Once
your website has been designed and uploaded,surely your job is done
?
You've
spent hours working through the design, logos, graphics and HTML
and your site is ready for the world to see, right?
Unfortunately,
the answer to both of these questions is NO.
There
are hundreds of millions of websites on the Internet - to obtain
a successful web presence, you need to submit your website to search
engines, which use powerful yet sensitive technology to take a 'snapshot'
of your website and, if you're lucky, your website content will
become available to the hundreds of millions of web-surfers.
However,
the thousands of search engines use keywords to give basic results
when a surfer queries a company's web database such as http://www.google.com.
Placement
in the search engines relies heavily on relevant keywords and content.
In
addition, 'hidden code' within your web pages needs to be made 'search
engine friendly' to facilitate better listings and provide better
search results for your site. This isn't rocket science, but it
does need to be carefully constructed and added to your pages if
META tags haven't already been included.
The
lengthy process of making your site search engine friendly is one
that can be learned, but experts on the Internet are obviously reluctant
to divulge their secrets to everyone. As with learning the basics
of any computer-based skill, it is possible to play around with
site optimisation, free site submission and just hope for the best.
However, unlike any other computer-based activity, the results may
not be known for up to three months.Is
it really worth the risk?
Whether
you have a small personal site, a growing business domain or a large
commercial site, it is imperative to start work on obtaining good
search engine listings quickly - your competitors will be, if they
have sense!
