SEO Platforms and Playing Fields
Search engine optimization takes place on three fronts. A good way to conceptualize this is to think of each front or platform as a virtual playing field or location.
- Onsite optimization -
First and mot essential.
- Offsite optimization -
Second and most influential, but less essential. Offsite optimization is how the number one listed sites become the top listing, however sites are not penalized for not focusing on this aspect as they would for neglecting the onsite optimization which will almost certainly have negative effects on your search placement
- Offline branding and advertising -
This is tricky to label as effective or not effective. The best way way to address this arena of search optimization is on a case by case basis. For instance any site that has the ability to keep visitors coming back and back for more such as a FaceBook.com or YouTube.com then this where you are going to want to spend the initial advertising budget. This is the exact opposite if you consider a informative, all purpose site such as About.com
The search engines respond to this aspect of optimization by considering the type in traffic that a site receives. For instance if you advertise your url in a New York News Paper and then during that period your site starts getting tons of type in traffic from people seeing the advertisement and then going to the computer and typing it in directly then after a while search engines will interpret this as a sign of quality traffic and this has a positive effect on your search rankings, which by the way is commonly referred to as "Google Juice" by the blogging and search engine enthusiasts.
