Governments have a natural advantage when it comes to position on the search engines. Search engines, like Google, favor legitimate government sites. There is also a natural trust factor.

		<description><![CDATA[Website search engine marketing and SEO are a priority when starting a business website. While some think SEO and search engine marketing will turn their brand new website into a top ranking Google hit in a few days, this is simply not how SEO or search engine marketing works. SEO is a process that requires time, commitment, and patience. A number of marketing and SEO techniques can maximize and expedite improved website ranking in targeted search results, but SEO does not make any website magically appear at the top of a Google search in 2 days. There are some main ingredients, however, that help to market your website with search engines more quickly and effectively.]]></description>

In order to attract visitors, every site should strive to have many related terms ranking high on search engines. There are several ways to increase ranking on popular search engines, especially Google.

Now, to be at all relevant on Google, you must have a search friendly site and a dynamic sitemap.  Google adds and updates new sites to its index each time they crawl the web so you are definitely invited to submit your URL to Google but it can’t stop there. Yes, Google may add you to their index but there is no promise made by Google that all URL’s will be indexed and there are no guarantees about when or if your URL will ever appear.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Search Engine Optimization is the process of utilizing search engine marketing to promote a website resulting in highly visible organic listings on major search engines including Google, Yahoo and Bing. Generally speaking, the more frequently and higher a site appears in the search results, the more visitors the site will receive via the search engine. There are 2 effectively utilized forms of search engine marketing: Organic Listings and Pay per Click (PPC).  Pay per click is an advertising model used on many search engines where advertisers pay the search engine when the ad is clicked and for prime positioning on the search engine site. If you take a look at Google, you may notice that there are a few listings posted on the side of the search results and there may even be listings in a shaded color at the top of the search page. These are the PPC listings which are usually sponsored ads.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The introduction of Google’s Instant Previews has brought with it an increased need for organic SEO rankings as well as a targeted landing page that's informative and to the point. Now before users clicks the search result and goes to your site, they can preview whether your site is relevant to their searches or not. Bottom line:  If you don’t have enough quality backlinks to boost your organic rankings in the SERPs and if your pages are not specifically targeted for the keywords you are optimizing for (including textual and design elements), you are likely to get less traffic and leads from organic results. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The question here is do online reviews affect your SEO rankings? The answer is a resounding yes.

Let’s think logically here, people. Google is a trusted source of information. If you get positive reviews their algorithms should push your website up in a search index. If your business is doing well, and proven to be a reliable source of consumer goods and information, Google wants you on top. Conversely, if you have a ton of bad reviews, you should rank low, or not at all in a Google search index.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Building a strong online business isn’t just about the product or services offered. Developing a strong product line and implementing a marketing plan based on Internet Marketing is essential; but just marketing is not enough. The single greatest factor for determining the overall success of an online business is the conversion rate. The conversion rate or the number of visitors who ‘convert’ to paying customers, can often be improved by addressing the design elements on landing pages, whether they exist on the website itself or are specific landing pages linked to sponsored ads (Pay per Click).Understanding what a landing page is and how design elements can influence a visitor is critical. Landing Page Design and Testing is one of the most effective ways to achieve growth in your online business.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google Places, the latest iteration of Google Local, is now the most powerful local search directory on the net. Google Local Submission ranks local businesses on page 1 of the Search Engine Result Page (SERP), always above the fold.  These listings provide website owners with additional opportunity to be highly visible on page 1 of Google. Google Local Submissions are different than main stream Search Engine Optimization (SEO) which requires many specific steps and ongoing processes to compete for the top organic rankings.  Local Submission merely requires that you register with Google / GooglePlaces providing the necessary information for Google to index your site within the map listings appropriately.  These listings, however, are not influenced by SEO methods and are subject to rotational displays based on the database that Google has for relevant businesses.  Remember, that you don’t actually have to have a website to be listed in GooglePlaces; you just need to be registered and verifiable through Google’s system.]]></description>

Today’s consumers have access not only to websites that offer products and services for sale, but also sites designed to allow users access to almost any kind of information they could want. Researching options and even reading customer reviews, consumers are more educated, and more picky than every before. The massive influx of social media sites and bookmarking sites, along with blogs, forums and even Wikipedia have created an environment where even the most customer services oriented online business needs to engage in a carefully designed system of Search Engine Reputation Management.

		<description><![CDATA[Many business owners erroneously believe that optimizing a website to obtain top ranking results with the major search engines is all that is required to ensure successful conversions. While it is true that the number of visitors a website has is often a determining factor in the number of successful conversions, it should not be considered the only factor. In fact, the overall design and layout of a site, as well as its content, plays an even bigger role in converting a visitor. Websites that are cluttered or confusing will often see most visitors leave their site within 10 seconds. Studies show that the typical website has less than 10 seconds to convince a visitor to stay. Obviously, the design of a site is of paramount importance. North Dakota web site design, in particular, involves a series of techniques designed to encourage North Dakota visitors to click through a North Dakota-based site and hopefully to convert.]]></description>

The truth is, every online business owner must develop a strong marketing plan aimed specifically at increasing their visibility with Google and the other search engines. Carefully marketing your website will increase not only your ranking with search engines; it will also help you to increase your conversions.

