When trying to determine how to effectively market your website in today's competitive Internet world, where do you start? Our Answer - Search Engine Optimization (SEO), also affectionately known as "Search Engine Positioning" (SEP).

At Ie96.com our main objective for each individual client is to increase their presence on the World Wide Web. We do this through utilizing various search engine positioning techniques, such as:

• Client and competitor analysis
• SEO coding/editing (meta tags and alt tags)
• Design and html (sitemap and insertion of mini-indexes)copy/content editing
• Manual submissions to major search engines
• Pre-traffic analysis in conjunction with your optimization
• Running of baseline ranking reports (current ranking in Search Engines)
• Running of final ranking report - editing for client's needs and for putting online
• Final analysis of traffic stats to determine: spider activity, whether individual pages are being viewed or not
• Preparation of online interactive marketing report (approximately 6 weeks after initial optimization)

This is all covered in our basic initial optimization package. As every project is unique and can vary considerably, it is hard for us to provide you with a set price without first reviewing your site. Please Contact Us if you want us to review your site.

For an additional basic monthly fee we will continue to monitor your rankings and positioning amongst the top 8-10 search engines. This is a process in which we continuously verify and test current strategic keywords and phrases both manually and automatically. We also verify how these findings actually rank against your competitors and make any changes that are necessary to maintain your position.

This process takes approximately 5 business days to implement. However, please NOTE that this does not include the submission timeframes. Search Engine Optimization is a continuing process, so be very wary of any one who claims that it can be done quickly and easily.

At Internet Enhancements we also recommend to all our potential clients to carry out their own basic research first. This helps to assist you in ensuring that your company's particular needs are being addressed.

One of my favourite sites is called www.Clickz.com. At this site you will find a wide variety of helpful and informative articles. Their "Column" section is simply amazing.

Below we have included a direct link to their search engine optimization section at http://clickz.com/column/seo.html. One word of caution though, this site is contagious.

If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at Info@ie96.com .

Thank you for your interest in Internet Enhancements.
