There are several on-site and off-site factors that effect a website. While assessing a website from SEO point of view we should cover both the aspects. Irina Ponomareva has pointed out several such factors that includes the following:

The on-site factors:

Content.Does the site have a lot of textual content for visitors to read and for the search engines to index? Is it done in plain text, graphics or Flash (because the last two options make it invisible for the engines)? Is it unique?

Title tags and other meta information. Its important to have unique title tags on every page of a website. The same applies to “keywords” and “description” meta tags. Granted, these tags are less important than the title tags for rankings, but a properly optimised website still should have unique meta tags on each page.

Two other meta tags are also in use now a days:

META NAME=”robots” CONTENT=”NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW”>, , or .

internal linking. All internal links pointing to the home page should be linked to the root (http://www.domainname.com/ rather than http://www.domainname.com/index.html). The same rule applies to subfolders (link to http://www.domainname.com/folder/ rather than http://www.domainname.com/folder/index.php).

The off-site factors:

This usually means links. Quick and aggressive link campaigns are a thing of the past. The engines now look for naturally developed great resources. That’s why the main purpose of a good SEO review is to help the website owner to turn the website into a resource as close to “great” as possible.
