Why Do You Need SEO?

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

In most cases, the term SEO refers to Search Engine Optimization. This discipline of Internet Marketing, employs Search strategies to improve the volume or quality, of visitor traffic; to a webpage. The belief, is that the closer a webpage appears to the top of search results; the more visitors it will receive.

To achieve favorable results, an SEO expert will (often) utilize a variety of Search strategies, which could include:

  • image search,
  • local search,
  • video search; and
  • industry-specific Search Engines.

These approaches will

  1. provide a strong Web presence,
  2. work tirelessly to promote Company brand; and
  3. generate consumer awareness.

As an important part of a successful Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how Search Engines determine relevancy (algorithm) and what people are actively searching for. The optimization of a website or webpage, primarily involves editing page content and Meta data, to increase overall relevance to specific keywords; as well as remove any barriers to proper indexing. As such, it is often recommended that businesses incorporate SEO into early website development, design and other elements that require optimization; for the purpose of increasing Search Engine exposure.

Successful Search Engine Optimization techniques, must be finely tuned to the dominant search engines; within the website’s target market. As Search Engine market share varies from marketplace to marketplace, so does Search competition. Often successful SEO strategies for international marketplaces, require the guidance of a Search Consultanting firm, for professional webpage translation, local registration of a domain name with a top level domain; and local IP address. Otherwise, the fundamental elements of search optimization remain the same, regardless of language.

Dating and E-commerce Success

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
In e-commerce, there is one goal that stands above all: Generate revenue, by encouraging Web site visitors to purchase your product or service, either online; or at your brick and mortar store. To accomplish this, you must flawlessly provide two key ingredients: a positive appearance and great communication.
 
When motivated consumers arrive at your Web site, they are in search of a solution.  Each visitor has an individual question they need answered, or problem they need solved. If your Web page does not immediately provide the satisfaction they covet; they will move on to your competitor- an undesirable consequence. As such, your Web site’s landing page (Home or otherwise) provides the most valuable opportunity, to build a genuine relationship of trust with Internet visitors; and establish your Company’s brand.  The information that you choose to showcase here, and the manner in which it is conveyed; can invoke powerful emotions in Web site visitors.
 
Your first online interaction, with a potential customer; should play out like a first date. Considering that first dates are more like job interviews, a positive appearance and great communication; will help to make the sale. Both first dates and job interviews are an emotional experience, loaded with questions; ultimately seeking the answer to “why”. Like employers and blind dates, Web site visitors know “what” they are searching for, they just don’t know “why” they need you; to provide it.
 
Be certain that your landing page speaks directly to Web visitors, in a manner that is simple and easy to relate to. Make every effort to provide specific answers, about how your product or service WILL help; not CAN help.
