SEO Basics – Starting With Search Engine Optimization Basics

by Bruce Clay, Inc

SEO basics start with the composition of the words on your pages and what intrinsic value they offer your audience. The first prerequisite of SEO is understanding the basic correlation of content composition and the impact that content has on rankings respecitively.

Relevance is the underlying criteria that search engines reward, if your content is specific, informative and manages to acquire click through traffic, then your pages have the trappings of becoming popular which is a component to acquiring a top 10 ranking.

Aside from the title tag, (the main tag you use to describe the content of the page) and the links that endorse your content through back links (links from other sites)and the copy (which is completely under your control). There are fundamental guidelines you can adhere to that will assist you in keeping your content on topic to elevate topical relevance.

What are Search Engines?

Search engines are a cataloging system that are essentially transparent in their composition. Search engines are expected to glean information and organize data from thousands of unique industries, compile that data and then, based on the fetch command you issue as a result of you entering a boolean query in the search box are then expected to retrieve the most relevant result.

Understanding the premise of how search engines function rather than struggling to adapt and muscle your way up the SERPs (search engine result pages) is far easier instead.

Through appeasing the laws of their construction (the mathematical algorithm, teamed up with it’s ability to gain contextual artificial intelligence like phrase rank algorithm, search engines have the ability interpret the context of your pages.

Your focal point is simply to provide the ideal (relevant) result according to their ranking criteria. Which falls into three categories.

These three measuring sticks search engines use to assess content in addition to semantic synonyms and related phrases are called allinanchor, allintitle and allintext.

Talk about green widgets enough on your page, they know your page is about green widgets (allintext), placing it in the title is also a great way to signal the plane (allintitle) or get enough links from other pages that say your site is about green widgets and even if it is or not, it can potentially rank for that or related phrases (allinanchor).

That in a nutshell is how SEO basics play out according the the search engine spiders (the little programs that scour the web looking for new or exciting information to report back to the index).

The next part of SEO basics will cover how to ensure that your content is spider friendly or how to invite search engine spiders to skim, index and rank your content.

In closing, the gist is (1) make your titles unique (2) keep your writing style focused and use key words (words containing the phrases you want to rank for) as well as develop as many on topic links from other sites to cement your position in the search engine result pages.

Just writing about it on your site is not enough, unless you sites has hundreds of thousands of strong links pointing at in, in which case it can rank on the title tag alone. That is called website authority and is yet another topic we will be covering in the future.

The most relevant search result is the one that makes it to the top 10. There are no secrets involved, just logical relevance, but popularity counts so don’t just write dry content.

The whole exercise of SEO is to get traffic from people. Since people pay the bills and not spiders, make sure you have something worth saying and they will take notice and pass it along.

Otherwise, you are only helping your competition by leaving your guests hungry or thirsty for more topical information about your subject. In which case, they will simply return to the search engine and click the next result in the list. So, the bottom line is user engagement aside from topical relevance and traffic.

I was wondering as what to consider as the basic SEO Guidelines, while creating the website?

Hi,

I am developing a website, and was eager to know what all I should consider for Search Engine Optimization, while developing my website.

Thanks

Keywords are definitely a big deal. The general rule of thumb is that you’ve got to please Google because it’s the biggest search engine in the world, and if Google sneezes, all other websites follow suit.

Each page of your website should have 300-600 words with your keyword sprinkled throughout it 10-15 times. I’ve seen somewhere that 5 times is usually enough, so you might want to start out with five. This allows Google to pick up your keyword and index it.

Secondly, you need find out what kind of competition you might have. Type in a keyword or a keyword phrase in google related to your niche. If you get 2 million search results or less, you’ve got a good keyword phrase for a homepage. 3 million or less, you’ve got a keyword page for other pages in your website. Anything more than 3 million, you’re going to have a hard time getting noticed.

Third, you’ve got to make sure that keyword has enough of a search market. Anything less than 400 searches per month is lousy. You’re not likely to make sales. Go to Wordtracker Free Keyword Tool. Type in your keyword or keyword phrase.

