Apart from the whole process that goes along with keyword selection, there is a whole lot of other stuff which needs to be done on your site if you want to keep your SEO Campaign successful and relevant for your business.  So, once you have launched your campaign, don’t get too comfortable, do your homework, keep monitoring, analysing and tweaking.

Statistics show that it will be about a year, one whole year, until you see any tangible results, this is of course subjective, but however long it takes these see results will depend on how much attention you put into your SEO campaign right from the start, and constantly thereafter. Your goal is to get ranked, and to stay ranked which certainly will not happen if you are neglectful.

Individual vs. Specialist

It is time consuming and depending on the size of your site, you may very well need to employ someone on your staff who is focused on just this task, or you may have the time to do it yourself.  Another option is that you employ the services of a team of experts who make their living driving SEO Campaigns on your behalf, whatever you decide you need to ensure that that you are actively involved at all times.

Why is it so Time Consuming?

Well, there is a lot to do - you need to check out what your competition is doing on their site at all times, so you don’t get left behind.  You need accurate statistics showing how your site is performing and even if you install software to do this, input is still needed from your side; for example, if your hit rate is down you will need to investigate and take appropriate action.

You must ensure that your content is at the highest level you can achieve and is constantly updated. These are just a few things that will help keep your site in the rankings.

Link Building

As well as all these and other attentions, a very important one is link building.  The concept behind link building is that you get as many links to your site as possible scattered over the World Wide Web, which using a process involving creating inbound links to your website, if you are not sure what this is, or how it is done, you will need an expert to help you.

This is a crucial part of an Search Engine Optimisation campaign but it is extremely time consuming, and can prove quite frustrating, but the benefit is this; as it is a very important off page optimization factor, it will boost your search engine rankings immensely, but remember, it is a full time job.

You need to make sure that your link is active at all times on your chosen search engines, and also check that any links your are hosting on your pages are active and relevant at all times.  Link building is very time consuming, but Advertising a link that is old, or switched off could affect the popularity of your site and therefore, your rankings
