Content Optimization

What is Content Optimization?
The Web is loaded with information presented through different types of content; text, images, video and audio are the most popular types.
In general, content optimization is the process of making the content of a website more attractive to search engines and users.

Title                            
 Length: 60-65 char / 512 pixels
• Title tag contains important keywords first then Brand name.
• Meaningful and relevant with page content.
• Use only pipes (|) to separate important keywords/phrase (no comma (,), underscore (_), dash (-) or any other sign).
• Don’t duplicate title tags. Use unique for every page.
 • Try to avoid Stop Words.                                  

Structured Data
All major search engines have agreed to a common format of representing data and this is known as structured data or schemas. For example if you are selling products, you can specify the name of your product, brand, price, images, availability, condition, reviews and a bunch of other elements that will help crawlers index your product pages better. There are also schemas for articles, where you specify the author, content, description, featured image and title.

Avoid Duplicate Content
Content duplication is normal and can occur in many situations. The most common is having duplicate content within your website either because of your archive pages or because of the way your website is structured.

This is not very bad and Google will not penalize you for this but it makes it more difficult for them to understand which the most important pages of your website are that need to be included in their index.
• To bypass this problem and optimize your content better, make use of Sitemaps to let them know about your important pages and also of canonical urls.
• What is bad is having content on your website that was previously published on other websites, even if you link back to the source. You need to understand that in order to rank your website higher, it needs to have lots of original and unique content.

Internal and External links

Links are very important in the whole content optimization process. You need both internal and external links.
