Search Engine Optimization

Well, I’ve put a lot of effort into search engine optimization of the website for my business. For those familiar with SEO, you may know of something called the sandbox effect where new websites are effectively “ignored” for a certain period of time ranging from 6-9 months, sometimes less, sometimes more. While bigger search engines like Google and Yahoo tend to have longer sandbox terms, MSN seems to have a less strict sandbox.

I was just doing routine checks on certain keywords and my business website is listed on the first page of results on MSN for major keywords related to my market! Needless to say I was quite happy with that, given the fact that the website has only been up for 2 months and it’s now on the first page of the MSN search engine result pages (SERPs) for keywords I’ve targeted.
