We are using seo tools found at http://xtreammembers.com/seo.html in class and then the attendees will download and use the webceo desktop seo tool outside of the webinar.

Thursday we focused on seeing where our websites rank. We used the page rank analyzer http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/keyword-position.html as a quick look into our placement in three search engines: Google, Yahoo, and Live.

We then asked the question:

Is my webpage search engine friendly?

To find out the answer, we used a free online seo meta tag analyzer, http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html

This tool looks at four main elements: Title, Description, Keywords, and Author and in another section analyzes keyword density and then the number of urls listed on the page itself. It gives you a good, solid, platform in which to use to get your site search engine friendly. Webceo gives you an even more indepth look at your webpage and gives even more detailed suggestions.

After looking at whether our overall website was considered search engine friendly, we then looked at whether or not our web sites where actually optimized for the key word or key words we where in fact targeting. For this we used http://www.seocentro.com/tools/seo/page-keyword-analyzer.html.

This free seo tool reports on 5 main elements: title, description, first H tag, body, domain name. Many of us found that we do not have the H tag. Most scripts as well as web design pages do not use H tags, so you have to manually add those yourselves. This is very easy to do by simply going into your cpanel and opening the html editor for whatever page it is you need to add the code to. The H code you need to add below the head tag and the title tag in the html of your webpage is found at http://xtreammembers.com/seo.html as that code interfers with this blog post.

While you are at it, you might as well add in these additional tags also. To get those tags please go to http://xtreammembers.com/seo.html as that code interfers with this blog post.

As Vern pointed out in session, if you are in the practice of updating your website frequently, you can in fact change the Revisit-after to a smaller interval. On the flip side, if you do NOT make frequent changes, you may want to bump that number up.

Note to those using the Amcs traffic exchange scripts, pt-scripts, and possibly other scripts as well. You will find that these scripts do not properly configure the meta tags. I have a support question into Glen at Amcs on this. You can, however, add the H1 tag through Admin by going to your Front Page and adding in the code listed above. On the pt-scripts we will have to figure that out on our own as there is no longer anyone home for support on these.

Next week we continue the webinar series with a look to see the tweaks our webmasters made to their websites and then with Dave Williams presenting some additional tweaks and adjustments webmasters can make to their websites that really do work well.

This live webinar is open to the public and any webmaster is welcome to join us. Please get the webinar software and other information from our Xtream webinar schedule website http://xtreammembers.com/schedule.html. Looking forward to seeing YOU there!
