2 Premium Marketing Services for Business Website Optimisation Services Introduction: Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the science of assisting websites to improve their rankings on the search engines. The search engines provide a significant proportion of all visitors to a website. SEO is a marketing task that (i) assesses the terms people actively use in the search engines, (ii) focusses a website on specific phrases while also (iii) overcoming the obstacles that prevent website access by search engines inherent in modern day website development methods. When professionally applied, Pace SEO encompasses a range of on & offline marketing initiatives for the client to drive revenue and create value from your website investment. 1. Keyword Discussion: a. Keywords are the words that people use in the search engines. A large part of SEO asks the question - which terms do people really use. Pace has access to unique search engine statistics for precision keyword targeting. b. K eyword discussions also include an assessment of terms for which the site currently ranks high, and the migration strategy targets preservation of any existing rankings. c. reporting of search engine rankings instigated from date of contract shows trend data and focuses SEO attention on accountability and results. 2. SEO Deliverables: A detailed keyword analysis will be prepared from which recommendations are generated. reporting of search engine rankings will be instigated from the date of contract, making the SEO accountable and providing data for future directions. Detailed search engine optimisation of the website for targeted terms Depending on the preferred package ongoing fine tuning and SEO work will occur on either a monthly, bi-monthly or quarterly basis and this will typically correspond with results. Website traffic analysis is conducted on a similar basis according to package preference. 3. Your external web network: Google considers the quantity, quality & relevanc e of websites that link to your website before it calculates a final ranking for a particular term. One of the most important tasks for the site is to increase the amount of external websites linking to the site. At the discussed price range, our roles in the linking process are clearly specified below: The linking process in further detail over page Upon commencement of the service, Pace provides an excel spreadsheet into details of potential linkees (contact name/url/ address etc) will be entered, and we then discuss the various linking options available. We work together to generate an appropriate mail out to these link potentials. The process usually involves adding the link to your own links page first. Pace handles the process of sending the message out with specific link code for each. This maximises the value of every inward link and is a unique benefit of using Pace for search engine optimisation. Your address is on the letter (if you prefer) to personalise these mailouts c orrectly.

3 Pace monitors the potential sites for 'compliance' over time (eg. check sites monthly), and follow up potentials with revised letters every 2 weeks or as you see fit. Depending on the results, we discuss more options for obtaining more link potentials. Some corporate clients rely on Pace for conducting the entire process (including sourcing the inward links) with pricing into the $400/mth region and is available upon request. Enhanced Linking Services - the clink network The clink network is simply, a safe and economical way to boost your website s rankings by creating more inward links to your website. The service creates an optimised network by connecting together Pace s client websites with the customer websites of the high quality web developers & marketing teams from Australia and New Zealand with whom Pace works actively. It is an invite-only linking strategy working across the two countries to create permanent search engine ranking improvements for all. The service is borne out of the following facts: 1. Top 10 search engine rankings for competitive phrases can only be achieved when a site has a high number of websites linking to it. How these sites link together is crucial and ever changing. One of the tasks of an SEO provider like Pace is to keep up with the search engines changing ways. 2. Generalised Link farms exist to provide links to websites, but their integrity is usually questionable. Aside from being very expensive (often $50/mth or more for one link) it is difficult to verify the integrity of sites involved in these link farms. Due to the non-differentiating approach taken by most link farms, websites blacklisted by google may contaminate the network resulting in degradation of status of the sites involved. Inclusion into the clink network costs $350/yr and requires your website to have a links page.
