About the Website and SEO Planning Guide
The Website and SEO Planning Guide is a series of articles written for business
owners and a non-technical audience with the focus on identifying the
steps involved in successfully completing a website development project.
This series of informative and detailed articles is dedicated to helping small to
medium sized businesses (SMEs) get the most out of their professional
business website projects.
Designing and building a website is hard enough already, but if you want to make
it known to everyone on the internet, you're up for another challenge - search engine optimization.
Getting your web pages optimized is not easy, it takes a lot of work, but it shouldn't
be guess-work.
Many people are unsure about
what it takes to get a website indexed and showing up in organic searches on Google.
In these SEO articles you will find the information needed to make your web pages get first page search
results. If you find that you need some help along the way, please consider using my
website programming and SEO consulting services.
Having an effective and search engine friendly content management system will make your life as
a webmaster or copy writer much easier. VWD-CMS is an ideal content management
system for ASP.NET sites because it makes SEO easier by giving you more control over your website.
The articles in the Website and SEO Planning Guide are a way of sharing some of my
knowledge and experience with other website owners and small business owners who are
pursuing the dream of owning and operating a successful small business.
The Website and SEO Planning Guide started out as a number of somewhat unrelated
articles on various strategies and techniques for getting a website online
and promoting it via search engines like Google and Yahoo. It then became clear to me that
organizing the information into one comprehensive
series with coherent a flow, and a step by step process, would help business
owners connect all of the individual tasks and considerations of building and
operating a professional business website.
I hope that the information in the Website and SEO Planning Guide
is helpful. If you have suggestions on how to make it better, please feel free to contact me.
