Search Engine Optimization
If Teddy Roosevelt was alive today, his famous saying "If you build it and they will come" would surely require one small little edit. In today's world, the phrase would more aptly be put "If you build it and optimize for search engines, they will come." Translation: Just because you've created the coolest website known to mankind, it doesn't intrinsically mean that you're going to receive a tidal wave of instant traffic. Back that up a bit. If you built the coolest website known to man in 1997, then yes, it meant that you were instantly flooded with visitors. But that was then, and this is now... and the reality of now is that we live in a world that houses more web pages than people (Google reported to hit a milestone in July of 2008 of over a trillion webpages indexed in their system). Add to it the fact that the coolest website know to mankind is now created every six hours or so, and you have yourself a "buyers market" so to speak. A plethora of properties to look at and oh, so little time to surf. Simply put, Internal Wealth Studios can get that radical website of yours FOUND. | Click the image to see the Google Eyetracker Heatmap |
