Optimizing Intuit Website

September 3rd, 2010 | Author: youngmon

You may not be familiar with the term search engine optimization (SEO). The biggest slip you can make is to build your Intuit website without studying about how to optimise your Sitebuilder pages. This topic holds the key to your Homestead web site being a success.

Why is SEO authoritative?

The Homestead design does not automatically get traffic to your site. You have to do things correctly in order for Google, Bing and Yahoo to like your pages.

By making particular titles,links etc. on and off your web site pages appealing to search engines, your business or by-line site might get top placements on the first couple of results pages. I’ve been placing websites in the top ten positions for several years now. The video below reveals some of the achievements you can accomplish if you get your “on page” content, codes, titles, meta descriptions and links in the proper order.

Once you study the SEO Extreme Video Series on how to implement these crucial steps properly and apply them to your Intuit website, you have to be patient with the search engines. Attracting free traffic to increase your Intuit sites visitors is very much dependent upon what a search engine (SE) does with all of the information that you have provided for them to sift through. It is possible that it could take a few months or just a couple of weeks to cause a web page to move higher in the results. Other times it may only take one-to-two days for the pages to move. If your website niche has many competitors you will need to get very educated on how to select the proper keyword phrases to focus in on.

Here are a few pointers on Intuit website SEO :

Get the header codes right on your pages by adding special (copy & paste) HTML codes
publish no less than 500 words on a page
Configure the internal linking structure correctly
Get other website to link to you
Title must have the correct words in it
The descriptions of your pages need to all be unique
Some pages should be NOFOLLOW (a way to hide them from the search engines).

The fastest way to learn SEO for the Homestead site builder is by purchasing these tutorials on Intuit website SEO.

They will give you all of the information you need in order for Google, Yahoo and Bing to give you more favor in the results .

Now, you are going to need to be patient. The results of your efforts do not always appear instantly in the search engine results pages (SERPS). First Google has to index your business or hobby website by sending what is known as a spider (bot) to crawl around on your pages.

Get it? Spiders crawl on the web. Until they do this, you will not be entered into the SERPS. This can take a day or a month. You are at the mercy of the search engines.

The key to getting top rankings is to monitor the results of your efforts and make subtle changes.

How can I view how much traffic my site is getting?

In your websites main account, not the Sitebuilder, you will find the Real Tracker statistics that will tell you how someone found your website . You can analyze the keyword phrase that they found you with and also get information about what search engine sent them to your Ituit website pages.

It is very possible to have several we pages that are in the first five positions in oc several different search engines when you first get indexed. By targeting those individual pages and keyword phrases, through adding more back links , you can cause your ranking positions to change for the better . This is a very small part of doing SEO correctly on an Intuit website . You must learn what to do within of the Sitebuilder first. Unfortunatley, this is something that is rarely found for free.

The Waiting Game

abruptly your rankings will move up and you will get more traffic . Just this past month one of my Intuit websites changed from enjoying eighty visits per month to three hundred and sixty hits per month . I also had another traffic increase from having fifty five (55) visitors a day to over a hundred and twenty three (23) a day on one single page.

Tip: Increases in traffic will happen as you purpose to make changes to your Intuit pages. As you add certain keywords to your Intuit pages, build external links and fine-tune certain things inside the web builder, your website will start getting more visitors . In short, this is what SEO is all about, getting more out of your site through increased visits

So, if you’re just starting to learn how to build a website with the Intuit SiteBuilder, learn search engine optimization from the SEO Extreme video series found at http://www.homesteadusers.com, implement the advanced techniques and give it a little time. If you set a goal to be persistent in your efforts, eventually you will reap the rewards of your labor.
