SEO or Search Engine Optimization
So, what is SEO or Search Engine Optimization, anyway?
Advanced Search Engine Optimization
Bigfoot. Marketing provides Advanced Search Engine Optimization services.
We provide only "white hat" or "legal" SEO services. Good SEO is natural and will not necessarily yield quick results, but will eventually yield good results that have staying power.
SEO is the abbreviation for Search Engine Optimization.
SEO is anything that an individual does on the internet and in particular on his Web site that improves his Web site's rank in the organic results of the search engine results pages (SERPs).
To "optimize" your Web site for search engines is to do what the search engines want in order to list or rank your Web site more favorably (higher) than other Web sites or web pages that are competing for rank for the same search phrases or keyword phrases on your web pages.
It is complex these days, and beyond the ability for most persons to accomplish good results on their own. This is especially true when there is a lot of "competition" for the keyword phrases that have value to you.
Advanced SEO Service is More than On-Page or On-Site Search Engine Optimization
On-Site SEO (About 25% of the Equation)

We will fulfill all of the basics for good, on-site SEO. For the best results, you should select only one, main keyword phrase per page. If you want other sub keyword phrases on a page, you should limit them to no more than two more.
On site SEO is accomplished by doing the right things on your own website, such as properly naming your META tags, using HEADING tags and appropriate text decoration.
Accurately naming your ALT tags for your website's images, having the right balance of text and graphics, as well as an adequate quantity of good text are also paramount to good on site SEO.
The things outlined below are seven elements of good, on-site seo, but they are not explained in detail.
