Seo and Red Flags
June 5, 2008 – 6:50 amVisibility on the Web, especially ranking high with major search engines like Google,Yahoo and MSN on relevant keywords, is essential to online business success like Busby web Solution.
Seo is arguably the biggest single challenge in designing, building and maintaining an effective business Web site - or any other sort - because the “rules” keeping changing,the Web landscape never stops shifting, and new technology regularly adds its own wrinkles. It needs constant tending to stay competitive, and whether you have the time and patience to take on the challenge yourself, or pay a pro for seo, you should be aware of some warning flags.
When someone says they’ll “submit” your new Web site to one, 10 or 100 search engines, it’s more sales pitch than substance. As long as your site has solid seo built into the design, you’ll be found by search “spiders”
• automated programs that constantly crawl the Web looking at sites to include in search results.
• If a designer or team promises seo but doesn’t say which search engines they will optimize your site for, ask. While “submitting” a site is a mostly myth, your seo must meet the requirements of at least the Big Three: Google, Yahoo!, and MSN.
• Don’t believe anyone who “guarantees” top search engine rankings. Nobody can back up that claim.
• Don’t believe any claims of immediate results. It can take weeks for the spiders to find you and add your site to the search results roster.
