all_in_one_seo

Title:
This is the most important field in terms of SEO. It’s also the text that appears in the top bar of the browser for anyone viewing the page. Place the most important keywords for each page at the beginning of page title for the greatest impact.

Search Engines use this is the information to display what the page is about in the search results. A good description can also encourage visitor to click through to your site. Any keywords searched with will appear in bold.

Keywords:
While Google has long ignored this field do to misuse, there’s no harm in copying your keywords from the page title into this field and separating them by commas. It doesn’t take long, and some search engines may still use the keywords tag.

Just leave the Title Attribute and Menu Label fields blank.

SEO for All other Pages and Posts

The information entered from the Settings menu will only apply to your home page. For every other page and post, the same boxes will appear at the bottom of the page under All in One SEO Pack.

If you leave the title blank, the default tile will be the name of your post, followed by the name of your blog. For some posts this may be perfectly acceptable, but it’s nice to have the ability to override this whenever you like.

Anchor Text for a Vancouver Storage Company

Adding text-based links to internal pages within your website will help search engines index as many pages in your website as possible and improve the ranking for the page the link points to.

The visible text used for any hyperlink is known as Anchor Text.

Search engines use the anchor text from incoming links as one of the methods to index a page.

For example the Vancouver Storage website for Yaletown Mini Storage,   the anchor text for an internal link to a page about their Vancouver storage facility should contain keywords related to that page.

The anchor text in the above links are: Vancouver Storage and Vancouver storage facility.

Varying the anchor text is preferable as it appears more natural than if the identical text is used repeatedly. Using the example above, other useful internal links are:

Vancouver Mini Storage
Vancouver Self Storage
Vancouver Public Storage

All the above examples are all far superior to anchor text such as: Click Here which does nothing to tell Google what the page is about.

The same applies to backlinks as well, but the anchor text used for a backlink is often out of your control. Focus on what you CAN control.  Start with your internal links.
