Main Page Of Your Website – SEO

Optimize the main page of your site (domain name, index.html) for word combination’s that are most important. This page is most likely to get to the top of search engine lists. My seo observations suggest that the main page may account for up to 30-40% percent of the total search traffic for some sites.

When registering a domain name, try to use keywords with in it that you are ranking for. If you can get a genuine domain name that hasn’t been taken, jump on it! Also for the main page of your website, try to use different combination’s of keywords that will bring you traffic and bump you up in rankings. Always keep your eyes peeled on your stats, rankings. You can use a keyword tool to see what keywords are most competitive and which aren’t, which different combination’s are being used and the whole 9 yards.

For example if you have a wallpapers website, using a domain name with the keyword wallpapers in it can play a huge part in ranking for that keyword. Unfortunately it would be almost impossible to get a domain name like www.wallpapers.com or www.freewallpapers.com . You could always try to put in a back order so that once the domain expires you could try to snatch it.

You see that the keywords are in Bold text. Also if you view our article on using meta tags , descriptions and optimizing the first sentence or 2 of your website you will learn how to optimize better for ranking in search engines. Always remember that you want to use keywords while making your description and title look appealing. Give the visitor a reason to click your site or in other words try to give them the thought of if they click it, they know that they will find what they are looking for!

Now doing this plays a big role with your main page. For most cases, your main page will show your meta description, for other pages, it will usually show the first sentence or so in the description. Now you see above it is showing the meta description and title for the main pages. If you have other pages that are ranking, here is an example of the search engine crawling the first sentence and listing it within the rankings.

As you can see, page isn’t optimized well for the search engine. It is up to you what you can do with it.
