History of SEO
- 2. • The early days of search engine optimization go back to mid-1990s. The most important aspect of a search engine algorithm appeared to be entirely ―on- pageǁ based and was focused almost exclusively around meta tags and their related text. • During the late 1990s, ethical SEOs and spammers alike realized that search engine results could be manipulated by the simple process of adjusting a site‘s meta tags to match the desired keywords. Google‘s arrival in 1998 and the introduction of its ―off-pageǁ, link based, approach signaled the beginning of the end for the exclusively meta tag driven approach. • Because of link spamming, Google introduced Domain Relevance and authority Types of SEO ● Whitre hat ● Black Hat ● Grey Hat Things to avoid in SEO?(Black Hat) ● Keyword Stuffing : Keyword stuffing is the technique of excessively using lots of keywords with express intention of influencing the search engines. ● Cloaking : Cloaking is the technique whereby the web site visible to a site visitor is entirely different from that seen by a search engine spider. ● Doorway Sites : A doorway site is a site that acts as a referring page for another site. The doorway page is highly optimized and contains hidden links and keywords. The doorway site then climbs search engine rankings but redirects all of its traffic to the target and perhaps poorly optimized site ● Link Spamming : In many respects, due to the increasing influence of links, it is inevitable that link spamming would become an issue. Spamming of links has been a growing problem as many people have realized the importance that Google, in particular, places on links. As a significant issue it raised its head in April 2005 when Google‘s new release appeared to ban one of the leading SEO firms from its rankings.

Types of SEO Techniques On Page SEO & Off Page SEO • On-page SEO is the practice of optimizing individual web pages in order to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. On-page refers to both the content and HTML source code of a page that can be optimized, as opposed to off-page SEO which refers to links and other external signals.

This task is performed by a software called a crawler or a spider (or Googlebot, in case of Google). • Indexing- Process of creating index for all the fetched web pages and keeping them into a giant database from where it can later be retrieved. Essentially, the process of indexing is identifying the words and expressions that best describe the page and assigning the page to particular keywords. • Processing- When a search request comes, the search engine processes it, i.e., it compares the search string in the search request with the indexed pages in the database. • Calculating Relevancy- It is likely that more than one page contains the search string, so the search engine starts calculating the relevancy of each of the pages in its index to the search string. • Retrieving Results- The last step in search engine activities is retrieving the best matched results. Basically, it is nothing more than simply displaying them in the browser. Search Engine Ranking • Search Engine Rank When you search any keyword using a search engine, it displays thousands of results found in its database. A page ranking is measured by the position of web pages

How are your products or services differentiated? What are the real strengths of your business compared to your closest competitors? • Competition : Try to find words or phrases that appear ignored or underutilized by your competitors. An alternative but higher risk approach is to see what keywords are used by competitor sites and then attempt to outmaneuver them by better use of links, content and meta tags. • Relevance : The keyword terms you select must be relevant, salient and part of the vocabulary used by the audience you are seeking to attract. If the target audience is a consumer one s/he is unlikely to use jargon. The opposite may be true if you are seeking B2B prospects.

- 14. • Creating the sitemap is not too complicated. Basically, for each URL you list in your sitemap, you can add additional information about images on that page. Google gives us an example for the URLhttp://example.co.uk/sample.xml: • Sitemap structure <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> <url> <loc>http://www.example.com/</loc> <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod> < changefreq>monthly</changefreq> <priority>0.8</priority> </url> </urlset> • <urlset> : Encapsulates the file and references the current protocol standard. • <url> : Parent tag for each URL entry. The remaining tags are children of this tag. • <loc> : URL of the page. This URLmust begin with the protocol (such as http) and end with a trailing slash, if your web server requires it. This value must be less than 2,048 characters. • <lastmod > optional The date of last modification of the file. This date should be in W3C Datetime format. This format allows you to omit the time portion, if desired, and use YYYY-MM-DD. • <changefreq> : How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are: • always • hourly • daily • weekly • monthly • yearly • never • <priority> : The priority of this URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This value does not affect how your pages are compared to pages on other sites—it only lets the search engines know which pages you deem most important for the crawlers. • The default priority of a page is 0.5. • Please note that the priority you assign to a page is not likely to influence the position of your URLs in a search engine's result pages. Search engines may use this information when selecting between URLs on the same site, so you can use this tag to increase the likelihood that your most important pages are present in a search index.

You can specify the type of item using the itemtype attribute immediately after the itemscope ● This specifies that the item contained in the div is in fact a Movie, as defined in the schema.org type hierarchy. Item types are provided as URLs, in this case http://schema.org/Movie. <div itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Offer"> <span itemprop="name">Blend-O-Matic</span> <span itemprop="price">$19.95</span> <div itemprop="reviews" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating"> <img src="four-stars.jpg" /> <meta itemprop="ratingValue" content="4" /> <meta itemprop="bestRating" content="5" /> Based on <span itemprop="ratingCount">25</span> </div> </div> user ratings Example (JSON-ld) <script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org",

This shared context allows the individuals to use shortcut terms, like the first name of a mutual friend, to communicate more quickly but without losing accuracy. A context in JSON-LD works in the same way. It allows two applications to use shortcut terms to communicate with one another more efficiently, but without losing accuracy.
