• Linking Triage: Identify and correct or remove any bad links, remove excessive linking, remove links to and from "bad neighborhoods", making sure each page that should be has a central linking structure.

Phase 2) Now that your site is in compliance it is time to control factors that will improve your rankings and improve your web site visitor’s experience.

These factors would include but are not limited to:

• Correcting "Bloated" or Obsolete Code: Less code, and currently compliant code makes it easier for search engines to read your page and to have a higher keyword density without artificially spamming the search engine.

• Linking Structure Analysis: The goal is to create an environment where the search engine and the surfers can find all of the pages you want them to with extreme ease. This strategy can also control how your page rank is dispersed across your site(s).

• Removing Obsolete Pages, Products or Services: Why have your visitors find or the search engines index products or services that you no longer offer and disappoint anyone finding that page?

  Old pages that have been search engine optimized are fine and may in fact attract traffic so we may be able to salvage some of the content on older pages.

• Content Overhaul: Search engines can only read content not pictures so this is where we change the text and tags on your pages based upon what the Target Audience Behavioral Analysis revealed.

  Depending of the how close the relevance and theme of the site is to what the Target Audience Behavioral Analysis shows it should be, this can mean changes to a words or tags on a few pages or completely overhauling the content of entire site.

Phase 3) This phase is what will make a site become a superstar as these are serious web site marketing techniques that will not only make your site rank even better but will keep the search engines coming back to visit your sites again and again allow them adjust their listings immediately to any new information and products that you add.

These factors would include but are not limited to:

• Restructuring Dynamic Pages: Pages that are dynamically created on the fly by a data bases are prone to problems preventing them from being effectively indexed by search engines or worse yet they can become search engine spider traps which can cause them to be completely ignored by the search engines.

  There are ways that a database can be constructed to eliminate this problem and with some custom programming every item in your entire database can be indexed

• Feeder Sites: Design and creation of mini web sites that capture traffic that is relevant to the goods or services you wish to sell which sell. This site or even ring of sites ultimately link into you and direct customers into your main site.

  Depending on the competition in your industry this can be a relatively small 3 or 4 page sites or small industry or topic specific blog, or it can be a large resource site for your industry. An example of a successfully industry specific blog is PackagingBlog for the packaging industry.

  Besides catching additional surfers, this strategy can dramatically improve your organic search engine rankings. Done wrong by an inexperienced company this method can become a black hat strategy and have detrimental effect of the reputation of your site with search engines.

• News / Public Relation Releases: A tremendously effective way to further grab attention but even better, when the copy is highly optimized based upon the findings of the Target Audience Behavioral Analysis the results in the search engines can be overwhelming.

• Content, Content, Content: Effective Search Engine Optimization is an ongoing process and at this stage and fresh relevant and optimized content must be added on an ongoing basis.

  How much content is enough? Where you can never have too much content and your content can never be too fresh, your goal should be to have a minimum of 100 pages - the sooner the better.

If all of these Search Engine Optimization steps look as if they are a lot of work, your right, a moderate size site can take on average an hour a page to get up to phase 3.
