Search Engine Optimisation is a necessity to a websites success in today's internet society. Most people with internet access will use a search engine such as google to find out any information about any business related issues as their first port of call. To place your site at a respectable ranking (first 3 pages) so people searching under your chosen keywords will have a better chance of finding your site and with a well described description hopefully it will encourage them to click their mouse. This is where search engine optimisation plays its role.

I believe the way to good search engine rankings is not using the latest SEO Software but researching the market you are promoting, think of keywords you would use to find the services they offer, use these keywords/phrases in the copy, descriptions and titles as much as possible, use all the relevant meta tags, add all alt tags, incoming links from as many relevant websites as possible. The pages will need minor tweaking over a few months period but if these exercises are thought about and implemented at the conception of a project then the final results will almost certainly be favourable.

 
 

Example SEO - Cross Keys Public House
I was asked to design a website for a local village public house in Hatfield Peverel, Essex called The Cross Keys they wanted a presence on the web so people looking for a public house in essex will be able to find their site. I thought this was a good example to test my knowledge of building search engine friendly pages and built the site using the above practices. Once live a submitted the site personally to all the major search engines, then spent some time searching using my keywords and obtaining as many free links as possible on relevant sites by doing this it enhances the chances of the spider logging the site. After a few months I am receiving the top rank in google for quite a few of my chosen keywords which is what a set out to do.

I believe this is a very important part of any websites existence and is included with any website I design and build.
