Intuitive Web Sites, Search Engines and SEO
“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”
Search Engines and SEO are still a study in change, nothing new there.
Today, submitting your website urls to search engines via xml sitemaps is the accepted standard. So much easier and more effective than the old ‘search engine/directory submission marathons’.
When seeking long term success - Black Hat SEO is still not the answer.
Black Hat SEO tactics, PPC fraud, and ‘Gaming the System’ are still rampant, but happily even more scrutinized for and blacklisted by Search Engines. Consistent, Natural (Organic, unpaid) Search results are still the goal.
The most important rules still remain the same, and hold true now more than ever:
- Optimize for your subject and target audience - NOT for the Search Engines.
- Keep it Clean and Simple - avoid trying to ‘trick’ Search Engines, focus on Organic Search results.
- Beware of ‘Guaranteed Listing or Placement’ offers - Guaranteed SEO tends to involve risky, short term, often Black Hat techniques which can permanently damage your sites listing eligibility - never mind its listing position.
- Be Patient and Persevere - like it or not, there is no ‘quick fix’ for long term success.
- And whatever you do - Don’t Lie, Don’t Cheat, Don’t Steal.
For long-term success a website should be ‘SEOptimized’ using only proven Search Engine Friendly White Hat techniques which consistently demonstrate improved traffic and Top Natural (Organic) search listings in Google, Yahoo, MSN, and other major search engines, such as intuitive Search Engine Optimization, RSS feeds, ROR Sitemaps.

Intuitive SEO? Yes, absolutely - the concept is the same as intuitive web site design, and still applies to search - meeting web site visitor expectations.
Web sites must try to anticipate search needs, and meet them, before the visitor ever arrives on a site. Difficult, time-consuming, but really not as impossible as it sounds - if you think intuitively.
Of course, if your just not sure, or are busy doing what you do best and don’t have the time to devote to SEO tasks - the best course of action may be to 
I will analyze and research your site page-by-page (up to 10 pages), and in an overall context, and optimize web site content, metas and tags, search keywords and phrases, site and page titles and descriptions.
