How To Optimize A Theme Based Website?

Posted by admin | November 22, 2008 .

Theme based websites focus on one main topic, all other pages of such websites are interlinked with each other and visitors have a clear path to follow after landing on the home page. The success of a theme based website depends on its content and number of pages indexed by Google. So before starting the optimization process, make sure you have enough content on your site (at least 100 unique pages).

Content Is Every Thing?

If you jut keep on building content after choosing most appropriate keywords and meta tags, even then you will not only receive traffic but also natural backlinks as many webmasters and bloggers will link to your quality content. But to get most out of your site, you need to spend time on common SEO techniques as well.

Power OF Anchor Text And Basics Of SEO

To understand the basics of SEO (Both on page and off page components) I would like to advise you to download and read Google’s search engine optimization starter guide.

Search engine can rank you higher for related keywords and they can display related description anywhere from a webpage but it is very important that you rank yourself higher for your own chosen keywords and for that purpose anchor text links are very important. Your core keyword hyperlinked to your website is called anchor text link.

How To Participate In Forums To Get Quality Backlinks and Anchor Text?

Only select those forums which allow the use of HTML in the signatures so that you can display URL along with anchor text. In your forum signatures use one core keyword (title) and linked it with your main site and below that display your complete URL. This will tell search engine that suggested site provides relevant information for this keyword.

Articles And Web Directory Submissions

Web directory submission is another great method to receive quality inbound links. This is a list of top web directories where you should submit your URL. Only submit your links to free directories as featured or paid links are banned by Google and use your main keyword as submission title. Directory submission can be tedious, boring and copy paste work but you can save much time by using keyboard macro utility softwares like hot keyboard.

Similarly, you should also write and submit articles to the top article directories. To get most out of article submissions write compelling author resource box and display URL along the anchor text.
