it's full potential. Talk to us today about

A good copywriter knows which words
trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with
flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about
your business, services or products - see professional copywriting,

Search Engine Optimisation
What is organic search engine optimisation?
Often abbreviated to simply SEO, this is what we do to make your site more visible in
the main content area of search engines, or what is more commonly referred to as
"organic results".
A simple graphic showing the different results areas in Google appears to the right. Of course, the organic results are the
"golden chalice", however "sponsored links" can be important too. The top
sponsored links, usually with a yellow background in Google, are reserved for
AdWords™ clients who either bid more for their keywords, and/or receive a
higher CTR (click through rate).
There are many aspects to SEO, from simply naming pages
correctly and ensuring links can be followed, to creating and submitting
articles linking back to your site. It is a well known fact that "content is
King" - in other words, the more relevant content you have, and the more often
you update your website, the better off you will be in the search engine
results.
Website search engine optimisation can be far more effective in terms of ROI (return on investment) than a
PPC (pay per click) campaign. Research sources in the I.T. industry have found that more than 80% of commercial website traffic is generated from the organic
SERPs (search engine results pages) rather than PPC ads such as Google's AdWords™.
This is why you should embark on an organic search engine optimisation
campaign ASAP to improve the results where the majority of people actually
click.
Site
construction plays a key role in how well you will do in your quest to beat your
opposition in the results as well. Your website designer should have an
excellent understanding of how search engines work so the search engine
optimisation can be built into your website from the start. It's not all simply
a matter of adding a few keywords here and there!
Another important factor is how many
websites link back to you, as well as the importance of the sites being linked
from. For example, to achieve a higher PR (PageRank), you need to have
lots of websites linking back to you, or perhaps a only a few higher ranked
websites. To check your own site's PR, you can use any number of free Google™
PageRank checker websites. To
see a guide on how many sites you need to link back to you to achieve a certain
ranking, download our suggested PageRank values

Following is a very brief guide to achieving search engine popularity. Please
note that you must regularly perform checks and measures on your opposition in
order to ensure your website stays "ahead of the pack". The only restriction
to a successful SEO campaign is knowledge and budget. If you see a website
design company or search engine optimiser displaying graphics where they
achieved certain results, you had better manually check the result yourself
because they fluctuate - and can do so even on a daily basis. Something
that was #1 yesterday, could be #12 today.
