Search Engine Optimization
While the world has largely become accustomed to the concept of search engine optimization, most small businesses still cannot handle the task by themselves. The best practices and ethical guidelines for what works and will work in the long term for your website are evolving as time goes on. This means you need to do everything in your power to make sound business decisions that will result in a quality online reputation and high rankings within the search engines.
Many companies and self titled "gurus" will promise you speedy results and lofty search engine rankings, and the truth is they may even deliver on their promises. The problem is that at the end of the day those rankings were achieved through illicit means which are going to hurt you, your website and your company over the long haul. If you're planning on keeping your business in business for a substantial amount of time, then you'll need to adhere to both the written and unwritten guidelines for the creation of a well ranking website.
Site Construction
Further, search engine optimization has evolved a great deal from the days of keyword stuffing. Today, a site that is completely optimized for the major search engines is designed with both users and search engine spiders in mind. This means clear, easy to understand linking and navigation structures as well as properly titled page names.
Market Research
This also means the use of carefully researched and targeted short-tail and long-tail keywords in the correct places, highlighted in the correct ways. Some of the largest mistakes made involve not properly researching the appropriate ways to attack your market. A few wrong assumptions can leave you either struggling to stay afloat in an overly competitive market or floundering with poorly targeted traffic and low traffic numbers.
Building Incoming Links
You'll also need to work on your offsite optimization. This is focused around developing high quality and relevant incoming links leading to your website to boost your business's reputation within your community. More importantly, this will boost your site's status within the complex algorithms that search engines use to determine which pages will be showcased as the first results for a given search query.
