Designing is the base of search engine optimization and it
plays a very big role in seo work for any site. The
following steps must be considered during the design process
for optimal search engine friendliness.
Here are some tips for designing an SEO friendly site: |
- Site must be user friendly and easy to navigate the
inner pages and links. Site web page contents must be
user interesting and informative according to the web
page headings.
- Keep your navigation on the left side of your web
pages. Our SEO experts at Vision Media explain, “Site
navigation should be at the left side of the web page,
so that search engine robots can easily crawl all site
inner page links.”
- Avoid using JavaScript, flash and frames on your web
pages and navigation links. Generally search engine
robots does not crawl JavaScript, flash and frames.
- If you are using images in your site header, then try
to split your image into several sections. It will help
you put more keywords in alt tags here. It will also
help you to save site load time.
- Header tags are very important for SEO work, so always
use header tags on your web pages. It will be great if
you use the h1 tag as your web page heading and it
should be kept relatively short. However, never use the
h1 tag twice on one page.
Note: H1 tag always shows in bold format and it
also take some extra spaces between the lines. So try to
adjust heading text with the css style sheet according to
the site design and look.
- As you may have heard, “content is king” on the
web, especially when it comes to seo, so the more the
better. However, make sure you put the main keywords at
the beginning of the page contents on all your
information pages.
- A VERY important point not considered by most web
designers, is to avoid unnecessary coding in the webpage
source code like P and span.
In our work, we have found an unusually high amount of
unnecessary code though, and I guarantee that if you
think your web pages do not have unnecessary code in
them, you’re probably lying to yourself. This is
largely due to the high number of websites built in
Macromedia Dreamweaver and Adobe GoLive. These programs
are notorious for inserting massive amounts of
unnecessary code, making your web pages look much
cluttered to search engine spiders. A good idea is to
have one of our SEO experts examine your web pages for
unnecessary code and make recommendations. They are
among the best in the business. You’d be truly amazed
at the impact it has on your site load time as well as
your search engine rankings.
- Lastly, try to avoid using too many tables on a web
page, as overuse of tables is not good for seo purposes.
A great alternative for using tables that web designers
rarely consider is the use of div tags.
