SEO Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optmization (SEO) is the most important part of web design. If you build it they won't necessarily come but if you build it properly they will come to your site and purchase your products and services. SEO is all about your ranking for keywords in search engines. If you sell T-shirts then when someone goes to Google and types in 'T-shirts' you want them to find your site. Now there are many other websites that sell T-shirts and they too want web surfers to find their websites so they can sell their product. The way search engines like Google rank websites is based on many factors but the most important of all is how well your website is optimized for the keywords you are trying to get listed for. If you want your site to rank higher than all those other T-shirt sites then you must do a better job of optimizing your site.

Organic Search Results

Now there are other factors involved in search engine ranking such as page rank, and link popularity which we discuss on the home page. Page rank and link popularity however will do you no good if you are not optimized for the keywords your business needs.

SEO has to do with what we call 'organic ranking', we are talking about the left side of the search engine page. The right side is for Pay-Per-Click advertising which we discuss on the PPC page. The left hand side of the search engine page is where most web surfers go to find what they are searching for. PPC or the right side of the page is becoming more popular but the left side of the page is still the most used. The only ways to get a higher position on the left side of the page is simply to do a better job on the coding of your website.

You want your website to be search engine friendly. The more the search engines like your page the better they will rank you for the keywords you are optimized for. SEO takes a lot of work but it more than pays for itself in the long term. I recommend most businesses to take a look at your SEO at least once every two years at the minimum and if you can afford it to keep up with your SEO on a monthly basis.

SEO pays for itself and can make great profits for your business. The more you pay for SEO the more you should get out of it.
