What is SEO?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

SEO is very popular in internet marketing circles, and it is what causes a website to be found by search engines.  However, many people still do not know what it is.

SEO, or search engine optimization, is the practice of using relevant keywords in order to get a site ranked in a good position with the search engines.  By using SEO, you will be able to get a good search ranking and also target your customers.

The process begins by analyzing the business.  Then, keywords are found for that business.   The keywords are found by analyzing the competition and also the search habits of customers.  Then, the keywords are used in the site.

The site is optimized with the keywords.  Then, when search engines crawl the site, they see the keywords and then index the site accordingly.  This helps the site do well in the search rankings.

Sites that ignore SEO are not able to get a good search engine ranking. They end up getting left behind by the competition.  That is why it is so important.

SEO is an important part of creating an online presence.  It will help your site improve its rankings and it will help you get more customers.

Turkey, stuffing and spam

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Thanksgiving is tomorrow and we all know that its going to be a day full of food and enjoyment with friends and family.  Golden brown turkey, stuffing and probably still a few of you enjoy a nice can of spam.  But since we are computer geeks you know what crosses my mind when you talking about stuffing and spam… Yes you got it, keywords.  People think so highly of them selves when they show me their website and it has all of their keywords stuffed all behind the scenes, hidden on the bottom of the page in the same color as the background. It is just a horrible way to try and rank. These black hat seo techniques are what keep websites from ranking well and even getting blacklisted with google and other major search engines.

So tomorrow remember that stuffing and spam go well with turkey, just keep them away from your website.

Keeping it real at db Tech Design, your florida seo web design firm.

Optimizing your site for Keywords and Major Search Engines

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Today, website and webpage indexing is completed by large search engines such as Google and Yahoo.  These search engines scan your website and webpages for keywords and phrases, and quality content; before attaching a ranking to them.

This ranking is extremely important to online businesses as it determines the hit count, or how many people visit the website or webpage, by placement of the page.  The lower your website or webpage is listed on the page, the fewer the number of hits by visitors are obtained.  The ideal place to be located on the page is number one, of course, but anywhere between one and five is good, as most people will read the top five listings for information, trying to obtain unbiased content.

Although most search engines these days do not optimize your website or webpage by keywords there are still some smaller ones that do.  Therefore, when setting up keywords in your website or webpage Meta Tag, you should also ensure that those same keywords appear in the content; otherwise, the search engines could flag you as not being reputable and reduced your website or webpage indexed ranking.

When using keywords in your content to attract the search engine spiders to your website, a good rule of thumb is to keep your keyword saturation a minimum as not to appear as being “blacklisted” as a spammer.

If you’re unsure about keywords and indexing your business would be wise to hire the services of a web design company that specializes in SEO (search engine optimization). So before you go spaming up your website with the wrong keywords. Give us a call today and we can help you out! 407-572-5026

Duck, Duck, Duck, Goose!

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Remember that old game you use to play at school… I sure do, we all sat in a circle and someone would be tagged as “IT” and they would walk around the circle tapping their classmates head while saying “duck”, “duck”. I was one of those kids who only said duck about 5 to 6 times before I choose someone and ran around the circle.

We all cant wait, even when we were young, we didn’t want to tap everyones head, we wanted to start running and play the game! Well you need to think the same way with SEO. Your customers are not going to spend alot of time searching for the thing they are looking for. They are going to take a look at the first few websites on the first page, maybe a few on the second page and they are going to scream GOOSE, well not literally, but they are going to call someone. From my statistics I haven’t had any clients tell me they had calls coming in from the 17th page.

If you not on the first or second page of google, then your not in the game and your potential clients are not calling you. But we can help, call us today for a free SEO quote and consultation on how to have your website rank higher.