Wordtracker gives daily search counts. So multiply the daily search count by 30. This will give you a monthly count. 400 or more, good deal. Less than 400, look for a different keyword.

Live From Madison Square Garden, SEO Vs Sem!

A great evening in Manhattan, a fantastic atmosphere in Madison Square Garden. Web business people is waiting this match for a long time. One side there is Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing on the other, both seems fit and there is desire to win on face. Last years both sides challenged to other but they never came to face to face. Before the match starts, lets take a short look to their career, strength and weaknesses.

Called SEO is short term of Search Engine Optimization. A milestone in web business since the search engines are the main source for web users before they buy services or products online. Finest and most trustable data source with their high indexing capacity and different logical algos working on the back round may depend on your rankings while results are listed. As most web users do not look much after the 3rd pages of results, web business owners are directly influenced. A web surfer can be your client if your web site is ranked at the top of search results but how you get listed at the top of a major engine? Even there are different algos powering the search engines the main theory is mostly same, simple algo stands on location and frequency. A crawl base search engines use spiders a web site and classifies with different principles to define the ranking. A fact about algo can be changed or improved for search quality. I’am sure all professionals will remember Florida Update on Google. Indeed it was an earchquake more than an update, many results were changed or disappeared on Google, some high rankings even lost from the index. Actually general Google algo is formulated as Relevance Score , PageRank , Local Score with other tweaking , tuning or filtering aspects. Main development point of a search algo is how much off page factors are important and their degrees take part in your algo. The theory on here is not giving much control to webmasters with on page factors .Other search engines do not use Page Rank since Page Rank is a trademark which belongs to Google. Avoiding any spamming , manipulation trials, over optimization or even cloaked content, engines are modifying or changing the degrees ,adding new variables on their algo time to time but all work done is to provide higher search relevancy and quality for users. (Relevance score is SEO efforts, Page Rank is Link building efforts for Google and Local Score is links from expert documents) As seen from the formula, SEO efforts only work on relevance score and vary your ranking 10% if you hired a SEO professional but this can increase 18% if your SEO is master level. I would like to talk about Yahoo and Live search engines’ secrets either but as mentioned they are my professional secrets for now, if you don’t know these, its impossible to get top results on Yahoo or Live.

Search Engine Marketing (Pay Per Click) is paid inclusions as seen Sponsored Results on engines based on pay per click. This marketing tool has been increased enormously in these years, even with expensive per click rates. In some keywords or phrases a click may cost 10€ ( online dating industry) whether visit converts to a lead or not. Ads buyers are ready to pay these high per click bills because SEM efforts bring more revenue than they spent. How this technology works while displaying the ads? Lets say few words about Google Adwords. Google has 2 different networks such as search network and content network. Search network means Google powered search results that you may see on any website with a search bar using Google’s search technology. Content network is different spidering technology and matching the search query and web site content. If you have a web site with high quality and useful content, you may apply and get involved Google’s Adsense network to make money. Google will classify your content and display related ads when a search query is matched as you have probably seen Ads by Google on web.

If SEO and SEM are powerful marketing tools which is the best and effective on sales conversion rates? This is the fatal question, both have advantages changing to the case, then lets compare:

A)In SEM, your web site does not need a change in most cases. If you want high conversion rates, a SEM professional should prepare high quality landing page is necessary only, not your entire design. On the other hand SEO may require some major design changes to get good spidering by engines.

B)PPC Ads charged when clicked only, displaying your ads will not cost you anything but poor Click Through Rates will increase your minimum per click costs. SEO visits are free of charge as visitors comes by clicking the natural search results from a search engine. Most visitors likely to trust a site they find on a search engine, they feel like natural results have been approved by the search engine.

C) SEM brings very quick results to analyze your campaign while SEO effects can take long time on ranking. On Adwords, just 15 minutes is enough to display your campaign on screen but SEO results may take up to 3 months on engine’s ranking.

