search engine optimisation/SEO

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of making your website attractive to Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft (Bing) and other online search engines, so that these search engine will send free visitors to your site.

Keyword Market Research 

The first thing to understand is that every key phrase that searchers type into Google is a completely different market, with more or less competing pages, and more or less demand than every other key phrase, however similar.

So the first part of any SEO work is to identify phrases that people are actually typing in to search engines that are relevant to your market and product.

On Page Optimisation 

Once we've researched the relevant keywords for your products or services, we can begin the process of making your web pages appear more relevant and authoritative to the saerch engines. There's no trick or easy way out here - it takes good quality content that people will actually want to read!

Of course high quality content is not enough - the words for which you want your web pages to rank must appear in the right parts of the page, and indeed in hypertext links pointing from other sites to the page as well.

That's the second part of the process once the "on page" optimisation is complete - link building.

Off Page Optimisation 

Google attributes more relevance (and hence higher positions in the search results,) to pages which have lots of links pointing to them from other pages. They interpret a link to a page as a "vote" for that page.

  • Optimisation of navigation structure, existing link profile etc
  • Fresh content creation
  • Link bait

An investment in organic SEO is often a sounder long-term proposition than pay per click advertising, as once the initial work has been done, the highly targetted traffic keeps coming to your website with only a smaller outlay in maintaining your position.

Its also an open secret among those who target both paid and free search engine traffic that free traffic coming to your site by virtue of organic SEO tends to be higher-converting.
