From my experience, I have watched that so many people feel a hesitation about the On Page SEO in their mind.

If you have a basic idea about web design and popular CMS then it (SEO) is very easy to learn. On Page Optimization and Off Page Optimization, both of them are very necessary for any site. If the On Page Optimization is not strong in your site, then you do not get a good result from Off Page Optimization. So, let’s come and watch that, what do you do on your site about On Page SEO?

Meta Title: For any site or page, what title do you want use in the search Engine is called Meta Title. You must write the Meta title in between 56-60 words. You must try to write the targeted keyword at first. You must also watch that as your Meta Title is attractive and as the visitors click on that attractive title.

URL Structure: You must watch that the keyword of your site may stay in your URL structure. The structure of mydomin.com/on-page-seo is more SEO friendly than the structure of mydomin.com/hgysl786?p=300. However, keep in mind that, the URL is not too long. If possible, you must refrain from using stop words in URL.

Current Length: The ranking of your site in the Search Engine depends on the length of your page content. But you don’t write any ridiculous article to make it a long. Your article should be valuable and relevant. You must try to keep the word limitation in between 500 to 2000+.

Heading Tags: H1 to H6 tags are called heading Tags. In the title, you should use H1 tag. You use the H2 tag as a subheading. You will use targeted keywords in H1 and H2 tags. With these, you may use h3, h4 tags.

Image ALT tag: Search Engines do not understand about the by default images which are used in your site. You may use Image ALT tag option to get understand by the search engines about the images which are used in your site. You use your targeted keywords as an ALT tag during the use of Image ALT Tag.

Other Image Information: Besides the use of Image ALT Tag, you must try to give the name of Image, image description, Image title etc. these are so helpful for image ranking.

Internal Linking Structure: The Internet Linking is called to link from one page to another page. Search Engine follow those links on the pages for Page Index. Internet link not only helps to index the pages of your site, but also helps to navigate the visitors. But the most important thing is that SEO grants the permission of passing the “internal do follow links“. You never keep the internal link “no follow”. You must keep in watch that as the internal link is suitable for the page. The best thing is that if you do the SILO Structure during the internal linking.

LSI Keyword: The full form of LSI is that Latent Semantic Indexing. Truly speaking that you use the synonym of the keywords in your article. LSI keywords describe about your articles to the Google. I am giving an easy example. Suppose, your article is written about “Baby”.  Naturally, you must use the word “baby” in your article. But, you may use the synonym of the word “baby” such as “child“, “infant“. Click here to know more about LSI Keyword.

Keyword Density: The keyword Density is called about how many percentage of the keyword in your article is used. You should keep the keyword density within 2%.
