Is Your Website Search Engine Friendly?

Well is it? When you Google search with your keywords, do you show on page 1?

If you don't - you could be loosing $$$ and potential customers to your competitors. Do you want that? I sure don't.

By tracking clicks from Google, the results showed that if your website is placed in the following positions, they receive the following percentage of clicks.

postion 1 gets 42.1% of the clicks
2 gets 11.9%
3 gets 8.5%
4 6.1%
5 4.9% and so it goes....

Therefore it is important that your website is seo optimised or made search engine friendly and appears on page 1 for micro niche related keyword searches.

So do you monitor your analytics each week, month to check your website and what keywords are working for you? Google also tells you what keywords searchers used to find you.

I have been researching websites lately out of curiousity and there are heaps of them that are not ranking at all! How profitable is that? Whether you just want branding (get your name out there) or to ecommerce sales - there are certain things you can do to get seen.

I've just been tweaking mine. Yes I do it weekly - I receive an analytics report from Google and I can see what's working and what's not and make changes to my tags to be more search engine friendly. It's a work in progress and one that should be regularly checked. Websites aren't set and forget, they need constant monitoring.

That's my rant for today. The sun is shining and its a beautiful day so must head out into it!
