Top 10 SEO Advices to Tamil Hindu Website

தமிழ் ஹிந்து & சொல்வனம்

1. No < title > →Tamil Hindu article page doesn’t have a title. Search engines use this information to determine, what the article is about.

2. The META (log in stuff) could be removed or moved down; especially the entries RSS could be renamed as ‘Subscribe to this website contents in your Reader’; Register could be renamed as ‘Become a Member of Thamil Hindu’ and transferred to a better area.

3. Add a ‘Subscribe by email‘ with a box for mail-id in each page – prominently; many would like get posts (at least summaries) in email in box

4. Tag (cloud) could be listed on the LHS (similar to Category listing)

5. List of Recent Posts on each page

6. ‘Kakkai parliament’ and all posts should have at least two images (like one of Bharathiyar and other one relevant to the page: The image names should be given descriptively; similar to ஷேக்)

7. Use ‘All in one SEO pack’ to get better mileage; pull more visitors from Google, Bing. More info @ தேடுபொறிகளுக்கு உகந்ததாகத் தளத்தை மாற்றுவது எப்படி? & வேர்ட்ப்ரெஸ் நீட்சிகள்

8. Automatically generated Related posts on each page.

9. Links are very very implicit; most of them without underline; could be difficult for elderly & visually challenged folks like me.

10. Finally, does TamilHindu have a Facebook and Twitter account?
