Web Ranking - Make sure your site is seen by potential customers

There's no point in having your own web site if no one can find it when they search for what they want. With more than 290 million web sites in use world wide, when customers  use Google or Yahoo to search for information, they only tend to look at the first two pages of search results. If your site does not achieve a decent 'ranking' in the various web search statistics, no one will even see it, let alone pay a visit.

To give you an example, if you sell ink jet printer cartridges in Lincolnshire, there are 1,140 web sites that currently come up, when you type "inkjet cartridges, Lincolnshire" into the search bar on Google, so how do you get your site in the top 20 that are listed? You could opt for what is called 'paid submission', where you pay a fee to each major search engine (Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, Lycos, Alta Vista etc) to list your web highly. The cost of this varies from between £75 to £500 per search engine and incredibly, paying them guarantees you nothing if you read the small print! Unless you are a large company, the cost of this is prohibitive. 

78% of people searching the web today, use either Google or Yahoo, and paid submission is simply not a cost effective option in either case, but there are steps we can take to improve your web sites ranking in the overall scheme of things.

At MBS we have the experience and knowledge to help you improve your web ranking. We start during the web design stage, by looking at the keywords used in the text of your web, comparing them to successful sites already highly ranked and emulating the same thing, even down to naming images being used with keywords where possible. We take care to word the text of your web site so key words are repeated as often as possible whilst still retaining sensibly worded pages.

It doesn't end there. To get high rankings on Google and Yahoo, their search engine software looks for specific things as it crawls and indexes the world wide web, such as regularly updated content of more than 250 new words per month, how many other sites link into or point to your web and a number of other unique things that MBS know all about.  It is possible to achieve a high ranking for almost any web site, given this knowledge and a little time.
