Search Listings vs. Banner Ads

A study conducted by NPD Group, a research group specializing in consumer purchasing and behavior, has tested the impact of search listings, banner ads, and tiles across a variety of sites in order to determine which one was the most effective. In every situation, search listings came out top. Search listings overwhelmingly outperformed both banner ads and tiles on all marketing standards and measures, including:
Aided and unaided awareness
Likelihood to click-on
Overall opinion

Where Do Purchases Originate

Social Media
Social Media is the new frontier of web traffic. SEO nowadays is more than just optimizing a website. SEO is about driving quality traffic to a website, and has branched out into Social Media. Sure there are Social Media consultants. But, many people that are well-versed in SEO, have jumped on the social media bandwagon. Many SEO’s are early adopters, and they have been on the social networks for a long time, and have built strong profiles. It is simply about driving traffic from social networks.

But, lets keep something in mind. SEO has been and is still about driving high quality visitors, from Search Engines, that convert. That’s the difference between a Social Media and SEO Consultant.

Web Usability
SEO Consultants look at websites differently than does a web designer or an advertising agency. SEO people tend to browse a site trying to analyze how search engine friendly the site is, AND how user-friendly it is.

Web Analytics

Part of SEO consulting is measuring traffic, share of market, analyzing clickstreams, path analysis, A-B Split tests, conversion funnels,  etc.

Rank Atlanta SEO Services include
1) Increasing your Keyword Ranking also known as your search engine rankings.
2) Increasing your site’s overall visitor traffic
3) Making your site search engine friendly.
4) Driving traffic from the search engines.
5) Driving traffic from social media.
6) Driving traffic from related websites.
7) Driving traffic from all sources, regardless whether they are online or offline (newspaper, radio, magazine ad, Word of Mouth, conferences, billboards, taxi cabs, mass transit, etc.)
8 ) SEO Audit : What are you doing well & what are you doing poorly.
9) Competitive Analysis: Getting insight on the competition. What are they doing well or poorly at, and how to beat them out.
10) Brand Awareness or Mindshare
11) Measuring and Analyzing web traffic.
12) Reviewing the website usability, and if there are any obstacles to conversions.
13) Reputation Management

Defining SEO

SEO is using various strategies & tactics to drive traffic to a website, working with the website owner or their marketing team to ensure that traffic converts, and then measuring the revenue generated from those efforts which if done correctly, will generate a quick ROI.

Choosing Web Hosting

By admin · Comments (0)
Monday, July 26th, 2010

One of the most crucial decisions that most online businesses have to make is choosing the best web hosting service. With a popular or well known and reliable Internet Service Provider (ISP) you won’t face many problems, however with a poor web hosting service provider it can be a nightmare.

Choosing the right kind of web hosting service can be a very daunting task at times as there are some very important features that you need to make sure of. Here you can find below what exactly to look for when choosing the best web hosting service.

Amount of web space: A web hosting service provider would usually assign you a certain amount of space on their server. You need to ensure that does it have the right amount of space for your website and your business requirements. You might want to expand your online business tomorrow and would require much more space. So it’s imperative for you that the web hosting company should be able to provide you with ample of space especially if your website is rich in graphics or has video clips.

FTP access: FTP access is very crucial since it provides the ability to upload new pages. Some web hosting service providers allow you to just design your web pages with their own personal web builder. This may be useful for beginners however you need to ensure if they provide you the facility to expand later when you enhance your online business capabilities.

Degree of reliability, security and speed of access: Speed, security and reliability are extremely important for the success of any online business. While choosing a reliable web hosting service you need to ensure that this is taken care of. A site that is not available, not updated on time or is down, will lose many online visitors. If an online visitor finds your site listed on a search engine, and he tries to access it but finds it down, he is sure to move on to the next link and you lose an important customer or visitor. Even slow working websites are very frustrating. So how do you know if a hosting company is reliable or not? By word of mouth or feedback from others! If that’s not possible then you can yourself try accessing your site during peak hours and non-peak hours too. Your site has to be secure of intruders at the same time, especially if it’s an e-commerce website.

Dependence and support: Does the web hosting service provide 24×7 supports? Do they respond rapidly to your issue? Can you depend on them? If you need 24-hour technical support that larger companies need then expect to pay substantially more. In fact, people are much more expensive than machines.

