It must have more quality, content, and professional look to it. Which means theyâ??ll usually do something thatâ??s flash heavy and/or something else that isnâ??t seo-friendly.

Between changing titles, adding products, adding content, installing a shopping cart, thereâ??s a lot going on with your website. Those systems are often not SEO friendly. So while Zales might be able to tell their shareholders how much money they sold in the 3rd quarter of 2005, the small jewelry store down the street can figure out how much money they made, how many of each product they sold, and still rank in the top 10 for their big keywords.

One thing that I notice that can bring visitors to one's website/blog is by writing about subjects that are not mentioned by many people. And if the subject is recent, then even better. This way there's a bigger probability that search engines may find your article. Using not so commonly used words can also get some visitors. Kind regards, José Hi,

There is always a chance for the small guys. BUT..only in some industries. In others, the big guys have a good SEM team besides brand recognition and is almost impossible to beat them. I agree.

Some of the worst optimized sites I've seen are from very large Enterprise type companies. It's not that these guys are idiots. It's more often than not because the guy in charge know's what to do but can't get it implemented because of red tape and legacy backend systems. Great Post!
