What’s the Big Deal about SEO Anyway?

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Many of the clients who approach us at camrondeen.com already have a website. Often we will hear complaints such as “Why have a website when no one can find it?” or “Why spend money on a website, just to have it lost somewhere in the world wide web, unnoticed, collecting virtual dust?” We couldn’t agree more. The solution for this type of complaint is Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become a necessary marketing tool for any company with a web presence. No better way exists for increased traffic to a website than successful SEO. Unlike many other forms of marketing, SEO is affordable and long-lasting. Often times, business owners can be wary of spending money on SEO marketing. Sometimes these owners have been in business a long time, and are not aware of how effective SEO can be. They have usually used other marketing techniques for years, and it can be difficult to first grasp that times have changed. Traditional forms of marketing such as direct mail and newspaper ads are not as effective as they once were. Traditional marketing can be expensive, exhausting and exasperating and is often “in your face.” Direct mail, ads, and even television forces your message upon an audience. SEO reverses the psychology; you are putting yourself in front of people who are actively looking for the kinds of products and/or services you provide. You provide the information they are already looking for. Think about the benefit of “pulling” inquiries from web traffic rather than “pushing” messages on those who had no interest in the first place. Search Engine Optimization has distinct advantages for the small to large business owner. It is long lasting, affordable, embraces an evolving medium, and connects you with people who are already looking for what you offer. Now we are not suggesting to only use SEO for marketing; however, we strongly consider pursuing this avenue of marketing. Search engine visibility can and certainly does wonders for any type of business.

Content Management Systems Make You Money

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

Content Management Systems are an extremely effective tool for providing a user friendly, cost effective, fast and conveniently accessible feature to websites. The traditional method of building websites had a major constraint; content could not be edited after being posted on a website. In order to update the website, it was either required to buy some special expensive software, launch a new website, or have the designer make the updates. As a website owner, regular updates and modifications are crucial for search engine optimization, and for effective communication between customers and clients. When you hire us at camrondeen.com, you will be provided with a content management system for your site, allowing you to update your own website at your convenience. The ability to make your own updates is extremely cost effective for your business. You will not need special technical training or knowledge and will be able to use any browser for the updates.

Another important benefit of using a content management system is that content of a website can be stored in text form. Any text typed on a search engine can quickly relate to the websites’ content, leading to increased traffic to the website. The software will also enable better search functions. A greater amount of data can also be stored on the site. The use of CMS gives you flexibility and control as a site owner to manage your own website at your own convenience. Content Management Software is a revolutionary breakthrough and this user friendly software will allow for a truly dynamic website that always stays up-to-date.
