Once you&#8217;ve chosen your site&#8217;s subject matter,<br \/>\n  think about how further categorization could be helpful. For instance, if your site is about baby<br \/>\n  care, think about grouping your content into categories such as Health care, Diseases, or<br \/>\n  Education. It&#8217;s also a good idea to pick a relevant domain name that&#8217;s easy for your audience to<br \/>\n  remember.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"create-user-friendly-navigation-and-page-layout\" tabindex=\"-1\">Create user-friendly navigation and page layout<\/h2>\n<p>\n  A good user interface is critical for any website&mdash;including Google; it creates a good first<br \/>\n  impression and is critical to how users navigate your site. If you want to include multimedia<br \/>\n  elements like Flash in your design, make sure that your pages can still be indexed by Google.<br \/>\n  Check out our blog post on<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/best-uses-of-flash\/\">Best uses of Flash<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"make-things-easy-for-your-users\" tabindex=\"-1\">Make things easy for your users<\/h2>\n<p>\n  For instance, you could provide a search box for your users to search within your site; or show<br \/>\n  your users a little <span>TLC (Tender Loving Care)<\/span> by creating a survey on<br \/>\n  the home page. Some users can&#8217;t view images or have very slow connections&mdash;improve their<br \/>\n  experiences (and the indexability of your site!) by making sure your images have useful and<br \/>\n  appropriate alt text.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"provide-original-content\" tabindex=\"-1\">Provide original content<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Your site&#8217;s users are looking for something unique&mdash;content that can&#8217;t be found elsewhere.<br \/>\n  When someone enters your site, they might want to see something unique. Copying content from other<br \/>\n  sites creates a negative user experience (and scraping content can<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/spam-policies\/\">negatively impact your site&#8217;s ranking in our search results<\/a>).<br \/>\n  If you really need to use content from another site, respect copyright and credit the original<br \/>\n  source (and provide a link). Try to reorganize and augment the content, so that it fits better<br \/>\n  with your own site&#8217;s focus and style. If you provide multimedia content such as video or music,<br \/>\n  text descriptions of these are always useful. It&#8217;s also smart to consider embedding this content<br \/>\n  directly on your pages, so users can enjoy it without having to leave your site.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"keep-your-site-well-maintained\" tabindex=\"-1\">Keep your site well maintained<\/h2>\n<p>\n  Getting hacked is a nightmare. Make sure you check your site for any potential security issues on<br \/>\n  a regular basis. Check out<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stopbadware.org\/home\/security\" class=\"external-link\">Tips for cleaning and Securing Your Website<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Valid and easy-to-find contact information will help you get direct feedback from your users. If<br \/>\n  you have a forum or a guest book on your site, better make sure it never be abused by spammers.<br \/>\n  Check out<br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/alienroad.com\/google-bilgi-bankasi\/simplified-chinese-blog-tips-for-reducing-comment-spam\/\">How to prevent comment spam<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline-author\">By Xiang Meng , Search Quality Team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday, May 12, 2008 At Google, our #1 priority is providing users with rich and useful content in our search results.
