you are losing customers…worse, your competitors are winning
them.

terms used by your potential customers, you need to clearly define
and adopt your search engine promotion strategy. The promotion strategy
includes activities such as Search Engine Optimization, Search Engine
Submission, Pay-for-Inclusion (PFI), Pay-per-Click (PPC), Paid Listing,
Link Popularity building etc.
Search Engine Optimization or Search Engine Submission –
The jargon
Just to clear some cloud on these terms, Search Engines Optimization
is the process of altering your site so that it may rank well for
particular terms with search engines. Search engine submission refers
to the process of submitting your web site URL to the search engine
so that they know your site exists and they can visit your site
and index it. Either of these will not help on a stand-alone basis.
Getting listed through submissions does not mean that you will necessarily
rank well for particular terms. It simply means that the search
engine knows your pages exist. Search Engine Optimization addresses
the optimization of your site’s Title tags, Meta Tags, keyword
phrases, keyword density, visible text, code restructuring, site
navigation analysis and improvements and other critical areas, which
improve search engine ranking.
Search Engine Positioning – Getting you a high rank
Search Engine Optimization is a complex process, which is carried
out after extensive research of your industry, competitors, keyword
research and your site analysis. There's a big difference between
just putting together ‘Meta tags’ and ‘Optimizing’
your site for high rankings in the search engines. A very very big
difference! We have been tracking the evolution and algorithms of
search engines since early 1995, an era when Google™ was not
yet born and AltaVista™, then owned by Digital™, was
being served as a subdomain altavista.digital.com, while their actual
domain altavista.com was being abused by a domain squatter. Over
the last 7 years, we have helped several companies formulate and
roll out their online marketing strategies targeted towards search
engine positioning. We keep ourselves abreast with the latest search
engine news, developments and keenly track the evolution of their
algorithms.
