Search Engine Optimization

You've built that great website but you're not getting any hits. As we've said before, it's not as easy as they say. Building a website is easy; making one that works is a whole different story. Search engine optimization is the process whereby you match what you are trying to target with the right wording so that search engines will index your web site or page to the right set of keywords. Take this page for instance, our target is "search engine optimization" and we are looking for people who want to get better placement on the search engines. By selecting the right amount of words and the right placement and the right metatags we are guiding the search engines towards this page and helping them associate us with the keywords "search engine optimization". We're talking about "search engine optimization" and matching a searcher's needs with the information we have. This satisfies the needs of the searcher, thereby satifying the needs of the search engine and hopefully, when a visitor comes to our site they will be suitably impressed and call us to do the same thing for them.

It is important that you not try to go around the system or trick search engines in any way. They are in the business of helping people navigate the Internet, and by providing this valuable service they get many visitors. They in turn use the fact that they have many visitors to sell advertising. It's very much a win-win-win situation. Everybody is getting what they want, and streamlining the process as it goes. That is why search engine optimization is so important. Do it correctly and it works for you; do it incorrectly and it works against you. Because the time it takes to keep up with the different engines' rules it is better to hire a professional to do this for you, particularly if you have a good product to sell.

The old adage of build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door was a bit optimistic. It might have been more accurate to say "the guy with the biggest ad budget usually wins." The Internet is changing that some. Build a better mousetrap and you can show people how to get to your door. It levels the playing field somewhat. Still, don't forget, you do have to work on that mousetrap!
