Many SEO SEM companies still use keywords and if you plan to do your own SEO, it is best to use these words correctly. These days the SEO professionals do not place keywords in the Meta information, as many search engines do not look at them anymore.

If you are a frequent content writer, you know that you must not stuff up your article with a keyword density of 7%, as this will lessen the quality of the piece you have written when it comes to SEO testing. The fact remains that keywords still play an important part in site content, blogs, video, images, and even PPC.

Content is everything

One cannot stick to a poorly written piece by adding content once a month or even using text spinners. Your content must be original, useful to your industry & audience, and related to your work. Write articles with proper spelling and grammar and for your images and videos, you need to include an ALT tag, description, and title with proper research in place.

Using white hat SEO properly adds value to your audience

To perform your best in search results you need to use white hat SEO properly as this adds value to your viewers and industry. Make sure your site performs well and designed well, enabling different users to view your site on different platforms.

Present users with fresh content and ideas with a mix of multimedia content while utilising social media to ensure that your brand stands out. Do not buy links, as this will cost you with Google and rather go the organic way, as it is a cost effective SEO procedure.

Another great and valid technique is guest blogging and you need to approach it naturally. Use similar domain sites to your own if you are planning to go this way.

These are only a couple of techniques you can use to improve your white hat SEO techniques and the most important of all is to remember that your content needs to be excellent as this will drive users to your site.
