Resources/Tips

SEO Tips (Search Engine Optimization)

• Search engines deliver over 85% of traffic to your website. Links from other Web Pages account for 88%.
• It can take 3 months or more to get ranked on the top search engines.
• Optimizing is a continual process because of search engine updates, changes in your competition, changes on your website, and current events.

Google Base
Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all type of online and offline content that Google hosts and makes searchable online. Google Base listings are showing up in Google results screens. If you do a search for "jobs" on Google you should see the one box form. Check out the above link for more information. According to one of our resources, "If you haven't already listed your products in Google Base, this is a good incentive to do so. By leveraging your Google Base listings to appear in these new one-box results, you may be able to indirectly get on the first page in Google without actually having to go through the process of optimizing your pages to rank high in Google's organic search results."
