| SEO - search engine optimization
and Placement services |
Any
internet marketing professional will tell you, just as we will,
that an effective Search Engine Optimization campaign can generate
more traffic than an expensive banner-ad program, or costly
and time-consuming pay-per-click methods. Some of the best methods
of optimizing a website are ensuring that a page is not overly
heavy in file size, maintaining a good content to code ratio,
using lots of relevant content, and filling the page with as
much text and links as you can without “spamming”
the search engine spiders.
Not all sites have identical goals for search optimization.
Some sites are seeking any and all traffic, and may be optimized
to rank highly for common search phrase. A broad search optimization
strategy can work for a site that has broad interest, such as
a periodical, a directory, or site that displays advertising
with a CPM revenue model. In contrast, many businesses try to
optimize their sites for large numbers of highly specific keywords
that indicate readiness to buy. Overly broad search optimization
can hinder marketing strategy by generating a large volume of
low-quality inquiries that cost money to handle, yet result
in little business. Focusing on desirable traffic generates
better quality sales leads, allowing the sales force to close
more business.
The best way to begin an optimization project is to make sure
that all your code is readable. We seek to code web pages in
a way that is friendly to search engines.
The following, though, are some of the considerations search
engines could be building into their algorithms, and the list
of Google patents [2] may give some indication as to what is
in the pipeline:
- Age of site
- Length of time domain has been registered
- Age of content
- Regularity with which new content is added
- Age of link and reputation of linking site
- Standard on-site factors
- Negative scoring for on-site factors (for example, a dampening
for sites with extensive keyword meta tags indicative of
having being SEO-ed)
- Uniqueness of content
- Related terms used in content (the terms the search engine
associates as being related to the main content of the page)
- Google Pagerank (Only used in Google's algorithm)
- External links, the anchor text in those external links
and in the sites/pages containing those links
- Citations and research sources (indicating the content
is of research quality)
- Stem-related terms in the search engine's database (finance/financing)
- Incoming backlinks and anchor text of incoming backlinks
- Negative scoring for some incoming backlinks (perhaps
those coming from low value pages, reciprocated backlinks,
etc.)
- Rate of acquisition of backlinks: too many too fast could
indicate "unnatural" link buying activity
- Text surrounding outward links and incoming backlinks.
A link following the words "Sponsored Links" could
be ignored
- Use of "rel=nofollow" to suggest that the search
engine should ignore the link
- Depth of document in site
- Metrics collected from other sources, such as monitoring
how frequently users hit the back button when SERPs send
them to a particular page
- Metrics collected from sources like the Google Toolbar,
Google AdWords/Adsense programs, etc.
- Metrics collected in data-sharing arrangements with third
parties (like providers of statistical programs used to
monitor site traffic)
- Rate of removal of incoming links to the site
- Use of sub-domains, use of keywords in sub-domains and
volume of content on sub-domains… and negative scoring
for such activity
- Semantic connections of hosted documents
- Rate of document addition or change
- IP of hosting service and the number/quality of other
sites hosted on that IP
- Other affiliations of linking site with the linked site
(do they share an IP? have a common postal address on the
"contact us" page?)
- Technical matters like use of 301 to redirect moved pages,
showing a 404 server header rather than a 200 server header
for pages that don't exist, proper use of robots.txt
- Hosting uptime
- Whether the site serves different content to different
categories of users (cloaking)
- Broken outgoing links not rectified promptly
- Unsafe or illegal content
- Quality of HTML coding, presence of coding errors
- Actual click through rates observed by the search engines
for listings displayed on their SERPs
- Hand ranking by humans of the most frequently accessed
SERPs
