SEO Tips In Under 10 Minutes:

The following are list of SEO Tips for your start ups which can be learnt in under 10 minutes!

1. Use Webmaster Tools And Their Email Forwarding.  This is first thing to do in your blog/site is to verify your ownership on it through Google Webmaster Tools. It is a very useful service granted to us by Google. This tools provide you a lot of features. One of that is email forwarding. If you enable it, Google will send you emails informing you of any problems it found on your site, such as site inaccessibility, malicious content, malware (virus), crawl errors, and a large number of 404s (not found errors, or broken links). Having this kind of information can be extremely useful, so that you can troubleshoot and correct any errors that might harm your website's reputation.

2. Have A Background Checks. On Your Domain If it happens that you are not the first owner of your domain and you bought it from someone else, then you should better run a background investagation on your domain to see if it's clean and safe. One good way to do this task is , go to Webmaster Tools, and look for the keywords listed there for your domain. It might cause harm to your site if the keywords are irrelevant to your domain name or niche. Another better way, is to look into the past information by going to DomainTools and look up your domain. You'll see information of your blog domain if it is available or not. See the screenshot below.

3. Use Some Analytics Program Webmasters.  It should always do some sort of statistical data in their respective site like Alexa in order to have a grasp of their audience . It is also advisable that you set up some Analytics program, the best of all is Google Analytics. which is very helpful and reliable. Don't wait for tomorrow for your BIG start. Do it NOW!

4. Fetch As GoogleBot Fetch as GoogleBot. Another great feature provided by Google Webmaster Tools (GWTS) . You can submit a specific URL of your blog to GWTs, and it will tell you whether it was redirected appropriately, and what information it downloaded. In that way, you can see what information Google looks for. You can also tell Google to not just crawl, but also submit to index or that URL. That way, whenever you update your site, you can trigger that entire process to happen by Google, and have it available to searchers even faster. Sounds good buddies, isn't it?

5. A User-Friendly Site Design. As I have wrote earlier in my article "Why Webmasters Fail to Make Money Online" is a bad site design. A great site design is one of the keys to your success in the race online. As others say "First impression is lasting" , always count. To understand this point, put yourself as a visitor of ones blog and try to ask these questions to your self. Can I navigate easily enough to all parts or pages of this blog? Can I figure out easily where I am, and Did I get easily to my desired content? Am I satisfied? These set of questions are important and must be answered with a positive one. Try to make an article which is not too lengthy in order to save time making articles.This might save yours, but pushing away your readers' since they will jump for another site. Avoid merging topics in one post! Separate your content if necessary.

6. Relevant Calls To Action. This is related to Blog Design but I intend to write it separately for emphasis. Be sensitive to the call of your customers. Others feel bored because of poor blog design in its pages. For example, you could put an subscribe for email newsletters widget on one page, share your service on another and so on. Since there are different types of customers with different wants, that way, you can target them all according to their needs. Not all will buy your products, for example. Nor will everyone share your services or subscribe for newsletters. So keep all these calls to action.

7. Avoid Link Building Schemes. Just follow the normal way of getting traffic on your site and everything will be fine! Never, ever engage in buying backlinks from link building schemes. They are always spam. You thought that this is the best way to rise your visibility in search engine results page but they are cheap backlinks that will cause harm to your site more than they'll help you. And even if they did start out as quality links, they won't be forever! It will pull down you back more than you could imagine. That's disgusting. Google don't want you to practice Black Hat SEO!

8. Site Load Time. Your real consumers is not those robots (machine) that put your site in Google SERP but the people who will land to your site and interact with your written articles. So, make them happy and of that way is your blog loading time which is user's friendly. Make it in the range of 5-10 seconds which is considered fine. No more than 10, but anywhere under 10 to make your customers happy. If it goes more than 10sec, then don't worry. Just find other way to make your users experince great. However, if you can manage that, and still go under 5, then you are in good track.

9. My Conclusion

The bottom line is how well you connect with your audience matters most!.Be honest to your customers/visitors. Interact with them and answer their questions promptly. Make them feel part of your site. Share your content on social media to expand your exposure because the initial volume of your blog traffic will come from them. Hope you will apply even one of these tips to your blog. Good luck pal :-) Below is a less than 10 minute video on all the SEO you should know as a start-up.
