Search Engine Optimization

Having a good web site is one thing, but how will people find it? Search engine optimization (s.e.o.) is one of the most critical yet most widely overlooked facets of web design. Many people are now familiar with the concept of meta tags (instructions for search engines) and make some attempt to implement them on their web pages; shockingly we find time and time again that people have just inserted blank tags, with no specific data, thinking that will be enough.


You may have asked yourself why this site wasn't designed entirely in flash. Whilst a flash only site may be more aesthetically pleasing, it stands far less chance of being indexed by, or doing well on search engines. How you write your copy, how you structure your page, your use of keywords and many other factors influence how well and how quickly your site will get listed and climb the ranks of the search result pages.


Driving volume traffic requires more than just a few well placed keywords and well designed pages. The best way to achieve quick results is to create numerous mirror domains; i.e. sites with specific keywords in their names, and 'mirror' them back to your site. This has several advantages, you have multiple domains for people to find, you don't have to compromise the aesthetics of your home page, and, every link followed through to your site goes towards increasing your search ranking.
