Did you know that search engines are the main sources of
traffic for almost every website? And that
poorly optimised websites get almost none of
this.
Many
website designers do not realise that in
order to rank highly for Search Engine Registration,
you not only need to submit your
website to the major and minor search
engines and link lists, with Meta Tags,
Keywords, Description etc, but, from
conception, every aspect of the site optimisation must be considered.
Although
we do not wish to show other designers how
to achieve what has taken us years to
discover, let us say that to rank highly in
search engines, there are many, many
variables, all of which must be considered
from the design stage onwards. The tricky
bit is that each search engine uses a
different algorithm to determine the website
ranking, and this is changing quite
frequently. Search
Engine Optimisation ( SEO ) as well as
ongoing site placement monitoring and re-submission,
can be provided, whereby we will re-tune and
re-submit your site on a
regular basis.
To
get the most from your website, we
advise all our clients to use their site
as an adjunct to their other promotion. e.g.
if a client used to have a budget for
promotion, then spread the budget totally
differently, with a high proportion being
used for their online presence and being
easily found in the search engines. Say,
our client used to spend a large amount on the
Yellow Pages, Television, Pamphlets, Cinema
etc. We suggest to spend much less on their
other promotion, build a magnificent website
with the cost saving made, and use the other
promotion to boldly promote their
website and to funnel traffic to it, and become
more search engine friendly. The
net result will be slightly less conversions
from the other promotions, but a huge amount
more of total conversions from the
website at a much less cost. And once a
website is up, it is up forever with only
minimum annual registration and hosting
costs.
But
dollar for dollar, search engines and online
promotions are the best value advertising
available today. A business web site will do
far better if it ranks highly in the major search engines
and directories. Make sure that yours can.
Different
companies have different ways of promoting
their web sites, often budget dependent.
Unless you have a massive advertising budget
to plaster your domain name on billboards,
taxis, city buses and prime time television
then you will need to be listed in the search
engines.
Even
if you do have a massive advertising budget
you will still want to be visible on the
search engines and directories.
We can arrange a Premium
Submission Service which will register your site with
several major and hundreds of thousands,
minor search engines,
directories, blogs and link sites. Registration
with the main search engines such as Google, Yahoo,
Alta Vista, is made manually
to ensure correct placement of your site.
For
"Do it yourself" Search Engine
Submission, you may try here.
Most search engines and search directories now have
a paid priority submission service which we
can arrange for you if you require it.
Other
excellent options are pay per click, where a
paid keyword relevant search brings up your
ad or submission, and you only pay if a
viewer clicks through to your site. Talk to
us for more detailed advice on how to make
your website work for you.
