Do On-Page SEO Factors Really Matter?
Exploring SEO Through the Years
Imagine we're stepping into an internet time machine, traveling back to the year 2000. In the fast-paced world of the internet, that feels like a century ago. As an SEO expert from that era, you're penning a book on climbing the search engine ranks. What would be your focus?
The Evolution of SEO Practices
Back then, meta tags were fading out, and while links were useful, they weren't the core focus. Instead, you’d concentrate on keyword density. You’d advise that to rank highly for specific terms, those keywords should appear in your title, at the top of your page, in multiple sections, and saturate your content.
Reflecting on the Past
Remember the days when keyword density was crucial? Fast forward to late 2006, and keyword density is considered obsolete. In fact, the role of content on your webpage becomes questionable compared to the emphasis on links.
Famous Examples: A Deep Dive
Consider this: type "failure" into Google, and the top result was once President George W. Bush's biography page, which didn't contain the word "failure" even once. Similarly, searching for "waffles" led to John Kerry's website, which didn’t mention "waffles" either.
The Power of Anchor Text
How did this happen? The reason is anchor text. This was due to a practice known as GoogleBombing, where numerous websites linked to these pages with those words.
Shifting Focus to Links
So, what does this teach us? The priority should shift from obsessing over perfect on-page optimization to focusing on the text used in links pointing to your site.
The Continued Importance of Content
While including your target keywords in your tags and content is beneficial, adhering to specific keyword densities can be counterproductive. Search engines can penalize sites that appear over-optimized. Instead, write naturally?"this is what search engines favor.
Optimizing Anchor Text
Ensure the links directing to your site clearly communicate its content. Instead of "click here," use descriptive anchor text relevant to your site, like "widgets."
A Lighthearted GoogleBombing Example
Before wrapping up, here’s a classic example of GoogleBombing for a chuckle. Type "French military victories" into Google and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky." Explore the humorous "French military defeats" link for a moment of levity.
In conclusion, balance your on-page content wisely, but remember, what others say about you in links can be equally, if not more, impactful.
