HOW TO EDIT YOUR WEBSITE
CASE STUDY
A client has been updating their website for nearly a year. They added over 100 new web pages to enrich their website and Google search results. They could not determine why Google only indexed 30 of their web pages instead of 131.
Our analysis revealed that a keyboard character they entered in their description meta tag was interpreted as a snippet of code, aka snippet programming, and blocked all these new pages from being seen in Google.
AVOID RANKING LOSS
As a result of this error, they lost nearly a year of Google crawl time for all these new pages. What you ‘type’ and what you ‘see’ displayed in a web browser can look fine, but it can create significant problems in your website’s HTML code when done wrong.
It does not matter if you use a CMS, Content Management System, or a fancy website editor. Only a coding professional knows if the code and characters are technically correct so they do not cause your website any harm or difficulty over search engines.
What You Don’t Know About SEO Can Hurt You.
When I edit website content for maintenance clients, I quickly glance over a page for the following implements: Proper use of H1 through H4 tags, bolding, link-bolding, correct ALT code tagging, and well-formed Metadata.
When I create a new website page, my checklist includes proper navigation linking and placing the latest page link in the site index. You may sabotage your hard work if you edit your website pages and do not know about any of the items above.
Web Grammar And Good Writing Are Just As Important.
Be Careful When You Edit Your Website.
Did you know that Google can detect the reading level of your website? They can determine if your site is at the Child, Teenager, Adult, College, Master, and Doctoral reading levels.
You cannot see this detection, but loosely defined, it is the sum of information found on your website compared to tens of thousands of similar websites and directories with traffic or visits factored in.
This means that Google might find you (your website) to be more of an authoritative source for information on a particular search query because of your grammar and writing.
