21 SEO Tips 2012 for Beginners & Advance Users:
1. Select a proper niche:
This is the very first step towards your website, whenever someone decides to establish a website or blog he/she must have the main theme/idea of the site in their minds.
If you don’t have the selected topic then first find a topic and then read other tips. The topic for your website should be your own niche, niche means you have full knowledge about the topic your going to work on.

2. Keyword Research:
After selecting a topic for your website, you will need to select some keywords for your website as it is an important part of SEO.
For this purpose you can use a very powerful and interesting tool provided by Google and it is called “Google Adword Keyword Research Tool“.
By using this tool you will come to know about most searched keywords on your niche. You can select the popular keywords for your blog in just few minutes.
3. Selecting Target Audience:
As you may have seen many companies on the web who are advertising their products on different websites for catching the right audience who might be interested in the product they are offering.
To catch the right audience is a very essential part of any business and thus it applies on blogging as well, Because the people who are not related to your niche or product won’t make relationship with you in person.
You need to expand your business to the right ones because a long term thinking always bring the best results. For selecting your target audience or target country where your site’s visitors may be located use Google Insights for Search.
By using Google insights you can find out which keyword is searched mostly in what country or region. So you will feel comfortable to know the facts.
4. Buying a Good Domain Name
This is also a very sensitive part of your website, in the eyes of SEO experts it is better to have the primary keyword in your domain name.
Choose a domain name which is directly related to your niche. I mean to say, if you’re going to start a website about 2013 fashion trends then you must think about including Fashion word in Your Domain name. If it is possible include both 2013 and fashion in domain name URL.
However, it doesn’t matter if domain is not available in .com extension; you can choose .net, .org etc.

5. Selecting a Platform to design your website
Now this is once again important part; I would say that the design of a website catches the concentration of a visitor at the first impression.
If design is boring or complicated then the visitor goes away from it and doesn’t enter the site any more. So you should carefully select a design for your website.
If you want to start your website with WordPress then select a very simple and attractive theme and make it user friendly and eye catching. And if you are a user of Blogger like me then you can make a good design for your blog. Whether you use Blogger or WP, always keep the visitor in mind if they are navigating your site easily or not?.

