Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of getting your website, articles, or blogs listed on the search results of all leading search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. For B2B businesses, SEO has become all the more important particularly after companies have started getting lots of new prospects via online product search.

Your website will get maximum online visitors once your site get top ranking onto the first page of search engine results.

Although in SEO, keywords are still very important, yet new algorithms are re-defining the way websites achieve a ranking. With time, search engines, have become much more sophisticated and the spiders or crawlers are ranking web pages based on a number of factors.
In addition to quality content, today, search engines are paying attention to visitor time on page and pogo sticking, which means a visitor coming to a web page and then immediately clicking on the back button. Bounce rate creates a negative impact on a website, as it makes the search engine believe the page has low quality content. According to Google Analytics, bounce rate is the percentage of visitors who visit a website to the ones who only visit one page.

Use long tail keywords

SEO experts are stressing on the use of long tail keywords instead of just one word. Your site will have a higher chance of achieving the top spot on Google, or Yahoo if you optimize a keyphrase consisting of multiple words instead of just one word.

You must also add the key phrase in the H1 header tag as well as in one or more H2-H6 header tags. While writing blogs, you can add multiple images and use the key phrase when naming the image file. Another good way to get high ranking for your blog is to assign a few categories for it. Additionally, try getting as many external links possible for improving your articles search ranking.
