SEO's help Google understand Websites

I was in a meeting recently and the client asked me a question that made me think of how people perceived us, SEO Professionals.  He asked, "Do you guys [meaning SEO Professionals] try to cheat the Google algorithm?" So it made me realized that perhaps some people perceived us in the wrong light. No, we don't try to "cheat" search engine results.  In fact, we try our best to work within Google's guidelines.  The more information that an SEO has, the better equipped, he or she has in understanding what to do to help your website increase rank.

I chanced upon this article SEO: A force of Good from Search Engine Watch and wanted to add some important aspects of what we do to ensure your website is "Google Friendly" In the same article was this video of Matt Cutts (a Google Engineer)...  here he explains the role of an SEO in helping them [Google] understand where to properly categorize your website.



Because we are a pioneer of building websites that are search engine friendly for the Cayman Islands business community I wanted to add that most Web Developers are just that, they just build websites without consideration of Search Engine requirements.  Because our team is a fusion of web developers and SEO Professionals, we have managed to create a standard in the way we develop our websites.

As soon as we redevelop and relaunch a website with an old domain (ie. a domain that has been around for longer than a couple of years) it naturally shows up for search results.

A prime example of that is the Stepping Stones website (www.steppingstonescayman.com).  They are vying for the keyword, "cayman jobs" and when you type that in Google you will see that they are currently no. 6 for that keyword.  We have done no Optimization for the website, we just built it according to the specifications of Google.  We develop websites with algorithms already incorporated in our web development process.

Most of the websites we develop also show up for the first page of their industry keywords. Another example, www.wharf.ky shows up on the first page of "cayman restaurants".  www.blackbears.ky just launched last month already shows up for their industry keyword, "cayman wines".  An important reminder is this, brand new domains have a more difficult time climbing to the first page of search results, it takes longer. But we can help hurry the process.

So when we develop your website, you already have an advantage over your online competitors because you will be found not just for your company name but also for your keywords.

Hope that helps understand what we do.  We are trying to help your website rank, not cheat Google results.

Cayman SEO: Update on Changing to neutral Top Level Domains (TLD)

Just a very quick update on TLD's that address the geo targeting tool that Google released, or is it unleashed.  One of our internal website www.cayman4rent.ky already had a page rank of 3 and was very visible for online searches for most rental keywords in the Cayman Islands and it its domain age was not even 1 year old.  When google inserted the fixed geo-targeting location on Web Master Tools it was a wake up call of sorts. I quickly read up on what this could possible mean to the .ky and realized very quickly that Google was going to remove the .ky from its US data centres.  I wrote a blog regarding TLDs back in February and you can read it here .  On that blog I showed the fact that www.cayman4rent.ky was showing up for major keywords such as "grand cayman rentals" in the Cayman Islands but it was not showing up for the same keyword in the United States.  I was crushed really because it mean that I would have to give it a neutral TLD such as a .com for it...

EASY TIPS on Improving your Online Presence

How blogging can improve your online presence I have encouraged a lot of my clients in the Cayman Islands to start blogging. I have even gone through the motion of showing some of them how to blog, where to blog and why. I am providing a bullet point outline of the importance of blogging and am hoping that even the lazy reader will find this interesting if not empowering. Interesting NOTE: Blog is short for ‘Web logs’ Why YOU should blog If you have a business; YOU should blog because: -blogging is a formidable online marketing tool -the search engines easily index blogs because it is text heavy versus websites that are sometimes more graphically intensive -blogging is as easy as sending email, except in this case you are sending an email to many -blogs can easily be integrated into your website so even if you don’t want to pay to maintain your website, it is still getting new content from your blog -blogs enable your readers to connect with you on a more personal level -blogging ca...

Cayman SEO NEWS: Unethical SEO practices by NETCLUES!

I am a very passionate person when it comes to work and sure, most of the time I don't have time to moderate comments on my blog. Not that there is alot of them mind you, but because I know some people are trying to ride on the link popularity of my blog caymanseo.blogspot.com, which has a pagerank of 4/10 - and because I know how difficult breaks can be - I don't mind and sometimes approve them. What I do mind is when a competing company does it. So my blog is decidedly no. 1 for most if not all the keywords relating to SEO and/or Internet Marketing in the Cayman Islands. Of course it is - I have applied alot of what I know about optimization to my blog. So it really makes me so angry that a competing company would even dare post a link back to their blog hoping to ride on my coat-tails. You should have made a comment at the very least and maybe I would have let it pass but to blatantly put a link back... thats just plain LAZY. Its embarrasing really. I would hate ...