Pricing plans : Price is also one factor that you should look out for when choosing the best web hosting service. It’s not necessarily true that the most expensive hosts are the best. Simply compare prices and services before you finalize one.

Here is a new offer web hosts are offering, which is to buy a web hosting that can host unlimitted domain names, the benefits of this is that you will have one account, no several accounts with several logins and passwords required, and whenever you register or buy a domain name you can host it without having to buy a new web hosting account, for more information, click on the link below:

Host Unlimited Domains On 1 Hosting Account

Data transfer (Bandwidth): You also need to see if the hosting company provides you with sufficient bandwidth for efficient data transfer. After all it’s your website and you need to ensure that you are getting the best services for the money you invest.

Here is an other interesting web hosting offer:

Bluehost.com Web Hosting $6.95

Now that you have chosen web hosting, what about moving to the next step?

How To Choose And Buy A Good Domain Name

By admin · Comments (0)
Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Buying a good domain name process requires a lot of attention, the domain name is a mirror to one’s own online business, thus the domain name needs to respect a lot of crietria, both for your web users, you clients and prospects as well as the search engines.

At www.rankatlanta.com we have developed this document to help you out during the process as a free online resource, please read carefully and respect these guidelines for a better online presence of your business, as well as for the purpose of cutting advertising and marketing costs.

1. Pick up a very short domain name.

A good domain name needs to be short, a short domain name is easy to remember and easy to spell, people are less likely to make mistakes when they type a short domain name that if your domain name is at least two or three keywords, don’t always use initials for your domain name, because only company insiders would know what these initials stand for, unless your initials are no longer than 4 letters, 4 letters domain name are highly appraised, and thus hard to register because all 4 letters domain names are already unavailable for registration.

2. Go for easy to remember domain name.

An easy to remember domain name makes it easier for people to find your website and recommend it to others, thus more traffic and more customers, the domain name needs to make sense, and must have a meaning, before purchasing the domain name, ask yourself what if that domain name am buying is not mine, how easier would it be for me to remember it, if the chances are good then go for it, and register your domain name right away !!!

REMEMBER that domain names go fast, register it as soon as you decide because otherwise the domain name will be gone, even if you are just to park that domain name, because you might sell it later for a lot of money.

Have a domain name in mind??? Check if it is Available Here

Available? Proceed with registration now:

3. Go for very relevant domain names

The domain name has to be very relevant to your business, if you are selling cheap jeans then both name have to be included in your URL, when people know your field they will guess your domain name, choose a domain name that people can guess, most people go type online a domain name they just did guess esp when they don’t know the url, so, as you pick and register your domain name, think of those who do not know your URL and would try to find you online among all these websites.

4. Hard to Misspell

As you might have noticed, at times you look for something online in the search engines and then you end up asked to try your search with a different keyword, the search engines developed this tool because a lot of people make either typing mistakes or they misspell the domain name, so many people are poor spellers. so keep this in mind while selecting your domain name, go for a domain name that is hard to misspell, a hard to misspell domain name makes it also very easy to remember, put a hyphen between the words if you have more than two keywords in your url, if you have just two keywords in your domain name, you don’t have to use the hyphen, though i would highly recommend registering the two versions of the domain name, with and without hyphen.

5 . Secure Several Domain Names

You might wanna secure several domain names, a good practice is to register the domain name with the most known available extensions, such as the .com, .net, .info, .org and .biz , when you secure several domain names you make sure no other competitor will build their business on detriment of your domain name’s fame, register also your domain name with several possibilities, such as the use of the hyphen between the keywords.

Multiple domain name will not confuse people because you will be advertising and promoting only one domain name, your main one, you can though point several domain names to the same web hosting, avoid pointing more than three domain names to meet the search engines guidelines, if you own all the possible combinations now before they are taken this will be a good benefit to your business especially that the investment in a domain name is low.

Now that you have picked your domain name, you might wanna consider moving to the next step : Host Your Website

If you have not purchased your domain name, use one of these resources:

How To Develop A Site Plan

By admin · Comments (0)
Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Here is a very detailed “do it yourself guide” about creating a website, the most important thinking before any website design project, is to create a web site plan, a very detailed plan make it easier for you to cover all aspects before you proceed and it saves the time you would have spent going back to do major changes within the website structure.

1) Assemble a web site development plan that is integrated with your overall marketing processes; the content should be consistent with offline materials (if you have any), the graphics/images should be web friendly and consistent with your overall branding, style guide, usage of colors, etc, if you don’t have a plan don’t start a website, you will end up having a website with no content, and chances of good ranking later get low especially if your website got removed from the search engines index.

