web site design - search engine optimisation

web site design & search engine optimisation

Search Engines

After the web site design process is completed, the project is by no means finished. Your web site now needs to be optimised and submitted to search engines.

It is generally believed that all that is required is to be listed on as many search engines as possible.

This is simply not true and, unless you are extremely lucky, will not work.

Here's why:

Many services will offer to register you with hundreds of search engines.

What they fail to tell you is that many of the engines you will be listed on are foreign language search engines.
Many of the search engines you will be listed on will be of a specialist nature, like Science, which is only any use to companies offering products or services to the science community.
Many services masquerading as search engines are not search engines at all. They exist to collect e-mail addresses, which must be given when submitting your site.

These are some of the techniques used in order to fullfil the promise of listing your company on hundreds of search engines.

In contrast to this Portal 2000 offers a personalised service that will work for your company.

If you have taken advantage of our "Initial Page Optimisation" service we will register your web site with the top twenty most popular search engines free of charge.
Portal 2000 will register your web site with a further twenty less used but useful search engines.
Each and every one of your web pages will be optimised for maximum prominence on all the major search engines.
