Indexes and Search Engines
Submitting your URL to Internet Search Engines and Indexes is one of
the most popular ways to make your site known to the world. Our Submission Services
page is a good reference to begin with when adding your URL to search
engines. Various search engines index sites according to different
criteria, so we recommend that you find out whatever information you
can about a service before submitting your URL, and prepare your site
in whatever way is needed to achieve the best possible results.
Content is King
You have to fulfill a need for information. If you do not, your SEO campaign is sure to run into problems.
I started off offering SEO as a sidebar to web design and web copy
writing. Now I offer it alone, and the first thing I advocate when I
get an SEO job is that the whole site be designed around the content.
Huge graphics, animations, even product listings are not desirable, as
I seek to replace them with content that answers queries and searches.
Hiring a development consultant that is knowledgeable in the art of
search engine optimization to guide your site's creation can help to
ensure that you don't fall prey to these types of problems. Fixing
structural issues often requires an entire makeover of your site resulting in thousands and thousands of wasted dollars.
If search engine marketing is important to the success of your site, you must design it to be as "search engine friendly"
as possible from the start. Web designers and developers often do not
realize that text contained within graphics, especially text inside
Flash files, cannot be indexed by spiders. You cannot rely entire on
Meta tags to attain top ranking positions, Content Is King!
We will work directly with your developer, to
ensure that your site isn't doomed to failure from the start. We will
recommend proper technology usage, coding convention, and alternatives
to areas that we consider to be problematic all while explaining the
reasoning behind our recommendations as well as
advantages/disadvantages.
"In
general, webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by
increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their
pages." Google
