    It’s often been blogged that having keywords in titles is of paramount importance to your search engine ranking. As true as this maybe – people also forget that their content needs to actually be appealing and start to bring in traffic that is interested in what you have to say.

    Search Engine Optimization Gone Sour

    Search

    Speaking from experience, Search Engine Optimization can go sour very quickly. When I realized just how important it is to the survival of not just my business but my very being, I quickly began to set a direction for the process and have come up with a few Web Task Sheets. I call them that because they give me a complete understanding of what I need to keep doing in order to keep ranking well. I am not talking about ranking number one on Google but rather about ranking well enough to get my companies and ideas out into the world.

    It takes time and concentration and is a rather demanding job which only becomes encouraging when there are real results to look at.

    It has become increasingly difficult to get to the top of the major search engines in recent years as the likes of Google and Yahoo! have changed their criteria for how they rank websites. Many old techniques such as metatags and reciprocal links have lost their effectiveness. However, despite these changes, article submission remains one of the most effective ways to gain incoming links that will boost your website’s popularity among the major search engines.

    While there are many other aspects to search engine optimization (SEO), article submission can be a cheap and effective way to help you get that coveted spot on the first page of the search engine results for keywords relating to your business.

    At the heart of successful SEO is determining what keyword or keywords to use when optimizing a website. The prevalence of a specific word or phrase on a webpage is critical to influencing SERP (Search Engine Result pages) ranking. In most cases websites should be optimized for multiple keywords, and a simple way to do this is to optimize different sections or pages with different keywords.

    Often, a website will survive and thrive based on the quality of its design. This is because a well designed website will help deliver the intended purpose of the site. In other words, if the site’s goal is to sell health products, a properly designed site will have a greater chance at delivering this goal than a site that is poorly composed. As such, it is important to look at 7 elements that can greatly enhance the design of a website.

  • Why More Traffic Just Isn't Good Enough Anymore

    With more complex algorithms that factor in local, personal and universal search features, search rankings are not always consistent. Today’s results often depend on a user’s location, their search history and their behavior with the search results – sometimes you can see different search results for the same search terms, even on two different computers in the same location.One question many businesses have when hunting for a search engine optimization (SEO) company is, “Will this company know us and our audience well enough to turn our web business into something profitable, worthy of our investment?” Unfortunately, it’s not easy to discern the answer before you are three months into an agreement.

    Web Traffic vs. Engagement
    Is the goal of SEO to get as much traffic as possible to a website? Many SEO companies will lead you to believe that more traffic is all there is to it. Granted, getting more traffic is a part of it, but more eyeballs on a web page do not necessarily mean achieving your business goals.

    Look at your web analytics – specifically the keywords that brought in the majority of traffic – then evaluate the quality of this traffic over the past month or quarter. A high bounce rate and low average time on site for visits from a particular keyword can indicate one or all of these:

    • Searcher cannot find anything relevant to her keyword and bounces.
    • Searcher may find something relevant, but the page does not communicate directly with her intent… so she bounces.
    • The keyword is not relevant for the site.
