What SEO is- How you can understand SEO

Posted in SEO with tags , , , , , , , , on April 7, 2008 by chp2007

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

 

What is SEO (Search Engine Optimization)? 

 

To put it best it is the ability of your web site to be searchable by internet users trying to locate your business for products or services you offer. Optimizing a web site based on the most important aspects of your business, for example let’s say you sell baseball equipment. Your main products could be baseball gloves, baseball bats, baseball uniforms, baseball hats, baseballs, etc. These main items of interest are considered keywords for consumers to search on the internet search engines for products they need. Keywords are single or multiple words (phrases) that seem to be logical search criteria for consumers. If you went to google and typed in find baseball gloves the search engine would find relevant keyword terms that match your request. Keywords are vital for the success of a web site but it does not end with just listing keywords in your tags. Utilizing your keywords within a content rich web page helps to emphasis the suggested keywords. Using anchors to direct links from these keywords on your web page to specific web pages within the structure of your web site are vital as well. Your home page might be saved as index.htm or index.html and another page is called baseballgloves.html. The keyword baseball gloves is now much stronger based upon the use of a keyword and naming a web page specific to that keyword.

 

The description of your web site is also very important to SEO. Using the same example Baseball equipment as a product you sell, your description tag for your web site can read something like this – The most affordable baseball equipment and all the top brand baseball equipment. Though this is not how I would exactly state it but you get the idea. The description of the web site should be utilized within the content rich web page created. Keywords and descriptions should be utilized within the first 100 or so words on your web page. 

 

Robot files or robot meta tags should be utilized to allow the search engines to index your site and know when to return to re-index your site and where it should be distributed, i.e. globally, locally, regionally etc.

Verification on search engines like google are important as well. Google allows you for free to verify a web site and add a meta tag for the search engine to pick up. Adding a site map.xml on the completion of your web site is another great way for the search engines to follow a path. The submission of a sitemap.xml is also a free service provided by google and like search engines.

 

Creating or starting and In bound link campaign is a way to get some legitimacy to your web site. Web sites are ranked over time and this ranking is what brings you to the front or top of a searched criteria. Page rank for new web sites start typically at zero. It is not an overnight change that you will go to a 3, 4, or 5 in page ranking. Some web sites never leave the basement and stay at zero. If you are not using some meta tags to gain organic listing and ranking you are probably at zero. The in bound links come from web sites that you seek out and link independently to your web site. Strong in bound links and the number of these strong in bound links raise your own web site to a higher ranking and page listing with search engines.

 

To view your own in bound links go to yahoo.com and in the search area type in link:www.yourwebsiteurl you will see how many inner page links you have and how many in bound links you have and where they come from.

Keeping on that same line of thinking it is important for your web site not to have to many outbound links. This does nothing but hurt you for page ranking. Obviously some may be required but don’t fill up a your web site with links that are directed all over the place just because you think having affiliate banner ads or cool web sites are the things your customers want to see.

 

Keep in Mind the rule: Content is King!!

Don’t fill up your web site with so many images and very little text. It is strange but people do like to read and not just look at nice pictures. Content rich pages are crawled and the use of keywords and descriptions can be located throughout your pages. Give your content heading classes, this will give emphasis to certain sections of your content rich pages that utilized and strengthen the use of your keywords. If you are going to use images make sure to give them an ALT attribute that utilizes the keywords. 

 

Now a days a Blog page or a social networking site is a fantastic idea for your online advertising to compliment your web site. More often than not you can get a blog page going for no charge or next to no cost. I still believe you should allow a professional web developer to design and maintain your web site but a social networking profile, blog, or site is something that you should moderate and add content to. They are a lot of fun and it starts to give you some basic knowledge on how the internet works in reference to the use of content, images, meta tags etc.

 

There is no one thing that will make your site more visible. It is the combination of many things. We know many tricks or to put it better we realize the process that creates better searchability and promotes a higher ranking. Some of these tips and processes are at no cost, it is what we do for our clients. Some are at a cost and we try to keep that cost down as best we can. We consult our clients to let them understand why certain things are needed and why doing certain things can create a higher ranking and visibility in search engine listings.

 

We of course are not going to divulge all our secrets to the public. If we did we wouldn’t feel we have the advantage over the other guys. What we will state is there is methods to get the results you are after. We are pleased that many of clients enjoy the first page on such search engines as google, yahoo, ask, msn, etc.

 

SEO is an important service to us since we started really learning how and why some web sites are ranked so high. We promise that it is important to us to have you be the most visible possible. With your help and our direction your company can achieve a high ranking success.

