SEO tip of the day
Posted by Anya in othersidenotes on February 5th, 2009
Here’s one thing to think about when looking at optimizing your Web site for search engines. You should think about your keywords and make sure the titles on each page of your Web site use these keywords as much as possible.
So for example, if you’re a business intelligence software company, you don’t want the heading on your product page to read “products”. You want it to read “business intelligence products” or the like. Each page should be optimized this way. These heading are often referred to in HTML speak as H1 tags, because this is the coding that should be around each of these headings in order to be picked up properly by google and the like.
Take a look at your source code to make sure your headings are optimized, or contact your webmaster to make sure these are optimized!

Ok, I know, you don’t really “launch” a consulting firm. I mean, it’s not like we were in private beta and now we’re live. (Although that would have been hilarious!) But we did finalize a lot of things, not the least of which were my biz cards, and sent out our official press release this morning for the launch of the company! Check it out here…
We’ve also been working on the SEO for the site, which has been VERY frustrating. With a new URL, we’re faced with being shunned by Google for what some have estimated a full six months while they decide whether or not we’re a real company/site. Our search ranking on MSN is #1, but that’s no real consolation since I don’t know anyone who actually uses MSN. Tips to shorten the time we are placed in this “Google sandbox” are to increase the number of inbound links and visitors, and wait. So! If you have a blog or site and want to link to us and help the cause, please do! www.othersidegroup.com. Any other advice on SEO efforts at this early stage are welcome!
