Search Engines: Optimization, Submission, & Pay-Per-Clicks Don't just roll the dice! Search Engine Placement is a very important part of website design and maintenance. SurfPerch.com offers a wide array of consulting and maintenance to help increase the profile of your website. Search Engines are the most important tool that people use to find websites. That's why a site that has a good search engine listing will experience a steep increase in visitors. Even though everybody wants those good listings, most websites appear poorly in search engine rankings (or not at all) because they do not capitalize on how search engines work.   Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, means that your pages are accessible to the search engines and can be read easily and indexed correctly. Taking the time to properly prepare your website will dramatically increase the likelihood that it will be found. Search Engine Submission involves personally requesting that your site be listed on a website such as Yahoo!, MSN, or Google. You fill out a short form, adding information about your website, and you hope your site will be listed with these sites in 3-6 weeks. Using paid listing programs will speed up the process and generate traffic immediately. However, it's important to set a realistic budget for your needs. If you only want to spend $100 a month to start, you could be out of money in a day or two, depending on the keywords you include and the bids you set for each term.   If you are interested in a free web consultation, or if you have a question about our rates, please contact us.
