SEO for ‘08

December 20, 2007

According to Matt Cutts in a recent interview he has espoused the following top things to continue or focus on in 2008 with regards to your search programs. Some or most are pretty obvious.

 1. High Quality Content – Is this news to anyone out there? Yes, my friend you need some seriously good regular unique keyword rich content that your readers will appreciate and want to come back for more.

2. Personalization – Specific demographic niches, something that will attract your users to the community of what ever site your working on and engage them.

3. Local – This goes for every business, large and small – you have a business address and no local maps? This should also include your branch addresses as well. If you have a local address in Google and it’s showing as incorrect, you can edit the map to the correct physical location. This does take some time to actually get updated in Google. Same goes for Yahoo and MSN Live too – don’t forget them!

4. Mobile – I know this is still fairly new, but it will be very big! When you consider that Google and Yahoo have produced mobile search engines – some very basic Mobile SEO components should avoid tables in your design, have concise titles, have a small page size, and include good content. And finally, don’t neglect the Mobile Sitemap

Happy Holidays and Happy SEO in the New Year!