One against seven Million

Posted in SEO with tags , , , , , on March 21, 2008 by chp2007

We took a hard look at three of our clients to see what truly makes a difference in their overall page ranking and listing placement on google. We chose google because we feel at this point google is the better more reliable source for internet search result. Three clients all with different business criteria and locations in the United States were selected to better understand why one of the businesses are #1/on 1 of google with minimum pages, page content, limited inbound links, and virtually no SEO. It wasn’t because we did a great job with our coding of the web site or that we did an incredible job with their keyword structure and relevant content. We didn’t even name the pages they have significant to any of the keywords. The reason was simply numbers. The number of competing like businesses were approximately 20,000 listings. This number to us is low because when we first think of competitors we look at the number of competitors we have to compete against and it is astronomical. This particular business is reaping the rewards of such a high listing and they are very grateful for the wonderful job we initially did for them and continue to do. We send them the report and show them their statistics and they are overjoyed. We do take credit for that and we do always say you are welcome. The remaining two clients one of which is an E commerce clothing and shoe store which has great presence as well and can normally be found on the 1st or 2nd page of google when search for their targeted keywords or more basically their criteria or business type. They also enjoy an extremely high unique visitor count and they too are thankful and very complimentary of our services. This all leads to the third client. We have done more SEO work on this site than we have for ourselves. We continue to push for the #1 spot. There as been the zigzag ranking and placement for the past two months. The owner of this company is not a patient man, he expect to see immediate results and wants to destroy his competition. This client has had their website live and optimized for almost three months and I have said on many occasions it has not been long enough to get the ranking and recognition you are expecting. I refer this next statement back to the numbers game. This client competitors have a particular season in which the spend Ad revenue to highly increase their page listing and visibility. We are now in that season. The number of competitors this client faces is approximately 1,000,000. Our client zigzags from page 23 all the ways down to page 5. They usually balance somewhere in between. Our client utilizes PPC and pays to submit their URL to large directories. We encourage them to be selective and use the natural order of 10 listings or less a week and to have patients. In summary to this article I want to say the numbers we face in competitors are close to 7,000,000 , the numbers the first client faces is 20,000 the second client faces maybe a million or more but they do have a specific niche and choice of related keywords that are of interest to a more elite group of people, the third client does have a large amount of competitors but in our opinion the numbers also speak of money the competitors spend at a peak time of year and the number of years and or decades they have been established.

Logo Yes, Logo No ?

Posted in logo designs with tags , , , on February 29, 2008 by chp2007

Logo Designs are at times the most fun I can have during the work day. I love being creative and coming up with so many examples. Near the end of the day my conceptual ideas have taken into my skin, and it is time to progress with my favorite sample Ideas. I work another few hours making them gracious with effects and depth and feel pretty good about myself. I believe that these logo designs will fall on amazing and starlit gazing eyes. I truly feel I will indeed sell a logo today, and at that put shoes on my feet. The images are on their way… time to get the critical judgement. I am the optimistic so I feel it will be.. it will be. When you get the word back that they loved them it is so outrageously invigorating and stimulates the creative jeans I sit in. But when the word is that they hate all your work. What do you do then? Hey I have been an artist for a long time. I think you can say that I have a style unique as my genetic code. You know what that is the nature of the beast my friends. People will either love your work or hate it. I find no in-be-tweens. I handle it all with grace, honor, and dignity and I most move on. The time is gone, the visions of $’s can now slowly fade into my blank screen or paper as I begin another quest for that published piece, the portfolio filler, the money maker.I know art is in the eye of the beholder and when you are dealing with people that do not know what they are looking for or what they want; all they know is when they see what they don’t want they will then be vocal. I will forever trudge on to surpass the self expectations of great artistry. I am only getting better, faster, stronger, a more complete and rounded shell of an artist. 

Website progressional and SEO patients

Posted in website design with tags , , , , , , on February 25, 2008 by chp2007

It never stops amazing me how the internet changes. Almost on a weekly basis there is something new to do or something that has changed and needs to be addressed. We realize for ourselves that being a website design company our competition is close to 2 million strong. To think or even imagine we could be listed in google, yahoo, or MSN in the first 100 pages or even the first 200 pages is not to realistic. Even with programs like AD words, or a PPC we would still probably not break the top 100.

We have come to find a warm feeling of comfort knowing this and though we strive to optimize our site and do everything humanly possible to create a search engine presence we do understand the odds are not in our favor. What Current House Productions does take pleasure in is knowing that some of our clients are enjoying high page ranking and page position in Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Mainly in part to our own necessity to be a part SEO company for ourselves. Everything we do to optimize ourselves we do for our clients– FREE. So some of our clients face off against competitors that range in numbers like 2,300 or 800,000 these numbers to us seem like a small private party in comparison to the battle we wage on the website development front.

We have one client, and this client is one of our favorites to be sure but they are anxious to see results. They are anxious to be on the first page of their particular search criteria. They really have only been around for a few months. There domain is new, their service is new, they battle for position against companies that have been around for 10 or more years and have an endless supply of ad revenue dollars to spend. Well, this client of ours is reaping the benefits of all the things we are continuing to learn and implement as far as our SEO. This client is steadily gaining ground on it’s competitors and I can feel their competitors quacking in their shoes and this client of ours gains momentum. Soon they will be in the first page. This client of ours has been approached by many full SEO companies promising them these great results if they use them. I told our client that if another company came in and took their money to optimize their website it would be a shame and a waste of money. The work has already been done, the tools for success of this website have been utilized. A SEO company would take their money and probably say “Give us about a month and a half and you will see significant results in your website being listed higher.” Yeah? No kidding. It would be about right, in time anyway that the search engine process would have indexed them and with their current traffic flow and the endless backlinks we have created and the feeds coming to them via RSS in all directions and the optimized keywords used…..Let me take a breath, The point is before making a long story increasingly longer is that website design is more than just our unique flare of creativity and personalization. It is more than our on going free consultations that we seem to give our clients (because we like them all), it is more than us doing the best we can to optimize your website and increase our knowledge on this ever changing game of internet cat and mouse, it so much more than all of these things. What it comes down to is time, persistence, willingness, and the integrity promise we keep in saying we will do everything we can to help promote your website. But we are not alone… You must make the same effort yourself if you want to make your website be seen and recognized. That our have and endless supply of advertising revenue to pay to be in first place. All in all we are getting better at what we do. We are a good company we are proud of ourselves and our ability to make a great looking product. We know we will get better and we know we have a long way to go. We will not stop though and we will out work our competitors and one day we may beat out the other 2+ million website design companies to get listed first.

Hey, Dream it. And if you are gonna dream it… Dream it big!
