Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Search Engine Optimisation is the
process of developing your site to ensure that it is optimised
for the search engines. This is important to maximise your
chances of appearing on the first page of the organic listings
(for free) for your important / relevant keywords.
Google is so Important now...
Google is now dominating the search market with a worldwide
share of around 70%, therefore it's most important to make sure
your website is optimised to be relevant in Google's eyes! This
is not necessarily that easy - but we do have a pretty good
idea on what Google are looking for.
It's best to tackle SEO as soon as you start to design your
site, so that everything is designed and produced properly from
day 1. By desiging your site with SEO in mind from the
beginning there's virtually no extra work needed - it's a case
of just organising things properly and keeping them that way.
It's more difficult - but not impossible to sort websites out
which have never been developed with SEO in mind.
Benefit of Search Engine Optimisation
The ultimate benefit of Searhc Engine Optisation is the free
traffic it provides. The only thing to bear in mind is there's
a cost to either your time or someone elses when you start
running SEO projects to increase your overall rankiings for
many keywords. Once the work is done though - it will yield
long lasting benefits for your site.
Gaining the number one position in Google for your keywords
can quite often bring at least 4 times as many visitors to your
site than paying for a Google Ad - so if there's a good chance
of achieving high rankings - you should go for them.
