Search Engine Optimization Secrets

Monday, April 7th, 2008
by Ray Rice

A couple of years ago, there was quite a stir on the internet over some free videos released by Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon called Going Natural about Search Engine Optimization.

Going Natural was basically some videos showing how a couple of web sites selling wedding favors were pulling in about $16,000. a day by organic search. They also showed scientific studies how pay per click (PPC) ads only gets a fraction of the traffic and clicks received versus sites which appear in the top 3 positions of organic search results.

The videos were hyped by many established internet marketers with a combined mailing list of over 940,000 people. Even the Rick Jerk was getting into the action, taking credit for Andy Jenkins and Brad Fallon’s success by claiming that he taught them much of what they know which has made them successful. The video series and hype continued for the entire month of September 2006 with a new free video being released about once a week.

This was butterfly marketing at it’s finest! And the cliff hanger was the scheduled opening of a new membership network called StomperNet, where members could learn SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Secrets revealing how among other things to get their sites in the coveted top positions of the big 3 search engines; MSN, Yahoo and Google. But the price.. everyone wondered how much this membership would cost?

I thought it would probably be something reasonable.. about $97.00 per month. Well, about a day before the grand opening, the price was finally revealed.. a whopping $797 per month! Wow, I could hardly believe such a high price for membership. That’s about what most people spends a month for their house payment!

What was even more unbelievable was emails I received on the day of the grand opening from Andy Jenkins indicating that when StomperNet went online, they had 50 people join in the first 30 seconds and that the membership was sold out in a matter of hours. It was reported that this was one of the most successful debuts of a new web site in the history of the internet garnering a Alexa traffic rank of 134 on the day the site opened - 10/3/06.

You don’t have to pay $797 a month to learn about SEO methods.

In Order to Grow You Must Perform Website Maintainence

Often when people create a new website they don’t consider how often they will need website updates. Website maintenance should be one of the things you consider even as you plan to launch the first revision of your website. Determine the method and budget you need to establish for your website maintenance.

A business can find it more profitable to allow a website design store to maintain their website. If the employees or the business owner are overwhelmed they may choose not to perform the website maintenance. The website maintenance services that a website design store provide can ensure that you do not make the mistake of neglect thereby hindering the growth of the business.

1. Do not focus on cost alone but seek value. A quality website design store should be able to verify the quality of their work. Ask that they provide you with real references and examples of their work. The website design store portfolio page will allow you to evaluate their webdesign quality. A cheap up front cost may cost you more over the long run.

2. Are they willing to provide you with an estimate of time for the work want? Even when billed at an hourly rate, there should be an estimate. Ask if there is a minimum number of hours required.

3. A individual website designer may at first seem like a bargain compared to a website design store but make sure that they do not have a significant project backlog and that they will be available to you for future website updates. Ask about discounts for a subscription based service or a website maintenance package if you need frequent updates.

4. Your website can be created by anyone in the world so location is not as big of a factor when choosing a website design store. Quality, communication, and integrity are however very important. Make sure that there are no barriers preventing you and the website designer from communicating. Make sure the website design store that you select is subject to the laws of your country in the event of an unresolved dispute.

Communicate frequently with your clients and potential customers by offering them constant information that is valuable. If you produce a product or service that will enrich them then you can use your website to educate them. You can expand your business and community reach while simultaneously helping the readers of your information.

You can create constant relevant content by having a website design store add a newsletter or article capability to your existing website. By doing this you can separate your core product offerings will still offering valuable refreshing content. As an alternative you can get the website design store to add or design a blog or forum related to your business or organization. The increased traffic should provide you an opportunity to share with your new potential clients the product that you have that can make them more productive and profitable.

In order for your website to be search engine friendly you need to make sure that the content on your website periodically changes. If you do not use a website maintenance store and you do not have the website design expertise to change it, then pay the website design store to install a content management system on your website that will provide a user friendly interface for you to make the changes yourself without having to pay a designer to update your website. You may also want to have blog or article capabilities added so that you have ample changing content.

Remember, that these are introductory steps to improving your business but they work!
