A couple of Search Engine Opitmization (SEO) factors to push up our pages and highly ranked in the organic search results in Google, Bing and Yahoo:
1. Site Content – content is still the king, it has a core value in search maketing (SEM). How to write up a SEO-friendly content is essentially a trial-and-error process which requires keywords combination and useful content.
2. Keywords – By placing key phases strategically on the content page to create keyword density, offering useful, well-articulated, relevant and entertaining information are the keys to get the site to the top of the organic search result page (SERP).
3. Meta Description Content – is an important tool to enable search engine like Google to see your pages. Its’ critical to make a “unique and distinct“ Page title is as important as a book title in printed world. Meta Description with meaningful keywords visible to the search engine is important as they will get displayed on the SERP after indexing.
4. URL path - placing keywords in our URL path of our pages would be an effective way to make it detectable by search engine
5. Inbound Links – link building is regarded as the horse power to get our site to the top of search result page. My mentors told TG that we need other highly-regard, reputable site which has relevancy to our content to link up with us. Internal links also play a major role in developing inbound link strategy.
6. Domain Name - Site/web has long history or has been around in the websphere will get quality score from Google. A good and easy-to-remember domain name is crucial despite the fact that such domain name is rare!

Kelikuru.com is 嘰哩咕嚕, a Chinese term basically means rumbling. The idea comes across TG's mind while watching a cartoon show on TV few years ago. We walk through our life,day by day ; speak to many people, known or unknown, year after year and we may not notice that there are so many wonderful things passing by. Writing a blog can literally leave my foot-prints in the internet world, help me keep the memory. At this moment, a big chunk of my life is closely aligned with user-centric design, user research, web-based environment both in Hong Kong and China. Perhaps I may not be like that tomorrow, I may be in other setting, have nothing to do with usability, but who knows what's going to happen next?
