Site Maps, Site Search Engines
 

The structure of your website plays a key role in obtaining search engine rankings. If your website structure is too complex, the search engines may not be able to find the pages you want ranked. Fortunately, there exists a sitemap strategy that will provide an open door to search engines for just about any website, ultimately increasing your odds for ranking success. The strategy is to provide a standard sitemap web page as well as a search engine sitemap to glean the benefits of both applications.

The purpose of a sitemap is to provide visitors with an alternative and perhaps faster method of finding a specific page or section within your website. The secondary purpose is to provide a single page where a search engine can reach every page within your website.

The search engine sitemap provides you with the knowledge that the search engines know, without a doubt, which pages you want them to add to their databases, how often, and in what order -- a most comforting fact.

 
Why Optimise a website for Search Engines?
 

Search engines are the main way for people to find your company on the internet. If you need to be found when someone searches for you in a search engine then you need to be in the first few pages, otherwise the searchers will not see your site.

Search Engine Spiders

Search engines use "spiders" that travel around the internet looking for everything that they can read. They can either be told where the site is by submitting to them, or they will find it through backlinks. These spiders use very complex algorithms that make different parts of the page more significant and they can only read certain coding languages. For a site to be optimised, a spider must be able to read all the information and know which the important bits are. Search engine spiders prefer sites to be just text, but a compromise can be reached between design and function.

What can be Done?

There are many ways to improve your websites visibility in search engines. Improvements that be made to some websites that just improves the readability, sometimes the site will need a complete rebuild. If the rebuild is done by Possitive Designs Plus you can be assured that the site will have improved readability. Once a site has been optimised for the spiders there is a much greater chance for it to be near the top of the listings..
