			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Once you have your new website, you need to get visitors to it. So how do you <strong>generate traffic to your website</strong>? This article outlines four important steps to follow to start generating some traffic to your website:</p>
<ol>
<li>Have <strong>unique content</strong> on your website. Search engine robots look at all websites on a regular basis looking for sites with good content. It is important for you to have fresh and high quality content to get your website quickly indexed by the search engines.</li>
<li>Have your <strong>keywords</strong> on your website. It is important that you have all the relevant keywords and phrases that relate to your business on your web pages. This will increase your website ranking on search engines. If your website shows when people type keywords relating to your products or services in Google&#8217;s search box, you will get many visitors coming to your site via the search engines. When people visit your website, the high quality content you have, will make people spend more time on your site and ultimately contact you or buy some of the products or services you offer.</li>
<li>Because your website is new, the search engines don&#8217;t know that it exists. <strong>Submitting your website to the search engines</strong> is an important step towards getting visitors. It also helps to get indexed fast to tweet about your new website, or submit it to social bookmarking websites like Digg.com.</li>
<li><strong>Get links</strong> from websites that have a high popularity rank and high authority in the eyes of the search engines. Submitting your website to popular and related web directories or local directories like Yellow Pages or Google Local Maps is an effective way to drive traffic to your website, and improve the raking of your site. You will also get some traffic coming to your website through other websites that you have linked to.</li>
</ol>
<p>When your website was designed by <strong><a href="http://www.websitesare.us">Websites Are Us, your San Diego web designer</a></strong>, you can be sure to get a website with &#8216;on-site&#8217; search engine optimization, meaning your website is optimized in content and code and ready for the search engines to be picked up. We also make sure that Google, Yahoo and Bing know about your website&#8217;s existence.  However, to rank in front positions in the search engines for your targeted keywords, it is necessary to start &#8216;off-site&#8217; <strong><a href="http://www.websitesare.us/search-engine-optimization/">search engine optimization</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As in many other areas of web site design, a long-standing argument exists between those who feel that learning and practicing SEO should be done in-house, vs. those who feel it is best left to the professionals. There are advantages to either side, and it&#8217;s best to weigh these against each other when making a final decision:</p>
<ul>
<li>Experience &#8211; Professionals with several years of SEO experience under their belts can tell you what to expect from the search engines as you conduct the optimization process. They can also interpret and understand rankings data and &#8220;hiccups&#8221; in the results that may indicate certain trends or strategies that should be implemented or avoided.</li>
<li>Pre-Existing Relationships &#8211; Many SEOs have contacts inside the SEO industry to folks with experience in certain fields, expertise in unique areas (i.e. press releases, article distribution, directories, etc.) that can have a great impact on the success of your efforts. Several SEOs even have personal relationships with the folks at the search engines, although the use of these contacts is very rare and SE representatives pride themselves on not showing favoritism.</li>
<li>Link Building Knowledge &#8211; Professionals will have the ability to quickly identify topical communities and the most popular and relevant sites in them, saving time when link building. SEOs also have considerable experience with link acquisition, and will recognize the requirements of certain sites for paid links, link requests, etc.</li>
<li>Identifying Linkable Content &#8211; SEOs are often masters of crafting and launching content. Not only can they identify the content most likely to get links from the specific web community, they&#8217;re also experienced in how to package and promote it.</li>
<li>Fixing Possible Problems &#8211; Professionals are competent at identifying and managing issues that can cause a lack of indexing, low rankings or penalties from the search engines. This is a skill that can be very hard to develop without years of practice and experience. If you have a ranking issue, an SEO can be of great value.</li>
<li>Time Savings &#8211; SEO can be an exceptionally time-consuming endeavor. An experienced SEO has the processes and systems of optimization down to a science, and can use that efficiency to provide better service in less time.</li>
</ul>
<p>However, there are also advantages of Do-It-Yourself SEO:</p>
<ul>
<li>Complete Control &#8211; With personal responsibility comes complete control for each element of your site&#8217;s progress. There can be no question as to who or what created a link or modified a document.</li>
