Search Engine Optimisation.

For many years now, we have been getting out customers at or near the top of Google and other internet search engines, for their chosen search phrases. This is mainly achieved by ensuring Google gets what it is looking for - websites rich in information. The column below left* contains advice about how to make a search engine friendly website.

 

Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.

Create a useful, information-rich site, and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.

Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.

Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images. If you must use images for textual content, consider using the "ALT" attribute to include a few words of descriptive text.

Make sure that your <title> elements and ALT attributes are descriptive and accurate.

Check for broken links and correct HTML.

If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a "?" character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them few.

Examples of excellent search engine performance of the three websites featured on our home page can be seen below:
