Search Engine Visibility For Recruiters...Demystified

High search engine visibility can be wonderful for your recruiting business. Have you ever wondered how high rankings are achieved?

Gaining prominent visibility for your chosen keywords is an art. Many factors are considered, such as title tag content (those words you see on the top of your browser), the Metatags value (where you enter relevant keyword words), the link popularity (how many other sites link to your business) and much more. Some great resources to for more information on this are SearchEngineForums.com and Virtual-Promote.com.

I maintain that anyone can increase their search engine visibility. Consider the sites I've built:

Go to Google and search for

internet recruiters
internet recruiting training
recruiting seminars

Both my recruiting seminar company RISE and my flagship site show up in the top ten results.

Now search for

nj engineering recruiters

I designed the site for XiTech Staffing which appears in the top ten.

connecticut recruiter

reveals the recruiter site I built for Edward J Pospesil back in 1997 - you'll see it's still in the top ten.

UT sales resume

shows the resume of Wallace Harkness (a sales/marketing professional in Utah) in the top ten (his site was built off of my template for the job seeker's product Make Them Beg To Hire You).

Many, many many times, professionals have asked me to build them complete recruiter web sites. I know what contributes towards high visibility, I'm well versed in Internet marketing...I always turn out sites that deliver beyond expectations (and that's what the recruiter website templates are based upon!). It's great when, say, Java professionals see your java recruiting web site in the top ten of their searches online.

But can anyone really guarantee top ten placement?

No.

Let me repeat that.

No.

Run away, fast as you can, whenever someone says they can guarantee you top ten placement in search engines. It's impossible to do so! Consider the following - many millions of pages are already indexed. Top ten spots have only ten entries! How can high placement be guaranteed?

In short, it can't. Probability of top ten, however, depending upon the subject, can often be achieved. And it doesn't have to include spam.

The Truth About Search Engine Placement

It takes time, effort and a lot of patience (the Internet Recruiting Edge products explain it in detail). And nowadays, other forms of visibility like Internet Publicity can generate you even more traffic.

Did you know the following?

Search engines change their searching algorithms often. Which means... What shows up in the top ten one week can become invisible the next. And, what shows up high in Altavista, for example, might be at the bottom of the heap in AllTheWeb!

Now imagine that you want to submit it to the major search engines. You receive in email an offer that for only $99 or $49 or $whatever, you can submit your pages to over 600 gazillion sites!

Have you considered:

• Are the sites relevant?
• Will your customers be there?
• Will the pages be resubmitted for no extra cost every month or so?
• Do any of the major search engines regard multiple submissions at one time to be spam, and would penalize your site?

How do you ensure your pages are optimized as needed?

Search Engine Commando is a software product that will automatically track and submit your pages for you. It also provides you with access to bunches of manual search engine secrets as well. If you'd like a resource that's cimpletely targeted to search engine visibility, definitely check it out.

Another well-known ranking software is WebPosition Gold. As described on their site, some people reported that they would spend close to 30 hours a week checking and improving their search positions. With WebPosition Gold you no longer need to invest countless hours to gain a competitive advantage.
