The importance of search engine optimization

by Tricia

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.

Webmaster World

by Tricia

If you’re interested in learning more about maintaining, promoting and marketing your site you might want to visit the WebmasterWorld forum.

I hang out there every so often in order to learn more about which affiliates people are using to monetize their site, when Google is going to update websites page ranks and tool bar PR, and just to keep in touch with the webmaster community.

You can learn quite a bit just by reading forums like this one.

Promoting your website

by Tricia

Which sites should you be sure to get listed in so that you will gain more visitors? Well, everyone wants visitors and being listed in the search engines won’t guarantee more visitors if you don’t have some half decent quality on your site, but it will certainly help.

Whenever I create a new website I go around to all of these sites and submit my url:

Google: This link takes you directly to the Google add your url page. You only need to submit the index page of your site. If you’ve set up your navigation on your page, created a sitemap on your site or by using Google Sitemaps, Google’s spiders will eventually crawl your whole site.

Yahoo: This link should take you directly to Yahoo’s free submit site page. You’ll need to sign in with your Yahoo I.D. in order to submit your site. Again, you only need to submit the top level page of your site to get Yahoo to begin spidering your site. Alta Vista, and All the Web pull their results from Yahoo’s Overture listings.

Yahoo Site Explorer – I’ve also listed all of my websites and Blogs on Yahoo Site explorer. You can list your site url and your site’s RSS feed in the explorer.

MSN Live Search URL Submission – I’ve found that sites get listed fairly quickly on the MSN search engines when I submit there.

DMOZ – Open Directory Project – A number of search engines pull their search results directly from the listings on DMOZ. Netscape, and AOL are among the popular search engines that now use the Open Directory Project. You’ll need to scroll through the DMOZ directory until you find an area that suits your site, and then submit or suggest your url in that area. It can take a long long time to get listed in DMOZ, but don’t give up hope.

MSN Submit It – get your site listed on MSN as well. I’ve found that when I submit my new sites to MSN they get picked up quickly.

If you have a blog you should submit to these sites as well:

Technorati – If you want visitors this site is one of the best to get listed on if you have a blog. Sign up for an account at Technorati, and then select “Claim Blog” and follow the directions to get your site listed.

The Truth Laid Bare – Another important site to be listed on. Register for an account, and then add your blog. You’ll have to put some code on your site so that the Truth laid Bare site can track your blogs popularity and links in and out.

There are plenty more search engines and blog directories to list your sites in, but these are the ones to begin with, and in my opinion are the ones that are most important if you want to begin getting visitors.
