It is possible to optimize your website to appear higher in the search engine’s natural listings as part of an Online Marketing strategy: the ethical method and the unethical method.

These two options are also known as ‘white hat’ and ‘black hat’ processes. While black-hat processes typically may move you up the search rankings quicker, they most defiantly won’t keep you there! They are often short-lived techniques, and in fact can have ruinous consequences; you could even have your website discounted from the listings by the search engine due to some of the unethical methods used.

So, using these black-hat techniques will eventually prove a bad move for your business. Possible clients will be drawn to your site under false pretences, believing your site to contain content relevant to their specific search, but when arriving at your site will find this information non-existent. This clearly means that they are unhappy with the search engine that steered them there and they have still not found what they are looking for. For that reason the search engine will guard fiercely it’s ability to down grade these sites in order to maintain the position it has with the customers, the searchers.

some black hat processes to keep away from as an SEO:

Invisible text: putting keywords in the same colour text as the background
Keyword stuffing: Littering your website with keywords
Doorway pages: A doorway page is a fake page the user will never view, it is used to trick robots into indexing the site higher.

It is critical that when you are optimising a website for position improvement you adhere to some straightforward, ethical rules to ensure that what you are doing is not pushing against the search engines code of practice and ultimately what it is trying to give to the searcher.

The Search Engine will reward those websites, blogs and article banks which assist it to provide this service. It does this by increasing the trust it puts in those websites, article banks and blogs. The more belief a website enjoys with the search engine, the more value and weight is given to its content, snippets, links etc, and the better the Search Engine Placement is. Like any type of credibility, it takes a long time to assemble, but it can be ruined in an instant.

Credibility can have a huge impact on the whole success of an Website Optimization Company, just as it can have an impact on the company as a whole, and it can be one of the primary ways to reach and remain in top spot.

Ethical processes also make it a much more pleasing experience for the web user. Viewing content that’s filled with keywords never provides enjoyable reading, and rather than seeing what you’ve got to offer, visitors are more likely to shut down the page and keep on looking. It’s much wiser to insert keywords naturally into the content, appealing to both web crawlers as well as the searchers themselves.

Doing everything the right way means that search engines will value your site, and with no penalties you’re more likely to reach the top. This increases visitor numbers and also increases the chance that customers will trust you as well – if the search engines think you’re plausible, customers will too.

This day in history...
