The site is indexed!
Posted on | December 20, 2008 | Comments Off
Hey! So if you’re looking for me now, and you google “vapor trail gallery,” you’ll find the site! In fact, Vaportrailgallery.com is the first site at the top of the page. Excellent!
Unfortunately, that’s only a small part of getting a site optimized. Unless I start advertising “Vapor Trail Gallery” like a crazy woman, no one is going to think “SEO” and type in those three words. This is why SEO is so important to drawing traffic to your site. Your audience is essentially walking around in the dark with a vague sense of what they want but they aren’t sure how to find your site or if it even exists. So you want every page and every aspect of your to clearly reflect that.
While it is important to make sure that you rank for your brand name, you should also rank for the service or products that you offer. For instance, I’d like to eventually rank for “SEO blog Chicago,” but right now I’m not in the top fifty listings. This is a highly competitive keyword, so it will take a while for me to rank for that. There are many other keywords I’d like to rank for too, and I think that casting my net wide (but keeping it in the topic) will be my best bet.
