A website\u2019s structure is one of the most important components to achieving high rankings.\u00a0 It is the one factor that a business can in fact control to enable the search engines to crawl the site and thus include it in its rankings.\u00a0 The site structure for the purposes of marketing must be properly implemented at the onset of any SEO initiative. Technology or applications which may prevent or limit the search engines from crawling the site (such as frames, flash, dynamic URLs, or JavaScript) should be avoided since these are not \u2018search friendly\u2019.<\/p>\n

The relevancy of a website is paramount to it establishing rankings for targeted keywords \/ phrases. Therefore, not only should a website include relevant content about the products and services and value of the business to engage the site visitor, but the copy should also be created around targeted words and phrases for which the website looks to rank.<\/p>\n

Website optimization is the foundation for any marketing of a website online. It is the most cost effective measure a business can take to insure its site has the best opportunity of attracting the search engines and converting visitors into prospects.<\/p>\n

To insure search engine visibility and consumer usability, website optimization (a.k.a. on-page optimization) may include the reengineering of keywords within meta data, the addition of a sitemap, the addition of pages of relevant content, elimination of prohibitive technology such as frames or the redevelopment of a content management system (CMS) to foster a more search engine friendly database.\u00a0 Regardless of the extent of work to be performed, on-page optimization is the key first step to achieving visibility.<\/p>\n

On-page work however does not mean a website is \u2018finished\u2019, it will never really be finished. In fact a website should instead be thought of as a \u201cverb\u201d, dynamic and ever-changing as opposed to a static \u201cnoun\u201d.\u00a0 Businesses often fail to recognize that a website must always be in flux and changing to market demands and behavior.\u00a0 Website analytics when properly utilized can provide keen insights to consumer behavior at a website, traffic patterns duration on the site as well as paths to conversions.\u00a0 This data will enable marketers to modify and tweak a website on an ongoing basis furthering the attraction of search engines and the conversions of visitors into prospects.<\/p>\n
