Here are some tools that we recommend to Bufflehead Web
Design clients. If you rely on your computer for business, there are many software programs that can help protect
you from the virus, spam and spyware threats that can cost you valuable work days.
We also recommend strongly that
you back-up your important business files regularly. Most computer headaches can be avoided if you have copies
of your files in case of a PC failure.

Topic: Search Engine Ranking
There is a high level of frustration by web site owners when they have a good site, but no one can find it through the search engines and
the amount of visitors to the site is low.
>> Here are some facts on search engine rankings:
1. The vast majority (90%+) of search engine referrals/traffic in the U.S. are referred by Google, Yahoo and MSN, according
to various sources. Therefore, any search engine strategy needs to focus on rankings in these search engines.
2. According to Google, there isn't 1 single search
engine submission company that has a "special relationship" with Google that guarantees their
clients rapid and top rankings on the Google search engine. Of course, Google could be lying, but they are a publicly traded company
and lying is generally frowned upon.
3. Getting top rankings on Google, Yahoo and MSN tends to be a process. After identifying a solid list of 10 keyword/phrase
searches that people would use to find your site on a search engine and optimizing the pages for these keywords, improved rankings will not
occur overnite. Patience is the key!
4. Even with top 10 rankings in the search engines, a large percentage of your web site's traffic will come from "direct
requests" --> people who are typing your domain name directly into the address line in their browser. These people are
getting your web site address through word-of-mouth, business cards, brochures, etc.
Recommendations: Bufflehead Web Design offers a Search Engine Submission Service. In this service,
we work with you to identify the search terms people are using to find your site, optimize your site for best rankings, submit
your site to approx. 70 search engines, and then give you a follow up 60 day report to show you the improvement in your site
rankings.
