Is The Idea Of Search Engine Advertising An Art Or A Discipline
There is no doubt that the best way to maximise an Internet business is to have a Page 1 Google search engine listing for the most popular keywords that are appropriate to the product or service being promoted. There are well used and proven techniques adopted by the Online Marketing professionals, supported by Google’s own advice, that will lead to better Search Engine Placement and logic would dictate that an eventual page 1 ranking will be inevitable. Or possibly not.
An experienced and reputable Search engine optimization company will confirm to you that it is not always the case and the reasons for lower than anticipated Search Engine Placement are not always simple to spot or indeed rectify.
The basic principles of Online Marketing are well known (although not always well practiced) in that there are several on page and off page criteria that the Google robots are designed to respond to; but if it were just as easy as that then a hard working website optimization company would merely have to follow the received wisdom as far as page building and keyword positioning was concerned, and voila, all clients could expect their website to be on Page 1.
Where this falls down is that although the website creation and off-page content will take only you so far (there is no doubt that, as a minimum a successful website should be wholly optimized in this respect); it is the natural development of the site that ensures the progression of the site through the Google pages towards the ideal page 1 listing.
Organic development depends on a number of criteria, first of all, understanding buyer actions and there the most effective keywords used when potential customers are searching for your product or service. Secondly, creating content that accurately and effectively supports that keyword, thirdly offering that content throughout the Internet via the most efficient delivery system (whether that be a third party content site or directly onto sites and blogs valued highly by Google).
The fourth and arguably the most crucial criteria is that the quality and delivery of that content, is better than your rivals especially if you are a Search engine optimization company seeking to promote your services for example, where without doubt the competition for the Page 1 status should be the most fierce.
How though, do you make certain that the content is 100% effective? It has to be appropriate, unique and of value to a particular site and also it has to be provided in enough quantity for it to make an impression amongst the millions of Gigabytes of content available on the web.
Google however doesn’t give all it’s secrets away. There are a number of questions that I have yet to see any concrete answers to, for example, what level of activity and content generation gives a place on Page 1 and what definition of quality does Google apply to it algorithms.
The truth of course is that it is a changing question and the answers depend on the quality and activity of the competition – which is tricky to assess.
