Text VS Graphics in Your Website :SEO
Websites : Text VS Graphics
Do you think that putting too much graphics (images, multimedia,
sound) makes your website much more attractive but you must note that the text
the higher the site gets ranked by search engines.
The text and graphics ratio in a site must be 3:1 on then
the search engines can find out that the content can attract viewers.
More over search engine spiders like Google don’t look at
the site in a way we view our site as they are text based and not graphics
based .
You can search for many spider simulators in Google to check
your own content .
See the result
Moreover incorporating graphics in a website makes it much
more slower which can reduce search engine ranking significantly.
So even if your site is completely based on graphics you
must include some amount of text to make it reasonably understandable.
More over sometimes search engine’s tend to take some text
from you sites body to show in the descriptions and I think you might probably
know the significance of description in a search result as you may find
yourself in a situation where you read the descriptions before opening a site
in Google’s search result.
However you must remember that you are not making your
content for Google but it’s for the users who will use your content, therefore using
only text also plays a bad role as the viewers may feel bored while reading
your content. So incorporating at least one pic per heading may be required.
You still must not use animated objects or too much
javascripts in your site.
So you must omit using animated objects or javascripts wherever
unnecessary.
Summary
-Use significant amount of text in your site.
-Use images/pics within limits (maybe 1 to 2 pics per
heading).
-Try to avoid using animation and javascripts to the extent
you can.
Take for example Wikipedia it almost ranks 1 in many search
check out the amount of graphics and text it has and I think it will justify
all your questions.

Ways To Rank High in Google
Introduction:
You Have created a blog/site with great enthusiasm.
Gave it the very best content you could.
But when you see your page views < 100 per day .
you feel retarded you think what went wrong.
You try new techniques to improve your blog/site but still results are the same.
But don’t lose hope because all great sites or blogs which rank
high today had to face the
Same problem that you are facing now.
Never give up try these unique techniques and get the best out of your
site/blog.
===========================
Never try to put up content from other sites on your site as
google will penalize you.
This statements stand for all content text, images,
animation, sound etc.
This is the worst thing you can do.
Even having 5 unique content’s is better than having 100
copyrighted content’s
from other sites I bet
on it.
===========================
#2 Unique
Content:
Always Focus On pure
and unique content.
Check the ratio of Content demand and competition, try to
write content which gets less competition from other sites.
You can’t rank high with google if you read a site and try
to put a similar content on your site.
The more unique your content is the more traffic you get.
===========================
#3 Links
from High ranking sites :
Try to get links from High ranking sites which have a lot of
traffic.
This can tremendously increase your google rank.
For example if you are site is based on Search engine optimization
and you can get a link from one of the
great SEO sites it increases your rank
great SEO sites it increases your rank
But keep in mind don’t go mad about links and start putting your
site url here and there
Because links from good sites and links from poor sites are
two different cases all together.
===========================
#4 Say yes to guest posting :
Build good relation with experts, good authors of great
sites.
Ask them to allow you to write post for them in which you
can add
Your website url for getting backlinks. However it
completely depend on them to get your post accepted.
===========================
===========================
#5 Show your page title Before the site title:
Configure your website so that it shows your page title first then the site title.
Take Example from my site
Top Tricks to
increase Google Page Rank – Techunited (the
right way)
Not
Techunited- Top Tricks to increase Google Page Rank (the
wrong way)
===========================
#6 Join the Web 2.0 Sites
Web 2.0 sites refers to
site that have an extra social networking ability.
Like - Squidoo, Delicious
Write articles on these
sites which include unique content and multimedia and have a backlink to your
site .
However don’t try to
copy/paste articles from your site to these sites as google can reduce your
page
rank as various copyright related issues.
rank as various copyright related issues.
===========================
#7 Optimize
your site with good Keywords:
Always use keywords
relevant to your site and look for good keywords with less competition.
Use the google adword tool
in this case.
Small sites must not go
for keywords of very high ranking sites as your site cannot compete with them
at the present moment.
Precautions “do not flood
your site with keywords or your site rank will be reduced” this is one of the
major mistakes.
===========================
#8 Faster the
page the higher the page rank:
Don’t flood your site with
widgets or other apps use an seo optimized template which can load very fast.
Think like a spider not an
author of the site
if you think the unnecessary
apps beautify your site then magage them using too many increase page
loading time and make it difficult for spiders to crawl and index your site.
loading time and make it difficult for spiders to crawl and index your site.
===========================
#9 Authors be
frequent :
Google loves sites which
are updated with unique content regularly.
Don’t be lazy and try to
post articles on a a regular basis.
#10 Never Underestimate
Sitemaps:
always submit a sitemap to
google through it’s webmaster tools as it helps google index your site.
#11 Video Sitemap:
Its Hard to rank high in
google search however if you have a high ranked video on youtube you can use
it with your video sitemap so that google can show the video along with your site search result.
it with your video sitemap so that google can show the video along with your site search result.
However if you don’t have
a high ranked video don’t wait create a unique video which resembles your

site and upload it to youtube and wait until it has ranked high enough.
This can tremendously
increase your Google rank.
Only for
bloggers:-
#11 Get a
Custom Domain If possible:
Blogspots and wordpress
are ranked much lower than sites with .com .in .us.
Therefore setting up a
custom Domain is a good idea and can help tremendously with google page rank.
