Many webmasters question why their domain was kicked out of Google – this is because of improper SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Guides are posted all over the internet, notice I said guides, no adjective to describe which kinds. Many many many blogs/forums/wikis are posted giving you the ‘magic seo tricks’. The fact is, there is no magic “learn it in 5 second and be #1 in Google” trick. It is a long and hard process. Think of ranking on Google as digging. You need to push harder when you think you have done your best. Google is accesible wherever internet is available, and is such a handy word that everyone uses it. Behind that is a team working to better search results. So if you follow some (unnamed) guides and put thousands of keywords in your footer, you will most likely be kicked off Google.
The real guide to SEO is:
- Analyze your keywords
- Add meta tags to every page
- Have good quality content (a fine line between content and just plain keywords – this is the hardest part as well)
- understand your website (many don’t) and give it time
Just remember – don’t believe everything you read online. Make sure what you choose to use is true and actual. If it seems too good to be true, you can bet your tail it is.
