Basic HTML Coding To Improve Search Engine Ranking

In my previous article about 9 Basic SEO checklist for beginner, I did write in point form and did not explain in details. so I'll be explaining one by one in few articles, so that you can refer one by one in details on how to improve search engine ranking for your blog.

How To Add HTML Coding Into Blog Post

Basically HTML coding can be done easily. Quoted from previous post :

(i.e. H1, h2, h3, Alt text, Bold, Underline, Italic, etc.)

1) H1, H2, H3
This can be done by adding H1 tag for sub-title within your blog post. I.e. " < /h1 > Text < /h1 >".
Between, < /h1 >has the biggest size and follow by < /h2 >and < /h3 >. Normally I'll only use < /h3 > for my sub-title, that's mean you're telling GoogleBot that the title is important.

2) Alt Text For Image
This "alt" can be added into your image, you can fill in the description for the image. So when people search some images that related with your description for the image, they found your image and your blog as well.

3) Bold, Underline and Italic
This can be done by bold, underline or italic your keywords within the post, but don't over do this, it can make your post messy. Reasonable optimization will be the best for both readers and also Google.

My 2 Cents

By optimize your page with the above steps, it can slightly improve your search engine ranking. We call it on-page optimization, means that you're optimizing your blog within your page. I'll be explaining more about it in coming post as well. Bear in mind, on-page optimizing is only one part of search engine optimization, we still have a lot tutorial to go, but make sure you build up fresh and good content, because Google consider content is everything.

How Long That Google Update Pagerank

Many bloggers ask me about "Why I don't get my Pagerank?", "When Google give Pagerank?", etc. I'm not sure about when is the exactly date that Google update PR, but normally Google update blog or website's PR once 3-4 months. Last updated was around July, so I predict Google will update our PR again at around October or November.

Let's wait and see what PR you can get, don't blame if you cant get any PR, some blogger even dropped their PR. There are few factors that kill your PR, i.e. selling text links, paid post, etc. Before Google updates our PR, keep building up fresh and quality content because this is the most effectiveness way to get PR and also search engine ranking.

My 2 Cents

Other than fresh content, Google might take basic on-page optimization into their consideration too. So, never try to fool Google, you'll be caught and penalized, once your blog in jail, you'll get nothing in blogosphere. I recommend you to read and understand Google's Basic Quality Guidelines, so that you won't get penalized by Google and keep asking Google why they ban you.

In overall, the thing you have to do is build up fresh content, this is the very basic step and the most important step to get good pagerank and search engine ranking. Wish you luck on the next Pagerank update.
