While Search engine optimization training sessions a lot of people have been asking me “how do i get started with the Search engine optimization” OR “how do i do my website promotion with this fast-paced internet world where you have new promotion techniques coming up daily like Rss, Blog, Podcast etc.

Do i need blogs for my site?
What do i do with RSS?

And i tell them – “Well did you go through Step 1?

Yes, before the advance SEO or website promotion you need to go through STEP 1 – Which is the basics of Search engine optimization.

Check your website’s html thoroughly, there are many things you need to check with your website.

It is important that you do a proper website analysis of your pages:

  • Is the HTML code properly formatted?
  • HTML tags properly closed, and html guidelines followed.
  • Did you give proper attention to the title and meta tags?
  • Is there any broken link / dead link in your webpage?
  • Are you following the CSS and JavaScript guidelines properly?
  • Is the junk in your webpage taken care of and the code kept clean?

So, it is important – If you did not do the STEP 1 properly, the efforts of STEP 2 will not give you all the benefits?!
