Seen on the Web
How can you be sure youre being found?
First, hire an ISP that has site reporting. Next,
what are the keywords linking the world to your site? How do you figure
this out? Research and testing. Start by brainstorming keywords that
you think might work. Then go to your favorite search engine and simply,
search these keywords. Are you there? Who comes up? Are they related
to your site? Once you have a list of keywords you think will work
we can check our resources to see how many people key in these words
to make sure they will work for you.
This example is prime: See web site we designed
for a local San Francisco Bay Area artist at www.robertwalkerart.com.
Initially we thought the keywords watercolor paintings,
original watercolors, modern art and gallery
watercolors would work the best. Wow did we guess wrong! We
actually found out that art gallery was the relevant
term searched for the most; but there are thousands of art galleries
on the web. When we refined our search to terms that reflected this
artists style such as, african art, black
art, African american art and African American
artwork we found them more often than art gallery.
Since our artist is African American, we setup some web pages with
these keywords and increased his traffic many times. These were
terms that were being searched for and the more specific keywords
were easier to get into the top ten listing.
Our Services
The most minimal service is a one-time search
positioning engagement until the most advantageous position is attained
for search positioning. The second most time consuming is web site
design according to customer specifications with key words for search
positioning. And the most comprehensive service is designing the
web page from the ground up by first identifying the key words and
then submitting the web page to search engines according to those
key words for optimal exposure and finalizing the web site for most
favorable exposure to potential customers.
An additional feature that can improve site
positioning is linking sites to each other. There are several sites
for which reciprocal linking is conducted which optimizes their
search results. There also may be some vital pages that need to
be added to these sites which help the search engine find all the
web pages of one site.
Submission of web sites to directories is
also a possibility for higher positioning. Directories provide listings
from more than one search engine and may also search online publications,
a specific industry, yellow pages or specific database.
