SERM and SEM
Ideally optimized landing Use inline text (h2, h3, h4) and text formatting (bold, underline). Use tables / presentations / pictures / videos / animations - such elements keep the user longer on the page.
Images and links in the content are labeled with alt and title attributes = "" | = "" and described accordingly.
www.ideo.pl
SERM and SEM
Ideally optimized landing Do not copy content and do not duplicate titles. The title is always important. For SEO is the most important. Text should be written only to the user, only then optimized for the
search engines. Do not be afraid to put links to other sites in the content, provided there are high quality pages (no more than 2-3). www.ideo.pl
SERM and SEM
Ideally optimized landing Put links to your own site (no limit on the number of links, if the links do not constitute more than 10-20% of the article). File names are important (attachments, pictures).
Put links in attachments and press releases (links in files matter).
