Excellent simple SEO test.
Testing is the kind of advice that's frequently recommended, but rarely acted on within the SEO community. The most common reasons I hear for SEOs not doing their own testing include lack of time, too busy optimizing client websites, or lack of resources.

I think there are still five factors we should think about when doing SEO in this day:
1/ Social interactions
2/ Depth articles are as long as 2000-5000 words with quality
3/ Claiming your own Google+ Authorship for your content
4/ Link building is networking
5/ Looking for some 3rd party tools when key words are not provided
It's just my idea.

These are really some basic, conceptual and tricky one questions which any SEO employee must know about it, whichever position you are in but some time these small questions let down your confidence when you don't have proper answer about that.
Having practical knowledge and dealing with practical SEO challenges is much bigger than normal SEO tests. Cause a test can be limited or up to the mind of a person to whom you are taking test.

The questions posted above are really nice and very helpful from the SEO point of view. I like the overall collections that is given here.
All those questions are nice and very important for the beginner who want to be an expert in SEO, but the thing is that now it's not possible to give answers to all those questions because lots of things has changed in SEO as compare to previous. ;)
Your all 100 Questions are awesome. I know answers most of the questions but never know the answer of first question. Please specify first question's answer.
Nofollow, as explained in the infographic, is a tag or attribute that signals that the page linking out is claiming no endorsement of the page it links to, nor that the link is being done because of any commercial relationship between the pages, according to the official HTML 5 specs from the World Wide Web Consortium, or W3C.
Question number 11. (Dmoz is used to Know: Page Authority, Followed Internal Links, External Followed Links, Total Internal Links, Total External Links, Total Links, Followed Linking Root Domains, Total Linking Root Domains etc.)
Hi Vinil the question you posted in this forum seems to be helping who wants to start their career as Seo Executive and if they want to get success in their as Seo Expert can read these questions because some times when we go for a interview in top seo companies the questions above are always asked and in lack of information sometimes we are not able to give answer.
All Experts said in this thread this is test are simple test.
Can you post answers of all those questionnaire so that will more helpful for all and most of beginners like me.
Please,
Kindly waiting for all experts contribution.
Few of the questions are very good and a few of the questions are very tough to answer and it looks like aptitude paper. It's good for the beginners who really want to know the basic of SEO
Ya can enplane this issue:
Which Search Engines Support NOODP?
The "NOODP" robots meta tag is fully supported by Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.
If the search engine (in this case, Yahoo!) displays information about your site taken from the Yahoo! Directory instead of your description meta tag, you can force it to ignore the directory information by including a robots meta tag like this: <meta name="robots" content="noydir" />.
It should also be perfectly reasonable to specify instructions for each individual crawling robot, such as indicated below.
If you only have the problem with Google, you can use this: <meta name="googlebot" content="noodp" />.
If you only have the problem with Yahoo!, you can use this: <meta name="slurp" content="noydir" />.
If you only have the problem with MSN, you can use this: <meta name="msnbot" content="noodp" />.
One of the most succinct methods is to use a single robots meta tag with multiple attributes separated by commas like this: <meta name="robots" content="noodp,noydir" />.
Which Search Engines Support NOYDIR?
Currently, only Yahoo!'s spider, Slurp, uses the Yahoo! Directory.
If the search engine (in this case, Yahoo!) displays information about your site taken from the Yahoo! Directory instead of your description meta tag, you can force it to ignore the directory information by including a robots meta tag like this: <meta name="robots" content="noydir" />.
Be aware that, once you add any of the above meta tags to your pages, it may take some time for changes to your snippets to appear.
It is hoped that these examples illustrate several of the methods at your disposal that will help you to tailor the way search engines index a given web page.

I give you the ans of question no. 97, the ans is if we will have following the SEO google guidelines, without black Hat SEO, than it is possible for us to increase our page rank on higher ranking , so its depends upon the our content and how we use the description and title of the keyword.

3. Nofollow
No follow is introduced by Google to discourage spam in the comment. It is basically launched to provide more value in a related topic where unnecessary/irrelevant/not valuable what we called as spam to be detected.
No follow is mainly a value to instruct some engines that the hyperlink would not influence the ranking in search engines index.
what is link wheel ..?
Ans.:- As most search engines now ignore reciprocal links and link farms many webmasters have looked for other less obvious ways to create inbound links to their website.
The link wheel is one such idea where several similar themed websites get together and create a circle of links. So website A links to website B which links to website C which then links back to website A. Link wheels can contain any number of websites from the three in this example upwards.
The idea is not new and originally existed in the 1990s as 'rings' for banner swapping. So you might have a 'health ring' where health related sites would swap banners and hence links but the focus then was simply to attract more traffic rather than to improve the ranking of the site.
Essentially link wheels attempt to try and fool the search engines by hiding reciprocal links via third party websites and the method has had some success.
However, as with all systems that are not 'genuine' search engine algorithms are already changing to spot these so in the long term spending money on link wheel programmes is not recommended...
#16 ans.
5 search engines are GOOGLE, Mozilla Firefox, Internet explorer, Yahoo and Bing.
#22 ans.
Anchor text . Content links which contain links to other texts.
Really wonderfull... Time to take a self test.
Thanks for sharing these questions.

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

2. all are client-server side errors, related to access of webpage.
3. No follow sites donot give authorities to other sites, they don't share ranks.
4. Pagerank is based on search engine crawling and indexing.
5. rank sharing .

Testing is the kind of advice that's frequently recommended, but rarely acted on within the SEO community. The most common reasons I hear for SEOs not doing their own testing include lack of time, too busy optimizing client websites, or lack of resources.

