SEO Today, What does mean for the website

The disturbing news of SEO not working really as well as it used to surrounds the horizon of the web. Just yesterday, the guys of the same block were discussing the news on SEO. Some were worried but some said it’s still working to them.

Too much is happening to fast. Last year we saw too many things happening within a short span of time. We saw the old school SEO diminishing from the scene. We also saw back links lose some weight, especially the ones that were not gained organically or naturally. We saw that content remain to rule the horizon, but the tile of the search engine really went toward the original, quality content that is shared, read and liked by the web visitors. We have also seen that being social has gained importance.

The content that socially buzzed or tweeted, the content that is liked and socially shared and is commented upon get more push on the search engines.

This tells us that SEO still lives. Things have gone tougher and now it is hard to get the ball rolling like the optimizers used to previously. Some of the SEO gurus were also been discussing how to push through and get the desired results. Evil minds eh.

Search Engine Optimization is a serious game now. Though, structuring your website for the search engines, making them search engine friendly, Meta Tag Optimization and building the SEO purpose description tag, still hold its ground, we must change the way in which we structure our web content. The web site content that the web visitors would read when they arrive at our website. It must be build with the intent to satisfy the web visitor’s interest on the website. It must satisfy their intent; it must also trigger the search engines to reply to intent based search query being keyed in by the website visitor.

With the SEO game tilting more towards the web users rather than the search engines. The optimizers must change the way they used to handle SEO.

SEO –beyond the Meta Tags


SEO elements take up most of our concentration when we put efforts to make our websites search engine friendly. The On Page Elements extend beyond the Meta Title Tag, the Meta Descriptions Tag, the URL structure and the image optimization. We are, today, going to study an onsite SEO element that helps a great deal in search engine optimization.

Heading – (H1 to H6) Tags

We know that creative content has a big role to play. Neatly paragraphed text on the web page looks similar and uninteresting to the readers if the type style, fonts, sizes and color or the text are all the same. We also know that seldom few people read through the entire web page content. We need to mark the lines according to their importance; this will gives us two (2) benefits:


  • The website visitors can read through the important lines and decide whether to read further or not
  • The search engines crawl to index and read through the important areas of the text. 


The H1 tag has its own importance. The characteristic of the written text, whether we are writing for the magazine or the newspaper, the people look for the headlines, these are generally the H1 tags in the terms of SEO.

H2, H3 to H6 are categorized with the level of importance these heading get from the search engines. Optimized H1 tags play a vital role. While building the script and while deciding upon the H1 tag, do consider the use of relevant keywords, so that the page being optimized gets its desired position on the search engines.

Google SEO best practice guide, guides us through the SEO science. About <H> tags it says, “Heading tags (not to be confused with the <head> HTML tag or HTTP headers) are used to present structure on the page to users. There are six sizes of heading tags, beginning with <h1>, the most important, and ending with <h6>, the least important.

Since heading tags typically make text contained in them larger than normal text on the page, this is a visual cue to users that this text is important and could help them understand something about the type of content underneath the heading text. Multiple heading sizes used in order create a hierarchical structure for your content, making it easier for users to navigate through your document.”
