How to optimise your website for worldwide attention

15/06/2009 send to a friend
The Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. Now, instead of real-time conversations between two people, we all have the ability to communicate on a global scale. The Internet gives you access to a customer base that is on the biggest of stages – quite literally, the world. Paul Myers shows how to optimize your site and make the most of this brave new world.
Are you ready to go global?
It is possible for you to reach out to the world whilst building an intimate bond with each individual customer. Here are some tips on how to optimize your site so you can really be sure that the world comes knocking on your virtual home office door.
How to optimize your site for search engines
- Choose the right keywords that will get your site noticed. Choose the same keywords your customers are most likely to use – words they’ll be using on the search engines to find you. Use them consistently throughout your site.
- Make sure all text on your site is written with the search engines in mind. Keyword usage within your site’s text will improve its ranking during searches.
- Be proactive and submit your site to search engines and other directories, rather than assume they’re going to find you. This ensures your site is being cataloged and will alert you to any issues that might hurt your rankings.
- Review your site’s content on a regular basis. Content must be fresh and relevant in order to keep visitors returning to your site. And you will want to keep your keyword presence up throughout the site as you update it.
- Use a data analysis tool (such as Google Analytics) to review your site’s traffic and track how well your changes are impacting your site. You’ll gain valuable insight into your site’s traffic – what search engines are sending visitors to you, what countries and states they reside in, how well you’re converting visitors to sales, etc. You will also get a clearer picture of what keywords they’re using to look for you. Modify your keywords if you determine a trending phrase that will improve website traffic.
