Posted by Josh on February 18, 2012 - 4:50 pm
Here at SeeVolution, we specialize in making sure your site is operating at peak performance, but in order to do that, you need two things; a website and traffic. There are plenty of companies willing to give you a turnkey package that includes building your site and then offering SEO/SEM services to advertise it.

Anyone who has spent anytime browsing the web today knows that first impressions, now more than ever, mean everything. Even for the sites that have the coveted top rankings in either organic or paid search results, it’s all too easy to find the next virtual storefront when you come across a site that doesn’t instantly engage you. For business owners this makes finding the right web development company more important than ever. Especially when engaging the consumer can mean taking in consideration everything from browsers, search engines, search engine placement optimization, web accessibility, web standards and other nuances of creating a successful web site.

Siri and Local Search
Some industries evolve quicker than others. I recently watched a documentary on how Jack Daniel’s makes their famous whiskey and it seems today the process is identical to what it was when they first began bottling it. An industry that won’t be able to say the same in 100 years is SEO – or even five years for that matter. With constant innovation in the products used by SEO companies, to the constant revisions of requirements by the Search Engines, it’s not something you can put on autopilot.
Backlinking 101
Posted by Josh on January 16, 2012 - 1:30 pm
The More Inbound Links, the Better.
There are a lot of ingredients that go in to a good SEO recipe. In this post we’ll focus on one of the most important; Backlinks.
Backlinking is the process of publishing links on websites that link back to you. They are important because they play a crucial role in increasing your Google PageRank as well as increasing your search engine visibility which will in turn give you what you really want; more traffic for your site.
Building these links can be quite labor intensive and tedious, and not all backlinks are created equally, so make sure you are doing it right. A link published on a site that is relevant to your content and has a high page ranking will do infinitely more for you that one that doesn’t.
There are a number of ways to get your links on other sites. Here are a few to get you started:
Directory Submissions – These won’t necessarily increase your traffic, but it will increase your Google PageRank. Here is a list of SEO Directories to get you going. Some of these directories require reciprocal links, but keep these to a minimum as you don’t want too many outbound links on your site.
You may have already heard of this Directory.

SEO: Keeping Up with the Kontentians
Posted by Edo on September 27, 2011 - 10:13 am
Content Creation is King
The best tip to follow for SEO content creation is to follow a balanced approach. Optimized content can go a long way in establishing the trustworthiness of a web page and even help the user in making a buying decision.
Creating content based on SEO tips is what takes care of the ranking. The title tags, description tags, and the keyword tags are paramount.
The latest change in Google’s policy is using it’s own title tags for websites that it deems not fundamental enough in their online marketing approach. We still can’t ignore meta tags, specifically the title tags, when creating SEOed copies for the web. So the only thing to do is develop a balance and write for both the search engines as well as for the users who will be reading them.
People first. Google bots second.Â
Utilizing your keywords should come second to making sure your users don’t feel like they are in a chemistry class. So once you have  your keywords extracted and your theme with you, it’s time to create a great user-converting kick but copy by:
- Having the explosion of magnificence right in the title. The title is also the place where the weightage given to a keyword becomes relevant and important. So make sure that you are matching the keywords in the post with each title. The heading can be either tagged by the h1, h2 and h3 (header) tags so that these can be read by Google.
- Similarly follow the lead of the topic you’ve created and create the body of the SEO content copy accordingly. Make sure you’re using the keywords sufficiently. They shouldn’t appear stuffed. You can even use variations if the original keyword or keyword phrases isn’t working.
- Optimized content must also be hyperlinked to other web pages. Links going out from your keyword rich article makes a great SEOed page!
Whatever tips you follow, make sure you’re never over stepping the line because ultimately if the user is not satisfied then you may as well have never written the post in the first place. Do not under any circumstances compromise with your content and make it sound forced and in the worst case, automated.
