Very good advise in the article. Just started up a new website and trying to read, and of course apply, as much as possible regarding CEO. There are no short cuts to be taken. I will put more effort into building valuable content and make the site more user friendly prior to trying to push traffic to it.

Thanks once again, and also, the comments were great advise too!

Cheers,
William

Hi Dennis,
Absolutely! Every page of your site should be optimized, have call(s) to action and should be created as a separate entry point!

Hi Nick
It is great advice to get the foundations right. I spent months optimizing only the home page before I realized how important it was to get all the pages optimized.

A really good piece of advice for new webmasters who’re obsessesed with SERP and ignore focusing their own website first. First impression always last long. Before welcoming guest to our house for a party, we must tidy up to make it impressive so that they feel welcome and comfortable which also help spread the news how beautiful it is. We get free advertisement as well.

great article! It certainly makes sense that the few customers that come to your site are engaged in a way that it produces result. I think patience is the key. Keep tweaking away!

This is great advice! Another thing to check is old out of date pages that have been deleted but are still showing up in search results….301 redirect those to a new relevant page and/or put the old page in the robots.txt file

Very well placed. I totally agree with you. We may manage to attract many visitors but its of no use if we donot have a website that manages to engage the visitors.

In addition to getting your meta tags in order and making your pages visually productive, you should ensure that your content is customer-centric. Here’s a tool that helps determine the % that’s about your company vs about your customer.