6. SEO Tips With Creating Great Content
The above tips were the basic tips, now the advance part of SEO begins. All SEO Experts, Analysts, Optimizers, companies are agree on this point that content is KING and Will Be.
So make it sure you are a productive person and making some difference in the world. Search Engines loves fresh and unique content. So each of your article should have its own beauty and uniqueness.
7. Write Long Articles
If you’re going to start a blog related to writing articles then you must write long articles. I mean to say, if you start a blog on current issues or on Blogging tips etc then you should at least write 400+ words per article. It will increase your keyword density limit which is 4% to 5%.
8. Write Attractive & Optimized Post Titles
Now this part comes, You should write best titles for your each post you publish. Same as we talk in common with each other, whenever we start a conversation we start it from a sentence and if the starting sentence is describing the full story then all of our friends hear our story with full concentration.
Same applies for search engines, if your title is attractive and explains the story at the beginning then search engine’s crawler will instantly recommend your full story for indexing.
9. Correct Usage of Headings
I am not an expert of writing articles, but as common you should use headings carefully and correctly.
Don’t use headings randomly. Make a clear article scratch for both humans and search engines. The H1 tag always comes first or at the starting of an article. Use H2 after H1 and H3 after H2. Headings should be given place in an article with good sorting.
10. Write Meta Description For Each post
If you are using WordPress for blogging then there is a plugin called All SEO in One Pack which has option for search description below every post.
So you should write a good description for each of your blog post. This description is only for search engines so you should clearly tell the search engine that what is the article about.
If you are using Blogger then while writing article at left side of your post body you can see a search description box for every post. You should write a description of maximum 150 characters.
11. Include Images in articles
As you may have heard about this sentence “An image has 1000 words to say“. Therefore, including images in your articles is very useful.
At least one related image should be included in each of your article to get more exposure from search engines. Now a days, Web search and images searches are close to each other.
12. Optimize Images
Having images in articles is good idea, but having optimized images is better. To optimize images offline just give them some good names. Some images have useless names by default like img, kkk093433 etc.
You should give them some good names according to the image’s fact and article. If image is about Blogging tips then give it an appropriate name like “Blogger Tips”, “Blogger Best Tips” etc. In HTML there are two attributes about images which must be used to optimize images more beautifully.
Add alt attribute to each image and give each image a title. the syntax of alt and title is below:
<img src=”your image” title=”3 words title” alt=”3 words text about the image” />
And thus images become visible for search engines.
13. Include Videos in Articles
It is once again a good technique to include videos into your articles. Make a YouTube channel and when you get free time, make video tutorials about your website’s niche and include them in your articles time to time.
Now a days, YouTube is the another popular place from where you can get a good amount of traffic back to your website through your videos.
By making video tutorials you get two advantages, one on YouTube; where you make a community for your videos and they can visit your website by following the given link in your video’s description. and you can make your article more precious by including videos in it.
14. Be Bold
Be Bold while writing articles. If you feel that some words or a sentence of your paragraph is more attractive then make all paragraphs bold with <b> tag. Sometimes you can use the underline tag to highlight the special words of your paragraph.
15. Be Smart
Don’t use too much bold text in a paragraph, more then 4% keywords in an article is not allowed by major search engines.
Google Penguin has been released only to penalized those sites who are over-optimizing their sites. So never spam, don’t use massive keywords and massive links in your articles.
16. Submit Your Blog to Search Engines
After posting at least 20 pages on your website, you should then start submitting your website to different search engines.
First submit your site’s URL to Google, BING and Yahoo Manually. Then Submit Your Site’s URL to other popular search engines such as Ask.com, Search.com and Go.com.
17. Submitting Sitemaps to Search Engines
Sitemap is another great way to submit your entire website to search engine for indexing. It is very essential part of off-Page SEO.
If you are using WordPress then you can use plugins to make sitemap and to submit it to search engines by using their webmaster tools.
If you are using Blogger then you can easily create your sitemap by searching this keyword on Google “Blogger Sitemap Generator”. If your blog (On Blogger) having pages more then 1000 then make multiple sitemaps and submit them to Google Webmaster Tools.
18. Connect with Social Media
Your blog will be popular in short time if you are also popular on Social Media Websites. Submitting your site to the most popular social network websites will definitely make difference in traffic.
You should regularly submit your every post at least to Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest and Digg. They number of links you collect from these social networks will increase your page rank as well.
Read: Why and how to treat your blog like a social networking blog
19. Create Quality Backlinks
As many of you know this is the most important part of Off-Page SEO. Backlink means you have a link (Relation) outside your website on the web, which is indicating back to your site.
So the number of dofollow backlinks you have for your website will decide your existence on the web. You can create backlinks by following below tips:
- Commenting on Dofollow Blogs
- Guest Posting on Other Blogs
- Submit Site to Blog Directories
- Article Submission
- Forum Submission
20. Interlinking within your website
Interlinking means you are linking your pages within your website. If you are writing an article about any topic then you may have published some articles earlier on that topic.
So if you have pages related to your recent article then must link them twice or thrice within the current article. Make sure you are inter linking anchor text is also relevant.

Thanks for your comment Ashley!
SEO stands for search engine optimization and it is a technique of improving the ranking of a website or a URL in the search results. URLs having better ranking appear on the first or second pages of the search results. SEO services are carried out on keyword or phrase basis, since customers search through keywords or phrases. So your website may appear on the first page based on one keyword and may appear on the third page based on another keyword.
Actually i am following all the key concepts for past few days and i have seen some improvements.One question for Abdul Wali-What do you mean by ” Commenting on Dofollow Blogs”?
i think these 21 SEO tips are all enough to apply in someone’s blog. i would like to ask u that how much backlinks is sufficient for one keyword if my niche has low competition.
Thank You!
How do I know the number of backlinks Rakesh? Other than building backlink, being active on social media sites especially Google+ is also must to get good ranking. Try to get as many shares as you possibly can.
Well, I actually believed with all of your 21 SEO tips here Abdul! It is purely a white hat techniques that could really help your website rank on top of Google.