D) ROI and Conversion rates are higher in SEM because you may design different landing pages according to your major products or services with price charts, feature comparison tables .However in SEO, you can not make these much because your most powerful PR page is your homepage so your sub pages which includes your product specification will not get listed higher than your main page.

E) Targeting is easy in SEM with campaign settings option. You may target national ,regional or international geographical areas depending on your shipping options. Google has features to promote your local business with accessing your business address or just selecting distribution area on Google Map. Another useful tool is matching options are enables you to select broad ,phrase,exacxt or negative matches while displaying your ads.When you prefer SEO, you can not prepare different target pages as they will be sub pages and will not get listed higher than your main page as above.

F) SEM limits you with your budget because your ads campaign will stop displaying when your daily, keywords or monthly budget is reached while SEO results longer even months after optimization work is done.

Finally who wins this match? Well, this depends on your expectation, budget and targets from your campaigns. As long years professional , I dont have a preference . Each business needs different campaigns, you may select to attract new clients in both tools while achieving your corporate targets.

Ladies and Gentlemen, unforgettable match is about to start in Madison Square Garden, please sit back and watch this.

Are Frames an Impediment to your Seo Campaign?

Frames are easier to eliminate than dynamic pages. Google assesses static pages much better than dynamic ones. Frames con fuse spiders, because each frame on a page behaves like a separate page in some ways.Google doesn’t penalize for dynamic generation, but the spider usually backs off from these portions of a site, for fear of generating huge numbers of pages.Google can’t index this page because it can’t read the words.In creating the overall page structure of your site, the question isn’t so much how long your pages should be,but how focused.

The Google spider responds well to the same site qualities that visitors value.When Google’s spider encounters an image on the page, it recognizes the filetype (.jpg or .gif in most cases), but it can’t see the image, interpret it, or recognize any text that might be part of the image. Ideally, these niched keywords are reflected in each page’s title, meta tags, and the text of incoming navigation links. It understands text. Another great rule of thumb: convey your information in text, not graphics.Each separate and topically focused page has its own name and location, so your navigation links act as incoming links to those pages, helping establish them in Google. The golden rule of optimization is this: do unto Google as your visitors would have you do unto them.

Frames are really not as hard as you think, once you get the basics down. The one thing you have to remember when using frames is that you will have to create several different pages just to have one page: this task will help your site to rank better in the search engines. Each frame is it’s own page and the main page is also it’s own page. Then you have the frame page that puts them all together into one page. The frame page is the page that people will come to. The main page and the frames will show up on the frame page as long as you tell them to.

As such, content design is closely associated with page design, which is likewise concerned with layout, the division of content, and the density of keywords per page.Page design is a broader consideration, including the overall look-and-feel of the page on which your content sits.Your content elements consist of the information on the page, all of which, ideally, is textual.Colors, tables, navigation menus, and links — these are all page design elements. It might be strange to think of “content design. Don’t create wild mixtures of incompatible foods.

Optimizing webpages for a better ranking is constantly changing and demands skills and practice as explained in seo services and on the italian language optimization side in promozione sito

This Single Article Wields a Powerful SEO Influence Over Its Readers Giving Them a Magical Gift

Being a website owner with at least one website to promote and indeed on the internet with the intention to attract potential purchasers of your software, goods or services, it is imperative that prior to allowing your website to go live or not long after, you must ensure the website is capable of not only attracting potential purchasers to your website, but also to entice the potential purchaser to buy your product or service as the priority must be to turn visitors to your website into satisfied purchasers, as increased traffic will only increase the website bandwidth which ultimately will increase the financial burden – more bandwidth usually the web hosting provider will insist on increasing the cost of your web hosting.

