Some Extra Benefits of SEO

In business, many clients overlook the real results that they’re getting during Search Engine Marketing.

They often only look at the selected keyword phrases that they are paying for, without fully realizing what other residual effects they are receiving.

When a site gets properly optimized, it is being transformed into a thought-out navigational pattern to information. This is the same pattern a search engine spider looks for. Don’t forget, the easier you make it for a spider to index your site, the better your chances are for getting your site a higher placement in the search engine results page.

While W3C validation is something all sites should strive for, it is not required for better rankings. Does it help? Probably. Yahoo engineers have stated that whether a site is W3C compliant or not makes no difference to how it ranks. If it has relevant content, it will get ranked.

Remember to give your pages their proper names. By doing this you will guarantee that the spider will actually be able to do it’s job properly. You might be thinking that meta tags are a thing of the past, and you would be right, Google does not may much mind to them. That doesn’t meant that you shouldn’t strive for perfection though!

After the site has coded properly, the game then goes up to the next level. Search Engine Marketing is used to drive traffic to the site through various means. Press releases, articles, blogs, RSS/XML feeds, Directory Submissions and User Groups all can bring targeted traffic to a site.

There are now other benefits stemming from Search Engine Marketing which will start to show up. For instance if you’ve been doing press releases where you spoke about a new color of widget for some time, and you list the colors that you have for sale, you have created what is known as an In-Bound Link which will go to your site for Red Widget, however having mentioned the other colors, they will gain their own IBL’s.

If you included phrases about the ways to use widgets, their colors, and other things, then you have also included keywords that you may have never though of. When you check to see what keywords are being used, you might actually be a bit surprised.

Now you’ve seen just a bit of the potential power that your website actually has. Every page will have it’s own rank, and for this reason it’s critical to ensure the optimization of every single page on your website.

Though it might seem rather insignificant, your contact page also needs to be well optimized. If you have a physical business, the search engines will be able to geo target your site so long as your street address is listed. This isn’t something that is being widely done as of yet, but it will be a major factor in the future.

When you check Google to see where your site ranks, remember all of the hidden keywords that you may have included. It’s amazing how often these will bring you right to the top of the search engine rankings. Right were you belong!
