Design Science - Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Getting your Web site found

OK - sitting down? I'm going to tell you something that you may not like. You may even think about seeking a second opnion, but please read and consider this information first.

The Good News

The good news you already knew. Web sites can be constructed and steps taken to help you get to the top of a search engine listing (also called a search "index"). Any Web developer worth their salt considers search engine optimization - "find-ability" - from the onset of a design. Design Science considers this in every aspect of your Web site.

So I just pay you some money and I wind up on the top of the Google ranking for "bakeries", right? Sorry, it's not that simple.

The Bad News - No Silver Bullets

Something you may not be aware of: everything there is to know about Search Engine Optimization is well published. There are no trade secrets, no "silver bullets" to leapfrog a Web site to the front of the line. In fact, the search engines spend a great deal of effort to make sure you can't fool them into placing your site artificially high in their index.

Think about it. If someone says "Pay me $50 a month and I'll get you on the top of the Google listings" that would put you ahead of all your competition and essentially everyone in your business - all around the world. How many Web sites is that? 1,000? 100,000? How many of them have paid to be at the top of the list?

With only 10 results per page it can be difficult to get on the first page of a general Web search, never mind being #1. Does the $50 come with a money-back guarantee?

Once we get past the idea of simply paying someone to get placed first we can get to the work of getting your site highly ranked.
