SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the term that describes all the techniques and tips that web developers and web designers use to increase the page rank and position of a website on the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).
One of the best ways to attract a lot of user attention and establish
a stronghold in the online advertising space is to 'optimize' your
website for search engines. The advertising real estate is boundless and
limitless in its capacity to accommodate advertisers and owners
offering various services and products. However, at the end of the day,
only effective optimization of a website will help a select few make the
final cut.
Search engine
optimization involves asking yourself three main questions:
A.
Is my website professional looking?
B. Will first
time visitors become returning visitors and then potential clients and
buyers?
C. If I were an Internet surfer, would I
trust this website to make a financial transaction?
The answer to
the first and the second question is fairly simple. A professional
looking website has a well-designed home page. The text on the website
is clear, precise and free of grammatical errors. Users can determine
what the website is all about within the first five seconds of viewing
the page. There are no loud images, pop-ups and pop-unders that divert
user attention. Videos, if any, look sophisticated and suit the theme of
the website.
The answer to the third question is one single
word: "https." The transaction/payment gateway pages are secure pages.
