Two Tips for Search Engine Optimization
Keeping on top of your web site can be as slippery as giving a baby a bath. The World Wide Web is always new, always slipping out of your grasp. Markets change. Technology evolves. Just when you think you have everything under control, new issues pop up.
Your search engine optimization (SEO) may be affected by two important facets: Yellowpages.com and the Norton Safe Search utility. Taking care of these requires just a small investment in your time or your web developer's time.

The Necessity of a Professional Web Site

And not just any web site. A bad site hurts your professional image.

What SEO Can Do For You
 Search engine optimization, or SEO, is one of the most cost-effective ways to direct people to your web site, particularly for a small business.
Typically, the higher a web site ranks in a search engine (like Google or Yahoo), the more people will see it.

Don't Trust the Internet to Get it Right!
Periodically we do a search for our own company, Lakenetwork.net, to see where it is turning up in the search engines.
Horror of horrors! Last time we looked, we found that some of the search engines and sites are displaying the wrong web site address. They are sending people to www.lakebusinessjournal.com, which was our very first client back in 2005, rather than our own site, www.lakenetwork.net.
Thankfully, we are displayed correctly on the two largest search engines, Google and Yahoo. And our paid listings in the AT&T family such as Yellowpages.com, which we control, are also correct.
But the third largest search engine, Bing.com, somehow picked up the wrong information.

"As a start-up business in a very limited market, we would not have survived without the expertise of Lakenetwork web site development. In less than two weeks my business was in the top three listings on three of the most popular search engines. Without Lakenetwork I would still be making cold calls instead of supplying my services to paying customers."