2) Try not to get “geek crazy” – meaning you become so in love with the latest design technology, your site gets bogged down with graphics, plug ins, GIF garbage, etc. But, conversely, check your ego at the door when you work at your design

There are too many sites cramped with meaningless junks they literally turn visitors away. A decent design is what you need.

3) Pay attention to “load times,” how long it takes a web site to load on a 56 kbps modem (this is an industry average), if its more than 12-18 seconds you may experience the “click of death” – the site doesn’t load quickly and the surfer is gone. Of course if you are targeting broadband customers who are reaching your site via ISDN, DSL or Cable modem then you can build a site that incorporates multimedia-ready content that may include streaming audio or video, Shockwave or Flash capabilities – go ahead and let those digital geeks get carried away with cutting edge content!

4) Keep it simple – a simple website makes it easier to update and modify later, your website should be something you like, when you have something you like in your website either content you are good at or product you know, chances of this website being updated are good, make your site easy to move around in, build a menu structure that is consistent with industry standards, local menus (for a page or section) on the left and global menus (overall site navigation) at the top and/or bottom of each page, keep as much information “above the fold” (above the cutoff point at the bottom of a monitor), don’t make people use horizontal scroll bars unless absolutely necessary.

5) Inculcate “digital speed” into your overall site design, your visitors should be able to get to their desired area of your site within one or two mouse clicks; they will quickly get frustrated if they have to click around multiple menus to find the information they are seeking.

6) Develop content that is web-enabled, people don’t read web site content like they do offline media, keep your paragraphs short, no more than two to three sentences, put in white space between your content, include links in your pages – don’t try to tell your whole life story on your site – get people to call you (hello the telephone still works!), e-mail or fill out a profile form.

7) Make your site permission-based marketing ready – Seth Godin, author of  “Permission Marketing” book champions building a long term relationship with a customer by asking their permission to continue to market to them and incorporating value/information in all communication processes.

8) Ensure your site is optimized for Search Engines by identifying 8-12 keywords that people will use to find your site, then incorporate these keywords in your site content (to drive relevancy with s/engine spiders/bots) and then submit your site to the top ten search engines. It is estimated as much as 70% of all traffic to most web site comes through search engine. If you want to attract tons of visitors, this is an important step to take.

9) Delve into your log server files to uncover “digital tracks” made through your web site – your log files are raw files that show how and from where (in most cases) people accessed your web site, where they went on your web site, how long they stayed, etc. Web Trends is the defacto industry standard, but there many other products on the market that can achieve similar purpose.

10) Think global in your overall site design – the greatest Internet growth is occurring outside North America, so it is essential to build a site that can be accessed easily by people around the world. What issues do you need to look at? Load times are very important (again), develop content that avoids colloquialisms that may not be understood by others who may not speak the same language, you may want to make your site content available in diverse languages, there are a number of emerging applications that will facilitate this process, ensure your ecommerce capabilities can be utilized by all.

Once you develop your web site plan, you will need to purchase a Good Domain Name, for domains we use the services of 3 providers, we have to disclose that we are affiliates with Godaddy, and should you buy from them we will earn a commission, their service is good and AdvertiseCountryWide.Com is registered and Hosted with Godaddy, we will provide you with a three providers links for your to compare between their services and plans in the list below:

Now that you have worked out your website plan, you might consider moving to the next step, “How to choose and buy a good domain name?”

Get Great Site Ranking in Google

The Google Ranking Secret’s Out

Google recently filed for a US patent which reveals a great deal of  how they plan to rank your web site. Some of it you could never have guessed at…

How many years did you register your domain name for?

If it was only one then Google could hold that against you.

Why?

Because the majority of Spam websites only register a domain name for one year. A domain name registered for a longer period implies that the owner is more likely to be legitimate and serious about their web site.

This is just one of the unusual factors possibly considered by Google when indexing and ranking a website. Factors you could never even have guessed at in some cases.

How do I know this?


Google recently made public,  the contents of their filing of United States Patent Application 20050071741.

In which many of the search giant’s secret ranking criteria is revealed. You gottacheck this out if you are serious about ranking well in Google. The days of Spamming Google are over. In this patent they reveal just how hard they penalize Spam sites. You Do Not want to get slapped by Google for looking like spam, even if you are not!

