    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     In this weeks installment of “why you need a SEO company in your corner,” Google overturns a half decade of conventional wisdom. In the debate of dynamic URL’s versus static URL’s , SEO professionals believed that static URL’s were superior for several reasons:

    1. Search engines can index them easier without all the odd characters: & ? =
    2. They are easier to read in Google’s search engine results pages, and keywords from the users search terms are made bold
    3. Static URL’s are easier to use in marketing materials
    4. They are simpler to give out when obtaining backlinks

    Number one was by far the most important factor, as it was assumed that static URL’s improved your rankings. The other factors, while still relevant, related to appearance only.

    However, Google has now turned all this on its head, releasing an official blog post that they prefer dynamic URL’s. In that article, they say

    While static URLs might have a slight advantage in terms of clickthrough rates because users can easily read the urls, the decision to use database-driven websites does not imply a significant disadvantage in terms of indexing and ranking. Providing search engines with dynamic URLs should be favored over hiding parameters to make them look static.

    Google regularly makes changes to how it ranks websites, though they are usually not this dramatic and far-reaching. This illustrates the importance of having a SEO optimization firm in your corner that can help keep you up to date with these important developments!

    Google was used 63 percent of the time in August, compared to 61.9 percent in July, according to figures released Friday by comScore , which tracks online trends.

    Yahoo came in second in August at 19.6 percent, down .9 percent from July. Microsoft garnered 8.3 percent of traffic in August, down .6 percent from a month prior.

    With our seo optimization process we focus on getting your website ranked in Google’s search results. These techniques will still allow you to gain rankings in the other search engines as well. However, Google’s dominance makes it clear that they are still the best bet.

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     We have all had bad experiences with service providers. It can be a costly experience, both financially and emotionally. Not only that, but the next time you look for a service provider for a similar project you might find yourself quite wary.

    I am sure that a quick Google search could return a number of articles from those with similar experiences, and perhaps tips to keep from “getting burned” again. However, I want to approach this article from a different angle, that of a potential service provider.

    We often deal with clients coming off negative experiences with companies who lacked competence, were dishonest, or communicated poorly. For the majority of these clients, our steady, thorough, and documented approach to setting up projects allays their fears. However, there is a minority who unintentionally sabotage the RFP process because their previous experience has left them deeply hesitant.

    So here are a few tips to help you navigate the proposal process with a potential design firm or SEO company:

    • Ask but don’t assume : If you have a particular area of concern, be sure to bring it up in your conversation with the service provider. However, try to share it in a friendly manner that does not put them on the defensive by assuming they are just like that last company .
      An example of what not to say: “You know, graphic design companies always seem to be ripping people off. How do I know your cost is what you say it is?”
      Here is a better approach: “Communication and clarity are very important to me. I am coming off a negative experience with a previous designer, and I know from other experiences that can be avoided by establishing a thorough scope of work up front. How can I be of assistance in creating a detailed project description?”
    • Everything in writing : A common problem our clients share is that their previous service provider was constantly submitting “surprise invoices” for work they thought was in the original scope of work. Ask your service provider “How do you setup a project so that the scope and cost are clear to both parties? How do you deal with out of scope work?
    • Work milestones : ask the service provider if they can break up the project into 3-5 milestones that associate a payment with the completion of a task. As an example, we have setup small design projects with 33% up front, 33% after approval of site design, 33% on completion. This gives the service provider a tangible goal, and you the peace of mind provided by spreading out payments.

    Leave us your comments. What are your recommendations for interviewing a potential service provider?

    • Related posts brought to you by Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     There is, unfortunately, alot of snake oil in search engine optimization (SEO). We only use proven, tested techniques. Effective SEO requires both on-page and off-page optimization. Search engines look for keyword dense content and tags (on-page), but even more so to how many sites are linking to yours (off-page).

    A consortium of the two dozen leading SEO professionals ranked the 10 most important Google ranking factors . Here they are, with on-page factors in bold , and off-page factors in italics.

    • Keyword Use in Title Tag
    • Anchor Text of Inbound Link
    • Global Link Popularity of Site
    • Age of Site (neither on-page or off-page)
    • Link Popularity within the Site’s Internal Link Structure
    • Topical Relevance of Inbound Links to site
    • Link Popularity of Site in Topical Community
    • Keyword Use in Body Text
    • Global Link Popularity of Linking Page
    • Topical Relationship of Linking Page

    We address all of these factors thoroughly with our complete seo optimization packages . Contact us today about search engine optimization for your website.

    • What is this about search engine algorithms?
    • Are backlinks important?
    • What am I actually getting for my investment?

    However, I believe the foremost question is: does seo optimization work to drive relevant traffic to my website?

    For purposes of context, we have written a number of articles on this topic, such as: what you can do to increase your search engine rankings and why links are essential in SEO . These can help you understand the key tasks such as on-page and off-page optimization .

    However, we thought it most effective to let the results do the talking:

    For our own website , we have over 65 keywords in the top 20 of Google. Here are just those ranking currently from #1 to #10, notice we often have multiple pages for one term:

    Here are several of our SEO clients:
