subject: The Challenges of Search Engine Optimization by:Team Creatives [print this page] Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is vital in every web site's existence on the web. No one would like to have a website and just let it sit there with very little chance of getting visited. That is why big challenges are always involved with every Search Engine Optimizer's work. Each website has different SEO needs. And each of these needs have to be compatible with search engines' algorithms.
Coordinating with Many Departments
The problem is often encountered when handling a big brand website. Although there are also advantages in optimizing a website like Microsoft because it has already created a mark on its industry considering it is one of the first in the business, it already has many downsides. For instance, you have to conform to the standards of each of the many departments you have to coordinate with. Concise information and proper wordings are very important to the company since products' specification, prices, etc. always surfaces in their website first.
Giving Precise Information without Duplicating
This is the hardest part when optimizing a catalog website such as Barnes and Nobles and Sears. Their websites are comprised of existing products, which make the work difficult because you need to be creative enough to make the catalog worth reading and be attractive to visitors without making it very identical to the original document. Another key is set categories for the user to have an easy time comparing products, which they need more time and effort if they visit each products website. That is the reason why even though the website of each brand offers more precise information about their products, catalog websites still have great web presence. Also, most of them offer reviews that can help consumers make their choice.
Making Search Engine Spiders Visit your Website Often
It is very important that search engine spiders visit your website every now and then but doing so often can be a very big advantage for your website. However, it is beyond any web master's control to get the spiders crawl their site. It becomes every SEO's challenge to be innovative in thinking of ideas on how to make such. But as they say, there is a solution to every problem and adding a new web page every month is the way to solve this. Of course, it is better if you can do this on a weekly basis. It may sound very time-consuming but it really isn't. In fact, a new article each week can do the job.
Optimizing a website is just like our everyday life. There are challenges that we need to work around to be able to survive in the fast-paced and competitive world of online business. SEO is not as easy as others think. Continuous research is needed to be able to discover new processes that would benefit your website. And it doesn't end there because you need to try them to know the result, be it positive or negative outcome. As long as you are open-minded and has time to explore new trends, the whole SEO process shouldn't be stressful.
