Web pages and websites are not the same thing. They are very different. Some of you maybe thinking, “ya<\/span>, we know”. But many of you aren’t. I constantly hear “web pages” and “websites” used interchangeably in this industry and it drives me so crazy that I decided to write an article about it. Not only is it wrong, but thinking this will severely hurt your SEO strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Web Pages vs Websites<\/h2>\n

The easiest way to explain the difference\u00a0is to think of your website as a book, and think of web pages as the pages of that book. A page of your book is not same thing as your book, right? Well, a web page is not the same thing as your website.<\/p>\n

\"web<\/p>\n

Why the difference matters<\/h2>\n

When a user performs a search, Google’s algorithm\u00a0displays the most relevant web pages<\/span><\/strong>, not the most relevant websites. For example, let’s say you\u00a0do a search\u00a0for a “digital cameras”. Look what comes up Google first. It’s not Bestbuy.com. It’s Bestbuy.com’s digital camera page. That’s because Google’s goal is to get the user as close as possible to the most relevant content.<\/p>\n

\"dig-camera\"<\/p>\n

How this effects SEO<\/h2>\n

Your\u00a0entire website should be properly optimized for search engines, but it’s more important to optimize individual web pages, landing pages and blog posts<\/strong> because that’s how Google’s algorithm works. Google\u00a0looks for the most relevant web pages to display in their SERPs, not the most relevant website.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep in mind, the authority of your website does matter and effects your ranking.<\/p>\n

How to optimize a web page<\/h2>\n

Instead of giving you a long drawn out explanation, I’m going to point you to two options:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. MySiteAuditor<\/a><\/p>\n

Our audit tool scans one web page at a time and determines how optimized that page is\u00a0for a key phrase. This is perfect for you and your SEO client’s. Again, out tool doesn’t try to scan your entire website, only one web page, landing page or blog post at a time.<\/p>\n
