SEARCH ENGINE SUBMISSION OPTIONS
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a website or a web
page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. In
general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search
results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine's users. SEO may target different
kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search, academic search, news search and industry-specific vertical search engines.
As an Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people search
for, the actual search terms typed into search engines and which search engines are preferred by
their targeted audience. Optimizing
a website involves editing its content and HTML and associated coding to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines.
According to most search engines, there are several criteria that every web site has
to abide by
to be even considered "submissable." These range from being "spiderable" (ability to go from one
page to another) to having absolutely no indication of spamming. Some search engines do not
consider any individual web page worthy of being submitted unless it has at least 200 words of
text. Content is king!
After that, every search engine has its own particular criteria. Google puts great importance on
in-coming links (links from other sites to your site). Every page of a
web site should feature at
least one related out-going link (to an association, organization, partner, etc.). The returns are
even greater if those you link to link
back to you. Yahoo, for example, puts great emphasis on
having key words (words descriptive of the site's services) repeated at least four times per page,
and have
those key words in "prove" in your copy code. Most search engines put importance
on related out-going links and how "useful" your site is.
The leading search engines, such as
Google, Bing and Yahoo!, use crawlers
to find
pages for their algorithmic search
results.. Some search engines, notably
Yahoo!,
operate a paid submission
service that guarantee crawling for
either a set fee or
cost per click.
Such programs usually guarantee
inclusion in the database, but do
not
guarantee specific ranking within the
search results
Two major directories, the Yahoo
Directory and the Open Directory
Project both
require manual submission and human editorial review. Google
offers Google
Webmaster Tools, for
which an XML Sitemap feed can be
created and submitted
for ensure
that all pages are found. At First
Group we utilize these and other
tools
to assist in our SEO services
for our clients. Our 7-8 page
monthly statistical report
which
provides our clients with data that
tells them how many visitors come
to their
site, where do they come
from, what keywords they used,
how often they hit specific pages,
etc. This provides an excellent
marketing tool.
Because effective SEO may require
changes to the HTML source code
of a site and
site content, SEO tactic
s are incorporated into website
development and design.
The term "Search engine friendly" may be
used to describe website designs,
menus, consent management
systems, images, videos, shopping
carts, and other elements
that
have been optimized for the
purpose of search engine exposure.
We use a
variety of methods to
increase the prominence of a web
page within the search
results.
Cross linking between pages of
the same website to provide more
links to most
important pages may
improve its visibility. Writing content
that includes frequently searched
keyword phrase, so as to be
relevant to a wide variety of search
queries will tend to increase traffic.
Updating content so as to keep
search engines crawl ing back
frequently can give additional weight
to a site. Adding relevant keywords
to a web
page's meta, including the
title tag and meta description, will
tend to improve the relevancy of a
site's search listing, thus increasing
traffic.
