Search Engine Optimisation or SEO is now a compulsory requirement for all ambitious companies having their own websites in the World Wide Web. It is essential for a company to optimise its site if it wants to make money from the online presence. But there are hidden minefields in the process. We will discuss some of those in the following paragraphs. But first the good news- these problems can be solved with a bit of effort from your part.

The main task of a SEO company is to attract visitors to the website. The visitor must click the link to view the site. In this scenario, a great title plays a significant role. A great title is one that the user must click. It must arouse his or her curiosity. Sadly, most SEOs do not understand that. They concentrate too much on keywords. Visitors searching through results click on the most interesting titles- it do not matter whether they appear on the first, fifth or tenth position in the search results. An attractive headline is one of the surest ways to lure the visitor to click it to enter the website. If you are in the business of making money from clicks, then an attractive headline will double your revenues.

Content duplication is another cause for headache. A long time ago, blog software merged all posts into a single page in a single category for ease of reading. But this has changed. Search engines now direct the visitor to relevant content. It does not direct the user towards huge pages of immaterial information. In other words, duplication of content is discouraged.

Domain names can also be duplicated. Many fly-by-night operators do scams of legitimate websites to lure unsuspecting visitors. In this scenario, the site name may appear twice. The search engine algorithm will come to a decision that every web page in your site is duplicate- even when it is not. To solve this problem, follow the given instructions.

Websites that use AJAX suffer from the fact that many search engine spiders do not crawl over it. To a spider, these websites are not factored in. To remedy the situation, turn off JavaScript, Cookies and Plug-in like Flash etc.

I have saved the worst for the last. And that is spamming. Everybody hates a spammer- including the search engine. So, if it categorizes you as a spammer, you-and your website will be in deep trouble. This happens when website owners target search engines- and not humans as they should. If you are a SEO professional, you must make sure that the website you are entrusted to is not labeled as spam. Also, do not make the mistake of using too much SEO techniques in a single place.
