Aardvark – How does SEO promote a website?

What is SEO and how does it help to promote a web site. Where do we go to find SEO’s?
- Ashok G. M / Tacoma, WA

SEO is the process of
1) Researching and Selecting keywords that your potential customers would use to find what you offer
2) Optimizing your website(s) to show up when these keywords are searched
3) Measuring the results of these efforts and being on a path of continuous development.

It is, IMO, the most cost-effective way to promote a website and earn free traffic from search engines. Visitors resulting from SEO are looking for what you offer and have already chosen your site out of the set produced on a search engine results page (SERP). Once one your website, it is the job of your design, language and usability that will earn you their business.

You can find SEO services:
1) In search engines, they better get themselves ranked, at least in their area
2) In the Phone book
3) On a BBB listing, looking for SEO Companies with great BBB ratings.
4) In SEO directories, but keep in mind that those listings are paid so you will mainly find companies with more money than smaller, local SEO companies. Buy Local!

Hope this helps!
