Webgloss concentrates on optimisation for the Google Search Engine. This is by far the most popular search engine in the world and many other search engines take their listings from those indexed by Google.
We also follow the rules set by Google and do not believe that cheating is necessary to achieve a good position within search engine listings. We create well designed, genuine websites which have been optimised for Google and never use tactics such as hidden text which could jeopardise our clients' search engine positioning if discovered.
Search engine submissions are included in your package
Soon after your site has been designed and is 'live' online we will submit it
by hand to the major Search Engines. Many web design companies charge extra for this service and are unable to offer the excellent results that Webgloss achieves.
Your site will be reoptimised for search engines
Statistics and the performance of your site will be regularly tracked by Webgloss and, when necessary, the code and content will be re-optimised to ensure that
it has the best possible chance of being given an excellent position within the Google search engine. Recommendations for changes to content will be sent to you for approval prior to being implemented.

Listed below are just a few Webgloss sites that were on the first page of Google in September 2007 for their most commonly used search phrases.

All the search phrases above are relevant - they have not been constructed to 'just make the results look good'.
This is a serious consideration when looking at search engine results as the key phrases used must be those that people really will type into a search engine when trying to find a website.
We do not charge extra to submit your site
Many firms will charge you large amounts of money just to 'submit' your site through the 'free submissions' service on search engines.
Webgloss will submit your site by hand to the major search engines for no extra cost - it is included in your monthly package fee.
Some firms will tell you a load of rubbish
There is no guarantee of a free listing with any major search engine and any web design firm that advises differently is advising you incorrectly.
Webgloss advises that you think very seriously before parting with any money to firms offering wonderful guaranteed results with search engine listings.
Amazingly, even Google receives the spam emails that begin..
"Dear google.com,
I visited your web site and noticed that you are not listed in most of the major search engines and directories..."
Google advises: "Reserve the same scepticism for unsolicited email about search engines as you do for "burn fat at night" diet pills or requests to help transfer funds from deposed dictators."
Be very careful - cheating doesn't usually pay in the long term and tactics
such as 'hidden text' can cause Google to ban your website from their search engine
Webgloss will never use 'hidden' text on your website. A few years ago it was common for web designers to design a business site and include all the necessary key phrases many times in text that was white on a white background, or hidden using tags that prevented display. This was in an attempt to fool
the search engines' indexing software and eventually the major search engines all found out about it. Google treats this kind of cheating very seriously and may even remove your business permanently from their search engine if it finds that your site contains hidden key words.
The best way forward is to have a site that faithfully represents your business without using any underhand techniques. There is no reason why your business website, if properly designed, should not receive a good listing by Google and if a web designer suggests techniques such as using hidden text, you should reconsider whether they are really the right design company to entrust your business web presence with.
'Linking' campaigns may also be dangerous
Google also gives this quote they received from a business:
"We have been on the internet since 1996 and had always taken a very conservative approach on our site. For nearly a year though, we were bombarded by emails from third party linking programs, which stressed the importance of linking for relevancy.
Finally, we broke down and joined one of these programs. Unfortunately, the program used hidden links, and Google removed us from the index within a week. I guess it's true that anyone can get fooled into buying snake oil."

Be extremely cautious and don't believe the hype that lands in your email box!