Hey Tushar, Well yes, targeting a proper keyword is must in SEO to get good rank, but remember there are a lot of other aspects that you need to keep in mind.
Glad you liked the points of this post.
Thanks.
Hi,
This post was actually pretty useful. Thanks a lot.
Can you list some sites for Guest Blogging. My expertise is in Finance and Social Media Marketing. I have used most of the tips you have given in this article. Now my main focus is on Guest Blogging. I am looking for a long term engagement with some prominent blogs. Any help would be appreciated
Punit
Munip, The best way to find high quality blogs for guest posting in your niche is to search on Google or to ask from bloggers in your niche.
Great piece of advice, thanks for sharing this. I did some article submitting and social bookmarking but I was wondering in how much time will the results show.
Thanks for posting this article, looking forward to other seo tips from you.
May you have a great day.
~Philip
Interesting article with lots of useful information. Thanks for share.
Impressed by the title & worth reading. Also I want to mention one point for beginners like me & others is “Patience” which is very much important for any beginners in SEO.
Agreed with you Satish
Patience is must!
The only thing which I have mistaken while purchasing domain is proper keyword in domain :/
And I know that it can’t be reversed. But still there are lots and lots of blogs and websites ranked higher and higher on daily basis.
SEO Matters. Really
I guess write long is little bit hard to maintain. Sometimes I just write no matter how long it is and hit publish
Yup Okto, but don’t you think Google and other search engine loves long, quality and unique content?
Don’t use headings randomly. Make a clear article scratch for both humans and search engines. The H1 tag always comes first or at the starting of an article. Use H2 after H1 and H3 after H2. Headings should be given place in an article with good sorting.
Top list of SEO Tips I’ve come across so far. Love it (Y) Great work!
thanks for all guys to comment on this post. I didn’t expect this post would get these number of comments.
Thanks,,
Thanks so much for this awesome post Abdul, I’m glade to host this post. It’s worth it!
Yes this is the best guide i found so far and works like a charm. Seems like “Content Is King” plus quality and relevant baclinks will do good after penguins update. Thank you for sharing the great post Ehsan. Cheers
Thanks for your comment Dave, I’m glade you found it useful and you must thank Abdul Wali for this awesome article.
Thanks Ehsan,
Yes, for newbies it’s all they need to know, otherwise they will harm their site
What I mean by advising not to use over targeted keyword anchor text is this: It catches the eye of the Google algorithms updates such is the penguin.
Moreover, Google recognizes unnatural pattern in the way your link profile is build. This meaning, it recognizes your effort to promote certain keyword phrases in a way that isn’t organic, but rather deliberately made- this always is bad news with Google. It’s sort of grey hat thing (not entirely blackhat, but neither whitehat).
The advice here would be adding anchor text in the following pattern:
-using high targeted keyword phrases in it only 50% of the time ( this of course is an roughly estimate), while the rest of the time you use things like “click here”, “here”, “www.domainname.com”, your brand name, and so on, for anchor text.
-Using your brand name more as to create brand authority faster.
At first, webmasters would think that this is not as important as it sounds. However, the Google updates may sanction the site at any time, so you may experience even some boost in rankings before suffering a penalty. Here is a great article regarding that http://www.seobythesea.com/2012/08/google-rank-modifying-spammers-patent/
This article targets somewhat different issue, but the direction of movement is similar in the sense that Google will lure you into thinking that the techniques that you are implying are doing good, just to find out after a month or so that you were doing wrong.
I got your point of view on this Slaveko, And yeah I’ve seen many start-ups do it, even I did it before. Thanks for the awesome suggestion. Really appreciate it.
Will check out the SEO By the Sea’s article.
Great tips in this post, though I would not agree with the title… There is much more to SEO than just these steps alone. If you are really interested you should read “The art of SEO” by Rand Fishkin, among others.
Another thing I would beg to differ- making backlinks through the means of commenting and guest posting. Guest posting, it is true, still holds the epithet “best” when it comes to building quality links. However, the arguments against gust blogging targeting the manner in which it is made pervade several articles such is the recent one by Rand http://moz.com/rand/the-first-500-links/
Here he advises guest blogging only for sites already developed, or even for newer sites, but having in mind not to overuse high keyword targeted anchor text, which many start-ups do. He also advises against guest posting for sites with low PR, as well as sites that have a low set bar on quality material and offer guest posting opportunity to everybody around the corner. We do so, with a young site and such link profile, and then suddenly, crickets.
Regarding comment marketing- it is more of a marketing technique, than an SEO one. Try commenting with keyword rich name, and Google will make sure to put you in the sandbox, that of course if you have a younger site.
Otherwise a great post.
Hey Slavko,
I’m glade you liked the tips in this post, but as It is really all a newbie needs to know about SEO in their starting point, but not for those who already have good knowledge on SEO.
In this article, we did our best to add everything a newbie blogger needs to know about SEO and getting good rank for their blog posts.
Thanks for sharing the Rand’s article here. That is really impressive for me. But I didn’t get your point on not to overuse high targeted keyword anchor text, What do you mean by this?
Thanks for your suggestions here buddy.
Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, Abdul Wali, Bro
How are you, and thanks to recommend this blog. This is why I am here.
Brother, Your SEOs are Second to none as usual.
One thing I noticed, I find lot of SEO related websites especially from Pakistani Bloggers like yours or the one Ehsan is managing.
Do you people have build a particular niche site which is based on a particular keyword like “scratch and dent appliances” etc so that one can get some idea how the pro develop a product centered site.
Thanks, And Happy Eid Mubarik to you and Mr. Ehsan (The Blog Admin)
Assalam o Alaikum
Hey Habib,
Yes, I’ve a created 2 other niche blogs in which I focused on a particular keyword which I can’t mention here. I hope Abdul Wali also has and he’ll also share it here with us.
Thanks Habib, Happy EID Mubarak to you too.
Hey, Habib Bro,
Thanks for participating here, yes, we can develop a site or blog based on a particular keyword, the number of backlinks with the keyword in anchor text. The king article at least one or two , highlighting the keyword with focus on density and with some interlinking with that keyword can bring great result, almost #1 SERP. If the Keyword is in Domain with above tips then search engine like Google catches it within short time. However, it my take a little time for search engines to understand the niche properly.
Agreed with Wali,
But here I want to ask from you that I’m still in confusion about density.
You said that highlighting the keyword with focus on Density, but can you tell me something bout Density? I mean how much the keyword’s density should be? How much is normal?
Hey Saad,
Thanks buddy for commenting here, You are the new face in blogging arena from Pakistan. I welcome you to the club of Pakistani bloggers.

