Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to your website from search engines via "natural" search results - in other words, SEO will help your website continually come up at the top of the search list. As a useful internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work and what people actually search for. Optimizing a website primarily involves editing its content (See "Professional Scripting") and HTML to both increase its relevance to specific keywords and to remove barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. SEO is probably the most worth while investment you can make into your new website!

According to Google, if you're thinking about hiring a Search Engine Optimizer, the earlier the better. A great time to hire is when you're considering a site redesign, or planning to launch a new site. That way, you and your SEO can ensure that your site is designed to be search engine-friendly from the bottom up.
