Keyword is a word that is used for searching through Search Engines in order to get results related to your searched query.

10. What is Keyword Density?

Keyword density is the percentage density of a keyword or phrase available on a webpage compared to the total number of words on the page. It is one of the important ranking factors for search engines to display a webpage on the SERP. Providing junk keywords on a page would decrease the ranking of a webpage.

15. What is Meta Title?

Title is the most important factors for a good SEO of a webpage. These tags should be located within head section. These tags should tell some useful information about that page. A good title tag should contain 60 characters. These titles would appear on the SERP for your website along with the Meta description of that page. Google won't penalize your page if it contains title with more than 60 characters and it skips the remaining characters. If a web page doesn't contain title tag means Google would select the H1 tag as title or it will provide the title by its own.
Always write title tag for the page and not for SEO, if you stuff keywords in you title then Google won't rank your webpage.

A description tag should describe a webpage and it should contain keywords but don't stuff all the keywords. Meaningless description would affect your webpage. A description tag should contain 150 – 160 characters. If you provide meaningless or empty description, Google would take the description from the content available in that page.

In early days Meta keywords are the least important tag for Search engine like Google. But it is an easy way to tell our important keywords to search engine. Meta keywords should contain less than 250 characters.
Now Google won't consider Meta keywords as one of the ranking factor.

21. Difference between keyword & keyword phrase?

The keyword term is basically concerned with a one-word term, on the other hand a keyword phrase considered as employment of two or more word-combinations. Therefore, it is very confounded to get high ranking in account of one-word keyword term until the one-word keyword has little online competition. Therefore, this practice is not encouraged to employ. In order to drive more traffic and top ranking in SERP it is recommended to employ keyword phrase.

22. What is the difference between search engine marketing and Internet marketing?

Search Engine Marketing is specific to marketing your brand/service/products through search engines. It can be in the form of organic search results where landing pages are aimed for higher ranking, or in paid search results, where ads are aimed to display at maximum exposure for targeted keywords at minimal cost possible.

The search engines might treat these url as different and may divide the link juice gained by having various backlinks made with any of these 3 urls. The link juice gets divided between these three urls equally. .htacess file is created to have a single url of the home page so that the link juice is passed onto single url.

GoogleWebMasterCentral.Blogspot.com,
InsideSearch.Blogspot.com and
Search Engine Roundtable are a few good ones. There are actually a lot more.

Frequently adding new, original and quality content on the website.

28. I noticed that you don’t do a 301 redirect on your site from the non-www to the www version, Matt. Why not? Are you stupid in the head?

Actually, it’s on purpose. I noticed that several months ago but decided not to change it on my end or ask anyone at Google to fix it. I may add a 301 eventually, but for now it’s a helpful test case.

29. What is the difference between Indexing and Crawling?

1) When the Search Engines come to your website and read the data or find the data, this process is called crawling.

2) Whenever Search Engines come to your website, whichever page they crawl, they take a copy of that page with them and save it on their server. This process is done by the search engine is called Indexing

30. Is there a way we can tell Google that a particular webpage contains the Adult content?
Yes, we can do it by adding one of these two meta tags to that webpage
<meta name="rating" content="adult" /> OR
<meta name="rating" content="RTA-5042-1996-1400-1577-RTA" />

31. What is Pagination in SEO?

Pagination is the practice of dividing a piece of content into different pages while at the same time allowing Google to better understand the important pages to be indexed. Read the Google's advice on using the pagination.

While I do not expect Google’s textbook answer,, I am hoping the candidate understands the basic concept behind QS (clickthrough rate + other factors) and that QS is part of the Ad Rank formula where:

Ad Rank = CPC bid X Quality Score.

Their ability to explain Quality Score and Ad Rank to me in plain English is something I pay very close attention to.

Quality Score for Google and the search network is a dynamic metric assigned to each of your keywords. It’s calculated using a variety of factors and measures how relevant your keyword is to your ad group and to a user’s search query. The higher a keyword’s Quality Score, the lower its cost-per-clicks (CPCs) and the better its ad position.

■Target your ads to right audience

1. How much does SEO cost? How can you get more for your money?
If you want to succeed with your website, you have to decide how much you will spend on search engine optimization. As SEO is crucial to survive the fierce online competition, the question is not if you should invest in SEO but how much you invest. SEO can be very expensive. How can you get more for your money?
the
How much do SEO companies charge?
If you decide to hire an SEO agency, there are several pricing models:
1. Hourly consulting: the average SEO agency (or individual) charges between $100 and $300 per hour (all amounts in US$).
2. Fixed prices: businesses that are new to SEO often buy services at fixed prices. This can be a website content audit (usually $500-$7,500), link profile audits ($500-$7,500) or SEO copywriting ($0.10-$0.50 per word).
3. Monthly retainer: the most popular pricing model is a monthly payment. On average, SEO agencies and individuals charge $750-5,000 per month. Depending on how much you pay, you can expect different services: regular analytics reports, on-site optimization, link building, keyword research, etc.