Learning SEO and implementing SEO is key to success.
Useful info, This is a great and complete SEO tips post which I’ve never read before from somewhere else.
Good job and nice work.
Hey Mach1,
Glad to hear that this post was useful for you. However, SEO is a hot topic these days and must be research on. We are living in the world where SEO is natural but we have to understand it ASAP.
Hey Abdul,
Great Post (Correction, Great Guide to SEO).
As far as SEO goes, my opinion has changed over time. For instance, until last week, I was extremely radical and wasn’t ready to optimize my posts at my new blog (But, I did, I changed my decision, I don’t like SEO, but basic optimization can help a lot, with traffic).
I think the most important thing is that we are passionate about what we are writing (instead of just choosing a niche and blogging in it just because of our motivation to make money or just because it is a great keyword without much competition).
Anyways, thank you for the post,
Jeevan Jacob John
Hey Jeavan Jacob John,
Nice to see you here, yeah, the basic concept of optimization is very essential. however, SEO is natural way of publicizing content.
Choosing a profitable niche without being passionate in it just for the sake of money isn’t going to make any money.
You need to choose a topic in which you have passion and than you should also learn the basics concepts of SEO to optimize your posts for better rank.
Thanks for taking time by leaving comment here Jeevan.
Nice Article! Thanks for sharing with us.

Ehsan Dear,
I just wrote something by myself according to my own experience. I would thank you for publishing this article on your blog.