		<description><![CDATA[Competition is a fact of life and actually desirable in that it fosters increased quality at lower cost for businesses and consumers alike. However, the race to getting high page rankings can tempt some internet marketing firms to try unethical practices that disobey by attempting to deceive the search engines.  It’s not rare to find internet marketing companies that employ unfair and unethical SEO techniques to achieve top ranks. This type of SEO is typically called "Black Hat" SEO.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[SEO is a complicated process, for a lot of different reasons. One of the biggest ones is the fact that search engine algorithms are a closely guarded trade secret; as secretive as they are, though, it's well known that Google uses well over 100 different factors to determine page rank. Their goal is to make it difficult for webmasters and designers to come up with page ranks that their sites don't deserve. On top of that, the environment changes constantly; what was working in '04 didn't work in '05, and what worked in '08 doesn't work in '10. Here's a roundup of some bad and/or outdated practices for SEO marketing:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Search Engine Ranking is getting a lot of notoriety lately and for good reason. The front pages of Google, Bing, Yahoo, and the like are the online equivalent of a Super Bowl Ad. Although they cost significantly less, they are the most notable and prestigious advertisements available in their medium. High search engine rankings also connect you directly with your target audience in a way not seen in traditional advertising. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) helps you improve your search engine rank through, as the name implies, optimization of your site for search engine friendliness and visibility. This optimization relies on three interrelated factors: technical formatting, content, and popularity.]]></description>

Research shows that the vast majority of people who view your website will X out within ten seconds.

		<description><![CDATA[Search engine optimization (SEO), for those still unfamiliar, uses a variety of techniques to naturally improve a website’s placing in search results. The ultimate purpose is improved traffic. Search engines are a primary source of online traffic, yet less than 20% of internet users look past the first page of search results. The search term “Internet Marketing Services,” for example, returns 92,000,000 results on Google. While appearing on the seventeenth page (161-170) of results is impressive in itself, it’s not going to help you generate much traffic. Achieving Page 1 results is obviously the place to be if you want to be found and drive traffic and sales. You absolutely need SEO to accomplish this.]]></description>

Do you want highly targeted, highly interested traffic coming to your website? Do you want to experience this traffic day in and day out for a consistently long period of time?  If the answers are yes, then, yes, you undoubtedly need SEO. It is a virtual certainty that somewhere out there in that vast internet world, someone, or many someones, want to read what you have to say or buy what you are selling – you just have to reach them. That’s what SEO (Search Engine Optimization) offers; you are simply reaching your target audience by making your company, your products and services visible for exactly the right people; those that are searching for you but don’t yet know your name.]]></description>

For many, ranking high with Google is the ‘holy grail’ of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – and it should be. Google is still the most popular search engine, by far. It should come as no surprise that many people tailor their SEO efforts to Google specifically.  They are often confused and frustrated to find that after all that work, their site is still not ranking on Google. So why?

This requires paying close attention to developments while learning all that has transpired previously.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has a website knows that search engines are the boss. If they're not happy with the content of your site, then no one is because it will never be found by anyone else. Understanding what they ‘like’ and avoiding the things they don’t is the best way to get results. Historically, Google has been the powerhouse – garnering the overwhelming majority of searchers. The reason for this is straight forward; real people love Google because the results are fast and relevant.  With the recent release of Microsoft’s Bing and their partnership with Yahoo, there is more hope for more formidable competition. There are a growing niche of Bing lovers now preferring this search engine based on some of its unique display and access functionalities.  Still, it is still a relatively small player, albeit moving in the right direction.  BUT – how do you optimize a website to achieve first page results on all three of these major engines.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s easy to understand that after all the time, effort and expense of designing a website, you certainly want Google to stand up and take notice.  However, Google isn’t going to just index and crawl all of your pages unless you do the right things, at least not fast enough.  This is important because the foundation of a website’s search engine friendliness begins with the set of steps and techniques we call on-site optimization.  On-site optimization is that portion of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) that properly tells the Google Spiders everything they need to know about your website to understand what the website is all about and how each of the pages within the site relate to each other.]]></description>

This plays an important role in how successfully the search engine can deliver the right results to consumers and casual web surfers that are seeking out information, products and services online. Most search engines find what works for them, and they stick to it. They follow the concept that if it isn't broken, there really isn't any reason to fix it. The Google search engine on the other hand is constantly evolving and changing, which is why it appears to be at the forefront of the search engine arena on a consistent basis.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is looking for ways to increase traffic to their website. Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is sought by many businesses, large and small, in an effort to drive more traffic to their websites to increase sales and profits. This is a reasonable approach as you can’t expect more website traffic without significant increases in keywords rankings.  However, if you are seeking fast results measured in days, weeks or even a few months, you are setting yourself up for wishful thinking and ultimately vulnerable to SEO schemes and “tricks.”  Unfortunately, SEO can take a large amount of time, effort and skill. So, those looking for a quick fix are vulnerable to false and misleading claims of fast and meaningful results.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many online businesses are choosing Sponsored Search as the basis of their advertising programs. Based on the belief that surfers are more likely to click on the first one to three results on a search results page, sponsored search, or PPC allows advertisers to bid for top placement. In Google Searches, these are the yellow shaded listings at the top; there are additional paid ads along the right hand side of the page.  Ads are tied to specific keywords or search terms. Sponsored Search offers an enormous amount of flexibility by allowing advertisers to choose a budget, determine the time of day they wish their ads to appear and tailor the advertisements to fit targeted searchers.]]></description>
