Search Engines Change So Fast - Most Of What You Hear Is Wrong
by Jerry West
Few things are as important to online businesses as reliable Search
Engine Optimization. Get listed high on top search engines and you
can just about bet on getting a big boost in sales.
Businesses often spend big bucks on SEO experts, advice, and systems
that are touted to deliver your site into the promised land of high
rankings. The bad news is -- most of this advice is outdated, untested,
or just plain wrong.
Here's why. Search engines are extremely complicated and constantly
changing. What worked last year may be completely wrong today. What
worked yesterday may be outdated by this afternoon. SEO advisors
who get their information from discussion groups (as many do) are
often repeating untested guesses, theories, and rumors. Sometimes
they misinterpret what search engine changes really mean for real
websites.
Keeping up with search engines has become a full-time job, not
just for one person, but for a full team of seasoned pros. It takes
that many trained people to pour through the hundreds of pages of
new findings, and TEST new methodologies.
I stress the word TEST because that's really the only way you can
know an optimization or marketing strategy is going to work. My
team constantly tests new strategies in real life situations to
see how search engines will respond.
In general, it's good to learn how at least some of the Net's most
important search engine features (like Google's vital PageRank system)
work. You should also learn how to use meta tags and Overture to
get your site listed quickly and in a way that will bring you more
visitors and sales.
If you really want better ranking for your site, you are well advised
to get the help of a qualified SEO professional. Choose a firm that
specializes in SEO or SEM. You'll know which ones are the most successful
because THEIR sites are ranked high in search engines.
