AllThatInternet.net works with our clients to ensure they are properly positioned for the search engines. We do this with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), which is an important part of marketing your site on the Internet to improve traffic and increase customers. When a web site is properly optimized, it gets indexed and found by more prospective clients and customers.

Our goal is to assist you in creating organic search results as quickly as possible. You may also want to look into pay-per-click (PPC) options through the most popular search engines You can pay a premium for search engine results on specific key words and if you are interested in discussing your options, feel free to contact us so we can go over them with you.

Some of the ways we will help you get your site ready for your SEO launch:

• Meta Tags - specific keywords and description that include popular words and phrases that people would use in search engines.

• Title and Description Tags - keywords included in the title and description of each page that represent the content a visitor will find there.

• Alt Tags - text tags found when you rollover pictures within the site. These include title, description, author and any other relevant information about the photo that will help Search Engines index photos as searchable content.

• Keyword-Rich Content - appropriate and relevant text on each page of the site with keywords that your customer would be most likely to search when looking for your products and services.

• Embedded Links - links that go to other pages within the site. Your goal should be for all pages to link to one another as well.

• Reciprocal Links - these are links that link to outside web sites. Your goal is to have more web sites linking to you than the links you have going out. In some cases, contacting other webmasters, owners etc. to get approval for placement of links is necessary. Great reciprocal linking options include your clients, vendors, strategic partners, referral sources. You can offer a link to their site in exchange for them linking to yours so it helps you both.

After your site is optimized, it's time to alert the serach engines. It can take up to 6 months for the search engines to index your site and include it in the results. It's important to promote it as much as you can through social networking, article submission and blog comments so that you can start to get some trackable traffic.

Using statistical data will help you track and adjust your keywords for best results. Our preferred web design solution includes dynamic statistical data or you can use a service like Google Analytics if your web site does not include statistics.

Other ways to reach positive rankings include:

• Fresh Content - Update the content on your site as often as you can. A great way to do this is to add a blog to your web site. Each new blog entry and the comments your visitors make count as new content.

• Comments on Popular Blogs and Sites - You are probably interested in many different topics related to your business. When you are surfing the internet looking for new information, take a moment to stop and comment on blogs that relate to your industry. Make sure when commenting, you leave your web site address which most blogs have a place for in the comment box. This will give you additional reciprocal linking with high-ranking sites.

• Social Networking - Creating a following through social networks like Twitter and Facebook can drive traffic to your web site. Creating videos and podcasts that people can follow will drive even more traffic and help your web site get found during dynamic search.

• Article Submission - Submitting articles on the many services available online will provide exposure to you and your web site and set you apart from your competition. It will also increase the reciprocal linking with credible web sites and increase traffic to your web site.

• Directory Submissions - There are many directories out there that are general and specific to your industry. For example, a restaurant would want to be listed on local menu sites, local travel and tourism sites and review sites specific to their zip code. Most of these directory listings are free but if you consider paying for submission, make sure the site is reputable and has a strong following.
