The internet has invaded our lives and established itself as a daily necessity. Most people have access to the internet either through the home, work or even during play and it has allowed us to gather information like never before. One problem, the internet has grown so much that making sense of all the available information is truly mind-boggling. Do a simple search on a web browser and you get hundreds if not thousands of pages from which only a handful are truly useful for your particular application. The internet used to work with a program called a spider that goes through each and every web page indexing and storing all the information onto a database. That database has indeces as to what they are more likely to be relevant to a search that they are presented accordingly. Newer search engines have evolved into a sort of artificial intelligence that not only matches the words in your search but the manner and way the words co-relate to each other meaning it understands what you mean, or at least it tries to. The problem is that the total amount of information that is stored and added onto the millions of web servers are enormous and trying to handle all of them while dealing with information that is already there is quite next to impossible. Time may come when you get answers that you need as you mean them but for now, we still have to deal with a lot of garbage that finds it’s way though the search engine to your desktop leaving you to sort and determine their true value.smartsearch.jpg

Web Site Optimization – An Event or a Process?

Date: January 25th, 2008

Without doubt, the most frequent question my Web site customers ask is; can you make our Web site appear on the first page of the search results?  You can spend hours developing excellent site content; however, if no one can find it there is little marketing value.  Of course, all marketing literature and advertising will list the Web site address but this will reach an extremely small segment of the potential Internet audience. 

When I speak of search engine performance, I am referring to how a site does on Google, Yahoo, and MSN. Forget all the spam messages that promise to submit your site to 300 plus search engines. If you do well on these three, you will capture over 85% of the market and do well on most other small engines. Many smaller search companies actually purchase their search content from Google or Yahoo. 

It is no longer necessary to submit your site to the search engines as long as it is linked from another site that is currently listed on Google and Yahoo. Most of the companies promising to do “mass” site submissions using automated software are frowned upon by the “big three” search engines. The spiders will find your site by following links from other listed sites. This is where a link from an Internet service directory such as IHR.com or InfertilitySpecialist.com can be valuable (more about links later). The only directory I specifically submit to is DMOZ.org which is a “human reviewed”

directory that is used by others such as AOL. One way to learn if your site has been added is to type your URL (domain name) into the search engines and see if it appears.
