May 3, 2010 - PRLog -- Automotive marketplace has always been competitive, due to recent increase in number of dealerships, and downturn in the economy. It is absolutely crucial for a dealership's website to out perform its competitors to ensure your survival in the real world. Take a walk down on any major street near your home and count just how many dealerships are out there in one square km. And it is only recently the dealer principles understood the importance of SEO or search engine optimization. Your Google ranking and visibility is a must have if you need to stay competitive in your designated key words. Ranking well on Google is little more complicated than just a few paragraphs of explanation, it mainly can be broken into two parts. The first part is called "on page optimization" where your web site design play a major role in your ranking. We need to look into few topics such as keyword density, internal anchor links, web page structure, meta tags and so on. The second part is called "off page optimization" where your website is counted for its inbound links, relativity of topic, and of course your outbound links. It is tedious work you must be prepared to face, because your competitor is doing this as we speak.

Many SEO projects will require a blank canvas or a complete redesign of your existing site, this is not surprising because your previous web site is not up to SEO standards. If your website has great on page optimization techniques already build in, than you should thank your existing web designer, or designing company. But most of the automotive related website we have came across today completely lacks any SEO friendly techniques. The next time you are approached by a SEO firm or company be sure to ask their techniques, and client portfolio. There is nothing worse than an expensive SEO project only to find out you have been black listed by Google due to bad SEO practices. Be suspicious if your SEO firm can "guarantee" any placement on Google, a true professional will understand the Google ranking rules and will not be able to offer such guarantee.
