Let’s have a look at some of the SEO questions asked
1. What does SEO stand for
SEO stands for search engine optimization.
2. What’s the difference between organic vs. paid results
Organic results are the results that come by performing manual SEO* i.e. building an authority in the eyes of search engines and then getting the output whereas Paid results are when you initiate the campaign through some budget, possible examples are Google Adwords.
3. What are Meta descriptions and do they still matter
A Meta description is a Meta tag used in the head of the code that is basically shown in the search engine results to user. It still matters a lot as more the compelling statements you write, the better will be the CTR (Click through Rate) for the website.
4. Should I optimize my domain name to include keywords
The primary domain should not be having any keywords as it’s not good for the overall optimization process and will hurt your site badly because of the EMD (Exact Match Domain) as well. So, it’s good to have the keywords separate from the primary domain.
5. How do I know when I’m using the right number of keywords on a page
You simply can’t give a number for that because it’s not the right way to strategize your SEO campaign on the number of keywords on a page. Neither, there should be a target set for Keyword Density, your content should always be user centric and should focus on terms like user friendliness and readability so that the user benefit and thus will result in a healthy SEO campaign.
6. What’s the difference between internal and inbound links
Internal links are the links on your website that take the user from one page to another page via an anchor tag whereas Inbound links are the links coming from other website’s to your website.
7. How many internal links do I need on each page of content
There aren’t any minimum or maximum number of internal links defined anywhere but your web page should have only desired number of links that help user navigate through the different pages.
8. Do I need to know code to do SEO myself
You do not require a thorough understanding of the code to do the SEO at the basic level but at the advanced level you need to have the basic understanding of HTML.
9. What is robots.txt
A robots file allows you to allow or disallow a particular search engine to crawl the website. This file lies in the root directory of the website.
10. What is the sitemap.xml file
A sitemap.xml file helps the search engines to quickly crawl your website and understand the navigation and structure of the website, i.e. a quick reference or an index for your site.
11. What is the difference between indexed and crawling
Search engines crawl through the content of the website and index them according to certain guidelines and relevancy needs of the user. It is not necessary that search engines index every part of your web page, certain things that do not get crawled at all are iframes, JS and more.
12. How can I see what pages are indexed
Just type in site:www.DOMAINNAME.com in the search box and hit enter, you will get to see the number of pages indexed right at the top.
13. Why do you need alt text on your images
The search engine bots are text only readers, they cannot see images, and therefore the ALT text comes into the picture by giving a reference to what the image is all about. Important keywords can be used in the ALT text to enhance the SEO campaign.
14. How long does it take to see results from SEO
