as they are important to search engines. Meta Description Meta Description is a hidden field in which we write one – two sentences that describe this page. For instance, in our example of law services for our simple law firm, a meta description could be : We offer Criminal and Trade Law services for individuals and […]

Search engines visit your website every day, multiple times, they take each of your pages and list its url and their analysis on that page. They store this information on their database so they can propose it or not in the search results when a user searches for something relevant. Can i simply change a url? Since the urls are the main parameter via which each of your website’s pages is distinguished from the others, changing those urls will cause problems to both the search engine and your visitors. For instance, if you already have a web address like : […]

Another important “place” where we should have the target terms, is the web pages URL or more simply, its address on the internet. Each page of your website has a url which is unique, no other page has the same address. So let’s say our website is called “asimplelawfirm.com” and we have a services page, its url could be http://www.asimplelawfirm.com/services. Its a nice address, easy to remember, intuitive as users may think this is where your services will be. It is not SEO optimized though. An SEO optimized url for the services page and based on our example would be […]

In reality, nobody really knows about it, except the people you have already spoke about it to. So, one of the most common mistakes shop-owners do when they build their online stores is thinking in a way, that by opening up their store to the world with standard prices, nothing exciting, people are going to love it. That’s utterly wrong.

Each of our website’s page has a title. Its the one you see on the web browser when browsing your website. Here, you should include the target terms but at the same time, write the title in a “human” format. This title will display as the blue clickable text on the search results page of search engines. In order to correctly write an optimized title, you should keep in mind to : Include the terms on your title, as to the left of the title as possible Write the title as a sentence, in a “human” format Include your website’s […]

Search engine optimization contains two things we need to do, a set of actions that we need to do on the website and another set of actions to perform outside our website. To correctly perform the full optimization of our pages, we will need to do both steps. On-site SEO can be a one-off or less frequent update, whereas off-site SEO can be thought of as a never-ending process that we need to follow repeatedly, not frequently necessarily but repeatedly for sure. What is On-Site SEO? On-Site SEO is the group of actions we need to perform on our website. […]

When it comes to how the users search, things are pretty straightforward. Like mentioned above, a search for “t-shirts” is of a higher maybe competition than a search for “prosthetic legs” and this is due to the term’s popularity on the web, or in other words, how many more websites talk about “t-shirts” than “prothetic legs”. Another distinction than popularity can be how specific the search term is or not. A search for “t-shirts” is a broader search than “long sleeve pink t-shirt for men”. We expect less websites to talk specifically about “long sleeve pink t-shirt for men” than […]

We will propose some plugins for each of the steps but you can always choose your own plugins to carry out each of the steps of hardening. Administration username and password Administrator’s username tips Let’s start with the simple things.

Website’s structure, content quality, easy of use and user experience, loading time e.t.c. are important factors for your website’s performance on search engines. This is what we tried to optimize up to a level in on-site SEO. Now we will talk about all the actions needed for you to follow outside your website in order to help it perform better in search engines, all those actions that are considered as off-site SEO. What’s off-site SEO? When you need to find a plumber for your house, you most probably ask some friends or some neighbors. Each one proposes a different one but […]

There are quite a few reasons why your website can be vulnerable. In more general terms it has to do with how much up-to-date it is, your password level of sophistication, your web hosting environment and your behaviour. As far as your website is concerned, here is a list of the most common reasons : WordPress core Updatability WordPress as a whole regularly gets updated by its creators.

A personal opinion. These days and for some time now, a very popular method of software implementation in either mid-size or large-scale projects is the Agile methodology and SCRUM in particular. What Scrum tries to do is to simplify the process on the one hand and also boost efficiency on the other. A very specific process though, has to be followed to fully and correctly implement Scrum. More on scrum.org.

Not so long ago, not remotely just a few times, have I stumbled upon situations where the lack of technical knowledge, combined with the need for results and the strategy of sustaining an income stream, have created a, usually similar, mix of dead ends, very difficult to come out of.