Does your site display both with and without www? If so, then Google and Bing treat your site as two different sites! So people who link to your site using www.YourSite.com and Yoursite.com are splitting your popularity. Popularity is a HUGE metric for both Google and Bing so don't let it happen. What should happen? Your site needs to have a permanent redirection to always show www or not to show www. Either way is 100% fine, just not both!

1. NOODP and NOYDIR are meta tags used by webmasters to prevent search engines from showing descriptions from the Open Directory Project (ODP) or Yahoo Directory in their search results. They ensure that the site's own content is used instead of potentially outdated info.
2. The errors like 301, 403, 404, and 500 are HTTP status codes. A 301 error indicates that a page has permanently moved to a new location, while a 403 means access is forbidden. The 404 error tells people that the page isn't found, and 500 indicates a server error, which means something went wrong on the server's side.
3. NoFollow is an attribute added to links that tells search engines not to follow that link. It's used to prevent passing link equity to the target site and is often utilized in user-generated content.
4. PR, or PageRank, is based on the quantity and quality of links pointing to a page. It evaluates how important and relevant a page is according to how many backlinks it has.
5. Link Juice refers to the value or authority that's passed from one page to another through links. The more high-quality links pointing to your site, the more link juice you get, which can boost your SEO.
6. Google has its spider called Googlebot, while Yahoo's is known as Yahoo Slurp, and MSN's (now Bing) crawler is called Bingbot.
7. A web crawler is also called a spider or spider bot. It roams around the internet collecting data from websites.
8. You can recognize that your page is crawled by Google through Google Search Console. It provides information about crawl stats and indexes, helping you monitor if your pages are being indexed correctly.
9. There are multiple sources for getting traffic, such as organic search, direct visits, referrals, social media, and paid ads. Each channel plays a role in driving visitors.
10. A reciprocal link is when two websites agree to link to each other. This practice can boost traffic for both sites, but it's best when it's done naturally rather than excessively for SEO purposes.
Simple SEO tests are foundational techniques used to assess and improve a website's search engine optimization. These tests include checking for proper keyword usage, meta tag effectiveness, and page load speed. They also involve evaluating on-page factors like header tags, internal linking, and mobile-friendliness. By conducting these basic tests, website owners can identify areas for improvement, enhance search engine rankings, and boost overall site visibility. These tests are crucial for maintaining effective SEO practices and ensuring optimal website performance.
this is so helpful seo beginners as well as intermediates to learn and refresh.
"Thanks for sharing these simple SEO tests! It's always helpful to have practical ways to check the effectiveness of SEO strategies. I'll try out these tests to evaluate my site's performance and make improvements. Looking forward to implementing them and seeing better results!"

Good article , thanks and we want extra! Added to FeedBurner as nicely Instagream (https://www.instagram.com/)
To make sure your website is optimised and functioning properly, you must do basic SEO testing. The Page Speed Test, which assesses how quickly your website loads, is one simple test. Both search engine rankings and user experience are adversely affected by slow loading times. Google's PageSpeed Insights is a popular tool to measure this, a topic covered at the Best Digital Marketing Institute in Pune (https://digitalaacharya.com/).
The Mobile-Friendliness Test is another important test. Having a mobile-optimized website is essential since smartphone traffic is now higher than desktop traffic. The performance of your website on mobile devices is displayed by tools such as Google's Mobile-Friendly Test. To make sure your headings, meta descriptions, and title tags are appropriately optimised, you may also look for Meta Tag Optimisation.
You can identify dead links on your website that could negatively impact SEO and user experience by using a Broken Link Test. Finding and resolving these problems is made simple by tools like Dead Link Checker. Last but not least, using a Keyword Position Test reveals where your content appears in search results and lets you monitor the ranking of your targeted keywords.
1. Check for Mobile-Friendliness
Test: Use Google's Mobile-Friendly Test to see if your website is optimized for mobile devices.
Why: Mobile optimization is a significant ranking factor, as a growing number of users access sites from mobile devices.
2. Verify Page Loading Speed
Test: Use Google's PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix to measure your page load times.
Why: Faster load speeds improve user experience and are a ranking factor, particularly for mobile searches.
3. Check for Indexing Issues
Test: Search for "site
.com" in Google to see which pages are indexed.
Why: This ensures Google has indexed the important pages, which is crucial for them to appear in search results.
4. Test for Broken Links
Test: Use tools like Screaming Frog or Ahrefs to scan for broken links.
Why: Broken links negatively affect SEO by hurting user experience and limiting crawler accessibility.
5. Review Title Tags and Meta Descriptions
Test: Manually check pages to ensure unique, relevant, and keyword-optimized titles and meta descriptions.
Why: These elements are essential for both search engine understanding and click-through rates.
6. Verify HTTPS Security
Test: Ensure your site uses HTTPS (look for the padlock icon in the browser).
Why: HTTPS is a ranking factor, and users expect secure connections, especially on sites where they provide personal information.
7. Test for Schema Markup
Test: Use Google's Rich Results Test to see if your structured data is correctly implemented.
Why: Schema helps search engines understand your content and can improve click-through rates with enhanced snippets.
8. Analyze Keyword Usage and Content Quality
Test: Review content to ensure primary and secondary keywords are naturally integrated and relevant to the page.
Why: Relevant, high-quality content with strategic keyword usage is critical for ranking well.
9. Assess Internal Linking
Test: Ensure that important pages are well-linked throughout your site.
Why: Internal links help distribute page authority and guide both users and crawlers to key areas of your site.
10. Check XML Sitemap and Robots.txt
Test: Verify that your XML sitemap and robots.txt file are correctly configured and submitted to Google Search Console.
These files help search engines understand and crawl your site more efficiently.