One thing concerning owning any type of website, especially when burdened by paying the never ending monthly web hosting subscriptions, is attracting targeted visitors, as without targeted visitors to your website, there will definitely be no sales, and no website sales will always mean no sales, no profits increases the stress of modern day living, and increases the burden and financial loss associated with website ownership, not only are you depriving yourself out of profit, worse your desire to own an unprofitable website is responsible for your financial headaches and stress which causes even more stress by being financially burdened by spending money every month on web hosting and being deprived of the benefits that financial security can offer.

Being a website creator and website owner I have asked the common question many times, why is my website not making money that I so often read about on forums and other related information websites. Unfortunately, this article would contain hundreds of pages if I explained the finer details of Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Website Promotion and Marketing and Website Advertising, I will probably get around to writing an article one day and explain in detail the secrets and expertise I have accumulated over the previous 30+ years of creating and owning websites – search on google.com is likely to find sources of SEO etc, written by researchers and not by writers who is writing from their expertise and experience in the subject, just recycled material usually from articles which is normally copied from copied many times writings over many years old and I consider the stale information useless.

But for now I need to concentrate on another very important aspect of search engine optimization which must be completed in the earliest period when you created the website or purchased usually a brand new website – hopefully not a template, as the chances of success with a template is usually zero rated, as google.com will normally avoid indexing a template website as there are thousands of exact replicas of the same template website on the internet – avoid buying template websites on eBay.com unless you are capable of re-creating the template into a unique website, the re-creation can be accomplished the hard work involved can bring tremendous wealth – buy a unique website, although more expensive with proper SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising will bring in welcome money each month. Avoid buying a website just for ads – google adsense etc, the rewards are minute – maybe a few dollars a month, unless you listen to the google adsense website sellers who will encourage you with millions just for you to buy their adsense website.

Software download websites have many advantages which can be beneficial especially if the software can be used by you to increase the saleability of your website to the websites visitors, remember for you and your website to survive on the internet for any period of time, your visitors must be converted into customers, if only a small percentage being converted. When I create a website my first priority in the early stages is to generate a system whereby to attract visitors to the website. Secondly, a system needs to used where a visitor can be beneficial in further attracting more visitors to the website and the cycle repeats in an endless motion.

But first, you may consider I am offering to myself two impossible tasks – some call it viral marketing, and honestly the completed system is effective over many years – old habits die hard, as they say, so how do I do it? The answer is easy as 1-2-3 all that is required is access to the webmasters hidden secret – website scripts, I mentioned software download websites as favoured type of software download websites well that true, though more specifically the download software websites I create sells webmasters scripts which I use to create and to further enhance my websites, as I own the full resell rights to the webmasters script software I am free to use the scripts in my website creations , in addition to sell scripts from my website I sell them in forums and on eBay.com – extremely versatile software, and definitely money spent as an investment.

Amazingly it really is a massive challenge to purchase the newest and updated webmasters scripts as a large number of script download websites was created when there was a website script craze about three to four years ago, unfortunately for the consumer the old scripts websites are still very profitable – the correct promotion and marketing techniques that is correctly practiced matures with age and improves with time passing and the adage is true today as its ever been, don’t repair whats not broken, in actual fact if the scripts websites are still earning a handsome profit why change it.

Firstly, back to the issue, of generating visitors by visitors. There is a new webmasters script which make it extremely easy for the visitor to tell a friend by email of the exciting website and contents and in so doing the script list the email address in an email listing, this script is very valuable as it identifies the visitors to your website as targeted traffic and they are so valuable to any website as they show an interest in your products. Unfortunately, there are different types of visitors, browsers who have no intention of purchasing products – they burden your bandwidth, and targeted visitors who show an interest in purchasing your product – that the reason why this cheap, simple and effective script is so valuable to your website and boost your subscriber list, which is important for viral marketing.

Another very useful webmasters script which must be explained as the script installs an ads rotator on the website, so if you are attracted by affiliate advertising as an addition to software downloads, then this is the webmaster script for you. This unique script offers the ability to the webmaster to decide which ads to display, show ads which give highest affiliate commissions, easy to use admin interface to edit, add or delete your ads, see the number of impression, see the click through rates of all the ads and many more benefits too many to mention.