I’m really happy to know that you sent your first ever guest post to me. As I said that post is really awesome, no words for this.
Great tips you’ve provided here.
A smart Keyword research is definitely important for any blogging success. But that’s just the start. As you’ve pointed out, links are also very vital to acquire authority in the eyes of search engines.
Thanks for stopping by Norbert. Keyword research is something which almost every newbie know about these days, there are other SEO steps which need to be taken in order to see good results.
These tips are just about perfect for any newbie when it comes to internet marketing. Keyword research is probably the most important though if you want any chance of making some money from your site.
Hey Jamie, Thanks for your thoughts. I’m planning to write an article about “positive keyword research”. So stay tuned.
Abdul,
All the tips provided are informative & must do for Newbie bloggers until they get some real traffic.
I agree with Tauseef comments that Blog Directory submission may come risk
Hey Chris,
Welcome to my blog, You might also read my reply to Tauseef’s comment. Directory submission might be risky, but not all blog directories are same.
Thanks for stopping by.
Some interesting tips there. I have read on some tips before but a few there were really interesting read. Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome, and keep visiting for more tips to come.
Hey Candan,
You’re absolutely right, that quality can be found in an article contains 100 words instead of useless lengthy articles of thousands words. But when I said that articles should be long, I mentioned it for increasing keyword density. But I am agree with you that quality content doesn’t need to be lengthy. It depends on the topic or issue, if it can be covered within 200 or 300 words then it is ok. however, Some articles need long description for detailed information.
nice seo tips but i don’t agree on point write long articles,i think article should be written taking into consideration of the topic sometime readers wants a great information in a short and simple.So it does not matter the article is of 100 words or 1000 words as long as it’s solving user questions its a good article.
Really a descriptive and informative post about SEO, You mentioned to submit link in link directories but according to me after penguin update this kind of link building has become more risky, i’ll recommend on guest posting in similar niche, Forum Posting & Do follow blog commenting.
Thank you Tauseef Alam for taking time to comment here.
Reply to your question is: according to my knowledge still there are some good quality blog directories from where we can get backlinks for instance: Bloggers.com. and the other methods for creating quality backlinks are great.
Cheers!

You need to have web traffic to get more web traffic.
So how do you go about getting these backlinks so important to help you increase your ranking?
If you have money to spare, you can submit your website / blog / article for submission of directory services. Perhaps one of the oldest methods to get backlinks, these services charge a fee in exchange for backlinks. Will select the relevant directories to submit your site or article (these numbers can be thousands), making presentations to you, and guarantee to give you X amount of backlinks. You can also choose to make presentations yourself to sites like Yahoo Directory. These will get you backlinks authority, but you have to pay the price.
For those who prefer to use methods to get backlinks for free, there are many ways to go about building web traffic.
1. Write articles with quality content, and submit them to article directories. Electronic publishing and Articles Go Articles, Article Alley, Article of the base, and buzzle are some good sites. There are many others. By submitting articles, you get backlinks from high page rank, more directories when other people post their articles on their sites, additional backlinks to your site. The content of your article is important. If you have useful content and information, readers are encouraged to link to your article. Articles titles give weight to capture the attention of readers.
2 forums. Join relevant to your site and post comments and blogs that link to your website / article. Again, that their messages or at least adequate information and encouraging.
3. Comment on blogs related to your niche. Contribute useful and relevant information to comment on blogs. Link your comment to your article or content relevant to your website. Do this often. It’s a wonderful way to interact with other bloggers and gain credibility for yourself as to increase backlinks to your site.
4. Bookmark Web pages using the popular bookmarking sites like delicious.com, reddit.com, Technorati.com, Stumbleupon.com, etc. You can use socialmarker.com to do this. Is a free tool that helps you reduce the time spent in the presentation to social bookmarking sites.
5. Use free traffic services system. This is a free tool that publishes articles that you submit to hundreds of relevant blogs that link to your article or website. This will result in increased traffic and a higher rank of the page.
6. Submit your site to web directories more popular as Yahoo and DMOZ directory. You can send for free, though it may take from a couple of weeks to several months before the search engines list your site. It’s worth the wait though.
Remember though that not all backlinks are created equal – at least not in the eyes of search engines. So make sure that the backlinks quality. Search engines are known to devalue links from directories with low page ranking. They also get very suspicious if you suddenly have thousands of new backlinks. Think it is spam and reduce their level. So if you are submitting to directories, do not send at a time. Distribute your shipments in a period of time for search engines see as building backlinks naturally.
I gave you 6 good strategies for creating backlinks to your website / blog / article and increase your ranking in search engines. Use them and watch your search engine ranking in Google and other trigger.

krishnamoorthi,
hmmm, Very long comment dear, nice tips you have given.
Thanks for the tips and thanks for stopping by.
I agree, great tips Abdul.
That is quite a list you have and no doubt a very thorough one especially for beginners. Kind of a quick summary of what you should be doing to help you learn and educate yourself as far as SEO goes.
I honestly have nothing else to add because you’re said it all. Great job!

