Search engines.
Does anyone know you're out there?
What's the use in having a nice spanking new web site with no-one being able to find it? Surprisingly many designers still ignore the importance of creating a web site that is search engine friendly. Its all good and well having the worlds most impressive web site, but with no visitors it all becomes a little pointless. We design web sites that are as search engine friendly as possible without having to resort to any trickery or jiggery-pokery. We've been doing it this since we started. We quickly began to value the importance of this when our web sites were becoming more and more successful on the search engines and more people were approaching us to have their web sites re-designed.
We'll have no cheating here.
We don't use tricks to get to a good search engine ranking. Just good, clean code and an excellent working knowledge of how search engines work. You've probably been called on the phone by someone telling you that they can get you guaranteed placement on the first page of the search engines - for a price. Having seen how some of these schemes work, they do seem incredibly dodgy! We often joke in the office about seeing SEO companies with a 'Click here to get me to the top of Google' buttons on their websites! When it comes to search engines, honesty really is the best policy. If you do need to bolster your web site's ranking, it's probably wise to use one of the 'paid inclusion' or 'ad-words' methods offered by Google or Overture. Also consider adding your web site to one of the online directories such as Applegate
