search engine optimization for your website

August 1st, 2008 by Bradley

Here is some great information posted by web design & hosting company Church Web Works:

“Here are some suggestions about how to improve search results on search engines:
…[a] free option is to visit search engine sites individually (i.e. Google, Yahoo) and find out if they will let you register with them for free. Google’s page is located here.

A similar option that may be more effective is to visit sites like www.addme.com. They offer a variety of options to register your site with search engines. Some options are free while others charge a fee.

You can also improve your rank on search engines by getting other sites to link to yours. Find local sites (chamber of commmerce, etc.) and directory pages that may add a link on their site to yours. Here are some other church directory sites to get you started:
www.churchangel.com
www.netministries.org
www.usachurch.com
www.worshipquest.org
www.findachurch.com
www.churchzip.com
If you want people to easily find the physical location(s) of the organization, use this link to learn about Google Maps listings.”

Remember, though, that posting your church all over these church sites above is like advertising your new church on Christian radio. Who do you think your audience is going to be?
