As a self-employed web designer and search
engine consultant, I deal with the process of
optimizing business sites day in day out. The
relationship between your web site and the major search
engines is a fluid situation with hundreds of factors
involved.
Tactics to improve positioning on search engine indexes
have grown increasingly complex over the last 10 years;
in 1997 you could simply add many repetitions of the
key phrases you are trying to promote to your web page
and this would increase your ranking on search engines
such as Altavista, whereas in the present day if you
use this technique you could possibly incur a penalty
from the search engines for ‘spamming’.
Of course the
major player today is Google. It delivers more than 70%
of search queries on the internet presently, and
recently had their IPO. They grew so incredibly fast
because they were founded on the principle of a
democratic search engine; the more links that a given
site has from other sites, especially links from other
sites in the same topic, the more ‘power’
it would get, similiar to votes. This leads to the
first problem with many websites: an extremely poor
number of thematically relevant inbound links from
other websites.
On this site we will explore these issues and more,
feel free to browse around, and if you have any
questions, by all means drop me a note at info (at)
