While you may hear a lot of advice about Website Optimization, Internet Marketing and/or Search Engine Optimization, it’s always favorable to start from the very beginning when you are developing your website.

The first 5 things you should consider for optimization of your website are:

1) DOMAIN NAME: The first thing to be considered for your website is the domain name. The domain name should highlight the name and the premise of the business. It’s always good to have the business’ specific keywords in the domain. That is not required but from an SEO point of view it’s suggested.

2) KEYWORDS FINALIZATION: Choose keywords exclusive to your business. They should be completely in accordance with the business and should depict exact information about the business. The relevant keywords are the major source of information for the search engine spiders and tell search engine bots about the concept of the page.

3) META TAGS DEVELOPMENT: Use proper keywords in the Meta Title, Meta Description & Meta Keywords. The appropriate meta tags provide the information to the search engine bots, and therefore are helpful in crawling the website and getting the website relevant traffic.

4) ANCHOR TEXTS: Anchor texts are vital text-links which provide connectivity to the website. Anchor text has its relevant importance in the search engine listings and provides a valuable source for the page content. Put anchor text at the correct locations on the webpage, but keep in mind that there should not be too many anchor texts to  be considered SPM by Google.

5) FOOTER LINKS: Footer links should also be considered as the major SEO consideration for the optimization of the website.
