If You Don’t Maintain your existing website Now, You’ll Hate Yourself Later

Maintenance is the most important routine task to keep traffic comes to our web site all the time. For getting the traffic, we need to get our web site in the top rank of the search engine result, that’s why we need to consider carefully of SEO (search engine optimization) aspects in our web site.
However, our SEO application in our web site is not always working properly because some reason where one of them is no web site maintenance. It is often happened if we have more than 1 web site and we tend to forget the older website.

As my experience last week, I found my web rank and traffic decrease dramatically because I didn’t maintain the web site. I was busy my new blog so forgot about the older website.
After I checked and investigated, I found that title for each articles in my website are gone!!… I lost my article’s title accidentally! I put the code in the title and somehow it disappeared without I realized it. That’s made my rank and traffic decrease dramatically because one of the important parts of SEO – titles of content were gone.

Some practical maintenance action that we need to do regularly:
1. You need to visit your own website at least once a week. It will make sure that your web site can be accessed smoothly and your SEO aspects are still in place.
2. Don’t ignore your old website if you still hope traffic from there.
3. Regularly check your cpanel and you can find a menu which is sometimes having different names such as webstat or awstat or webalizer etc. You can check what keywords mostly used by visitors come to your site, How the visitor find out our site from search engine etc.
4. Use free tools such as: Free monitor for Google from CleverStat.com to check the page rank based on the certain keywords
5. Check feed link, sometimes the link of our feed also broken because some script, you can read my previous article about it.
6. Check broken link, you can use the free tool in www.dead-links.com

With those simple actions above, you can make sure that the traffic still comes to your site.
