Search engine optimization consists of both on page and off page activities. Each category has its own relevance and neither can make a SEO campaign succeed on its own. Off page optimization is mainly about building backlinks. Backlinks are links on other websites pointing to your website. These backlinks are highly valued by Google and other search engines and hence can greatly affect the page rank and SERPs of a website.
But not all backlinks are created equal. Backlinks with do follow are the ones that matter. Backlinks should also have proper anchor text with appropriate keywords. It also helps a great deal if the backlinks are on the website with high reputation, high PR and relevant themes.
To get backlinks here are few valuable tips:
1. Analyze competition: The first step in acquiring backlinks is to analyze what the competition is doing and its backlink sources. Use Yahoo! Search Explorer tool to determine the backlinks for each of the top competing websites. List all websites which have backlink to your rival websites. Separate do follow links from the master list. Arrange them in the descending order of their PR. Once you have this list of sites which can provide you backlink, you have a list of source which you need to tap to get inbound links for your site also.
2. Submit website to Directories: Though, it is not that popular as it used to be, it is still very essential. Submit your website URL to both general and niche directories. Link from niche directories are much more valuable. Do not submit to hundreds of directories in one day but go about this step in a consistent and slow manner to avoid Google's suspicion.
3. Submit Articles to Article Directories: One of the most effective techniques to not only build backlinks but to also increase SERPs. Article submission also builds your website's reputation.
4. Blog Posts: Blog posts with backlinks to your website in same/relevant themed blogs not only bring traffic but also results in good position in Google search for your keywords.
5. Create Link Bait: Link bait involves creating compelling & relevant content on the website which makes others link to it. For this not only good content has to be posted but you also need to update content frequently. This will make other bloggers/websites link back to your website.

Search Engine Optimization Guide for Beginners – Image and Headings
In this article we will explore some lesser known tips of search engine optimization for Google. Optimization for Headings and Images is an aspect that is overlooked many times or over done by a SEO newbie.
Headings tags are used to define page organizational structure. Properly written header tags inform site visitors and helps them navigate through your web pages. Effective header tags can even increase your site ranking on search engines like Google. Heading tags are not to be confused with the HEAD section of a web page. Header tags are present in the body section where as the HEAD section is for TITLE and META tags.
Page headings are created with the
For best result for user as well as search engines, a SEO consultant should place main keywords in h1 tags. But H1 tags should be used sparingly in a webpage. A SEO consultant should study the page structure and divide it according to the main point and sub points. Header tags should always be used where they will aid in defining the structure of the web page. A standard use of header tags should be adopted across the website.
Everybody must be aware of images in a webpage. Image tag has “alt” attribute which can be used effectively for search engine optimization. Alt attribute allows specifying alternative text for the image if it cannot be displayed due to some problem. It maybe possible that, that image has been moved to some other location and web page has not been updated. In this case the visitor will at least be aware of what the image was about. Many times, people use browsers that don't display images or images are blocked as in cases of emails. Alt if used properly can increase usability of a webpage. If an image is used as a link, then the alt text for that image is treated as anchor text of a text link.
For best SEO results, images should have descriptive names which include your keywords. Likewise, alt text should also have keywords so that your webpage may rank higher for that keyword. It's a small factor but a factor worth exploring.
These factors help search engines understand and gather more data about your website. While SEO consultants should follow the above mentioned guidelines, they should not go overboard. Extremely lengthy filenames can be counter-intuitive. Similarly, alt tags should not be stuffed with keywords and long paragraph.
This practice can be considered by search engines as an attempt to spam them for higher rankings and hence be penalized.

Search Engine Optimization Guide for Beginners - Content is King
How often do we see a site which has little or no relevant content? Everyone must have heard “Content is the King” phrase. Yes, it's an oft repeated and very clichéd but the fact is that it is important for a very good reason. A site with useful, relevant and compelling content is more likely to influence your websites rankings in search Engines than any other factor. Users will flock to a site again and again, which has a good content. They will recommend others to do so by putting up backlinks, by bookmarking, by social media sites, forums or simply word of mouth. Come to think of it like a great movie. Yes, good marketing and publicity helps but what makes viewers come back again and again to theatres to watch the movie again is its content. This human behavior is replicated everywhere.
If a website is offering great information or some kind of service, then users would like to take advantage of it, become its member. Perhaps a blogger may post its reference on his/her next post and so on.
So what are things we have to keep in mind while writing content for a website?
1) Easy to read and follow: The website should have lucid and easy to read content which makes it available to a larger demography. Spelling and grammatical mistakes may tarnish the reputation, so avoid them. Many sites have text embedded in images; this can make it unreadable to search engines.
2) Focused, Organized: The content should be focused on a particular topic. Different sections should be organized such that users can easily access the content. Web pages with large content may be broken down in to pages with clear navigation. Titles, Headings, Bold, italics, tables, paragraphs and bullets should be used to make content understandable.
3) Use relevant language and phrases: Different users usually search for different phrases. An insider in any particular industry may use technical terms which may be Latin to an end user. Use words that match your audience. Still better, make content with an aim to help every section of demography.
4) Fresh & Unique: This is very vital. Make sure that your site is regularly updated with unique content. The content should not be plagiarized from other sources. It's unethical and is frowned upon by internet community. Good reputation cannot be built upon poor quality website.
5) Useful content & services: A website that provides useful content like Wikipedia or services like Yahoo's mail is more likely to be successful. Your website can also provide some useful content or services (though understandably on a smaller scale than Wikipedia or yahoo) and can get popular quickly then it's competitors.
6) Aim at users: Many webmasters design/develop a site and its content with sole aim at attracting search engines. They stuff keywords within the content which makes it quite unintelligible to a human reader. Many insert hidden text only for search engines. These actions may backfire. Your site should target the human reader first and at the same time make it accessible to search engines also.
