SEO For The Long Term

August 21st, 2008 by

It can be tempting for a website to reduce their efforts when an SEO campaign
begins to show quantifiable improvements in profit. After all, the work is
done and your business is reaping the rewards right? Unfortunately, by putting
a hold on SEO it means that your website will begin to lose the advantage that
it has over the sites below and will fail to make nay further impact on the
sites above it. In the short term this can mean other pages progressing beyond
your own and in the long run it can mean keywords becoming much less effective.

New, Fresh Content

Adding fresh content on a regular basis can help reinforce existing keywords
and topics while also providing you with a greater range of keywords targeted.
While it won’t be necessary to regularly complete on page optimisation for
all of your pages (unless you need to change keywords) adding fresh content
certainly proves beneficial to the typical website. Search engines love fresh
content and they also love websites that are filled with relevant content for
their users.

Long Term Link Building

Link building is perhaps the most labour intensive part of an SEO campaign,
and is the single biggest ongoing aspect of a search engine optimisation campaign.
At its most basic, the more links you can attain to a page of your site, the
better it will perform. Yet some of the search engines do not give the full
benefit of a link until it has been online for several weeks or months. Building
links should be done over time and the link building process should be considered
a long term process.

Masses Of Links

For the most competitive of your keywords it may be necessary garnish a page
with hundreds or even thousands of high quality links from different sites
on a related theme to your own. This isn’t just labour intensive but is likely
to be time intensive too. Gaining links from sites that are essentially competing
with your own is not necessarily an easy task but furthermore, other pages
will continue to build their own links.

Being Overtaken

When you stop link building and performing other SEO tasks, those pages behind
you will steal a march on you. Some of them will undoubtedly continue in their
own efforts and this means that after a period of time they will overtake you.
Even if you pick up the cudgel again at this point it will take time and effort
to regain your ranking and enjoy the same levels of traffic you once did.

SEO As A Long Term Solution

SEO needs to be an ongoing project for it to be at its most effective. Failing
to commit to it as a long term method of online marketing may mean reasonable
results initially but they will most certainly fade as time passes. Other pages
will improve their efforts while yours remain stagnant and as more and pages
overtake you, the results will steadily worsen.
