Off-Page SEO
“Off-Page SEO” refers to all of the
activities that you and others do away from your website to raise the ranking
of a page with search engines. Though many people associate off-page SEO with link building,
it goes beyond that. Many activities that don’t result in a standard link on
other sites are important for off-page optimization. On-page search engine optimization happens within the site, while
off-page SEO happens outside the site. If you write a guest post for
another blog or leave a comment, you’re doing off-page site promotion. Off-page
search engine optimization is not just about links. It goes deeper than that. For example, brand mentions (your site
URL or brand name mentioned on another site without a hyperlink) are an
integral aspect of off-page search signals. As smart bloggers and content
marketers, we usually start with on-page SEO. But we don’t stop there. Because, to a large extent, the things
that matter to Google often happen away from your web site. Depending on your marketing goals, the time you spend on off-page
search engine optimization will vary. Dr. Pete Meyers from Seo
Australia observed that many web site owners spend about 30% of their time on
off-page factors, and 70% on on-page factors. For other web site owners, those
percentages are reversed.
