Search Engine Optimization
  • What Is It?

    Search Engine Optimization is the active practice of optimizing a web site by improving internal and external aspects in order to increase the traffic to the site receives from search engines.  Firms that practice SEO can vary; some have a highly specialized focus, while others take a more broad and general approach.  Optimizing a web site for search engines can require looking at so many unique elements that many practitioners of SEO (SEOs) consider themselves to be in the broad field of website optimization (since so many of those elements intertwine).
    Search engine optimization combines processes, features, additions and ongoing changes to a website in order to achieve top rankings and create many probabilities of key phases for web visitor search your company website in the major search engines. Google, Yahoo and MSN all look for different ranking criteria. A good SEO firm can make your site friendly to all three of these search engines at once and MOST IMPORTANTLY generate relevant web traffic to your site and subsequently generate more enquiries to your business.  An ethical Search Engine Optimization company will ensure you can receive high number of enquiries for your business and NOT just get keyword rank top pages but without any relevant enquiries.

    Why You Need Search Engine Optimization

    Search engine traffic has been increasing at an even more rapid rate than Internet usage. According to Jupiter Media Metrix, 80 percent of Internet users start off in search engines before they buy a product or service online.  Not appearing in the top listings for your specific keywords / key phrases can be the difference between the success or failure of your online business.   Getting to the top ranking is all about QUALITY of your website contents.

I have attempted to list here many of the link building tactics used by the SEO community.

  • File Formats Optimization
    Beyond simple HTML files, search engines are now indexing other file formats such as PDF files, Word files, Excel files, etc. These files can be optimized to improve the results when search engines index them.

    • Ranking / Positioning Report: Lists all keywords by search engines and their respective ranking. The detailed reports include ranking for root and branch pages.
    • Original Ranking: Reports current ranking compared to ranking prior to the SEO campaign for each keywords.
    • Submission Report: Lists the last time submissions were made to each of the search engines. The detailed reports include specific submission information to the directories.
    • Link Report: Lists all new external inbound links from other websites and external outbound links to other websites.
    • Search Engine Maintenance Report: Journals all activities associated with a SEO campaign.

  • Maintenance
    At Nexus we continue analyze results and revise tactics to maintain or improve search engine positioning.  Optimization work continues long after the optimized site is launched. The continued areas of effort fall into 4 basic categories:
    • Analysis and revision of page optimization: To maintain top ranking, SEO Analysts must evaluate the results and make tactical modifications based on performance observations.
    • Adaptation to search engine algorithm changes: Search engines are constantly modifying their ranking algorithms. It is not unusual to see several changes each year for each search engine. These changes must be identified and analyzed in order to maintain top rankings.
    • External link structure maintenance: Websites change their design. These changes can affect or "break" inbound or outbound external links which can adversely affect website ranking.
    • Continued submissions to search engines:Over time, search engines "clean house" and drop older site pages from their database. Sometimes pages are dropped inadvertently. Whether purposely or not, search engines must be monitored continually to be sure website pages are properly indexed or resubmit pages that have been dropped. To improve positioning or placement in search engines, web pages should be re-submitted over the period of time.


  • Optimization of “robot.txt” file
    The robots.txt file is a set of instructions for visiting robots (spiders) that index the content of your web site pages. For those spiders that obey the file, it provides a map for what they can, and cannot index.

  • Sitemap Creation
    A site map is a page on your site that lists and describes all, or at least the most important, pages of your site.  A site map is valuable for both search engines and your visitors. For search engines, it makes it easy for them to find all of the pages of your site. For your visitors, it is helpful in navigating your site and finding the information they need and we do it specifically to fulfill the criteria of Google, and Yahoo.
