Hello everyone,
These are my seo checklist that may help all seo's doesnt matter if begineer or expert..
Hope this help.. i just shared to help everyone
any comments or addition appreciated
Basic SEO Checklist
1. Keyword in Title tag - close to beginning (Niche Keyword research through Keyword tools like Wordtracker, Overture)
Title tag 10 - 60 characters, no special characters
The Florida Update EVEN penalized for this,
as part of the OOP. That was absurd, but effective.
2. Keyword in description meta tag
Shows theme - less than 200 chars.
(Was part of Google Florida OOP)
Google no longer relies upon this tag, but frequently uses it.
3. Keyword in keyword metatag (Listed comma-separated keywords in the keywords meta tag )
Shows theme - less than 10 words.
(Was part of Google Florida OOP)
Every word in this tag MUST appear somewhere in the body.
If not, it will be penalized for irrelevance.
NO single word should appear more than twice.
If not, it is considered spam. Google purportedly no longer values this tag, but others
4. Keyword in H1, H2 and H3
Use H1 font style
(Was part of Google Florida OOP)
5. Keyword density in body text 10% - (all keywords/ total words)
Some report topic sensitivity - the keyword spamming threshold varies with the topic?
6. Individual keyword density 1 - 6% - (each keyword/ total words)
7. Keyword font size
In strong, bold, italic, etc.
8. Keyword proximity (for 2+ keywords)