Here are the hard facts. You will need to consider these each time you optimize each new site.

• Links.

It’s well known that Google relies heavily on inbound relevant links to rank a site. Now they explain exactly how it works.

As well as the number, quality and anchor text factors of a link. Google seems to also consider historical factors.

There is something called the Google ‘sandbox’ or aging delay which begins the minute links to a new site are spidered by Google.

Google logs the spidered link, as links change over time, and also the speed at which a site gains links and the life span of each link.

Keeping this in mind, fast link acquisition may be a strong indicator to Google of potential search engine spam.

Gone are the days of pages and pages just full of arbitary links. You need to grow your links gradually to stay below the radar and be careful of who you exchange links with, checking out their sites before you link to them.

That means no more buying hundreds of links at once or other underhanded methods.

Page Rank is now very valuable.

Your link anchor text should vary but still remain consistent with your site’s content. No more can you use your main keywords on every link exchange you gain. That’s ‘link spam’. Instead you must vary your anchor text them around your top five to eight keywords.

Link exchanges are still important but you have to utilize them ethically. If you don’t and you get caught, the recovery from a ban can take months and your host and IP may also be recorded.

Gradually seems to be the key. The truth is that fewer but better quality links will benefit you more and they are more likely to be long-term permanent links too.

• Site click through rates (CTR)

CTR may now be monitored through cache, temporary files, bookmarks and favorites via the Google toolbar or desktop tools. Many have suspected for some time that sites are rewarded for good CTR with a raise in ranking. Similar to how Adwords works.

CTR is monitored to see if fresh or stale content is preferred for a search result.

CTR is also analyzed for increases or decreases relating to trends or seasons.

• Web page rankings are recorded in a log and monitored for changes.

• The traffic to a web page is recorded and monitored over time in a log.

• Sites may be ranked  by season. A ski site can rank higher in the winter than in the summer. Google can monitor and rank pages by recording CTR changes by season.

• Bookmarks and favorites could be monitored for changes, deletions or additions.

• User behavior in general could be monitored.

As Google is capable of tracking traffic to your site you should closely monitor the small amount of copy returned in search results. Ideally you will want to integrate a call to action in there to increase your listings CTR.

Clicks away from your site back to the search results are also monitored. Make your site as sticky as possible to keep visitors there longer. As mentioned above it may also help if you could get your visitors to bookmark you.

• The frequency and amount of page updates is monitored and recorded as is the number of pages.

Mass updates of hundreds of files will see you pop up on the radar.

On the other hand, few or small updates to your site could see your rankings slide –unless your CTR is good. A stale page that receives good traffic may hold it’s own and not require an update. So don’t update for the sake of it.

Depending on your market, fresh content may not be a requirement. If the information your pages contain do not go out of date then  updating may not be necessary. If your market is more news based for example, then changes regularly are a must. In general changes don’t necessarily have to mean fresh content. They could involve simple edits to current content.

A further indicator that Google is really cracking down on Spam is made clear in the following extract from the Patent. Reference is made to changing the focus of multiple pages at once.

Here’s the quote -

“A significant change over time in the set of topics associated with a document may indicate that the document has changed owners and previous document indicators, such as score, anchor text, etc., are no longer reliable.

Similarly, a spike in the number of topics could indicate Spam. For example, if a particular document is associated with a set of one or more topics over what may be considered a ’stable’ period of time and then a (sudden) spike occurs in the number of topics associated with the document, this may be an indication that the document has been taken over as a ‘doorway’ document.

Another indication may include the sudden disappearance of the original topics associated with the document. If one or more of these situations are detected, then [Google] may reduce the relative score of such documents and/or the links, anchor text, or other data  associated with the document.”

There’s still more to look out for:-

• Changes in keyword density is monitored and recorded as are changes to anchor text.

• The domain name owner’s address is considered, most likely to help in a local search result.

• The technical and admin contact details are checked for consistency. These are often falsified for Spam domains.

• Your hosts IP address. If you are on a shared server it’s possible somebody else on that server is using dirty tactics or Spamming. If so, your site will suffer since you share the same IP.

The impression I get here is that Google has learned from the Spam ‘attack’ they suffered in early 2009 and they are determined to eradicate it from their listing results.

So what do you do?

There’s a lot to take onboard here and consider. But you can’t go far wrong with your SEO if you try to grow your site as organically as possible.

