The best tip to get better ranking on Search Engines without too much hassle is to write good content.
Yes, I know I repeated myself before but this entry focuses solely on this very topic. Why do I tell you to write good content on your forums and your site and not only rely on plugins like minervaSEO? That’s because this is what is going to rank you. People uses the Internet as a tool and when they search for something, they will want to find it and it should get to the point. I.E. Wouldn’t you be pissed off if you search for something and the first link that comes up is full of junk? …Exactly my point…
And not so long ago I read a book (seobook, and still reading…) they said that search engines monitor how fast you click the back link to the originating search engine to check another link. This means that if you ranked up really high on a search query because of SEO tools that flourishes your keyword up and people don’t like the content they are reading they would press the “back” button and look at something else. And that action pulls you down the ranking more and more until you are not on the first page anymore as your content is not relevant enough. So the only way to get yourself up the ranking is to write quality content.
For example one of my articles on the skin design of IPB ranks very well on anything related to skinning, template design, etc… for IPB. why? that is because I wrote a good guide.
And as you wrote a good guide the person who has read it, would have bookmarked it. Like I do most of the time. Or even better submit your entry to digg.com or stumbleupon and you can sure bet that you would get a few to a hundred visitors.
The point being is that you cannot get high on the ranking with only an SEO module, plugin or hack as you will be penalized for not having relevant content.
Good advice and so true. Thanks!
Simple, isn’t it? If you spend a decent amount of time researching, crafting, and editing content you can come up with an article that is interesting, readable, and compelling. SEO isn’t rocket science, but writing good articles does take time and effort.
That doesn’t seem right to me… The whole purpose of the back button is to go… well… back, immediately. In order to make it instantaneously, the back button just loads from the cache. The search engine wouldn’t receive another request, and would have no idea if the user clicked the back button.
Anyways, whether or not the search engine & the back button part are true, it is always a good idea to write quality content. It keeps people coming back, and generates links.
well the concept is when you click back and click a new link on that same search session it depermines the time period from the first website to the other. For example if I clicked on icelabz.net for a search query on forum design and then i find that this page is not what i am lookin for i go back (by pressing the back button) and click the second link (which is for example icelabz2.com) and on that 1 I find content related to my query so google checks the time you clicked on the first to the second link. If it seems that the time period is really short between it then it penalise that first site’s page which is icelabz.net and then rewards icelabz2.com.
and to determine which one is more relevant is the last link you clicked on from that search session.
In that case, I’m harming several sites’ rankings. I always open up around 5 of the results in separate tabs, and then just close the tab if it’s not relevant.
Also, now that I think about it… If you visit a site, hit back, and click a new link, how does Google for example even know you clicked the link? All the search results’ links are direct to the webpage. They don’t link to an internal google page to record the click, and then redirect you.
click and hold on a link and look at the bottom left corner of your browser and you would see its just a javascript call
or just disable javascript on your browser temporarily to see it
