Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is marketing strategy used to promote websites by increasing its rank in a list of search engine results. This is done by utilizing various strategies such as keyword research, copyrighting, link building and so on. If a website has a top ranking, then more internet users would clink on its link and eventually increase the traffic necessary to convert it into sales.

There are those who would attempt to do search engine optimization on their own. This is somewhat attainable, considering that the basics of the procedures can be followed with guidelines. However, such an attempt would be basic at best, thus it wouldn’t generate the traffic needed to really optimize a website for maximum revenue. SEO is a complex, tedious process that is best handled by experienced professionals. There are a lot of trusted search engine optimization companies that offer their services to different businesses who would rather focus on company objectives than spend precious time in website optimization. These businesses would look to outsourcing SEO in order to conduct business on a considerably larger scale and effectively compete in the ever-growing internet industry and internet marketing.

SEO outsourcing is a way to cut costs and increase business efficiency. By allocating SEO tasks to a professional company to a foreign land, more money is saved as these countries contract their services at a cheaper price. Once a business establishes its need for SEO outsourcing, they would have to follow these basic steps to start it:

First, is to ask around for well-regarded, legitimate SEO Companies. A trusted, known company promises experience and expertise, and is an advisable choice for those who are starting out in SEO outsourcing. However, like in many cases, do not solely rely on references, but do the necessary research. The business in search of an SEO company should compare the various companies and then determine the best one that can deliver results by the finest, transparent means. Additionally, The SEO Company’s objectives and work ethic should be aligned with theirs. To confirm a company’s credentials, check their references and determine their legitimacy.

Second, negotiate fees and prices. Quality, SEO work will cost approximately 18-100 thousand for the first year, and this will depend on the contracted project’s complexity, expectations and competition level. Choose a company who truly understands the business and will not only aim for high rankings, but increased profitability as well.

And third, determine the length of the contract. This would depend on the company policy. Keep in mind that SEO is not an instant process. There are no shortcuts to it. If there is confidence in the SEO Outsourcing Company’s capabilities, then a 1 year contract would be a good idea. Before taking the plunge, ask important questions like ROI, professionalism, experience and expertise.

Lately, I have been trying to look for a good online company that can get me quotes. I just typed in auto insurance in my specific town in Google and I was returned with a lot of good leads. But then I clicked on the first one and low and behold, the first thing I found was a scam website. Then I typed in another keyword “auto insurance quotes California.” That’s when all the good sites came out. I was able to find one that really focused on customer service.

Thinking about my experience made me wonder about the nature of the internet. There are really a lot of scammers in the net. Conversely, there are also a lot of great finds, and content in the net that one can get cheap or even for free. I have read up on the postmodern theories of deconstruction and I find that the internet embodies a lot of important post-structural ideas. In post-structuralist thought, there is an emphasis on the materiality of language or “textuality.” This term comes from the structuralist ideas of the arbitrary connection between sign and signifiers and the therefore slippery connection between the two. There is no real necessary correspondence between the two. And language is material, meaning it is subject to vicissitudes, corruption, and manipulation. It also contains ideas of the undecidbility of the text or its indeterminacy. To me, I think of how the idea of identity becomes confused or rather is destroyed in the flux of the endlessly perfomative aspect of language.

In the internet, texts are so easy to reproduce. They are also so separate from the speaker which, as the old theories presume, is the holder of the true meaning of the words. Okay, so maybe I am no real expert on the subject and that I really can’t say that I have the firmest grasp of these terms and idea. But when you see a picture in the internet, say of someone dying, or say just of anything, then it is violently extricated out of its context, and is say posted in a forum in another, funnier or perhaps entertaining context, you really see how the image as text is emptied of identity and is slips so easily among contexts and meanings.

That was quite a ramble about the ideas I don’t really have a handle on. Anyway, for those who want to find a good car insurance quote online, just type in the keywords along with your state (for example: auto insurance quotes California) and you will find what you need.
