Search Engine Optimization.

What is SEO, Search Engine Optimization.

Search Engine Optimization is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic the site receives from search engines. Firms that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus, while others take a more broad and general approach. Optimizing a web site for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization (since so many of those elements intertwine).

How an SEO campaign can help your business

Search engines are always working towards improving their technology to crawl the web more deeply and return increasingly relevant results to users. However, there is and will always be a limit to how search engines can operate. Whereas the right moves can net you thousands of visitors and attention, the wrong moves can hide or bury your site deep in the search results where visibility is minimal. In addition to making content available to search engines, Search Engine Optimization can also help boost rankings so that content that has been found will be placed where searchers will more readily see it. The online environment is becoming increasingly competitive, and those companies who perform SEO will have a decided advantage in visitors and customers.

Top Five SEO Myths

1. In-House SEO Is Cheaper

Less than 1 percent of the marketing budget goes to SEO, leaving corporate Web sites improperly optimized. SEO pros can get better rankings faster because submission is complex, technical, ever changing, and has a steep learning curve. Outsourcing is cost-effective because the pros get economies-of-scale after initial outlays in personnel, technology, and process development. In-house SEO lacks cost maximization.

2. It’s a One-Shot Deal with Submission Software

Submission software promises the moon. But how can software get the same kind of results reputable vendors provide for a fraction of the cost? There’s no way software can identify keywords automatically or optimize your content and HTML coding. All the engines have specific submission guidelines that change regularly. It’s not one size fits all and no software program can customize and update to the degree required to maintain top listings.

3. Top Rankings Guaranteed or You’re Money Back

Money-back guarantees are worthless in search engine positioning because outcomes are always unpredictable and ever-changing. Technicians cannot control the search engines.

4. We’ll List You in Thousands of Search Engines

Submission software claiming to “Submit to 1,500 directories and search engines” gets you listed in many FFA (Free for All) engines. FFAs don’t compare to directories and engines like Yahoo! and Google, and your name gets on email spam lists.

5. Once You Achieve Good Rankings, You’re All Set

Search engine positioning requires trial and error, and success is ephemeral. Today’s top listings will change tomorrow or even on an hourly basis. Maintaining positioning requires constant monitoring and tweaking. It can’t be guaranteed, and it’s not permanent once achieved.

So let’s begin.

Polson Website Marketing Simplified

by

Website Marketing, it is a common misconception that creating a website is simply a matter of the old adage “build it and they will come”.  The idea that once the website is finalized and online that droves of new internet business will occur purchasing every item you are selling, causing a backlash of unfilled orders and requiring you as the business owner to add space dedicated to your online business to keep up with the overwhelming demand is not necessarily how the reality of your online presence will unfold.

Although website marketing utilizing different rules then red brick and mortar marketing, the principles remain the same.  Some low cost marketing tips for your website include;

Choose a good, easy to remember domain name:

As a website development company we see a great assortment of domain name options.  Some points that we try to encourage our customers to consider are;

can one person say the domain to another without having to spell it, or otherwise have a deep conversation on it.

Consider this, let’s say you develop a website and are going to do some radio advertising.  Can the radio announcer say your domain on air, and have a person driving a car recall it two hours later?  If the name of your business is Professional Flathead Lake Real Estate Management, which is a good brick and mortar business name, but how about on the web.

Can a person say that name to another person and have them remember it?  More then likely not, this name is too long, and too many chances for a typo.  However, with a little creativity the online address could be Flathead Lake Rentals.com , or Rentals on Flathead Lake.com.  Both of which can be spoken and remembered easily.

Advertise your website on all of your marketing material:

A common issue we see with new website business is a lack of exposure.  This issue is exemplified when a company spends the marketing dollars to build an online presence, but fails to spend the word, or create a buzz.  Once a website is complete and online it is imperative to drive traffic to it.  The most cost effective and easiest way to do this is put your website address on every piece of marketing material your business hands out.  Business cards, flyers, orders, receipts, and emails are just a few examples of the easy ways to do that.

Develop a search engine marketing campaign:

Search engine marketing, often called search engine optimization, or SEO is a fairly basic principle that is often overlooked.  The concept is this, Do the key word phrases that someone would type into a search box actually exist on your website.  This term is called keyword relevance.  An example might be a real estate agent who builds a website and is marketing their skills and services.  They might explain how they have been selling real estate for 20 years, and how they have this certification or degree.  Although this information is important, it is not going to help an internet user find your website.  The internet user doesn’t know this specific real estate agent exists.  The internet user does however know they want to purchase real estate on Flathead Lake. Homepage copy that is written with a specific keyword phrase in mind, such as Real Estate on Flathead Lake will without a doubt, produce better search engine rankings for the website.

These simple low-cost options will assist your website in being found on the internet.  Once your website has positive search engine rankings and is producing sales then you can worry about having to add space to and hire new people to handle all of those new internet sales.
