Search Engine Ranking
The odds are that most people will arrive at your site by way of a search engine. Although there are no guarantees with where you'll be ranked in search engine results, these things will improve your site's performance:
- quality content
- keyword rich content
- frequently updated content
- professionally designed site
- links from related sites
Quality Content
Content is the copy or words that make up your website. By having quality information, content, or articles your pages will naturally be more useful to your site visitors. If your human visitors enjoy your content and find it beneficial, the search engines will also recognize it as quality content worth listing in their results.
Keyword Rich Content
A keyword is a word or phrase that someone will type into the search engine in hopes of finding the information they seek. You can customize your site's content and wording to focus on certain keywords and phrases that your company services.
Frequently Updated Content
Search engines love fresh content and web pages. If you are continually adding new pages and updating your site's content, the search engines have more of a reason to return to your site. Fresh content will be viewed as more current and relevant to people searching and will get a boost in the rankings.
Professionally Designed Site
A professionally designed and programmed site will be structured in a search engine friendly manner. By building your site with standard technologies and practices, the search engines will be able to more easily read and understand your site content.
Links from Related Sites
Each time another website links to you, it is like they are voting for your page. By building a quality website with great content, you will be inviting others to link to your site. The most important links come from other highly ranked sites that are related to your site's content. For example, if you sell shoes you'd want links from other shoe companies, clothing sites, etc. However, links from an auto or travel site could be out of place and interpreted by the search engines as less significant.
