Finding Wollongong web sites

Searching for local web sites (on any search engine) generally leads to somewhat disappointing sets of results.

Search Engines to Blame?

It would be easy to point a finger at the search engines themselves and accuse them of being inadequate and of course to a large extent this is absolutely correct.

However, if we look more closely at the task a search engine is required to perform, we can begin to appreciate how well they actually perform.

Search Engine - Relevance

Search engines are required to find web pages that are relevant to just a few keywords a searcher might type in as a search query.

For example, a person might type in the keywords search engine optimisation wollongong. Simple, the search engine sorts through a store of data for websites that are relevant to the entered keywords.

The important thing here is relevance. A search engine has to determine how relevant each web page is to a particular set of keywords.

This task involves using sophisticated computer algorithms to analyse the contents of all web pages and prepare a lists of pages with the greater the relevance the higher the position. When a visitor conducts a search, the search engine has to furnish a list of websites relevant to the keywords typed in. The speed and accuracy of how well Google and other search engines do this is actually quite remarkable.

Clues to relevance

The search engine algorithms obtain clues to relevance by analysing the content of pages and how they link to each other.

Search Engine Optimisation

Basically search engine optimisation is about making sure the clues to relevance are present and in a form the search engine algorithms can recognise.

Another way of describing search engine optimisation is to say that it is the method by which web pages are made search engine friendly.

Top 10 on Search Engines

Most websites will get a position within the top 10 of the Search Engine Results Pages SERPs when the name of the website or company is entered as the search term but usually not when products and/or services are entered.

Searchers use keywords

Since most businesses have not scaled the heights of becoming household names, they need to be found with search keywords that are relevant to the services or products they sell.

Unless your website achieves top 10 positions for relevant keywords on the major search engines it will probably not be serving you as an effective marketing tool.
