Q: Why do I need my website search engine optimized?
A: Having a nice web site will not result in your site getting found by the search engines. Each search engine has its own rules for listing web sites, so if you don’t play by the rules you will never get listed. Alternatively, you will be ranked so low that you are invisible to your target market.
Today more than 85% of all searches online are done via search engines. A well optimised website can provide huge volumes of traffic and resulting sales leads. Your competitors that are doing well are winning business by being listed high in the search engines.

Q: How long does search engine optimization take?

Q: What is "comprehensive linking campaign to highly relevant sites?"
A: "Comprehensive linking campaign to highly relevant sites," sounds very impressive. However, the bottom line is that it is simply linking from one website to another. Before you accept such glamorous words when choosing and SEO company based on linking, you must consider these four items; 1.) Are you only going to have outbound links? If so, they are of little or no use to you, they are however of tremendous value to the website you are linking to; 2.) If they are inbound links to your website they are of value to you and of little or no value to the website they are coming from; 3.) Are they going to be reciprocal links? Meaning links from one website to another. These are good for both parties; 4.) A very critical issue! Once your SEO Company has entered your website into a links campaign be sure to verify the links on the other website's links page is a part of their active navigation. You don't need your website penalized by the search engines for SPAMMING LINKS do you? Links on websites that are not on a links page that is a part of the active website navigation will work against you! The search engines consider this SPAMMING LINKS and your ranking is gone. More over does your SEO Company have a written agreement with the other websites to exchange reciprocal links with?
The bottom line is "Comprehensive linking campaign to highly relevant sites" are SEO industry BUZZ WORDS. Your website must be in the top 10 and reciprocal links exchange and/or inbound links are only a small part of the SEO puzzle.
Q: What is Search Engine Optimization Strategy?
A: There is no such thing per say. Search Engine Optimization is one of two things; 1.) Fixing the existing page code so that a search engine spider can crawl the page and find everything in order so that your page will receive good ranking, or; 2.) You must add the appropriate SEO code (SEO Architecture) that is missing so that the a search engine spider can crawl the page and find everything in order so that your page will receive good ranking. Most people confuse Internet Marketing with Search Engine Optimization, they are different.
Q: How much do you charge to get my website in the top 10?
A: The amount of your investment depends on three things: 1.) The number of pages your website has; 2.) Do you want one or multiple local demographic regions; 3.) Do you want to be ranked nationally or globally? Remember you are retaining us for a minimum of 12 months for local demographical regions and 18 months for national/global ranking once we have deployed the SEO information on your website.

Current estimates of annual e-commerce volume in five years range from hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars per year. Everyone agrees that electronic commerce will be a major factor in 21st century economics. They also agree that online retail trade is becoming part of the mainstream of American shopping.
Q: What are my options for selling products and services online?
A: There are a number of ways you can start selling products and services. You can place an order form online which customers would have to print and mail or fax back, you can accept direct credit card or open account orders online, or you can become part of a supply chain where a business and a group of its vendors are linked together for direct execution of business transactions and transfer of payments. You will have to research your options carefully and determine your ultimate goals.

A: Start-up costs range from as little as $3,500.00 to millions of dollars. It costs virtually nothing to develop a web page promoting your products and place it online if you have the requisite skills and access to an inexpensive host. According to Internet.com , a major source of e-commerce news and information, medium to large size corporations spend an average of one million dollars to develop and implement their corporate e-commerce sites. Somewhere between these two numbers is where you will find yourself. That is why business planning for electronic commerce is so important.
A: Yes, you can, depending on what your business host offers. It is an item that you will need to look at when choosing your host.
Q: How can I effectively market my online business?
A: You can market in a variety of ways, including both traditional and online marketing techniques. Look at your competitors' ads in magazines, on television, and direct mail. Do they promote a web site? You may need assistance in developing your online strategy, but the channels are there.
Q: Can I ensure that online transactions are secure?
A: There are a number of well-tested security systems that have been operating long enough to prove their worth. The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is one of the more common environments for online transactions. Consult with your business host service on security issues, including warranties.
Q: What is SSL?
A: SSL uses encryption along with a Digital ID to provide the
ability to transfer data securely over the Internet. Below is the
definition of what a Digital ID is found off of VeriSign's web page:
Digital IDs are the electronic counterparts to driver licenses,
passports, and membership cards. You can present a Digital ID
electronically to prove your identity or your right to access
information or services online. Digital IDs, also known as digital
certificates, bind an identity to a pair of electronic keys that can
be used to encrypt and sign digital information. A Digital ID makes
it possible to verify someone's claim that they have the right to
use a given key, helping to prevent people from using phony keys to
impersonate other users. Used in conjunction with encryption,
Digital IDs provide a more complete security solution, assuring the
identity of all parties involved in a transaction.

Q:
Will SSL allow me to accept credit cards?
A: SSL will provide you with the secure environment
to transfer the actual credit card information from the browser to
the server, you will then be responsible for getting the credit card
information from the server to you, and then processing the credit
card information. You will also be required to obtain a Merchant
Account from an accredited financial institution which you will use
to process the credit card information. There are several options
available to you for processing the credit card information once it
is on the server. You can use a company like CyberCash which enables
you to securely process credit card transactions 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. You can also use PGP(encrypted email) to transfer
the credit card information from the server to your computer, and
then run it through credit card processing software yourself. You
should be able to find more information about this type of software
from your financial institution.
Q:
How do I make my customers comfortable with online transactions?
A: This has become less of an issue after the 1998
holiday season, where millions of consumers purchased over $625
million online. New technologies are being developed which will
eventually reduce the need for consumers to enter credit card
information online, but the widespread acceptance of online credit
card transactions has already taken place.
Q:
What is a "Shopping Cart Program" and where can I get one?
A: A shopping cart program allows you to offer products to
your clients with an easy to use interface that generally allows
them to go to different pages within your site and select items to
put in their virtual "Shopping Cart". When they are done, they check
out and the shopping cart program calculates the total. There are
several shopping cart programs for you to choose from, here's the
list of currently available ones from the CGI Resource Index:

Q: Is
technical assistance available?
A: There are many electronic commerce consultants
available. You best bet is to find one with references you can
check. Also, many business hosts offer free or low-cost assistance
as part of their package for online vendors. Do your homework and
check everything carefully before signing any contract.
