Search Engine Optimization!

Do you want your website to rank better? Make more sales? Inform more people? Well SEO, also known as search engine optimisation is the way to go. The art of SEO is getting your web site found on the web -- in Google, Yahoo, Bing and any other directory you want. Most people who search the web only look at the first page of the results in a search engine -- some will go to the 2nd or 3rd pages, but thats about it.

So how do you make that first page? Well depending on the keywords, it may or may not be possible. Trying for a local bookstore to be ranked number 1 for books in google probably wont happen no matter what you are promised by some company. If a SEO firm promises that, they just lied to you. Now what they can do in a 6 to 12 months is get you ranked for "best small bookstore" or other search term that will increase your business. Also what they can try to do is to get you ranked locally on page 1, or regionally. And thats really what most small businesses want. In a lot of cases you dont care about a customer 2000 miles away, what you really need is for the people in the local area to find and buy from you. So how do you do it? Well there are a lot of steps to do if you want a better ranking in search engines.

1. We will check your website and page names to see if they are SEO friendly.

2. Work on creating relevant backlinks to your site!

3. Add a blog and become an expert in your field -- search engines love fresh relevant content!

4. Optimize your web pages for the keywords you want. Also check page sizes etc.

Does this sound like a lot of work? It is! But there are tools out there to help. We use several tools, including our latest, Advanced Web Ranking. Done right your site can start to improve in just a few months!

One last item to beware of -- do not use any company offering black hat techniques. You do NOT want to be banned by google!
