SEO 2.0 For Web 2.0 Sites

SMX West — Santa Clara, CA

February 27th, 2008

Moderated by Stephan Spencer

If SEO 1.0 is about ensuring that 1990s-era web design techniques (such as tables and frames) are modified to minimize search engine ranking issues, then Web 2.0 is all about addressing how you can make your sites search-engine friendly with new technology. CSS, AJAX and other dynamic design techniques can give search engines fits; SEO 2.0 is all about ensuring that Web 2.0 sites are as search engine friendly as Web 1.0 sites.

In this in-depth article about content optimization on ClickZ, Netconcepts Director of Natural Search Consulting PJ Fusco, digs deep into this essential part of SEO.

Content optimization is about prominently incorporating targeted keywords and keyword phrases into the copy on each page to appeal to prospects searching for your goods and services. Doing so ensures your content has a chance to be found for all the right words. Ideally, these are highly searched terms and phrases that convert. That’s where keyword research comes into play when optimizing your site’s content.

Before you dig into keyword research to determine how well targeted your content is and what the size of your keyword market is, there are a few basic skills to add to your repertoire. Fundamental content optimization skills include:

* How to compile keyword research.

* How to measure content optimization efforts.

* Some basic copywriting knowledge.

* Basic HTML coding and basic SEO knowledge.

* A commitment to optimizing content — efforts will pay off!