I commented on the fact that purchasing website download templates is not recommended the simple reason being there are potentially millions of the very same – exact replicas of the template websites, being sold by hundreds of sellers; google.com will not index hundreds or even thousands of the exact same template websites. There is a very simple script that can easily convert a cheap template into a genuine and unique download software website; you must create unique Meta Tags and embedded  relevant keywords in the website text, for the newly created download software website – preferably selling scripts, as the template usually is devoid of Mata Tags and they are essential for major search engine indexing – indexing is where your website is listed with the search engines, your website must be listed to drive visitors through the embedded keywords to you website – no visitors, no traffic, no sales, no profit.

There is one excellent download scripts website (the website) which offers the two easy to use webmasters scripts which will boost your visitors and your profits, with the correct SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising, which should bring in some very welcome money per month – please don’t believe the hype from website sellers when they say sit back and watch thousands of dollars arrive in your bank account weekly, monthly this will not happen.

The download scripts websites is relatively new and offers the most up to date webmasters script money can buy – I know SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising I own it, the website, offers a large collection of eighty (yes 80) of the best scripts money can buy, including the two I have evaluated, some of the scripts are valued – recommended retail price, of nearly two hundred dollars (yes nearly $200), though because they are sold as a download software the potential purchaser will receive massive discounts, what even more surprising each of the eighty webmasters scripts are sold with Full Resell Rights – no hidden costs, or pre-conditions.

Now for the fun bit, how much is the individual scripts cost, that’s an easy question, the webmasters scripts are sold in one wholesale lot just one small initial price will allow you to download the eighty high quality webmasters scripts with full resell rights – sell them individually on eBay.com, sell one you will probably be in profit, fortunately the profit don’t stop there, with full resell rights why not use at least one of the webmasters scripts and create from a simple template- with the advice above, I will offer full support by email, and on a one to one basis – by email or newsletter, I will offer advise more revealing than in this article, on SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising. The webmasters script will make the task of creating you very own software download script website a breeze and I will be available to support by email or newsletter.

The download software scripts website is Resell You Can dot com, the eighty scripts are sold as a wholesale bundle but individually downloaded by the purchaser the eighty scripts are collected into 3 zip files, how many you download only you decide, but I suggest you will probably need the eighty webmasters scripts in time. It’s important that you download the scripts early as there is a time limit to actively access the download area. Download the scripts and save the files securely – memory pen maybe. Remember all the eighty webmasters script is sold with Full Resell Rights a potential money maker. Buy Now! And, in so doing securing the financial freedom you ever dreamed of, always desired and genuinely deserve.

I do make money on the internet, not enough to quit my day job, but a comfortable earner, but the correct SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising commits me for at least one solid week of my spare time. Following the week of hard work, I sit back and relax, occasionally, about 2 hours a week concentrate on further enhancing the website with SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising.

Software download websites – avoid cheap download software templates; will produce a good monthly income with the right SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising, the website promotion must be targeted for the correct website audience – webmasters for utilities, ebook for avid ebook readers etc, although website SEO, Website Promotion, Marketing and Advertising is the key to a successful money making website, as without the effort – not money, as I don’t pay for SEO etc, the website is unlikely to attract visitors and thus no visitors, no sales, no profit.

Software download websites is about the best websites to own, with respect to offering a product with no stock to maintain or goods to ship out – even shipping is becoming expensive; avoid the hassle by investing in a software download website – though again avoid a website template. What makes purchasing a software download website is the fact that you have available a download product you can sell at auctions like eBay.com, which is capable of earning money as a second source.

You must ensure when buying a software download website you receive the full resell rights to the downloadable software product, as full resell rights is now an essential requisite to selling any software on eBay.com, and ensure you have permission to sell the software with full resell rights in writing, otherwise you will have a hard time proving your case.

