SEO Google say's Search Engine Optimizer, Others call it Search Engine Optimization. The conclusion is that we can optimize search engines. Because we cannot do this, it really means Web Page Optimization. We can only optimize our own website in order to get higher search engine rankings. But what is this Optimization mean? Optimization is the procedure of increasing the efficiency or effectiveness of a process as much as possible. Incase of websites, it means make websites more effective to gather the internet traffic from search engines or make website search engine friendly. Every website is battling for the top spot in Search Engine results page, and to do that you have to optimize your website. Optimization requires continually improving your sites content. Even though Yahoo and Bing simply search the tag structures in HTML, Google uses a trickier, and somewhat clandestine, method to determine top spot. Google looks for websites that continually provide fresh and relevant content. Since Google has such strict guidelines for top spot, it requires web page owners to continually work on keeping their pages content fresh and relevant to hold a top spot in the list. STEPS FOR SEO: Keywords and Phrases The Title Tag Anchor Text Header Tags Make the site easier to navigate Improve the structure of your URLs Optimize your use of images Quality Content

Our SEO processes include:

We work your index page for XHTML validation and CSS validation. We work your site In Tables Div Based site which support Search engine organic results We work the site as SEO Friendly URL Submitting sitemap xml to Google webmaster tools. Google analytics & Applying google Local business Center Competitor site analysis Keyword research and analysis Keyword list building Meta tag building Analysing Target Region Analysing target audience Analysing Target categories Submitting the website Gallery websites (Applicable for websites which we design) 11.
