Thread: On Page SEO

When building your website you should always consider the links within your pages, a good navigation will help search engines navigate your site and get more pages indexed.

Try and only have important links on your page and if you do have to have links to less important pages for visitors then use this attribute on your links tags:

Code:

rel="nofollow"

This attribute stops search engines from crawling these links which in turn also lowers outbound links on your page.

Another tip for optimizing links on your page is to use keywords that are relevant within links, here's an example of good and bad link keywords for a site related to cars:

BAD

Code:

<a href="/carLinks.html">Links related to cars</a>

GOOD

Code:

<a title="Car Links" href="/car-links.html">Car Links</a>

You'll notice in the above examples the better example has a file name that is related to the content and keyword, this allows search engines to be sure that the content is related to "car links" and your page is more likely to be higher in a search engine for "car links".

This is very important when building pages to rank for keywords.

On page SEO is the process of optimizing the content of your website. This includes the text, images and links on your website. Anything uploaded to your site's domain is considered on page.