Writing Articles That Webmasters Love – Powerful Strategies For Successful Article Marketing

You are familiar with the mantra of “Content and Links”. You are excited and are very enthusiastic about marketing your articles. So many thoughts are running through your mind. What to write about? How can I be sure that Webmasters will pick up my article? Questions, Questions and Questions.

Look no further. Here are a few proven tips that get you started on the right track.

What does a publisher look for, in your article?

First and foremost, think for a moment that you are a Webmaster, browsing through the article directories. Which are the articles that you are most likely to pick and publish on your site? My answer would be, a good, well-written article that enriches the content of my website, that addresses a unique topic that’s useful to my regular readers and I would love if it is written with SEO in view such that my website draws traffic from search engines. Webmasters are your customers and their wish is your command, so to say.

Fill the Need – Spot an Opportunity:

Matt Cutts, who is currently running a video series on his blog and writes occasionally, has written an entry exclusively about writing useful articles. His advice is to fill a need with your article. (Very powerful suggestion after all SEO is all about content). And anytime you look for information on the web and could not find it, that should be registered an opportunity, according to Matt. He gives his “Changing the default printer for Firefox on Linux?” blog entry as an example.

His advice is to look for small niches that have no relevant content yet on the web. The added advantage here is that, SEO is relatively easy. Look at the title of Matt’s changing printer article and that tells you what keywords to intelligently use in your article. (If you are a user who needs this changing printer stuff, what would be your search phrases? That’s the key to a good article with SEO that webmasters love.)

In essence, as some SEO expert summarized, hard to find answers are the best marketed articles. Think about it. Your articles should enrich the web in general by making things easily accessible. It does not hurt to re-iterate the Mantra: SEO is about Content and Links!!

Fresh View Point – Have something new to offer

If the topic of choice for your article is a popular one, a hot topic that every one is talking about, be sure to address the issue from a totally different viewpoint. It could perhaps be a little controversial. This after all is the key to success in media business and article marketing is in the same genre. Imagine threads on various forums getting dedicated just to discuss your controversial view.

Pay attention to your Titles – Keywords in Titles

It is an established fact that publishers use your articles mostly to get traffic from search engines. Title plays a key role in this. Pack your title with relevant but most commonly searched terms. Your title tells your reader why they should read your article. Think about it. Sprinkle relevant keywords in your article. But, take care not to over do it.

Know your customers

Keep track of the websites that are publishing your articles. Alerting them of your new articles might be a good option. Perhaps you can even go one step ahead and ask them for subjects that they would like you to write about.

In summary:

1. Your articles should enrich the content of your publishers. Look for small niches that are yet to be addressed. Every failed search is an opportunity to tap into. Start small with these niches and slowly expand into related areas. Establish yourself as an expert. Article Marketing is a powerful way to build credibility.

2. If yours is a hot topic, it does not hurt to take a fresh yet controversial stance.

3. Write the article keeping SEO in view. Pay attention to Titles.

4. Know and keep track of your publishers. Direct contact with them can give you new areas to write articles about.

Article marketing is viral and if your article is good enough, it can go a long way and surprise you, the author, in many ways.

Get going and prosper!!

Is that web creator Wix.com really SEO friendly?

Ok, so we do web design, but we’re used to working in HTML, CSS, C++, JavaScript, etc.

We had a client contact us asking if they had already purchased their bandwidth, storage, and domain name from a site, if we could set it up for them. We agreed. (Saves us time)…

well it turns out it was wix.com where they purchased bandwidth, storage, and then a separate domain name hosted through a site they recommended.

Here is the thing. We don’t like using strictly flash based programs like wix.com. We signed up for the forum and found out several things were NOT available for use (HTML embedding, shopping cart that was actually usable, etc). We also found out wix.com is still in BETA version. (Nice to know now!)

Well it claim’s its SEO friendly. Our client asked us a few weeks ago why it wasn’t registering on google.com, yahoo.com or other search engines. We tried our hardest to get it to come up (Pardon me if I sound uneducated..my BF does most of the web design, I just help with what looks good & where)

It claims the free pages are SEO friendly. Well we tried to make our own free page to see how long it would take to show up. NEVER DID.

