Getting your site listed and ranked with search engines has never been more important if you want your site to succeed and attract new customers.
If you are having no luck getting listed on search engines or are not attracting traffic to your site then contact us and we can advise you and put you on the right track to obtaining a top 10 search engine ranking.
Getting listed on search engines is high on the priority of any serious business. And to be honest it’s not an unreasonable a request. If an online business is to succeed then it stands a far better chance if it is found and listed on the first page of a search engine so the expectation is reasonable.
Getting listed with a page 1 top 10 search engine ranking can only be achieved through good knowledge, careful planning and some hard graft. It’s also best to plan for the top seven or so search engines – they account for over 90% of traffic. Getting listed is the black art known as “Search Engine Optimisation”
Search Engine optimisation really isn’t a black art but rather a a combination of skills, knowledge and expertise. Optimising a site involves many things such as correct page title, keyword density, link density and so on. This can be a daunting prospect for the novice and many who don’t fully understand how search engines work have tried and been disappointed with the results. We believe that unless you understand search engine optimisation techniques fairly well then it is unlikely that you will obtain your expectation of a getting listed with a top 10 search engine ranking.
So how do you go about getting listed on search engines?
There are two methods – (1) a company offering a profesional search engine optimisation service such as ours can get results quickly or (2) you can do it yourself, but, bear in mind that you will need to deveop coding skills, page design skills, be prepared to do lots of careful research and spend lots of time adjusting your web pages. Either way, getting listed on the search engines will pay dividends and you will see a return on your investment.
Anyway, let’s start with a golden rule number 1.
Automatic site submission tools – use at your peril
Do yourself a faqvour and save your money. These £49 automatic submission services DO NOT WORK. There are absolutely no shortcuts to getting listed with search engines and these tools can actually do your campaign more harm than good. At best they submit your site to 3000 search engines and you get 3,000,000 times the amount of junk mail. In addition, the top search engines like of Altavista, Google, Lycos and Yahoo have special filters that can spot these programs a mile off. The see these services as spam and you could actually get your site barred from them. Basically, it’s not worth the risk.
So what are the basics to getting listed on search engines?
Page title – high importance – if the page title doesn’t contain the keywords included in the search then the page won’t be ranked or listed.
Meta Page description – high importance – it must describe accurately what the page is about. It’s no use desicribing your page as the “Britney spiers appreciation” page if you are selling books on fly fishing. Don’t try and fool the search engines with false descriptions as it won’t do you any good.
Meta Keywords – low importance – the jury’s out on this one. Some search engines use them, some don’t, some require commas between them some don’t. Some people believe you don’t need them at all.
Keyword density – high importance – different to meta keywords, this accounts for the number of times a key word appears on a page.
Content – medium to high importance – sites that are content rich and relate to the particular subject have a high search engine ranking. The search engines love this – and so will your visitors.
Manual submission – mandatory – submitting your site manually will always pay dividends. In the case of Yahoo, the only way you will stand any chance of getting listed is by manual submission. Check out submit site help on Yahoo.
