Costa Rica SEO and web design - Revisited!

May 31, 2010 - PRLog -- Albeit a complex subject, Costa Rica SEO and web design are absolutely joined at the hip. And if not, then they should be.

When starting your online business why would anyone deliberately put their company at a disadvantage? Surprisingly this is common place and not only in Costa Rica, but world-wide.

Daily, SEO strategists preach the importance of having not only great web design but also "functional" web design. A functional web site is one that works while you sleep per se. It is a design that is Google friendly and is constantly 'feeding' the Google spiders what they desire. What do they desire? We can sum that up in one phrase...CONTENT IS KING!

If you think of Google crawlers like fish in a tank, the food that they so desperately want is content. Fresh, relevant content. That means no copy and pasting but actual articles unique to your site.

But like anything else in the world, there is a whole other skill when it comes to content writing and in order to get the full effect of unique content, it's best to be written by a professional copywriter with a background in SEO.

As far as web design...like the saying goes, "it's not all what it seems on the surface."

You see you can have a great looking web site however behind the scenes (in the coding) your web page is about as effective as a dog's tail. No matter how much you wag you're still not moving anywhere.

For example, we will often come across beautiful web pages however the moment we look at the source coding of the site, it all goes to waste. This is why you'll see simpler, less attractive sites, outperforming your own. They have "ok" looking sites however behind the scenes they are feeding Google what they want.

Here is what Google wants: (listed in order of relevance)

* Meta tags (Title, Description and Keywords)
* Sitemap w/ clean design code
* Unique Content
* Backlinks

If you can learn the inner workings of all of the above mentioned, then you will be well on your way to having a successful site.

Ideally the best case scenario would be for your web designer to have the skills of SEO, design and marketing all in one package. Trouble is they are few and far between.
