StrategicAffiliates.com
can help with your search engine marketing needs...... |
| |
Online
search is the most widely used method of attracting qualified
visitors to your Web site. According to Jupiter Research,
82% of online shoppers know exactly what they want when
they log onto the Internet and almost half of them use
search engines to find solutions and vendors. With research
confirming that the vast majority of searches end within
the first two pages of results, prominent placement on
the Internet’s major search engines through effective
search engine optimization is of critical importance.
StrategicAffiliates.com’s natural search optimization
services are designed to get your Website noticed when
potential buyers are looking for the products and services
you have to offer. We achieve this by targeting the Internet’s
major search properties in order to drive self-qualified
prospects to your site - the specific audiences that are
looking for your products and/or services. The process
begins with the effective selection of the basic building
blocks for your natural search optimization campaign…
your keywords. |

Engine Optimization Step 1 - Keyword Analysis |
| |
Knowing
what words and phrases people use to search the Web is
an essential component of any well-executed search engine
positioning campaign. StrategicAffiliates.com’s
keyword analysis program takes the “guess work”
out of determining which keyword phrases you should be
targeting.
The keyword analysis and selection phase of our search
engine positioning process identifies the proper keywords
to target ensuring that the most qualified users will
find the specific pages within your site that are relevant
to their search query.
StrategicAffiliates.com
will analyze your Website log files and perform a comprehensive
competitive analysis using our proprietary web analytics
technology to identify the most effective keywords for
your search engine positioning campaign.

Engine Optimization Step 2 – Competitive Analysis |
| |
The
competitive analysis phase of the search engine optimization
process will help you size up your competition and provide
you with the tools necessary to achieve and maintain your
rightful position at the top of the search engines. After
establishing the most effective keywords for your Website,
StrategicAffiliates.com will prepare a comprehensive competitive
analysis and baseline report showing you exactly where
you stand relative to your competitors for these keywords.
This phase of the search
engine optimization process will yield the foundational
data necessary to achieve the competitive advantages
needed to outperform your competitors on the search
engines and gain valuable market share. |

Search
Engine Optimization Step 3 – Content Enhancement |
| |
Once
effective keywords have been agreed upon, and a strategy
has been formulated for outperforming competitors, StrategicAffiliates.com
will perform the content enhancement phase of the search
engine optimization process.
As the title implies, content enhancement involves the
modification of Website content. During this phase of
the process, StrategicAffiliates.com will make recommendations
to manipulate the current placement of existing content,
add new content, or even remove existing content in certain
circumstances.
Since the end goal of
the search engine optimization process is to achieve
prominent placement for the right keywords, rather than
tricking the search engines into listing your pages,
we will need to ensure that the appropriate keywords
are incorporated into your site in an appropriate manner.
Simply including these keywords into your content is
not enough. StrategicAffiliates.com has years of experience
in constructing site content in a search engine friendly
format.
StrategicAffiliates.com will also work with your Website
editors so that future content (press releases, new
products, etc…) will remain synergistic with your
newly optimized content. |

Search
Engine Optimization Step 4 – Code Enhancement |
| |
Effective
copy writing is only part of the battle when it comes
to making your Website search engine friendly. Regardless
of how complex search engines seem, they are not yet complex
enough to read all content that the web browsers display.
While flash, Java script, DHTML, and framing technologies
may look great to the end user, they can stop a search
engine spider dead in its tracks and prohibit your Website
from being crawled effectively.
Even if your site has been programmed in pure, easy to
read HTML, you may not be presenting the spider with the
appropriate information. Title, H1, and Meta tags are
all important elements in effective code writing. Search
engines rely on specific code to determine the content
within a Web page.
Database-driven Websites
present yet another obstacle for search engine spiders.
Without proper search engine optimization, much of your
site may be unreadable to search engines. This can have
a significant adverse impact on your sites ability to
generate search engine traffic.
StrategicAffiliates.com has years of experience in
making your code work with your content rather than
against it. |
| |
Search
Engine Optimization Step 5 – Link Enhancement |
| |
Once
the content contained within your site is geared towards
the appropriate keywords and search engine spiders can
effectively navigate your site, the search engines will
attempt to determine the relative importance of your site.
Your site may contain information about a subject, but
how qualified is your site to talk about it?
Relevancy based search
engines use linking to determine the relative credibility
of one site versus another with respect to subject matter.
You may have heard the terms “Link Popularity”
and “Page Rank” through search engine optimization
research. These terms refer to the existence of external
links from sites that link to yours. These links can
have a substantial impact on your ability to achieve
and maintain prominent positioning for the keywords
you covet.
StrategicAffiliates.com
works with you to help increase the number, quality
and manner in which external sites are linked to your
Website. StrategicAffiliates.com works with you to identify
relevant sources for links, where they should direct
traffic to, and how they link.

Engine Optimization Step 6– Code Implementation |
| |
Once
the content, code, and link enhancement processes have
been completed, the net step in the search engine optimization
process is implementation. StrategicAffiliates.com offers
varying levels of implementation to address the individual
needs of our clients.
StrategicAffiliates.com
can implement search engine optimization by preparing
a deliverable that contains a hard copy document and
a custom tailored CD with all the code the client needs
to make changes. This process enables your Web team
to simply paste the optimized code from the CD into
your current pages.
Depending on level of access, StrategicAffiliates.com
can also implement search engine optimization by accessing
your Web servers and uploading the coded pages.
StrategicAffiliates.com
also offers the option of having one of our search engine
optimization consultants implement the optimized code
on your premises. If the client chooses this option,
a StrategicAffiliates.com search engine optimization
consultant will travel to your facility, implement code
changes, and work with your Web team to train them on
the fine points of updating content.
StrategicAffiliates.com’s
search engine optimization consultants have years of
experience in working with content management systems
such as Vignette and Interwoven, as well as shopping
cart systems that can be the source of issues related
to changes in content.

Engine Optimization Step 7– Web Page and Directory
Submission |
| |
The
final step in the search engine optimization process is
to make sure that each of the newly optimized pages are
included in the indexes of all the relevant search engines.
StrategicAffiliates.com hand submits all pages into search
engines and directories.
Directory submission
requires both effective copy writing and a comprehensive
understanding of the search engines. StrategicAffiliates.com
ensures that your directory submissions are in compliance
with the directory’s technical parameters and
ensures that the client’s listings are as keyword
rich and relevant as possible. Proper directory submission
is critical for search engine success.
