Hai,

I am a PHP developer and I had completed a social networking project. In this project users can create their profile and upload their photos and messaging as the all other networking sites can do.

And I am very new to SEO .... I need to do some SEO for the above mentioned web site. All pages in the web site are dynamically loaded other than the index page.

Please any one give me an advice for starting the SEO. Currently I simply did some meta names and descriptions in the pages.

Kindly advise me for the right way , or any good book available for the same purpose.


Please help
Thanks in advance

Hi Rajeesh

The search engines use hundreds of various tidbits of information to decide which webpages are most suitable for a search query. The ranking factors can be divided into on-site and off-site.

I'll only mention on-site factors as I am a believer that off-site influences should self-determine, however, they are a big thing in today's general SEO techniques. Hopefully someone else will cover those for you.

On-site factors include mostly that which is found within the webpage content. It also includes such things as the web page's Title, description, Headings, internal linking structure (anchor links especially), keyphrase emphasizing, age and credibility of domain, logical naming of webpages and images, image alt attributes, intelligence and uniqueness of paragraphs, spelling, keywords in domain name and a few other things that I can't think of right now. It is important to have your keyphrases easily visible and their importance obvious, however, you can't just repeat a keyphrase over and over in the different optimizable webpage components; you need to vary them by throwing in synonymous keyphrases, altering verb tenses, changes to prefixes and suffixes, pluralizing etc. All these other forms of the primary keyphrase endorse and support the value of the keyphrase. Employing keyphrase variants makes your content appear intelligent, to the search engine. It is important too not to over-optimize a webpage in such a manner that it makes it difficult to read for the Internet visitor. Always keep the Internet visitor's experience first in your mind, that will please the search engines too. So it's a balance that you'll have to find.

For social networking sites, the majority of your search engine optimization will have to focus on getting relevant backlinks to your site. I cannot see how you can do a great deal of on page SEO

I think your best bet of getting a good following though is through branding yourself. And unlike the established networking sites, you probably have to have a unique selling point. I.e. why should people use your networking site rather than facebook or twitter? Answer that question, integrate it in your site and you may be on to a winner

Hi, Rajeesh

In my own experiences, title tags would be on top of on-page SEO, no matter dynamic or static pages.

What I recommended is to use your main keywords in your title tags. Of course, variants of them would be really helpful, too. For description tags, you should including attractive ads there. :)

how make directory submissions to DMOZ
how much time it takes time to accept my website

It can take anything from a few weeks to 2 years to get accepted in DMOZ... if ever. They are very fussy about the sites the accept. No blatant advertising. Just content

You can add backlinks, with the correct anchor text, write articles and submit theme to article directories, but probably the most important thing would be to have great content on your site. The more unique service you provide the better.

First thing, use targeted keywords both in your site as well as for off-site activities. Then, create as many backlinks as possible using articles, blogs and forum posts. Creating backlinks from pages with higher PR is a great way to boost your search engine ranking. Better search engine ranking equals greater traffic to your website. For more mileage, use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to promote your website as it's about camping, an activity that is appealing to young people.