My BF asked their support team why it wasn’t showing up and we found a question that said it would take 10-15 days for google to pick up the site….(I’ve personally read it can take up to 6 months for a new site…)

This site has been up for MONTHS now, had plenty of searches and will still not come up. I’ve read that Flash made sites are VERY HARD for google and other search engines to pick up on. Is that true?

We found out through the "Ceo" of the company that wix uses a big SWF file for their main site (the actual place you sign up make your site etc.) then everyone’s individual site is ONE xml file. So bascially they have one SWF file running a million or so XML files.

Will this show up or should my client try to get his money back from them?

did you try using the 10 tags wix gives you under settings?

btw i’m also considering using wix to make a website for a small company but they don’t want to be limited to only having 10 tags so i’m trying to figure out if theres some way to get around that or if i should just dump wix. (my question –> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090816085645AAfZVFf) would you know anything about this matter?

SEO Success: Step One is Good Web Design

Creating a well-designed website is the first step in your
internet marketing strategy. Once the website has been created
and optimized, there are further techniques to employ that will
drive traffic to your website for successful, long-term results.
You wouldn’t consider opening a retail store in a major shopping
mall without signage and you shouldn’t consider having a nice
looking website designed without expanding your web presence in
order to be found on the internet. But unless the website is
designed correctly to begin with, follow-on SEO efforts will
have limited results at best. The following strategy overview is
designed to bring about productive SEO results:

- Create an attractive website that is complementary to your
company image and provides your targeted audience with
information about you, your company and your products and/or
services.

- Design a website that has a call-to-action in the form of a
purchase or providing you a contact, subscription or other
commitment from your visitor.

- Create a successful marketing arm for your overall business
promotion and marketing campaign to promote your business,
products and/or services with the many follow-on strategies that
drive traffic to your website.

- Become competitive in your industry and marketplace by meeting
or exceeding the industry marketing standards and attracting a
qualified audience for your products and/or services based on a
strong reputation.

- Generate and maintain or grow internet traffic to your website
resulting in a conversion of traffic into sales of your products
and/or services by evolving as your market demands.

This search engine optimization (SEO) strategy is composed of
several processes in three stages: 1) Good web design, 2)
Attracting attention from search engines and directories, and 3)
Creating long-term popularity on the internet. However, it all
starts with good web design. Website design is the foundation
and beginning of a successful internet marketing strategy. It is
true that there are websites on the internet that are
unattractive but somehow seem to work. If there are aspects of
these websites that work, imagine how well they could do if they
simply followed basic design implementation tactics that
resulted in a good image as well as simply pushed information
out to the viewer.

These basics are essential for Tier 1 success:

- Good web design will complement and enhance the company image
and offline marketing campaign products creating a corporate
branding if done well.

- Easy, logical navigation that leads the viewer deeper and
deeper into the web of information provided by the website will
keep the visitor on your site longer and give you more time to
sell your products or services.

- Attractive but quick-loading graphics that are pleasing to the
eye and meaningful to the website will guide the viewer along
the route you decide is important for explaining what you offer.

- Keyword usage that is search engine-friendly depends on how
the keywords are utilized, the placement of the keywords, the
frequency of the most important keywords and their relevance to
the website.

- Website coding that is lean, clean and without errors will
keep the search engines happy and your viewer seeing exactly
what you intended to offer.

- Relevance of content to the theme of the site is essential. Be
concise, to the point and focus on your goals. If you have
multiple themes and offerings, consider multiple websites to
address the different markets, then tie each website back to the
others by linking.

- Changing content that changes frequently and stays fresh keeps
your viewer returning and prevents the search engines from
treating your website as if it were stale news. A stale site
will be ranked lower by the search engines.

Content is king — it’s all about content, content, content. But
how that content is presented is what makes the difference.
