Types of SEO

There are two types of SEO. First is Onsite/On-Page SEO and second is Offsite/Off-Page SEO.

  • In onpage SEO, we optimize the programming code (like title, meta tags, microdata/schema), focus on server & page speed, and make content users friendly.
  • Offpage SEO basically based on the 'Backlinks Building'. In this steps, we create references from related websites and make the website more familiar with search engine bot.

How can You start Onsite optimisation with your website?

There is three main part of onsite optimisation. You can start with these elements.

  • <head></head>: This element act as a container for metadata (data about data) and is placed between the <html> tag and the <body> tag. Here we can write about <title>, <meta>, <script>, <link> and <base> tags. Metadata typically define the document title, character set, styles, links, scripts, and other meta information. Metadata is not displayed. Read more We optimize it one by one according to our business and keywords/phrase.
  • <body></body>: The <body> element is displayed. It contains all the contents of an HTML document, such as text, images, hyperlinks, tables, lists, etc. Some tags are very important like <h></h> <ol><li><ul><span> etc. It help us to optimize text/content. ALT attribute within in the IMG tag helps us to optimize Images.
  • Loading Time: We can devide into two types. First is Server response time and second is Page load time is also a big factor in SEO. Server Response time is the response time between Browser and Server. If it takes too much time then your whole website will be slow, no matter how optimized your website is. Page load time depends on the web page elements. for example HTML, JavaScript and CSS files, images, etc. You can check your website's page load time and server response time at many free websites like Google PageSpeed insights, Pingdom, and GTmetrix.

 Black Hat SEO and White Hat SEO.

These are the technical weapon to increase website rank. But some experts have divided it into two part.
  • BlackHat SEO: Blackhat SEO means 'Using Bad Technique' or you can say, These techniques break the rules of search engines. 
  • WhiteHat SEO: Whitehat SEO means 'Using Good Techniques' or you can say these techniques are not banned yet.😊
