The Importance Of SEO For Website Design

It is wrong to think that making a website is just a case of putting together some text and pictures, getting it online, and then sitting back as the money rolls in.

If generating sales is the aim of your website then you will need to think about more than just the look of it.

First of all, if you just put a website online it will do nothing. It will not be indexed it, it will not generate sales and it will just sit there like a minimart in a forest.

If you want to be found online, here’s what you need to do.

You need to think about what keywords potential customers will type into search engines when looking for the product or service that you are offering. Make your website URL includes these keywords if possible. As an example, if your keyword is ‘website design’ and you are targeting the Cork area, it would be ideal to have the following web address - http://CorkWebsiteDesign.net.

Make sure you have all titles and header including your keyword’s. Also, make sure you get your keyword ratio for your site text approximately at 5% of words being keywords. The point of this is that it makes it easier for search engines to work out what your website is about. The more they know about this, the more favourably they will rank your website in their search results..

Did you notice how that website design incorporates regionalism? By adding a location to the keyword you instantly remove the vast amount of competing websites as your competition. You get more focused and targeted visitors to your site, which is great because the more focused and targeted they are, the more likely you are to make a sale.

Having made sure that your on-site SEO is in place, you next need to look at “backlinking”. If you over look this aspect of SEO, Google, Yahoo and Bing will almost certainly ignore your website. Your website will be ranked according to how accurately you have performed your SEO and the amount of sites that are linking to yours. The aim here is to get as many other websites to link to yours as possible. The more links you get, the higher your website will rank.

These are just a few of the techniques that can be used, but this is of course more to it than this.
