SEO - Search Engine Optimisation
For any business wishing to make money from selling their services or products online search engine optimisation is not only desirable but imperative.
To get your business website noticed by a search engine your site must contain relevant well written content which is fresh, regularly updated and is unique to your website. Using keywords and phrases that pertain to what you do, who you are and what you are trying to sell helps search engines classify your site and increases your PR (page ranking ) accordingly.
Great, you write your website content with your chosen keywords enough times and you are top of the pile, head of the heap and the most popular website in your category. Yes? No!
Even if that last statement were true (which it honestly is not), by considering why your business utilises SEO as an internet marketing strategy and what you hope to achieve by incorporating search engine optimisation into your web design should make the very idea of producing pages with overuse of keywords and phrases an option not worthy of a company wishing to seriously market itself to an online audience.
The whole idea of online marketing and SEO is, surely, increased targeted viewers onto you website and as a result of reaching more people interested in your product, more sales. So, yes, you want to appeal to search engines and to appear higher on search engine results pages (SERP) but a higher page ranking is a means to an end and not the end itself. After all search engines don't buy your products, people do.
Once a search engine has determined what category your business website belongs and an internet user has entered your keywords and found your website at no1 in the search rankings and arrived at your home page, you must supply that potential customer something to persuade them to stay long enough for your web copy to convince them that they have made the right decision coming to you.
