| Search Engine Optimization through
HTML Tags One
of the most important things a legitimate professional search engine optimizer
can remember to do is to have clean html coding and check all of the HTML
tags for a page and make sure that they are optimized. If you are unclear
as to what HTML is, it is the code that makes up a web page. For everything
that a web master wants to do to the appearance of a site, there is a
tag to make it work. This works also for search engine optimization.
There are many HTML tags that the search engines include into their algorithms
for inclusion into their database. There has been extensive research over
the years in the search engine optimization industry, as to the effectiveness
of keywords being placed in each respective HTML tag and which search
engines use each of them in their ranking process.

HTML tag:

Body Tags
There are many tags that the search engines take into consideration when
deciphering a websites rank. HTML Body tags are useful, how to use them,
and which ones we use for optimization.
- Heading Tags
The Heading tags are tags that specify a certain string of text on the
page is a heading. There are different variations of this tag, and they
range from heading 1 to heading 6. These tags can be used for search
engine optimization purposes to make a certain word stand out more than
others to the search engines and robots.
- No Script Tag
You place this Tag after the body starts and include text like a second
description. Some Search Engine like Google take this in the page description
and use this also like the first text from your web site. This Tag can
important your text starts very low in your HTML document.
- Image ALT Tag
There are some search engines that use the ALT tags in their algorithms
for inclusion. The ALT tags are a part of the "Image" tag
which displays an image on the web page. ALT tags are also meant to
be used for image maps. The purpose of this tag is to make the site
navigable to people who are surfing the internet with images turned
off, or when the pictures don't download. By using keywords, and a short
description you can make the ALT tags work towards your web site’s
optimization success.
- Comment Tag
This body tag is placed within the text so that web masters know where
something begins and ends within the HTML coding. That being said, the
Comment tag can be used to help your site optimize well, and to help
boost your keyword density.
- Title Tag using like Text link ALT Tag
<A HREF=”yourwebsite.htm title=”Your Link Description”>
The User effect is similar to the ALT tags the only different some search
engines reading your title description in to the link text summary can
be helpful by search engines like Google or the Teoma from Ask.com.
This Engines consider high the text link summary. Place there important
Keywords for your web site optimization.
- Table Summary tag
The table summary tag is a lot like the comment tag as it is used to
describe the table within the HTML coding. This information is not viewable
by the person viewing the web site, but is readable by the search engine
robots. This body tag can be used to boost a web sites keyword density
and for spider-food, but the importance and weight of the Table Summary
tag is not as great as others.
- Noframes Tag
Search engines and search engine robots currently read the information
and code inside of the frames tag. This means that all of the content,
links, and meta tags should be placed inside of the Noframes tag if
your web site uses frames. The best you create a small optimize web
site with all important tags and information for the search engines.
Title Tag
The Title tag is one of the most important things that you can optimize
for some search engines, and can either make or break your rankings. The
Title tag should be clear as to the pages content, while at the same time
making the user wanting to click on the link. The title should be relatively
small, and stay within a 7 to 10 word frame
Meta Keywords Tag
The Meta Keywords tag, while not as important as it used to be, still
serves a purpose and plays a role in optimization. There is also a limit
to the length, or amount of characters that can be in this tag, along
with limits to how many times each keyword can appear in the tag on each
page. Some people have been talked into putting all of their keywords
on one page, but after much research we have found this is not the road
to good rankings.
