Why you need SEO

August 13th, 2009

There was a time when you would not have even considered leaving your company listing out of the business pages of a phone book, so don’t leave your web link off of the listings on search engine sites. Web traffic is crucial to the survival of any online business. Customers are not looking under every rock along the way to see if you are there. Shoppers search for products and services the easy way – they let search engines do the work for them. Search Engine Optimization opens up the opportunity for potential customers to find you by attracting search engine robots.

There is so much to know and consider about search engines. For example, different search engines use different algorithms to hunt down information.

Achieve High SEO Rankings

August 12th, 2009

Baytech Web Design knows that users who are in quest of a particular service or product are only going to look through the first few pages of search engine results. So, if you want to be found, you know where your business needs to be listed. High rankings entail crucial attention to specific areas on your business website.

Successful rankings occur only when a web site is well-managed. The primary areas of focus include the following:

  • Integrate keywords and phrases into your web site’s content. These notable phrases and words are what a user naturally thinks of when doing a search.
  • Ensure that your site complies with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines.
  • Use Meta tags. They provide information in the “header” space of a web page. This data is used to provide beneficial information about a web page and is not seen by the browser, but rather by an account manager maintaining the web site.
  • Submit your web site for inclusion on major search engines.

Bringing an expert on board to manage search engine optimization strategies for your business will produce outstanding results. Baytech Web Design will monitor your SEO campaign and assist your business in achieving high rankings.

SEO Website Design – Starting with the Basics

August 1st, 2009

When laying out your Website for maximum search engine optimization, it is essential that you start with the foundation and build from there. This means that if there is an existing Website, that all elements of each page will need to be evaluated to ensure that right foundation. Otherwise, adding onto an incorrect structure will help you only in a limited way.

Good SEO strategies must start with the basics if your site is to become friendlier to the search engines. Since not all search engines use the same algorithms, you want to largely use a framework that will be W3 compliant, such as HTML, XML, CSS, and DOM. For top search ranking in each of the search engines, following this basic principle will help ensure that they will be able to recognize your SEO work.

A lot of businesses and individuals seek to incorporate the fancy aspects of Web design – such as flash. In doing so, they often sacrifice good SEO strategies for elegance sake, and this can lead to lower page rank because some (if not most) search engines cannot read the more recent coding styles. Baytech Web Design can show you how to be fancy in your Web design and still come out ahead with the search engines.

By sticking to the more basic elements, you ensure greater visibility to the search engines – and better SERP results. You want to use HTML for your important content, your structure, and for your navigation. Provide anchor text that describes the object well, and use shortened links to ensure ease of indexing. Links that are too long may be defeating your purpose with some search engines. Aim for simplicity and you will be more attractive to the search engines.

Baytech Web Design is a company that can help you with proven SEO strategies. We have enabled companies of all sizes to be search engine friendly and to improve their bottom line. Contact us today and let us show you what we can do.

Content for SEO – General Best Practices, Part II

July 24th, 2009

Let’s us talk about targeted keywords. They help the engine to determine what the pages are about. When selecting your keywords, choose them based on search volume. The right keywords should help increase conversion.

When incorporating your keywords into your content, take care in measuring the density of the primary keyword. It should make up two to three percent of the page. That means, for every 400 words, it can be used up to twelve times. Also, use the exact keyword phrase for the primary keyword. For example, “Stephanie’s Interior Design” is not the same as “Interior Design by Stephanie.”
