Search Engine Optimisation by Linkacity

Search Engine Optimisation

Websites don't just "happen" to rank highly in search engines. The way a website as a whole and its individual pages are built — from the ground up — effects how it is placed in search engines. The criteria used by search engines to rank websites varies from one to another e.g. some rate links highly others less so. But there are several factors that are common to most, knowing these factors and what criteria to to incorporate into a website is called Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

The knowledge of good SEO is not yet widely spread in Europe but that is changing very fast. It is important that your website is built with search-engine position in mind from the beginning.

We know of what makes the search engines "tick" and because they are constantly changing we monitor the changes. We'll use our experience to ensure your website isn't "invisible" on the Web.

We can put your website into the top 20 by using a combination of good design from the outset and doorway pages.

The elements which search engines require for a good ranking are listed below and we include all of them into the design of each website:
  • - Good keyword(s) in the url
  • - Good keyword(s) in the title
  • - Different title, description and keywords for all pages.
  • - Pages properly structured with H1, P, H2, P, P, H2, P, P etc.
  • - Good keywords in IMG ALT attribute
  • - Structured text and a complete set of links in NOFRAMES if the site is framed.
  • - All pages and sites thoroughly cross-linked, not just at top level.
  • - Eliminate '?' and '&' in links.
  • - Inbound links from sites with the same theme wherever possible.
  • - Outbound links to sites with same or higher page rank.
  • - Submission - one for each language

    Incorporating all of the above elements is only part one of the story, part two is the use of doorway pages.

  • Doorway pages by Linkacity
    Much of the available traffic to a site is generated by people using the search facility in their chosen browser. This has encouraged the use of doorway pages.
    A doorway page is a page that resides within the main site that emulates the design of the main site and is optimized for one or two keywords. By carefully choosing the keywords/phrase and incorporating them into a text block of the optimum size, for the intended search engine, the ranking of the doorway page is improved as is the site as a whole.

    Once optimisation is complete we start the process of submitting the relevant pages to your chosen search engines/directories . How your submissions are undertaken has everything to do with whether they're accepted but rest assured we know the rules and follow them for each engine.