Hello Adrienne,
Thanks for taking time to comment here.
And you know SEO Term is searched mostly by beginners.
Hy Simmeon,
thanks for comment
Yeah, it is pretty good to write search description for every post especially in Blogger, as I am a blogger user. Now blogger has added a lot of SEO features including SEO search description for each post. So we are now happy…
For images I would say give them good names offline if you’re not able to add alt attribute.
Hey Abdul,
In the past I was very lax on using descriptions and alt tags on my image, when I started implementing this I began to get a steady flow of traffic just from Google Images. The traffic source is not to be sniffed at, after while I ranked on page 1 for lots of terms.
I will say name your image properly as well.
wow so nice information about SEO. I really like it and appreciate it tnks so much
Kiran Kamal, thanks for liking it, and I hope you will get the most potential from it.
I think these are enough tips for newbies as well as for everyone to know SEO more closely.
Thanks for sharing Ehsan
Thank you very much Sergio and thanks for stopping by bro.
Yeah, I also did so? I’ll advise to all blogger and webmaster before starting a blog keep in mind, you must have to optimize SEO, as the tips given by Abdul Wali, I really impressed.
I know the tool Google Adword Keyword Research Tool, is very strict in finding great keywords but the question arises?
Q? How many keywords should I optimize for a blog post?
Hello Dilawar,
In my opinion, you should not optimize more than 3 keywords for single post and the great way to get quick ranking is that you should optimize long keywords instead of short because short keywords has high competition.
Yeah! Thanks for your compliment. But why don’t you share that tip in the post above in Keyword research paragraph. That would be great for new readers.
Wouldn’t it be?
It will be great idea, but maybe when Abdul was writing this post that idea didn’t came in his mind.
Thanks for your suggestion Dilawar.
Great list Abdul
All of these points are really important.
I only want to mention that these days you don’t need to submit your blog to search engines – links to your blog are enough.
Thanks for sharing,
Chris
All the points, I have read before. Nothing special but for newbie bloggers it’s an awesome way to optimize their website’s SEO.
Dilawar, its for newbies as well as experienced like us. Yeah, not for Pro-bloggers like you. lll
Hhmmmm, Thanks for responding me buddy. But Abdul Wali, in the beginning of this post you said that:
“I know I know! You have already read hundreds of articles on search engine optimization and you don’t have time to read more, but this is so much more than just a normal SEO article because this is all you need to know about SEO.”
What’s do you mean to say, as we have passed through these strategies about SEO? What’s new in the post? For what we should read this post.
As you said:
“this is so much more than just a normal SEO article because this is all you need to know about SEO.”
My final answer toward post is:
Nothing is special in the post above.
I’m agreed with you that the post is just for newbies but also disagreed with you that: this is so much more than just a normal SEO article because this is all you need to know about SEO.
I mean by saying that it is more than just a normal SEO article is that the normal SEO article always shares some quick SEO tips and not all about SEO.
For example, The normal SEO articles are articles like “How to improve your Google page rank” or “How to optimize your blog images for better SEO”.
But this is the complete SEO guide and that is the reason he said “This is much more than just a normal SEO article because this is all you need to know about SEO” and that’s true.
Hope you got your answer.
Brother Dilawer Pirzada @ I am agree with you in a few points but if you are really pro blogger then must give encourage to upcoming experts those are struggling to set in this field.
As the author Abdul Wali has tried his best to beautify the post,i have no personal communication with him or his blog but I ALWAYS WANT , MORE & MORE UPCOMING EXPERTS IN THIS FIELD.
Thanks Chris, Yes, you are right, but submitting blot to search engines is more quicker way and as Ehsan said, it has advance benefits.
You are Chris, Submitting blog to search engines isn’t necessary, but we can do it for advance benefits:P
This is the best SEO techniques so far. As a matter of fact, there is a lot of snake oil being sold in the name of SEO but these tips that you mention are the real thing. You need to follow all of the things you will find success with your blog for sure.
Thanks Shalu Sharma, Yeah, these tips are the basic points. while there are many more to do.
Informative article and no doubt these are main points in SEO.I think that it needs more easy steps and methods to understand every one . However thanks for the share.
