Long Term SEO
Maintenance Tips
Search Engine Optimization
By: Stephen S Alison
Long-term SEO maintenance requires dedication to your
website. There are people who think that they can throw up a web
page and that people will find them, and good luck too them –
but it won’t happen. Any website that wants to make money needs
to get optimized, and stay that way. Running and SEO campaign
once or twice isn’t enough in this market: you need to consider
long-term maintenance of your SEO.

For long term SEO maintenance to be effective, you need
to constantly monitor the search engines algorithms, which can
change very frequently. You also need to keep track of your
competitors’ optimizations and adapt your strategy accordingly.
Always consider your website as an investment – you’ve put time,
money and effort into it. Your investment needs to be protected,
and the way to do that is SEO maintenance. This makes sure that
your website is ranked high enough to bring you the traffic you
need, and keeps the sales coming.
We’ve compiled a list of tips to help you with your SEO
maintenance. To keep good rankings, you need to pay attention to
how your site is doing. A few things to remember are: |
1. Check on your pages regularly and make sure they’re still
listed. Your listings are the most important part of your SEO
work. Whether the page is listed or not is vastly more important
than what key words you have etc. After all, if you aren’t
listed at all what good is it to optimize?
2. Monitor the listings every week or two to make sure your
pages are displaying correctly and that there are no problems
with your site. While your at it see whether you’ve risen,
dropped, or remained constant as far as listings go. Odds are
that you will not remain constant, if you do remain constant you
should consider this a small success as you have probably risen
above other pages that were formerly above you while others from
below you have surpassed you.
3. Watch for trouble, and fix it quickly. Don’t think it will
correct itself – it won't. Any missing pages should be checked
out thoroughly. Chances are that the system has run into a
problem, but if you don’t check it out you may very easily be
wrong. Always correct any of your mistakes as your mistakes can
be very costly if they are not dealt with in a timely fashion.
4. Resubmit your site if you make major changes, but not for
anything smaller. The most important time to resubmit your site
is if you have recently changed your titles. Titles are very
important in SEO and can deliver you with a completely new set
of quality key words.
5. Create monthly ranking reports on your site, to see if any
changes need to be made.
6. Keep building your link popularity.
7. Keep submitting your site to the big directories, as spiders
use these as a starting point.
8. Watch your competitors and the methods they use. If they
start trying to cheat, report them straightaway – it gets them
out of your way.
9. Set goals for yourself. Write out an SEO maintenance plan,
and if things change then make sure to set new goals and stick
with them.
10. Stay up to date on the latest SEO information.
11. Check your site’s performance – if you’re not monitoring
your traffic, find a tool to do it now.
12. Maintain a solid plan for dealing with your site’s growth.
Don’t panic if you see a blip.
This might seem like a lot of work for a small website or
company, but you need to do it to help your website grow. If you
don’t have growth, you have nothing. No business wants to stay
where it is forever, and SEO is a good way to get more business
and stay in the race.
Do you remember why you started a website to begin with? The
chances are you wanted to make money. Your website is a
business, and you need to run it like one. Don’t stress too much
over the work involved: it’s only a few hours each week in
total, and you can do it whenever you want.
