Search engine optimization

Beautiful web design is only beautiful when it has an audience. Predominantly, that audience will be guided to your web site through the major search engines like GOOGLE , MSN and YAHOO. If your business web site is not properly optimized for search engines, you will miss out on traffic from your potential customers! Therefore, great web design combines an impressive visual feel with the technical demands of the major search engines. Realistic web designers understand this, and focus on creating web sites that look good both to the viewer and the search engine.

Search engine optimization has often been promoted as a 'black art'-- a secret skill known only by a few technical gurus. However, the real art of search engine optimization has more to do with employing common sense strategies in the web design process, and web site maintenance. Also, patience and time are key factors, as it often takes months for search engines to recognize any changes done to improve the web site.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is probably the least understood aspect of Web design and marketing. It’s a world of secret sauce, voodoo and complicated algorithms. The are few facts, no guarantees and lots of wishing on a star when it comes to SEO, and it doesn’t have to be that way. Sure, you could pay an SEO consultant to optimize your site for you. You could pay someone to recommend keywords and submit your site to popular search engines. You could do all of these things and more and still, there will be no guarantee that it will help your rankings. More importantly, there is no guarantee it will drive the visitors you want and need to make your site successful.

Rankings are important, but it’s relevant visits—those that turn visitors into customers—that really matter. While SEO has its complications, it is simpler than it has been made to be.

Simple ways you can optimize your site for search exist that are little more than well-applied common sense, a plan and some know-how. When it comes to SEO, and driving relevant visits, you will get the most bang for your buck by getting your content in order, having your site built the right way and taking the time to manage it and keep it fresh. Content is, and always will be, king. The most important thing you can do to assure your site is optimized for search is to provide great, relevant content. Put (very) simply, the best kind of Web content is relevant to your customers’ (and potential customers’) needs, and written with the Web in mind. Search engines are all about indexing content. Without content, no amount of SEO trickery is going to help you in the long run.

By helping engines help people who are looking for information, you’re not only providing a service and making the Web an easier place to be, you’ll be helping increase your ranking and relevancy with search engines. When you’ve got good, current and relevant content people want to read—you’ve got something others may also want to link to. Inbound links matter most When it comes to SEO, the most important factor as it relates to ranking in a search engine, is how many inbound links you have and the quality of those inbound links—other highly ranked sites linking to your site are worth more that lower ranked sites. If you can provide content people want to link to, you’ll move up in the rankings.

The last two major sites that V1biz has optimized for search engines are both good examples of businesses that are at the forefront of their niche markets. Chopperline, based on the Sunshine Coast, has great content and many inbound links. If you do a Google search for Helicopter license,  you will see Chopperline at they at number one. Chopperline train people to pass their helicopter license and the content of the site reflects exactly that. Totaladventures is a company  that  offer adventure camps to schools.   Again this  site has good content, but unusually not many inbound links. However V1biz managed to get them also to number one in Google search by ensuring key word saturation,. Have a look yourself -  just type in adventure camps!   

Before you go with any web design company have a look at their sites and their search engine rankings - Good search engine rankings are paramount to the success of your site!!
