On-page optimization

**alexpabla** · 07-17-2011 02:25 PM

What if I don't use any CMS and I just create a page in html only, would it be better than using any CMS for ranking good in Search Engine.

I have heard that SEO is mainly for html pages, it would give good benefit if you do so, using too many flashy stuffs, videos etc. is not good on-page optimization technique, is it correct?

The requirement for SEO, both on page and off page, is the same for static (plain html) or dynamic content. Remember, a CMS hands an html page to the browser. It builds the page using content stored in a database, and various page templates but what it gives to the browser is an html page.

Flash objects, content in iframes, and javascript are not visible to a search bot. Javascript nav menus need to be supported by site navigation in html, often placed at the bottom of the page or a link to an html site map. Things can also be done with <noscript> tags. In general Google likes videos. You can put a text description that can help with optimization. Images are good and can be easily optimized with title and alt tags, but too many or too large (file size) can slow down load speed, and Google likes snappy load times.

Yes SEO is mainly for HTML pages. So your site must be an error free. You have to avoid so much flash, ads, etc.,

On page optimization is necessary for every webpage to make it search engine friendly.

Its true that search engines cannot read content in rich media files, so its better to lean away from such files.

Whether you are using CMS or HTML or your web pages, its rankings depends on your SEO efforts. The better you optimize, the better you rank.

hi alexpabla

on page optimization is necessary for website. for that you will have to keep the following factors in mind.

you should do a proper keyword research and after you have got it you need to place the main keyword in the following format in your website.

you must place the main keyword in the title of the website

HTML Code:

<html>
   <head>
         <title>Key Word</title>
  </head>

you should have the main keyword in the url of the page
Code:
```
   yourdomainname.com/main-keyword.html
```
the main keyword should also be in the <h1> - <h3> tags
the main keyword should be used at least 2% - 3% in the article that you write.

if you place images then you should have an "alt="key word"" tag in the image file

HTML Code:

<img src="_images/abhishek-kundu.jpeg" alt="Abhishek Kundu" />

if you are having a small website then you can create each page manually but i will suggest you to use cms like wordpress / drupal to develop your website because these cms's have got many useful seo plugins which you can use to achieve the same result with less effort.

hope this will clear your doubts.

also keep in mind that along with on page seo you must also do off page seo. that's the most vital part.

kindest,

I personally don't use any prebuilt CMS. I code everything by hand in notepad++. This way I have 100% control over what goes on to the page, in the order I choose, and can guarantee that my code is always 100% valid as per W3C standards.

Yep you are right Google doesn't give much preference to Flash and image. But it doesn't mean that you want to create a website in HTML. it's good if you create a website in php or else if you want to use CMS you can prefer Wordpress and joomla. Just keep noted don't put big size image it will effect on your website load time.

Whether you create a site in html, or use a CMS, you are still going to be optimizing it the same, and use the same methods to build links back to the site. Image sizes are a tricky one, but if you do keep them small and optimize these, it could be fantastic in helping drive traffic to your site. Flash and Javascript should be used in moderation. I can't say cut them out completely, but but the reason why they are not effective is because they cannot read the code properly, and in most cases bots are programmed to ignore any JS or Flash. JQuery is a better way of doing things, but its not as feature rich as flash would be. Writing navigation text in plain HTML is also a good idea, because the bots can read through it all.

I read somewhere, I think in my training notes, that a bot reads the meta details in a site, and then reads through the top, center, and bottom of a site page, so optimizing those key areas would be beneficial to your site as well.

What is CMS? can anybody tell me good explanation.....?

**meenakshi** · 09-20-2011 10:27 AM

The inner pages may be coded with any of the languages. But it is essential to have landing pages in html. It could be crawled by the bots and flash and java script are not readable by them. Moreover if you want your website to be available through mobile phones, it will be better to follow these strategies.To provide alt tags for flash images will serve the purpose.Some of the CMSes are SEO friendly like Drupal, Wordpress etc.