<li>Learn from Your Actions &#8211; The ebb and flow of the SERPs will quickly teach an amateur SEO what what works and what doesn&#8217;t. Certain links, timing and on-page changes will be fully visible and recordable, making it a learning process.</li>
<li>Personal Responsibility &#8211; Your success or failure will depend entirely on your own efforts, narrowing responsibility and preventing overlaps in work or issues of blame.</li>
<li>Cost Savings &#8211; Doing SEO yourself means you don&#8217;t have to pay someone else. If you find that your time is less expensive than hiring an outsourced provider, do-it-yourself SEO can be a great way to save money.</li>
</ul>
<p>With this information in mind, you&#8217;re prepared to make an informed decision whether to use a professional <a href="http://www.websitesare.us">San Diego SEO company</a> to get your website ranked higher on Google.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Search engines have a short list of critical operations that allows them to provide relevant web results when searchers use their system to find information.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Crawling the Web</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Search engines run automated programs, called &#8220;bots&#8221; or &#8220;spiders&#8221; that use the hyperlink structure of the web to &#8220;crawl&#8221; the pages and documents that make up the World Wide Web. Estimates are that of the approximately 20 billion existing pages, search engines have crawled between 8 and 10 billion.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Indexing Documents</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Once a page has been crawled, it&#8217;s contents can be &#8220;indexed&#8221; &#8211; stored in a giant database of documents that makes up a search engine&#8217;s &#8220;index&#8221;. This index needs to be tightly managed, so that requests which must search and sort billions of documents can be completed in fractions of a second.</p>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Processing Queries</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">When a request for information comes into the search engine (hundreds of millions do each day), the engine retrieves from its index all the document that match the query. A match is determined if the terms or phrase is found on the page in the manner specified by the user. For example, a search for car and driver magazine at Google returns 8.25 million results, but a search for the same phrase in quotes (&#8220;car and driver magazine&#8221;) returns only 166 thousand results. In the first system, commonly called &#8220;Findall&#8221; mode, Google returned all documents which had the terms &#8220;car&#8221; &#8220;driver&#8221; and &#8220;magazine&#8221; (they ignore the term &#8220;and&#8221; because it&#8217;s not useful to narrowing the results), while in the second search, only those pages with the exact phrase &#8220;car and driver magazine&#8221; were returned. Other advanced operators (Google has a list of 11) can change which results a search engine will consider a match for a given query.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Ranking Results</strong></li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Once the search engine has determined which results are a match for the query, the engine&#8217;s algorithm (a mathematical equation commonly used for sorting) runs calculations on each of the results to determine which is most relevant to the given query. They sort these on the results pages in order from most relevant to least so that users can make a choice about which to select.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Although a search engine&#8217;s operations are not particularly lengthy, systems like Google, Yahoo and Bing are among the most complex, processing-intensive computers in the world, managing millions of calculations each second and funneling demands for information to an enormous group of users.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 class="blue">How Does Search Engine Optimization Work?</h3>
<p>Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the art to optimize your website in order to rank on top positions in the search engines without having to pay for advertising.</p>
<h3 class="blue">Do I Really Need Search Engine Optimization For My Website?</h3>
<p>These days, you have to work very hard on getting the search engines to notice your website. Without a proactive approach to optimizing your web presence, you website&#8217;s only visitors will be you and your family and friends. But imagine what it will do to your business, when your website shows up for free on Google&#8217;s front page, every time a searcher is looking for the product or service you are offering!</p>
<h3 class="blue">How Long Does It Take?</h3>
<p> You can get<strong> </strong>free top rankings in a matter of months, weeks, or even days &#8211; it all depends on finding the right &#8216;keywords&#8217;. However, if you select the &#8217;wrong&#8217; keyword &#8211; e.g. a highly competitive term like &#8216;life insurance&#8217; or &#8216;real estate&#8217; &#8211; your website will most likely never be among the first 100 results&#8230; The good news is : Websites Are Us knows many other ways to get you lots of visitors to your website - without you having to pay a high fee to Google every time a visitor clicks on your link! </p>
