    will ask you to fill out a questionnaire at the start of SEO portion of our

    reports, and research of popular search words for your target audience.

    major engines.

    search engines can crawl and index multiple pages on your Web site.
  3. Additional Marketing Options:At this stage, we will recommend additional marketing options (i.e. bid for
    placement, email marketing, etc.) to further efforts for attracting
    target audiences
    to your site, keeping them there, and getting them
    to come back.

    following submissions, then one month following, and again in 30 day
    increments. These reports will include: tracking of rank positioning on the
    major engines/directories, evaluation of visitor traffic and audience
    behavior, link profiles vs. competitor links, and documented trends and
    changes in your target market. With these reports, we will provide an
    analysis and action item list to further/continue efforts to reach your
    online goals.

    trends, competition growth, and changes in targeted audience behavior. This

    competitive edge and continuous ROI growth. We will recommend a schedule for
    periodic reporting and ongoing marketing efforts.

Google Rules

January 24, 2009 · Posted in SE Guidelines · Comment 

More than any other search engine, Google is helping webmasters and search engine marketers keep better track of their sites in Google’s index. The past few years have seen a variety of tools and help from Google aimed at making it easier for site owners to get their web site indexed and ranked.

But before using the many resources that Google has available, make sure that your site is compliant with Google’s technical and quality guidelines. You can access the full list here.

Important Google guidelines:

  1. Review the general guidelines for all search engines
  2. Create a Google Sitemap
    Google now offers a variety of tools to communicate with site owners. One of these – Google Sitemaps – can help you tell Google’s spider which pages you’d like included, their importance and how often you’d like your site revisited.

    For more information, visit Google’s Webmaster Tools.

  3. Use relevant keywords on your pages
    Ask yourself how you’d like your customers to find you and make sure that these terms are included on your pages. You can use Google’s Webmaster Tools to see which keywords are viewed as important for your web site by Google (choose “Page Analysis” under the “Statistics” tab).

  4. Use text, not images or Flash
    Don’t hide your keywords inside images or Flash files. Search engines can’t see this text, which means that it doesn’t add any relevance to your pages.

  5. Use Lynx to check your site
    Google offers a very useful tip for webmasters: Use a text browser, such as Lynx, to check how search engines view your web sites. If you see that your keywords are hidden behind JavaScripts or template files, redesign your site so that it becomes easily accessible to a search engine spider.

If you’d like to have your site indexed and ranked by Google, we recommend making use of the numerous resources Google now has available for web site owners:

  • Google Webmaster Tools
    Includes Sitemaps, Page Analysis, crawl statistics and other tools
  • Google Help for Webmasters
    Comprehensive FAQs for web site owners
  • Google Webmaster Blog
    This is an official blog maintained by Google for webmasters. It includes tips, latest news and updates
  • Google Webmaster Discussion Group
    This discussion board is moderated by Googlers. You can ask general questions and talk to other site owners about Google indexing and ranking issues
  • Matt Cutts
    Matt Cutts, a software engineer at Google, blogs about Google, SEO and other things. Unlike the Google Webmaster Blog, Cutts’ blog is unofficial, but it still has plenty of useful insights and tidbits.
