There's more to Web site design than meets the eye...
Many Web designers don't
design Web pages with the search engines in mind. They are only concerned
with the overall look. Although what visitors see is very important, the
overall look is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to achieving top
search engine placement. Unlike human visitors, search engines "see" beneath
the surface—the specific HTML source code. This is where your page design can make or break your search engine placement.

Search engine optimization, also known as search engine
positioning, is the process of developing Web pages that incorporate
critical design elements used by the search engines to determine which pages
are listed at the top of the results for a given keyword or keyword phrase.
Since very few individuals look beyond the top 30 sites in the search
results, without optimization your site will be lost among the millions of web pages seldom if ever
visited by your potential customers.
To design Web sites that rank in the top search engine positions it's necessary to:
-
Understand the design elements used by the search engines to determine page ranking.
-
Choose the right keyword phrases.

pages.
The Bottom Line
Designing for the search
engines isn't as important if your company's Web site address is Toyota.com or your marketing budget
supports online marketing models such as pay per click and sponsored listings
as well as other traditional marketing techniques such as print, radio and
television to drive potential customers to your Web site. The good news is that your
Web site's online presence can be just as visible as a well-known company by paying
particular attention to your page design.
