I’m sure you hear the word SEO quite often as you surf the internet. Perhaps you already know that SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization, but are you aware of how to optimize your site for search engines and what it really means?
You can optimize you site at any time for search engine ranks and marketing purposes but the best time to do it is of course when you create the site. Everything from the domain name you choose to the title of your sites, the title of your articles or blog posts all count towards optimizing your site for better standings on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, MSN and others.
Many people, and companies choose to turn to companies that offer seo services. Companies such as SubmitAWebsite.com, a search engine optimization company, offer services such as analyzing your site against your competitors, keyword analysis, keyword ranking reports, optimize the code and content of some of your sites pages for better search engine optimization, register your website with the top free web directories, offer link building consultation and services and much more.
If the purpose of your website is sales or service then it’s important for your sites keywords to come up high on the search engine pages. You want your site to consistently be on the first page when someone searches for one of the keywords that could bring them to your site. I mean, this is how you get traffic to your site and make sales right?
I think everyone who runs a website should know a little bit about SEO and work towards optimizing their sites for SEO, but if you own a business and you want to outrank the competition it might be wise to look into the search engine optimization services offered by a seo company such as SubmitAWebsite.com.

My friends all have knitting blogs. They all ask me how to optimize. They don’t want to make money– just get a little better traffic. Everyblogger wants traffic!
I’ve told them to alway be as descriptive and specific as possible. You don’t just use yarn– you use brand X alpaca-silk blend in blah, blah blah. You don’t just cast on, you cast on using the blah, blah method.
In knitting it works. It works in other areas, it’s just the terms that differ.
Oh well, and obviously, get links.

Yes this is very true. SEO is becoming more and more important and is not only for big selling companies.

Everyone who designs websites should at least know the basics of how to structure a website for SEO purposes. Things like valid code, css, heading tags, etc.

I don’t seem to have a google problem, but Yahoo doesn’t seem to pick up on my content very well. I need to read more seo articles.
