Many enthusiastic business owners are under the illusion that all they need to do is to have a website setup and busloads of visitors and instant wealth will be coming their way.

A second myth is that website designers are skilled in internet marketing in general and search engine optimisation (SEO) in particular. The fact is that website designers have expertise with graphic design and they are 'art' orientated. SEO requires a scientific approach.

Another myth is that once a website is setup, its reputation, visitor numbers and ever increasing income are assured. However, websites need to be regularly updated if they are to demonstrate true expertise to the search enginess.

What is Google about? Search engines like Google are commercial companies that accumulate enormous wealth by advertisements on their websites. They are agents making recommendations on the webpages that provide the best information on any search topic. Accordingly, they are constantly reviewing their algorithms (programs) to ensure quality.

Google made a major revision (Panda - named after the programmer - February 2011) which resulted in many websites, that were effectively cheating, dropping down the results pages.

5. Running a website can be compared to managing a football team. To be successful, a football manager must: Seek top quality players who play well together as a team. = QUALITY CONTENT The team must play attractive football = high QUALITY PRESENTATION The critics, both professional and team supporters in general will decide if you will receive accolades and continue in your role. Successful managers will receive votes of confidence = QUALITY LINKS There are measures of success including league positioning, cups won and club financial status = QUALITY METRICS

The number of searches may be smaller but these are the people we are seeking to attract to our website. Visitors from Strand are the ones most likely to convert into customers. The competition for "Strand financial advisor" may be within our reach.

What is achievable in Search Engine Optimization?

What is achievable is high positioning for long-tail keywords.

"Solicitors" is a short-tail keyword. Competition will be enormous and it will not be possible to obtain high ranking.

"Employment law solicitor Strand" is a long-tail keyword and competition will not be so great. High ranking may be possible.

What is desirable in Search Engine Optimization?

This depends on the objectives of the website owner.

A firm of solicitors in Strand will probably be happy with traffic from Strand.
