Most Important Rule:
Web Design Has To Be Built With Content and Optimization. It narrows down to one important factor. "Why have a web if no one is going to see it?"

One of the first questions people ask me, "How did you get to be one of the top rated sites on Alexa.com?" The second, "Was the Internet to blame that made my first book a best seller?" The third, "What does it cost to build, SEO, and promote a web?"

The answers to the first two questions was the desire to master the art and science of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) over the last seven years of online experiences. Of course, mentoring from the best selling author of HTML and web developer, Thomas Powell always helps and combine those with lots of hard work through continuing education and keeping on top of changing technology. As for the third, what does it cost to buy a car?

It is both exciting and important to remember that the Internet is still a child and developing by leaps and bounds. I have always believed the Internet is an extremely powerful marketing tool and what better way to market your product and/or service, via a website. That is why SEO/SEM has become such a sought after profession. Major companies now are spending tens of thousands monthly to have their webs optimized and marketed. Even the mom and pop webs have seen the value of a good SEO when it has increased sales and inquirings.

I approach web development and design with SEO and SEM (Search Engine Market or manipulator as some say) in mind. In otherwords, if you don't give the search engines what they want, don't expect traffic to your web. I'm not one for the fancy. I keep the site widely navigable, accessible, built with flexibility, content, and focus on optimization. A lot of people believe that graphics make a web. Sorry, a great site's priority should always be content, graphics are way down at the bottom of the list. With web programs for less than $200, everyone now thinks he or she is a webmaster.

If you look at the Internet today, 99 percent of the web sites (including Forbes' Fortune 500 companies) are filled with editing errors, poorly constructed web templates, worthless navigation, and takes forever to download, which makes the surfer impatient and most important, not one ounce of SEO. SEO/SEM services will help you get into that two percent. Today's surfer is under 35 and does 80 percent of the surfing. If the surfer cannot find the site interesting within the first few seconds or less, it is off to the next web. I know of no web owner who can afford that.

The Infamous SEO/SEM

The process of being an SEO/SEM is not just submitting a web to search sites and walking away. It is the tricky and artsy process of researching the site, optimizing, tweaking and building 'quality' inbound links, so that it reaches its fullest potential and a step beyond. It becomes harder everyday. Why? Competition! When you are looking for an SEO/SEM there are some basic questions one has to ask.

1) Is their web ranked one of the most visited, as this site is?
2) Do they have the ability to make their product and/or service a best seller?
3) What does their client tract record and statistics report show?
4) How many referrals do they have?
5) Are they ethical?

One of the things that sets me off from other SEOs is that I'm always using my site (as a guinea pig) to test search engine algorithms. When I see something that works well, I apply that to my clients. For instance, this web site is listed in the top ten if not #1 under some extremely competitive keywords at Google on 2/1/07. Please note: due to the brutal nature of the competition, the below keywords will bounce in and out of the top ten and the competition will vary DAILY a few million. I believe I will get the point across. Click on the keywords and see.

auto web hits (23 million, Google India)
email clips (40 million)
media email clips (40 million)
why is SEM important (15 million)
list of traffic sites (40 million)
S.E.M. Web services (32 million)
free auto hits (35 million, been jumping in and out of the top ten)
seo copyright service (35 million)

Doesn't it make sense to use the services of an SEO/SEM who has a the ability to get competitive keywords and phrases? My services include, but not limited to the following:

Meet with client to discuss SEO/SEM goals and strategy, this would include but not limited to, analyzing the competition and report on their flaws, make recommendations to current website design, develop both common and niche marketing strategies and inbound link campaigns.

Total optimization of website (e.g. meta tags, content tweaking, alt tags, site maps etc) to influence search engines positioning. Develop content-rich text to penetrate awareness of your target audience and to search engines.

Develop an effective Paid Marketing and/or fixed fee campaign that targets prime, 2nd and 3rd tier keywords and phrases.

Manually submit the website to popular search engines and directories. Develop a quality inbound and/or link exchanges programs with content related websites.

Developing business plans for long term SEO/SEM with consultants, CPAs and attorneys, with such things as budgets, projected goals, and SEO copyright services

Provide weekly/monthly search engine tracking, page views, and analysis reports on search engines and directories

An SEO/SEM will target the right clients/customers and make your web Internet friendly and that is just the start. Their job is not sales as many people think, but to put your web in the best position as possible to make sales or inquirings. For more go to SEO Tips and Pointers

Anyway, feel free to surf my site, pay particular attention to why it is rated one of the best trafficked sites on the web. So please email me if you are interested in web design and/or SEO/SEM services. I will get back within a day, if not within a few hours.

Take care and best wishes,

Kip W. Ives
