Answers to your SEO Questions
Why don't you optimize my web site for single keywords?
We do not optimize web sites for single keywords because single keywords do not bring in targeted traffic. Most users have found that by searching for a phrase, instead of one word, they get more relevant information. A person is more likely to purchase a product or service because they found a web site using a specific phrase.
Will you upload the changes and additions you made to my web site, or will I have to do it myself?
When we add or change information on a web site we publish the online contents to our computers, make the changes that are needed and then upload them to the web.
When I receive top placements will they be permanent?
Web sites may keep the high rankings for many months with no change at all. Rankings fluctuate for a couple of reasons: 1) some keyword phrases are extremely competitive. The more sites striving to get a great placement for a particular keyword phrase, the harder it is to keep. 2) search engines change their algorithms often to reduce spam, dead links and other negative factors.
How much will my traffic increase if I hire MMSC?
It is difficult for us to determine the exact amount of additional traffic a site will receive after optimizing it site for the search engines. A lot actually depends on the type of business. However, a web site will notice an increase in traffic compared to before having us perform positioning. As an added bonus MMSC performs regular traffic reports, if the web site is hosted with us.
Do you provide positioning services to everyone?
We do not optimize web sites with questionable and/or inappropriate content. This includes, but is not limited to, pornography, racist, anti-government and anti-religious sites.
Which search engines and directories do you focus on and submit to?
We submit your web site to the major search engines and directories. These include:
AltaVista
AOL Web Sites
AllTheWeb
Excite
Google
HotBot
|
Lycos
MSN Search
Netscape Search
Open Directory
Overture

When will the search engines and directories list my site?
All search engines and directories have their own time frame.
What else can I do to increase the visibility of my web site?
There are many things a person can do to market their web site. Below is a list of some of the things we suggest.
1) The first, and probably easiest way to generate more traffic is to include your web site address on all other advertising media. Places where you can include your web site address include: letterheads, TV commercials, business cards, written media, audio media, email messages, fax cover pages, news releases, and anywhere else you advertise.
2) Purchase your own domain name, if you haven't already. Having your own domain name gives you the ability to brand your name and it shows that you mean business, not to mention the professionalism it provides. Having your own domain name greatly influences your potential customers.
3) Make sure your web site is professional looking. Keep the same feel throughout, same color scheme, font, and navigation. There is nothing more irritating than not being able to easily navigate through a web site. You will have a better chance of creating new customers and keeping old ones.
4) No matter how much traffic your web site gets, if you do not have a powerful, compelling sales copy once a potential customer clicks on your web site, you won't sell anything.
5) Find a way to bring people back to your web site over and over again.
6) Always re-evaluate your web site and take the time to keep it current.
