Website Optimization
Website optimization is key to any successful website. Many people have never heard of the word
“optimization” relating to the internet world. Most people don’t understand what it means. Either way you
better have it done. In general terms
optimization is the process to improve your website, so search engines can
better understand what you site is about.
There is more to being online than just having a
website. A quote that I hear over and
over from business owners is “I’m online check me out”. What they usually mean is; I’ve bought a domain name, paid a guy to build
me a few pages and I’m waiting for the money to roll in! A website is only as good as the people
working on it. About 99% of websites are
just that - “websites”. They are a few
pages of text, contact information, buisness/company info, and that is it. There are too many websites out there that
have not tapped into any of their online potential.
I have seen $10-$20 million dollar businesses spending millions on online advertising, but not using their website to
advertise for them (for free). There are business out there spending way to much money and not
getting the return on investment that they should. There is free advertising out there – Go Get
IT!
Just like the outside world has “word of mouth” advertising,
so does the internet. It is called “free clicks” or natural traffic. The most effective way to do this is through
optimization. Correct optimization gets
your website to the top of search engines and then stays there. If you show up on the first few pages of
search engines you can bet you are going to get FREE word of mouth
advertising.
