Search Engine Rankings


 

You Don't have an Online Business without Good Search Engine Rankings

Setting up an online web business to sell products and services over the Internet smart business. You can increase your business reach hugely over just maintaining a physical store or tried to sell through direct mail and catalogs.

However, setting up a web site is just the beginning. The first step is the site, but then there's hosting or where you're going to have the site published and then you need people to be able to find you. You don't really think just putting up a web site is enough to get good search engine rankings did you? The best way to ensure that your web site gets a lot of traffic is to have a high search engine rank.

When your web site has a high search engine rank, it will show up on the first few pages of results in the search engines. Now to complicate things a little more, each search engine determines how important your page is based on different sets of criteria. So Google, Yahoo, MSN, AltaVista, and the others are all looking for find different things on your page.



Notice I said PAGE. The reason is that the search engines do not rank a site as a whole. Rather the use their internal rating system to determine the relative importance of a single page against all other pages with similar type of content information.

Make no mistake however, This makes a big difference in the number of visitors that go to your website. Just think about the way you conduct your own searches. When you enter a term into any search engine, you probably click most of the links on the first page of results, and a few on the second page. Do you ever make it as far as page seven or page 10? It's not likely. So you can see why a good search engine rank is critical to the success of your business.

Websites that have a high search engine rank have a couple of characteristics in common. First, they feature pages and pages of relevant content. This means if you're selling accounting services, you should have a lot of articles about accounting, taxes, and bookkeeping.

Remember the whole pages thing above. You will need to make your site significant enough so that your pages are considered important INDIVIDUALLY. This means the site will naturally contain numerous keywords that people searching for accounting services would enter into Google, Yahoo, etc. The more keywords you have, the better your search engine rank. Another characteristic of successful websites is the number of links they have to and from other sites. When other websites link to yours and when you link to others, it makes your website appear more important, relevant, and legitimate. This results in a higher search engine rank.

At this point, you might be thinking to yourself you could never spend this much time to commit to all this effort. The reality is that most people actually think just like that. Although it's difficult to rang well in the search engine results for extremely popular keywords like "ACCOUNTING", there is less than 2 % of the competition for other accounting words like "accounting ratio". Write an article on accounting ratios and you stand a good chance of getting traffic from anyone looking for that keyword.

As they visitor is apparently needed accounting services, and you now have them on your site, it's a lot easier to get them over to where you really want them and that's your accounting services page.

The importance of a high search engine rank shouldn't be underestimated. Before you start selling on the web, you should consider hiring professionals to help you quickly achieve good placement for your website. Be certain though that they only use the most upright and hones ways to get your site to rank.

If they don't, you could end up banned or ignored by the search engines and all your work will have been wasted. The difference between appearing on the first page or the tenth could literally amount to tens of thousands of dollars, so do what you have to in order to get a high search engine rank as soon as possible.

 

 



Some A Few Business Definitions & Terms:

  • Turnover -- The total amount of income received by a business during a specified period (usually a year).

  • Employee leasing service -- Employee leasing involves the provision of human resources and human resource management services to client organizations. Employee leasing companies operate in a coemployment relationship with client businesses or organizations and are specialized in providing a wide range of human resource or personnel management services such as payroll accounting, payroll tax return preparation and filing, benefits administration, recruiting, and managing labor relations. The employee leasing company shares decision making with the client business relating to its human resource management role. Management accountability for the work of their clients' operations with regard to strategic planning, output, and profitability reside with the client. Establishments providing employee leasing services are also known as professional employer organizations (PEO's). Employee leasing is distinct from temporary help service and payroll service.

It may be owned by another company, or by a subsidiary or parent of the host establishment.
