Technically sound SEO game plan

In most of the cases, it has been found SEO plans have failed even after having quality content and excellent links. It is only because website owners forget to get involved with the technical parts of the work. If you do not want to be among them, be involved with the technicalities right from the beginning. However, if you are not enough technically sound, you can always consider taking the help of an expert of the field and get the technicalities right. A technically incapable site will be left out by major search engines and will never come into the limelight.  Some of the common technical issues to be taken care while optimization of a page are:

• Poor analytics
• Missing or wrongly implemented XML sitemap, robots.txt or htaccess.
• Infinite space links
• A lesser amount of original content
• Duplicate title tags

Just fixing the technicalities of the site once during site installation is not enough. You should check it at regular interval of time.

Include SEO planning right from the beginning of your business and let it grow side by side with your venture.
