SEO Search Engine Optimization
You're ready to invest in establishing an online presence, you've decided on web design and web designers, and its time to think about some of the things in addition to web site design that can make or break any new site. The most important of these is frequently ignored by new web site owners and many web designers as well, and new sites by the thousands inevitably fail because of it. We're talking about Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. Without optimization for the major search engines, most web pages, however nicely designed, are doomed web pages.
Let's face it: Even the flashiest website, the catchiest web page, the epitome of web design is useless if no one can find their way to the finished product. Even the greatest of domain names can't help if no one has ever heard of it. That's why search engines are a site owner's best friend! In fact, 98% of all website traffic comes from several major search engines. When people search for services or products online, they use search engines to find them. Users simply enter search terms describing what they're looking for, and the search engine returns links to pages it interprets as being relevant to whatever terms the person used.
Someone might go to the search engine Yahoo!, for example, and search for "cruise ship limousines in miami". The search engine would then compare the millions of web sites it has indexed against those search terms and return results with those web sites it deems most relevant appearing first. Most people eventually take their business to a website that is listed within the top 5 links on page 1 of the search engine results pages.
That's where you want your site to be - at the top of page one in search engine results pages! How do you get there?
