Optimize Page Speed

The page speed of your site is as important as its content; a slow loading page turns off users. How would you feel to see your target audience ignore you after putting together great content on your site?

Besides, we are in an era where impatience has become the order of the day; people want to do things on the go. If your website doesn’t load in few seconds, they'll click away and go to the next site.

Statistics have revealed that most users close a page if it doesn’t load in a maximum of 3 seconds. This implies that if your website doesn’t load within 3 seconds, you can lose potential customers.

Google places great significance on page speed; slow-loading pages do not rank well on Google. As a rule, always build your site with fast-loading themes to avoid losing visitors, especially the impatient ones.

SEM

The result of SEO doesn’t start manifesting overnight – it takes a whole lot of time. There are several dynamics that impact site ranking on Google, plus lots of hard work and commitment.

But you can drive immediate traffic to your sites using SEM; e.g. Google Adwords. Using SEM shouldn’t in any way replace SEO; both should complement each other. While SEM gives immediate results, SEO takes a while, but the result is long-term.

Maintain the Spark

Do not be too static with your content; add some varieties to make it always appealing. Do not just limit your blog post; spice it up with downloadable videos, informative infographics, and company videos.

Google favors sites that have a lot of varieties and original graphics over the one-dimensional blog. Sites with assorted content also keep the visitors amused.

Good info. I need backlinks. I also need to check page speed.

Do you use the AIO plugin? I love the new one, offering an SEO score and telling you how it was reached. The items in red in each category give you an idea what needs changing or improving. Since getting the updated AIO, my SEO ratings are usually between 85 to 97. The one thing that seems to be a problem for me is using passive voice; I do it too often and lose points because of it. I think that plugin really helps me improve my writing.

That's awesome, FKelso! I'm also on the AIO SEO pack plugin as we speak and can testify to the good things you've said about the awesome tool.

There's no doubt about it; improving readability scores with AIO SEO Pack is now feasible. And in addtion to that, the plugin is lightweight and can help you score very high in pagespeed insights. Isn't that awesome? Thanks again!

Well, have had a breakthrough. I was uncertain as to what passive voice was (just gave two examples in this sentence.) Went to my Writer's Group on Friday morning. We read a piece of our writing to the group each week, and then everyone comments. I asked specifically for help in identifying passive voice on my last story...As that's my only SEO "error" noted by the plugin, now I'll go back and change most of them and see if I can get the rating up to 100%. Helpful! Forced me to learn something new.