If you know what you are doing you can take short cuts.

Carry on with link exchanges but consider each site carefully and slow down in your gathering of them. Vary your anchor text. Add small amounts of good quality content to your site regularly. Check your search engine listings and edit your site to include a call to action in them if possible. Make your site more ‘sticky’ to encourage visitors to stay a while. Encourage visitors to Bookmark your site. Oh, and register new domain names for at least two years.

Before you do anything remember to reference the above info first. It may just save you months of misery as your site gets banned and ‘Sand boxed’.

Overall keep it ethical and you can’t go far wrong.

Do not be tempted to Spam. Stick to the guidelines above and you are much more likely to outlast and out rank your competition.

Secrets of Search Engine Optimization Website Promotion and Internet Marketing

“Who Else Wants To Learn The Amazing Secrets Of How To Drive An Insane Amount Of Internet Traffic To Their Website, Rank High In The Search Engines Like Google, Yahoo, MSN and In The Process Make a Boatload Of Cash?”

Dear Website Owner :

If you already have a website or you are thinking about creating one the number #1 obstacle you will be faced with is driving relevant targeted traffic to your website. The BOTTOM LINE is you must overcome this obstacle or your website dies along with any hopes you had of making money with it.

You see because free flowing internet traffic coming from search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo and others is the equivalent of your need for OXYGEN. Without OXYGEN you die. Without having free flowing internet traffic coming from these so called “organic” search engines your website’s air supply is cut off and it too will inevitably die.

As a result of the internet craze in the last ten years many aspiring internet entrepreneurs developed the false notion that all they had to do was build a website, put it on the internet and people would naturally visit it and spend money. Then they were hit with this RUDE AWAKENING. Very few people visited and even fewer people spent money and they were soon out of business or only hanging on by skin of their teeth. You can learn from their costly mistake by simply realizing and absorbing this concrete and actual fact.

Just like location and marketing are the keys to succeed in the offline bricks and mortar world, your website’s success depends upon where you are located, ranked and positioned in the search engines.

So I know the question your probably asking yourself right now is “Ok how to do I position my website to rank high in the search engines?” Well the answer to that question is through search engine optimization or SEO for short.

“Search engine optimization is designing a website so that search engines easily find your website’s pages and indexes them. The primary goal is to have your web pages ranked high enough so that your website receives a substantial amount of targeted visitors and these visitors are converted from prospects to paying customers enabling you to stuff your pockets with cash.” – PB

The great thing about search engine optimization is you don’t have to be a Einstein, rocket scientist or a computer geek to understand and apply its techniques to produce phenomenal results for your website business. I’m speaking from actual experience. I have several websites that consistently rank high in the major search engines and as a result I receive a lot of continuous “free” traffic. A great portion of this “free” traffic converts to sales enabling me to make a ton of money.

So what does all this amount up to? Well, its pretty simple really and its a phrase you will hear a lot:

NO TRAFFIC = NO SALES!

SEO 2.0 Next Generation Search Engine Optimization

By admin · Comments (0)
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010
The term “Web 2.0” had been widely circulating recently and is becoming more popular. Basically, the term was coined by O’Reilly media  to put a label on the next generation of Web usage. With the new generation of usage, come many new options for search engine optimization. Social network sites, wikis, blogs, social bookmarking sites, RSS and video feeds each allow a different type of user interaction.
SEO 2.0 is built upon these components.
Social Bookmarking

Social bookmarking sites are a type of viral or guerilla SEO where communities of people can view the sites bookmarked by others as well as share their own. In order to make it easy to find the bookmarked sites they can be tagged with keywords pertaining to what the site is about. When someone does an Internet search using these keywords, the bookmarks you have placed can be found easily. The level of traffic that a site receives increases relative to the number of times it was bookmarked. It is common for these sites to promote their most popular bookmarks.

