Top 5 Tips for Raising Your Website Ranking
Written by Ian Shield

With the advent of regularly changing search engine algorithms, it is essential to keep in touch with latest trends to prevent your website from dropping down a search engine’s page rankings.

You may have a great website template with apps galore and a fully integrated blog, but none of these matter if your website is on page 10. Most Internet users want to find information fast, minimizing their search time to reach the requested information as quickly as possible. In this regard, it becomes a top priority to ensure your information is presented on page one of the search enquiry. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to achieve consistently high page-ranking results for your website.

1. Quality
Current search engines weed out poorly written website content in favor of quality. Taken from the point of the Internet user, a person does not want to wade through pages of badly composed information before finding your site. In response to this problem, search engines rank information quality as a high priority. Make sure all the content on your website provides well-constructed prose presented in a format that appears informative and structured. Avoid producing fragmented sentences or paragraphs stuffed with keywords.

2. Articles
Creating a section on your website that provides informative articles can help distinguish your site as a premier website and raise your page ranking. Your article section should provide high-quality written prose that complements your website content. Instructional articles for your product range, for example, or educational articles that provide insight into your causes and interests, prove to be both useful to your potential online traffic and rank highly with search engines. Original written work ranks far higher than articles containing duplicate content from elsewhere on the Internet. Use professional freelance copywriters to write engaging and informative search-engine-optimized content if you do not have strong writing skills.

3. Keywords
Avoid keyword stuffing at all costs to prevent your website ranking from plummeting. If your page content contains more than three percent of keywords, then rewrite the content. Use two- and three-word phrases as your keywords in order to match the natural style of searches entered into search engines by Internet users.

4. Images
A search engine crawler takes website images into consideration for ranking purposes, so it is important to maximize the extra points you can receive by placing images on your website. Make sure you combine text with the image because the combination raises your ranking. Write original image text that is not duplicated anywhere else on the website page.

5. Social Networking Links
Social networking sites are a useful tool to increase your website ranking. Search engines currently rank the affirmation of your website from clicks by social networking sites as positive confirmation of your website’s usefulness. Place approval links to Twitter and Facebook on your site at the end of content articles to build traffic and increase your page ranking.

The dynamism of search engine algorithms means that you need to keep up with current SEO thinking to ensure your website receives the page ranking that you want to achieve. Using a combination of top tips to create a balanced structure to your website to reflect contemporary design and user expectations will enable the search engine crawlers to rank your website pages in the upper echelon.