<h3 class="blue">What is &#8216;On Site&#8217; Search Engine Optimization?</h3>
<p>On Site Search Engine Optimization is the overall job of ensuring that your website content is accessible, suitable and indexable by the search engines. For the content for example, your site needs to have relevant content with the right relation between keyword density and page copy. For the architecture, it means e.g. having a targeted title and Meta description, headers and image alt tags, and providing some &#8216;extra help&#8217; to the spiders in forms of intelligent robots and sitemap files.</p>
<h3 class="blue">What is &#8216;Off Site&#8217; Search Engine Optimization?</h3>
<p>Even more important that having a well structured website with great content is Off Site Search Engine Optimization. Your ranking in the search engines is mainly determined by the &#8216;link popularity&#8217; of your website. Think of &#8216;links&#8217; to your website as &#8216;votes&#8217; from other websites for your site. The more other relevant and high ranking websites link to yours, the more popular it is in the eyes of the search engines, and the higher they will rank it. You can get a good part of such links by listing your website in local or specialty directories, being present on the many social network or social bookmarking websites or even publishing &#8216;how-to-videos&#8217; on YouTube. However, as web marketing techniques become more and more sophisticated in an ongoing cat and mouse game with the ever-changing search engine algorithms, it becomes harder and harder to secure good quality, relevant links, and the risk to be &#8216;penalized&#8217; by the search engines if it is done unprofessionally or in a &#8216;spammy&#8217; way is big.</p>
<p>When your website is optimized On Site and strategical and consistent Off Site promotion is done, <strong>you will see a dramatic improvement in your website&#8217;s positioning in the search engines</strong>. It&#8217;s not easy to get top 10 rankings on Google but it&#8217;s also not difficult for those who know how to do it.</p>

<h2>Free Search Engine Ranking</h2>
<p>While websites that pay for advertising on Google, Yahoo and Bing appear on the top and right side in the  search engines results, a <a href="http://www.websitesare.us/search-engine-optimization/">free or &#8216;organic&#8217; list of websites</a> shows in the center of the search result pages.

<h2>How Do I Get My Website On Google?</h2>
<p>Do you know how to get your website on <strong>Google&#8217;s front page</strong> without having to pay an arm and a leg for advertising? How to make it appear among the first 10 &#8216;organic&#8217; free search results Google selects for each search term?</p>
<p>It sounds like an easy question, and many think the answer is as easy as just &#8216;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl">submitting your website to Google</a>&#8216;.</p>
<p>If it was that easy to get high rankings on Google then everybody could get high rankings. However, it&#8217;s obvious that only 10 websites will make it to Google&#8217;s front page for a given search phrase and Google chooses these websites carefully.</p>
<p>In fact, <strong>appearing on Google&#8217;s front page has become a pretty complicated subject</strong>. These days, the three major players in the search engine business are <a rel="”nofollow”" href="http://www.google.com/maps?host=www.google.com&amp;hl=en&amp;q=%22websites+are+us%22&amp;near=&amp;latlng=33164472%2C-117241120%2C13679996786927756597&amp;mrt=yp" target="_blank">Google</a>, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://local.yahoo.com/info-48480778-san-diego-web-designer-websites-are-us-vista;_ylt=Ai7UqVEGw1px0.10gMhH5uOHNcIF;_ylv=3?csz=Vista%2C+CA">Yahoo</a> and Bing. Google accounts for about 70 percent of all online searches, followed by Yahoo and Bing with each about 12-15 percent. Far behind are Ask and others with 5 percent. </p>
<p>To show up in the search engines free search results without having to pay for advertising, your website of course needs to be listed with these search engines. But simply submitting your site is like purchasing a lottery ticket &#8211; it doesn&#8217;t mean you are the winner of a top position. It simply means that the search engine knows your website exist.</p>
<p>If you have no or little competition you might rank well for your particular product or service term, but if you are providing services similar to hundreds or thousands of other companies, you probably won&#8217;t find your website among the first 100 search results in Google&#8217;s or Yahoo.</p>
<p>So, going back to our example with the lottery ticket &#8211; what can you do to increase your odds of winning? The answer is: <strong>Search Engine Optimization</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.websitesare.us/search-engine-optimization/">Optimize your web site</a> and you are likely to get more traffic from search engines.</p>
