The focus of the search engine
world rarely remains static for long. While Page Rank and incoming links have
become the main target for many web masters and search marketers there is a
major component that is critically more important then your link reputation to
the success of your web site.
What
every web site owner is after is communication through their web site. The place
where that starts in the search engines realm is with the search engine results
pages (SERPS). Prior to that the keyword phrases that you choose to target will
be at the core of what SERPS you need to review. Once you select your target
phrases you can begin the process of creating the compelling message to drive
users from the SERPS to your web site.
For recommendations on
keyword selections complete our web site analysis.
While it is true that search engine users start at the top of the SERPS page and
then move down that fact is not directly proportionate to what they will click
on. There are several factors that will increase the likelihood that they will
click on your listing. Ranking first is not as important as having the most user
friendly listing. What the listing says about your site will greatly determine
the click through rate. Think beyond your keyword phrase to the complete
question the user is asking. Including these other words from that full question
within your content, Title tags and meta descriptions will get them included in
the SERPS as well. Once that happens you will see that your traffic from the
search engines will increase regardless of where you rank.
To learn more about how
your site is being reflected in the SERPS request our detailed web site analysis.
The next step in managing your conversion from the search engines is to monitor
the pages that your listings drive to. Getting the traffic is only one step.
Getting it to stick is equally if not more important. That means reflecting and
meeting the expectations you have established on the SERPS as well as the
expectations of the user in conducting that search in the first place. Run
through the process with your keywords and your site and see how well you answer
that now. When you are comfortable with it you will find that your site has a
much greater ability to produce.
