Two Faces of Search Engine Optimization

by Jeff Hensiek on February 21, 2012

Two Faces of Search Engine Optimization

Off-site and On-site optimization.  They Keys to a Successful SEO Component of your Internet Marketing Plan.

In the Search Engine Optimization video below, we’ll be talking about the natural ranking area.  And, again, it’s all about search engine optimization.  That’s what the process is called.

Search engine optimization has two parts to it.

On-site Optimization.  On-site optimization are things that we do on the website itself to help boost the friendliness of our website/web page.

Onsite optimization can encompass things like, title tags, H1 tags, description tags, good content, photos, videos and more.

Off-Site Optimization.  Off-Site optimization are thing we do appart from the website itself that help to boost the credibility of our website/web page.

So, you have off site and on site optimization.  When you include both attributes, you’ll have a well functioning website that is both credible to the search engines and friendly to the search engines.  Hence, really good for your internet marketing plan.

Now, when your website is friendly and credible to the search engines, the search engines will reward you by putting your website on the first page.

And to be specific, they will be putting that particular page on the first page of the search engines.  See, the search engines; and we’re typically referring to Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc., go through your website and look specifically at every page on your site and develop an opinion about what that page is talking.

As a result, static HTML based pages are the most friendly to search engines while a website built completely in Flash (a video format) is not friendly to the search engines.

And Flash is a topic for a different blog article, so we aren’t going to be spending any time discussing that right now.  Keep an eye on this blog because we do have articles in the queue (and that we’ve previously written) that will talk about these elements.

Up to this point, we’ve been helping to develop a foundation for your internet marketing knowledge.  Now that we’ve built the foundation, we’ll be jumping into more of the details and techniques regarding search engine optimization in the next few articles.

At Markomm (an Internet Marketing Firm) we first take a look at your website and help to make a determination of which strategy to use.

In some cases, it is best to employ a comprehensive On-site and Off-site optimization plan while in other cases, we can simply focus on one or the other an help your website develop a strong presence on line.

When we conduct on-site optimization, we typically are building relevant pages and loading them to your website.  This provides your website with very relevant content for the search engines to spider.

In other cases, we can simply go into your website and simply modify the text that is currently on your site.

Our off-site optimization approach is to build links.  The more links your website has, the more credible it is and therefore, the higher you’ll rank on the search engines.

Either way, allow Markomm to help you Develop a strong presence with your internet marketing.

50,000 Ft View of Search Engine Optimization

by Jeff Hensiek on February 17, 2012

Search Engine Optimization as part of your Internet Marketing Plan

The SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Process as it relates to you Internet Marketing Plan.

For many years, SEO has eluded many people.  The Search Engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.) are very tight lipped about what they share.  After all it is proprietary to them.

We’ve been in the business of conducting comprehensive SEO campaigns for our clients for 3+ years now and have become very successful.  Part of that success is due to the ongoing testing that we do (because again, no search engine is going to give you a play book to success).

What you’ll find in the video below is a write up on how we do SEO.  These are from Best Practices that we’ve learned from Google as well as from our own research.

As we walk through this, you may realize that you’ve already done some of these things before.

Search Engine Optimization is a rather in depth and intensive procedure. It can take some time to accomplish. And, as I’ll show you, it is also an ongoing, cyclical process.

The first thing it starts off with is Keyword Analysis.

One of the things that is nice about Internet Marketing is that it is all based off of keywords.

For example, if you are looking for a “no VOC Stain” that is a Keyword (or also know as a Keyword Phrase).

So, SEO is all based off of keywords first.

Now that you have those keywords, you take a look at your website and you see how your website is doing in relation to those keywords.

(And, by the way, that is how it works from a consumer side of things)

Now, you’re looking at your site and you are comparing your website to those terms.

Now that you’ve done that, you move on to step 3 and step 3 is all about Developing SEO Friendly Content for/around those terms.

One of the easiest ways to do that is to build more pages.

Next, you will submit the new pages and the new content to the search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo, etc.).

There are some specific things you’ll want to do that we’ll cover in the next few videos.

Then you come around and we’ll star building links.

Link building is another topic as well, so for right now, just put that down as an action step “Build SEO Quality Links”.

Some of those links will come from blogs or press releases or other articles or social media or YouTube and other things.

Then you come back and analyze what you’ve done. It is important to see what the search engines are telling you and how they are ranking your website.

Then, you start the whole process over again.

And that, is Search Engine Optimization at a 50,000 ft. level.

We’d like to help you.  Call Jeff today at 866-503-7673 and have him run a keyword report on your website.  This useful little tool will see how your website shows up on the search engines for a variety of terms.  From there, you’ll have to tools you need to develop a solid Internet Marketing Plan.
