Search Engine Optimisation for Spain Based Websites
Being successful with a website isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do, most webmasters seem to struggle for years, a lot give up completely. At Buddy Spain we understand search engine optimisation (SEO), and have nearly ten years experience of promoting websites and earning an income from them.What SEO is All About
An entire industry worth billions of Euros has been built around the term SEO, and it seems that almost every Tom, Dick, or Harry has some opinion of what you should be doing to improve your SEO, whatever that means.
At Buddy Spain we are quite ruthless with the truth, if someone gives advice, it better be good. We don’t suffer fools lightly, especially people who spend a day reading a few SEO blogs and then hang up their shingle pretending to be an expert.
Here’s what we know. Forget about the hype of needing high pagerank, get rid of any ideas of using meta keywords, instead focus on providing genuine information of a high calibre that leads to sales conversions. Focus on reducing bounce rates on your site, slow down your readers and get them to stay a little longer.
Then, use the information in your website statistics to get to know your readers and use this information to build links to your site from relevant competitors or other niche sites.
Spain SEO for Your Website
Promoting a website based in Spain, or covering Spanish content can be a particular challenge for English speaking webmasters, this is why dealing with a dedicated Spain SEO is so important. The trick is to make sure your site has relevant backlinks from within Spain, not just the UK or USA. Spanish language sites that link to you are every bit as valuable as English sites so we look for any site that has relevance to your major keywords, whether they’re an English or Spanish site, and then attempt to deal with the owner to improve your links.
Getting backlinks from other websites to your own rarely happens without the site owner also wanting a link to their site, but of course reciprocal links aren’t as valuable, so we use our own network of sites to offer links to the other webmaster instead of your website. It’s a win/win for everyone involved.
Use Free Resources Wisely
In Spain it can be difficult to find other websites that will link to you and help your efforts at getting to the top of the search engines for your main keywords (SEO), and to top it off, many websites don’t even rank well for their own business name or locality. We come across many websites that have been designed by local experts who claim to have experience in these matters, yet confusingly their client’s websites get no traffic or bookings.
We take a different approach and use free resources such as FaceBook, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, Linked.in, Squidoo, HubPages, Buzzle, Blogspot and many more to build a profile for your business and ensure you rank well in the main search engines.
