Search-Engine Optimization
Search-engine optimization (SEO), the art of increasing traffic to your
site through high page rankings in search results, is a WASSER specialty.
Search engines used to be little more than plain-text searches; the order
of results would be based on the frequency of keywords in the page. They
also relied heavily on metatags—keywords in the HTML that were intended
specifically for search engines. Now, the tactics have changed, and WASSER
can help build your site, populate content, and develop pay-per-click
campaigns to increase relevance and traffic for your site.
Focused Content Development
WASSER staff members have real-life experience running successful SEO
campaigns. As part of the site-design process, WASSER will work with you to
determine which keywords to target, locate potential sources for incoming
links, and develop optimized content to help your site rank highly.
Keywords
Targeting the right keywords is crucial to search-engine optimization.
Accurate keywords will produce traffic that is relevant to your site. You
need to rank highly in searches that people who are interested in your
company or site will actually perform.
Site Optimization
Google revolutionized the quality of search results by using a technology
called PageRank. PageRank examines the number and quality of incoming links
to a Web page to help determine how important it is and what it’s about.
While Google looks closely at which other sites link to yours, having the
right content in your site is still critical. Google not only counts links
from external sites toward your PageRank, but also links from pages within
your own site. The more unique, interlinked, and relevant pages on your Web
site, the better, and WASSER helps you develop those pages.
Pay-per-Click
A number of search engines (including Google) have begun to offer
“pay-per-click” advertising. Advertisers create small text ads and specify
keywords that they would like to trigger their ads. These ads are then
displayed as part of or alongside search results. Participants are charged
only when a user actually clicks on the ad. WASSER can help you create and
manage this type of campaign.