Some offshore companies offer 'SEO' services for much lower prices ($100-$500/month). In general, you can be sure that these services use spam techniques to 'promote' your website and that these services will backfire on you.

If an SEO service is too cheap, it's likely that they use risky methods. That's a lesson that many businesses had to learn in the past.

How to get more for your money
Many things that SEO agencies do for you can be automated with the right tools. For example, our web-based SEO tool SEOprofiler can do the following for you:
  • Regular website audits: the website audit tool in SEOprofiler automatically checks the content of your web pages and it shows you all the errors that should be corrected.

  • Regular link profiler audits: the link profiler tool in SEOprofiler shows you the backlink structure of your website. It also shows the backlinks that could have a negative influence on the rankings of your web pages.

  • Regular analytics reports: use the scheduler in SEOprofiler to automatically get website analytics reports by email. You can also view your reports online and you get access to all important key metrics.

  • On-site optimization: the Top 10 Optimizer tool in SEOprofiler analyzes the content of your web pages.

  • Regular position checks: the ranking monitor in SEOprofiler checks the position of your web pages on Google, Bing and Yahoo. You can specify the exact city from which the rankings should be checked. The ranking monitor informs you about dramatic ranking changes, it shows easy ranking opportunities, and much more.
Instead of the $2,500 that the average client pays his SEO agency for these services, you can get all of this for a much lower price with SEOprofiler, which is a do-it-yourself SEO tool.

Even if you only use the fully-automated reporting tools in SEOprofiler, you will save a lot of money. If you use all tools in SEOprofiler, you will save even more.
Should you hire an SEO agency or should use use a do-it-yourself tool?
This depends on your needs. If you have the money, hiring an SEO agency or an SEO professional can be a good solution. To get results, you should invest at least $2500 per month. If you pay less, you'll only get automated reports.

If you can invest some time in your website, a do-it-yourself SEO tool can help you to save a lot of money. For example, SEOprofiler creates the same reports that you will get from a professional SEO agency - for a fraction of the costs. You can even use SEOprofiler to offer your own SEO services.
       Search engine optimization takes time. SEO is a long-term investment. You will get     the best results if you regularly work on your web pages. The tools in SEOprofiler can help you to do that as efficiently as possible. If you haven't done it yet, try SEOprofiler now: source : http://www.free-seo-news.com

1. Four steps: how to improve the rankings of your website with competitive backlink analysis



Optimizing the backlink structure of your website can have a big impact on the rankings of your web pages. As it is difficult to obtain good backlinks, it often makes sense to benefit from the work of your competitors.
benefit from your competitors
Step 1: check the basics
Before you work on the links that point to your website, you should make sure that your web pages are ready for high rankings.

Without a good website, it will be difficult to get good backlinks. The web pages of your website must be relevant to the keywords for which you want to get high rankings. Otherwise, you won't get high rankings for the right keywords. Use the Top 10 Optimizer to make your web pages relevant to your keywords.

In addition, search engine robots must be able to parse the content of your pages. Technical errors on your web pages can be the reason why search engines don't show your pages. You can use the website audit tool to check your web pages for technical errors.
Step 2: identify the top sites of the industry
Search Google for the top 5 keywords that are related to your business and check the websites that are listed for these keywords on the first results page.
Most likely there will be 5-8 websites that appear for all of these keywords on the first results page. These are the top sites that you will use in step 3.
Step 3: find the most important links of the top sites
Use the link building tools in SEOprofiler to find the most important links that point to the top sites. For example, the hub finder tool will show you the websites that link to more than just one of the top sites.

The link profiler tool shows you the quality of the links that point to the top sites. The higher the Link Influence Score (LIS), the higher is the importance of the linking site.

These linking websites have a major influence on the rankings of the top sites. Even if you only manage to get links from some of the websites, your web page rankings will improve dramatically.
Step 4: try to get listed on these linking websites
The last step is the most important part. Find a way to get a link from these important sites. Sometimes its enough to ask (nicely). Sometimes it's more difficult.

Be creative. Some websites will link to your site if you offer something in return, others will link to you if you help them to solve a problem. There are many legitimate ways to get a link from a website.

Even if only some of the top sites decide to link to your site, it is extremely likely that your rankings will improve remarkably.
The top ranked sites already identified the important pages that should link to your site. Benefit from the work of your competitors and try to get links from these pages. The tools in SEOprofiler help you to do this as efficiently as possible.
