Search Engine Optimization/Submission

With the millions of websites available on the Internet today, the search engine ranking competition has become a brutal battle resulting in the survival of the fittest. In order to maximize your traffic from the search engines, your website must be optimized to obtain high search engine ranking.

Although Search Engine Optimization is a crucial componenet to bringing traffic to your website, the work involved in accomplishing SEO is misunderstood by a majority of people, including many "professional" web designers.

More than Meta Tags

Not that long ago, the focus of SEO was focused on having the right keywords and description in your meta tags. Although having the right meta tags with the right values are still a part of achieving quality search engine optimization, meta tags have decreased in significance drastically over the last few years, almost to the point of non-relevance.

Frequent Submission...Good or Bad?

Another common myth of SEO is that frequent submission to the search engines will get you a better ranking. This idea should be listed with all the other "urban legends," because it is nothing but a myth. In fact, frequent submission of your site will actually negate good SEO by getting you "blacklisted" from directories and search engines, as most consider this practice to be "SPAM". Deerpath Design ensures that your site is listed with the major search engines and then focuses on correct search engine optimization and web marketing to promote high rankings.

Effective SEO - What's Involved?

Important factors contributing to successful Search Engine Optimization include the quality, amount and placement of relevant content on your website, as well as the actual programming of your website pages. How you treat pictures and navigation also have an effect on whether you make it to the first page of search results for specific keywords, or whether you end up buried behind hundreds of other search results. Even your web marketing techniques and strategies play a part in getting ranked, or in being banned, by the search engines.

The short story is that there is a lot more to Search Engine Optimization than the average person, or web designer for that matter, may realize or know how to accomplish. Deerpath Design continually researches and adapts optimization strategies to provide the most effective Search Engine Optimization results for clients.
