What is Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)?
The process of improving your search engine ranking!
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the process of improving your website’s ranking and visibility in search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing for specific keywords. Most of your website’s visitors will find you through these search engines, it is therefore very important to improve your website’s ranking in order to attract visitors and expose your business to the widest audience possible.
Google takes into account over 200 different factors when ranking a web page. We take this criteria into account but we don’t forget that a website is primarily for its users, so we never compromise the websites user experience for the purpose of trying to manipulate search engines. We design websites that are built for people, but recognised by search engines.
What’s Black Hat and what’s White Hat SEO?
Short-Term, Ineffective SEO versus Long-Term, Effective SEO
SEO has come a long way. It is no longer simply about stuffing keywords into a webpage and spamming backlinks all over the web. Although many ‘SEO specialists’ still practice these old methods because they provide fast (temporary) results, we understand that it can be severely damaging to your business in the long run as it is not only ineffective but can also get you blacklisted by the search engines.
Google has made several algorithm updates which has rendered Black Hat SEO ineffective. Google is very strict and when it discovers Black Hat methods, your website can drop down in rankings by many pages and may never recover. If your business intends to stay at the top of search engine rankings in order to drive traffic, you must steer clear of Black Hat SEO tactics.
As we have mentioned, there are over 200 different factors taken into account in determining your ranking, however Graftene simplifies this to Content + Relevancy + Popularity equals a stable high ranking position. Websites are ranked based on these three things, and clever white hat strategies and tactics are employed to achieve this.