Social Networking

Social networking sites are the core foundation for any strong SEO 2.0 campaign. These social networking sites typically require you to create a profile about yourself or your company. After which you can sign up with other groups or create your own. Two examples of social networking sites that are popular right now are MySpace and Facebook. A large part of utilizing these sites to improve your traffic is making friends with other users. For best results you should read other peoples’ profiles and concentrate on ones that have things in common with you or your business. Leave a short comment with your link on their profiles in order to draw attention. Just make sure not to spam

Video Feeds

Finally, the advent of YouTube and other video sites has made it so easy for anyone to post a video on the Web,  and by adding whatever relevant keywords they can also  improve the number of views they receive. Search engines will then use these same keywords to help visitors locate your videos easily while searching. When a new video has been given the correct tags it can really soar in the rankings for those specific keywords. It may be a temporary boost, but is an excellent way to make use of a targeted keyword

Wikis, Blogs, and RSS Feeds

Wikis and blogs are perhaps the most powerful way to add new content to your site, while promoting it and possibly generating back links. When adding a blog to your site, try to post as often as possible. At least twice a month is noramlly enough. Be sure to place a link back to your site at the end of each blog entry. There are several free blog sites out there such as  Word Press and Blogger and yes, they are all SEO friendly. RSS feeds allow visitors to subscribe to your blog, video or whatever. They will then get an email alert whenever you add a new entry.

Search Engine Ranking Software

By admin · Comments (0)
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

There are currently some good SEO Software Programs in the market which have many benefits for a great number of users who are trying to increase their website ranking positions. The question is, can these programs be effectively used as an aid to Search Engine Ranking? Can they really get your website to the top of the major Search Engines?

Well, the answer to that is both Yes and No.

No – On their own and as the sole method of Search Engine optimization they most likely can’t.

Yes – They can definitely help to improve your search engine rankings somewhat.

There are some differences in how individual Search Engines rank. For instance a site which has a top 10 Rank in Google may not rank in the Top 10 with Yahoo or the other way round. SEO software does provide the feedback and the information on how to optimize each page for different Search Engines. So that can help significantly.

Search Engine Ranking Software is useful to find out of how many times a keyword or phrase has been used in the body text or how long the title of your article or text should be .

In essence Search Engine Software is a complex state of the art assistant, providing a dazzling amount of information, statistics, and functions such automatic submitting of your site content to article and search engine directories, helping to research keywords, optimize site page keyword density, and supplying up to date information on your sites current and past search engine ranking positions and whether they have changed, etc.

To get a website into the TOP 10 especially on Google (for any worthwhile keywords) takes much more than just implementing all the items a good SEO Software package may recommend to you.

The facts are that you do need to get the technical issues right first, or else a Top 10 Ranking will remain elusive. Good Search Engine Ranking Software will assist you in getting the basics right, but you will still need the underlying understanding and education of how SEO works, and how to interpret the data and take action that works, etc.

The rest depends on the content of the website and that is something no Search Engine Ranking Software can help you produce.

If one believes what is known about Google’s views on content, and there is no reason to disbelieve it, than content matters more than ever before. Without above average quality content a website will always struggle to get high rankings and in addition the quantity of pages a website has plays a role too. The actual web design is important too and must form part of the total picture, but the core value of any site is the content.

Looking at many sites, they have the right structure, no mistake made in the Tags, the keywords have been researched, Java script is placed there where it should be, everything has been done by the book and yet the site failed to make it to the top. Why? Because of it’s content, more specifically the lack of quality content.

How to Get Indexed by Search Engines

The leading search engines, Google, Yahoo! and Bing use spider(crawlers or bots) to find the pages for their algorithmic search results. Pages that are already linked from another search engine’s indexed pages do not need to be re-submitted because they will be found automatically. Some search engines, notably Yahoo!, operate a paid directory submission service that guarantee crawling for either a set fee or cost per click. Such programs usually guarantee quicker inclusion in the database, but do not guarantee any specific ranking within the search results, just that your site will be indexed and considered.

Yahoo’s paid inclusion program has drawn much criticism from both advertisers and competitors. Two major directories, the Yahoo Directory and the DMOZ Open Directory Project both require manual submission and human editorial reviews before they can be accepted. Google offers Google Webmaster Tools, where you can create an XML Sitemap file and submit for free online to ensure that all pages are found, especially pages that aren’t easily discoverable by automatically following links between pages, such as dynamic content on your site.

Search engine crawlers (or bots) take into account a variety of different factors when crawling your site. Not every page is added or indexed by the search engines. For instance – distance of pages (depth) from the root directory of a site may also be a factor in whether or not pages get crawled and indexed. Similarly how often the content on these pages changes is relevant, etc, etc.

So that’s why you need specialized Atlanta SEO professionals, to help your business win top Atlanta search engine rankings and the traffic your business deserves. Rank Atlanta SEO is your affordable and safe answer.
