Don't Do it Yourself Guide for Search Engine Optimization
Have you ever thought
to yourself while in a marketing meeting, "Geez,
search engine optimization isn't all that difficult, we'll just do it in-house!
I'll get our designers to make some changes and that should get us into the top
ten. In fact, while we're at it, we should buy the PDAs instead of the laptops.
All the designers have good eyesight."
If search engine optimization
was being done effectively in-house, there wouldn't be a market for professional
services of this kind. If a Web designer or marketing clerk could generate millions
of dollars in sales they would be out starting their own company. Why then do
some smart business managers make a decision not to use the best SEO
company?
Too often managers
and CEOs make a decision to use internal staff to handle Web marketing because
a sufficient budget hasn't been established for outsourcing SEO, and a return
on investment projection hasn't been made. The result is that SEO is either disregarded
or the Web master gets stuck with it and the company's search engine marketing
performance is dismal. Some managers are actually satisfied with a trickle of
traffic, thinking that it's all they need.
Management discovers
the mediocre performance and accepts the view that SEO really can't play a serious
role in the marketing mix and the small investment isn't worth it.
SEO Specialists
Know What They're Doing
In an intensely competitive
and challenging marketing environment it is smart to utilize specialists to create
precisely the type of Web site visitors you need. Bringing in a smattering or
boatload of poorly qualified prospects isn't going to cut it. You're in business
for real.
So before you have
your staff change the meta tags, create a couple of duplicate Web sites, build
a links page and pay $499 to a search engine submission service, don't.
You'll end up costing
your company real success and revenue, and delay the real implementation of good
SEO. Whatever you've heard about SEO and the stories about first place rankings,
think about the other 90% of the iceberg that you don't see or hear about. Those
are the companies that couldn't stay afloat because they had some assumptions
about how easy SEO is, or they had hidden penalties applied to their sites that
kept them under.
When a good SEO provider
throws you a life-preserver, take it, because as many smart swimmers know, you
can't see an undertow. You just see the shore getting farther away.

Self-managed SEO is
a formula for business disaster. Although your Web marketing person will try valiantly
to get the site performing, he or she doesn't stand a chance against professionals
who know the details of search engine algorithms and of how to apply techniques.
If you're doing text link advertising, your monthly investment is going to be
sizable. You should ensure your site will capitalize on those inbound text links
ads.
