What exactly is (SEO) search engine optimization?
Search engine optimization (SEO) is a comprehensive marketing program that helps your website rank highly in the major search engines. When someone is using a search engine to find what you offer, your website name will appear in the top rankings. This means that your website will be in the first 10-20 websites that come up when someone does a search for what you sell. Since you are now at the top, they will find you first, go to your website.
Search engine optimization is a multi-step process. Our work includes correcting your existing HTML and Meta tags to be read correctly by the search engine spiders. Then we analyze what key words your prospective customers are most likely to use, developing new Web pages (content rich pages) that feature the right number of these words, and submitting your site to search engines. In addition we utilize more traditional traffic-generating strategies such as making sure you're included on key Internet and industry-specific directories.
Why should I be concerned about my site's positioning?
Everyday, more and more people are logging onto the Internet. Each one is a potential customer. Gaining the attention of these customers is vital to your success. Search engines are the most popular means for people to find what they are looking for on the Web. People using search engines to locate your products and services are prime prospects. If you are not effectively using the search engines then you are losing what is the best quality traffic your site can attract.
What are meta-tags?
Meta-tags are HTML code that does not appear on your screen. The ones that are most helpful in search engine optimization include your site's title, description and keyword tags. The title tag is displayed at the top of the browser. Search engines still utilize the meta-description in search returns. Meta-tags are the most important words that relate to your products and services.
What search engines do you submit my website too to get ranked?
We focus on the top search engines that generate over 95% of the total search traffic on the Internet today. Our list is picked up by all the popular meta search engines such as MetaCrawler and used by Web searchers around the entire globe. The top search engines we submit to include Google, Yahoo, AOL, Go.com, and DMOZ Open Directory.
Is it true that search engines don't like optimization strategies?
Some search engine optimization firms use techniques that search engines object to, such as IP Cloaking. We work hard to use techniques acceptable to search engines. Our content-based methodology uses strategies that are favored by the search engines.
Why does it take so long for my site to get near the top rankings?
Gaining high search positions takes time because search engines are slow to crawl through links. The search engines then update their search indexes. After the search spider finds the pages following links, the site will gain high search positions. This process can take anywhere from 1 month to 1 year depending on how much competition there is for your industry.
Why do I need a website?
The Internet is one of the most cost effective forms of
advertising available. Soon every business will appear there in some form,
and if your competitors get there first, then you could be missing out on potentially
valuable business. Compared to the more traditional advertising mediums, the
Internet has potential circulation coverage area that can't be matched, and
all at a fraction of the cost of a simple series of ads in the local papers,
radio, or TV. Try a search on Google, a top ranked search engine, to see if your competition
has a website.
How soon will my website be completed?
Depending on the level you choose, most sites will be completed 1-4 weeks from
the time consultation is completed. Larger custom websites may take longer.
Is hosting required?
Your website will need to be hosted either through us or with a hosting company
you choose. We can either set up the hosting for you, or just send you the
website files if you would rather do it yourself.
Can I register my domain name through you?
Yes, we can register your domain name for you through GoDaddy.com or use a name
you have already registered.
What form of payments do you accept ?

American Express through PayPal.
