Search Engine Optimisation or SEO
is the generic term used to describe the process by which company
websites appear in a favourable position on the major search engines.
You know that to be successful your site needs to appear in the
top positions on the major search engines. You also know that
the higher your site is ranked, the more sales you’ll make.
But you need assurances that this process will be done efficiently,
effectively, and ethically.
At Web Informers© we specialise in improving your website's
positioning in order to take advantage of the 360 million daily
searches take place on the Internet search engines.
When you engage with Web Informers© we will undertake an
honest and thorough analysis of your website and make a series
of strategic recommendations. Whilst we can design websites (we
designed this one ourselves) it is not or core competency. Our
goal is to make your website seen by as many people as possible
and therefore get it generating revenue rather than costing you
money.
The aim of this section of the website is to introduce you to
the steps and procedures that our analysts will undertake as they
move your website into the top division of search engine results.
We explore:
What
is a Search Engine? The generic term for huge relational databases
that scour the Internet analysing web pages and logging information.
They take two major forms - those that require human intervention
and those that require non-human intervention:
Keywords:
Once a website has been developed, a website's relevancy and therefore
its search ranking is based on the keywords and keyword phrases
that appear on your pages and throughout the site. In short, they
describe the core topics of that particular page
Design
Considerations: Web design is critical when optimising your
website for the search engines. Many people consider the look
and feel of their site as number one priority. Design is important
but at Web Informers© we feel that a well designed site deserves
to be seen and used.
Submitting
a Site: In order to make your website seen you will need to
register it with the search engines. We recommend paying to have
a site submitted as it guarantees rapid inclusion. But remember
these payments specify rapid inclusion - not high rankings. Websites
and the individual pages still need to be optimised.
Doorway
and Gateway pages: Doorway pages are developed to rank highly
for a specific keyword or phrase. Gateway pages on the other hand
are designed not to be seen at all! They are of real use if a
business sells multiple products or are in an extremely competitive
market but we tend to use them rarely and as a final optimisation
resort.
Optimising
Framed website for Search Engines: Because of the way framed
web pages are created, search engine robots have a difficult time
spidering sites built in frames. As a general rule, search engine
robots are not very good at executing client-side code, and framed
pages are "built" on the client side. The best way to
make a website accessible to the robots is to take it out of frames,
but what can be done if the site absolutely must remain in frames?
Search
Engine Rage: While the Search Engines do their best to ensure
the end user receives relevant search results, you should do your
part to protect against marketing bullies. These inconsiderate
marketers have difficulty positioning their sites properly so
they turn to techniques, tricks and tactics that have been banned
or prohibited by the prominent and popular Search Engines.
Content
for Search Engines: Creating search engine friendly web pages
goes far beyond tweaking codes -- it's a delicate balancing act
between pleasing the search engine and the people who will ultimately
read (and act) on your content.
