Villa Management and Property Rental

It's Exotiq Villa Services where I'm working right now.
It's been 10 monthsI didn't update this blog. It's been 10 months I've been working as web marketing.

Meanwhile... I'm still working on my SEO freelance project.
This company is my university. As were the other previous jobs.
Web content editor, SEO specialist and now web marketing.
Mysecond task is to supervise the IT department. To decide, purchase, act and give instructions.

I'm nearly 30. And life delivers me as an Internet Marketing person. Soon I'll be able to add Web Analyst to my skills. It's been almost 10 years since my first IT job, which was an Internet Counselor.

Reading what I wrote just now.. think its funny. I never thought I would be an IT person. I took English bachelor degree. I didn't have a computer at home until 6 years ago. I couldn't even use MS. Word 9 years ago. So it was a right decision to take the next study in Informatics.

Meta Tagging of "Hotel Murah"

Previous posts were examples on blogging. As i've wrote below that content holds a major portion on search engine result pages. Build a unique content, multiple words and repetitive keywords. Try not to make it duplicate and unnecessary. But dont you know that in SEO, meta tagging also plays a significant roles?

What is meta tag actually?

META TITLE>Hotel Murah di Bali
META CONTENT='hotel murah, bali cheap hotels, Hotel Bali Murah, SEO blog, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, basic, content, seo keyword, writing analysis, index google, google index' NAME='keywords'>
META CONTENT='Information on Hotel murah or cheap hotels in Bali' NAME='description'>
META CONTENT='2 days' NAME='Revisit-After'>

What the heck is it? You can see metatagging of a website by right clicking on your mouse and view page source. Scroll on the upper part and you will find what words that website is optimize in. It is a set of rule that tells the robots of search engine about the content of the website. Where is it come from? It comes from keyword.


Pattern of Web Surfer
Keyword is actually the phrase web surfers are typing in search engines. What they want to find out, to search and find information. There are so many word for so many search. For example if i want to spend a holiday in Bali and i'm on budget, first i would like to see if there is a nice and cheap accommodation. I will open the internet, click on google, yahoo or msn, and type "hotel murah" in bahasa indonesia or "cheap hotel". There will be more than 1000 website result. But i wont bother to open the 90 something. So i just click on the website that comes in between 1-2 pages. Then if i dont see what i'm looking for, i will continue searching. On new word search!

This is the pattern of most websurfer is. Knowing this will bring a great benefit on how to make your website is most visible by them. And that's by coming in top 10! ( or 20). Now we know 1 thing "hotel murah". Use the phrase in your meta script and spread it all over in your website. Mix and match the word, and make it naturally written. Of course there are so many meta to be used. But the ones commonly optimize are: title, keyword, description and ROBOT TXT.

Talking Hotel Murah in Bali

Today i searched for keyword "hotel murah" in google. It appears to be only 368.000 websites listing for that phrase. So i say.."this is it!" I will take it for my SEO project.

Hotel murah or cheap hotel is somehow confusing if its not so much competitors since its a wide and general search word in our mind to find. Especially in Bali which is known as Island of Gods or paradise. Many people will try to find a cheap place or hotel yang murah to stay as long as they can during their visit.

Cheap places or hotel murah can be found even in the crowdest place such as Legian and Seminyak. The rate starts from 60 thousand rupiahs or $6 until 300 thousands or $30. They are clean, indoor bathroom and a fan for standard rooms. Murah sekali, bukan? But you will not find it online. You have to come directly to the hotel or best known as guesthouse or homestay for the cheap one. Like what we said, "murah tapi tidak murahan". Best if you know local people to show the right place. Just tell them that you are looking for a cozy and nice cheap hotel, or in bahasa " hotel murah".

Writing a Content

Here are some guidelines to follow when writing the content of your page:

1. Always use your primary keywords in the body text area at least one or more times.
2. Try to place your primary keyword phrase at the beginning of the body text.
3. Try to repeat the keyword phrase near the beginning and the end of each paragraph in the body and near the end of the body area itself. In other words, prove to the search engines without a shadow of a doubt that your page is about that particular keyword phrase, because you've used it in all of your keyword-containing tags and have sprinkled it throughout the contents (body text) of the page.
4. Avoid listing the same word multiple times in a row since some engines may penalize for this. Instead, use the keyword multiple times, but separate them by other words in your text.
5. Use the longer form and the plural form of a keyword when possible. For example, if you use marketing in your body text, a search on marketing or market will yield a match on most engines. However, words like companies will not always yield a match on company since company is not an exact "substring" of companies. In these cases, you'll want to try and use both forms of the word.

Some engines prefer more words than other engines, but in general a total word count between 300 and 800 words is normally recommended in the <> area of your web page. You should use this space in the body of your document as an opportunity to create excellent content for your visitors.

Keyword Placement
Optimize each of your Web pages for not more than 4-5 keywords. Preferably, use the top 5 keywords on the homepage. For a first hand reference, analyze your competitor’s website and take note of the places where he has included his keywords on his Web pages. Try to use the keywords towards the top of the Web page, because this helps in improving the ranking of the page. Following is a list of important locations for putting up your keywords.

• Title Meta Tags
• Alt Tags in Pictures that are Links
• Alt Tags in Pictures that are not Links
• Anchor Text
• Header Tag Content
• Title Tag in Anchor Tags
• Bold/Italic Tag Content
• Body Text on top, middle and bottom of page
• URL/Filenames
• Meta Keyword Description
