Doing A Home Page Analysis Will Help You Understand How Your Site Compares
Getting a Home Page Analysis helps you understand how a site's homepage appears to both Search Engines and Site Analyzers. And How it compare with other Sites.
You can find a free Site Analyzer with a simple search. I had one done and this is why I am writing this write today.
Sinbadthesailorman.com Home Page Analysis Summary
The Analysis told me I had good Titles and Headlines and sub-headlines, but lacked accurate and quality Meta Tags. This just confirmed what I already knew and I will be working on these meta tags shortly. I have made some time in the near future for this, but I still have many more important and pressing things I need to get done first.
The Title of a Web-page Appears In Search Results as a Link to Your Page
The title of a web-page appears as a clickable link in your potential visitors searches. These search results will become their bookmarks.
A descriptive, compelling home page title with relevant keywords can increase the number of people visiting your site. This is the Sole purpose of your Sites Title as far as your Visitors are concerned.
Search Engines on the other hand view the text of the title tag as a strong indication of what the page is about.
Accurate keywords in that title tag can help the page rank better in search results. Why is the length important? I could only take a Guess, I truly don't know. But the experts say it is and my tests seem to confirm their opinions.
A title tag should have fewer than 70 characters, including spaces. Major search engines won't display more than that.
The title tag of your home page (and any other pages on your site) should not contain the site’s domain name or URL. These will appear near the title in search results, so use your 70 characters to tell people what the page is about.
The title tag should not contain any HTML, because it will be displayed incorrectly or not at all. Make sure you use a title tag on your pages. Make them of a good length and use as many of your available characters as you can.
The Title of My Site's Homepage Is “Poetry, Writes & Other Stuff from Sinbad the Sailor Man”
I have weak Meta tags I need better Meta Tags to describe that my site is a real time learning site or Journal site and is meant to be a place where others can learn by my examples and by what I am and have done to increase my traffic and what are the things I am doing to try to develop some income streams with my writes and poetry.
I am working on what tags I will be using here soon to do this. I even developed an Abbreviation of sorts for the Site I own, and I am working on a Logo for it too.
The Abbreviation is PW&OSfStSM if a search is done on this alone in the near future it will start pulling up all my writes because I am using it as a Tag now.
Search Engines Often Use the Meta Description of a Web-page to Describe it in Search Results
The purpose of a meta tag is to describe that particular pages content. Use your headlines and subheadings to do this, along with the very first paragraph as well.
The meta description tells searchers what a web-page is about. It is often displayed below the title in search results, and helps people decide if they want to visit that website.
Search engines will read 200 to 250 characters, but usually display only 150, including spaces. The first 150 characters of the meta description should contain the most important keywords for that web page. Using fewer than 50 characters could mean you’re not saying enough about the page.
Keywords are the words that appear most often or describe the pages content the best remember your Pen names and signature sign ins and offs, and any specialized Quotes Mine are Somebody come and Play, Grow as you Go and Earn as you Learn these are common phrases and not specific to my site alone, unless other devices are used.
Abbreviations such as PW&OSfStSM, my pen name Sinbad the Sailor Man or Keywords for the site such as Poetry Writes & Other Stuff from Sinbad the Sailor Man they will bring up many others before my site or any particular site, these are qualifiers for the search terms, and they will bring up my site quite regularly now by themselves.
As of today these are my websites Meta Tags: but they will be changing very shortly/ Poetry written by Sinbad the Sailor Man four Poems for a Buck, Blog,”/
The Main Heading is an Important Sentence or Phrase On Your Web-page
The main heading is an important sentence or phrase on a web page that quickly and clearly tells people and search engines what they can expect to find there.
My site is Poetry Writes & Others Stuff from Sinbad the Sailor Man, if the page talks or mentions Ads, Adsense, Advertising, etc, etc. these will be tags for that page. Mention them in a sub-headline or the very first paragraph. along with the Page's Title Heading
All my pages Titles are the Same. Poetry Writes & Others Stuff from Sinbad the Sailor Man This allows the search Engine a common Pick from my content now by the sub title or the most promotable paragraph all My sub Headlines Begin with Teaser / Subject matter or a draw or hook phrase at this time as I am still adding relevant content to all my pages thus far.
In most cases, a web page should have just one Headline and heading. Using multiple Headline and headings is okay if that is a logical way to organize the page, but they should be used sparingly.
Just because search engines can view multiple Headlines and headings, it is often seen as an attempt to signal that all the content on a page is equally important, a tactic that's seen as an attempt to game the Search Engines Algorithms. Search engines look for a Headline and heading to determine what a page is about. Human visitors do, too!
The Headline and Headings Appear on the Webpage Itself, Unlike the Page Title, Which People will See in the Search Results.
The Headline tag (which contains the very first headings) is usually listed first among the other heading tags for a page. None of the major search engines, however some will penalize a site for listing to many headline tags ahead of the first tag or actual title.
The Headline headings for a page should be different from its title. Each can target different important keywords for better SEO results.
You can see below how most search engines will display this site's home page in search results. The title is used as the link to the page, and the meta description appears below the title.
