Frequently Asked Questions - Web Site Marketing
SEO stands for Search engine optimization it involves building new websites, or changing existing websites, so that they rank highly in a search engine’s organic (free) listings when users search on terms that are related to the site’s content.

Promotion of your Web site is critical to its success. If nobody knows your site exists, nobody will see it. Word-of-mouth advertising is valuable, but not enough to garner a return on your investment. Luckily, there are ways to go about promoting your Web site that are relatively simple-and effective. Manage your website content. Update your site frequently. Participate in a blog. Establish your business on some of the social networking sites like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. Have your suppliers, customers and affiliates link to your website. These are just some of the things you can do to promote your business on the web.
A Web presence is much like radio, print, or television advertising in that your goal is to determine your target audience, capture their attention and motivate them to action. With traditional advertising it is sometimes possible to make a poorly-conceived advertisement work for you as long as you saturate the medium being used. This is not the case on the Worldwide Web. If your site is complicated, poorly designed and impossible to navigate easily, people will simply move on and probably never return no matter how well your site is ranked within search engines. Unlike traditional forms of advertising, visitors to your site, whether they followed a link or found you through a search engine, arrive there because they are already interested in something you have to offer. With that bonus in your favor, a well-constructed Web site is what it takes to convince them that they are in the right place.
