Search engine optimization firm

NetDogz is a search engine optimization firm that offers targeted organic search engine optimization as well as assistance with paid listings like pay per click or directory listings. We have been in business since 1999 and have helped several different companies attain top 20, top 10 and #1 positions on major search engines. We provided targeted search engine optimization on the following "major" search engines:

• Google
• Yahoo
• MSN

These top 3 search engines provide the vast majority of search engine traffic on the internet (90% to 95% depeending on the source of the statistics). Not only do we target these three search engines but we also get listed on other "minor" search engines like Ask Jeeves, AOL, Netscape, Lycos and others.

Part of our process is determining the correct keyword phrases to optimize for your target audience. We then determine your online competition for these keywords on the major search engines and develop a strategy to get you listed online. Some keywords are more competitive than others so we need to determine which ones are going to be more productive for our client based on their budget and the Return On Investment (ROI) that they require. For example, "real estate" is extremely competitve while "connecticut real estate" is less competive while "hartford real estate" is even less competitive. So, if you are a real estate agency from Hartford, Connecticut it makes more sence to optimize for "hartford real estate" than for "real estate" since it is more targeted, less expensive and will produce better leads for you.

While one search engine optimization agency might insist on submitting your site to the search engines every month is necessary we have found that doing it once is more than enough, and sometimes you don't even need to submit it since most search engines will eventually find your site online while they are crawling the internet.

Custom web site design

A custom web site design can involve several different factors. From something simple to the complex it can vary depending on what the desired outcome is. Some examples of custom web site design include:

• web site graphics
• coded web site pages
• Custom e-commerce website
• flash animation

Since there are a lot of web site builders on the market that offer pre made web site designs, you aren't sure if you are getting a custom designed web site. While some of these companies offer customizations, you should ask the web development company if their designs are created from scratch or if they use web site templates. You want to make sure that if you want a custom design that you are indeed getting a design that is unique to you and your organization. With custom made web site graphics you can make sure that the design that is created reflects your company and it is made to your specifications or the web development company's recomendations.

NetDogz specializes in unique custom designed web sites that get their client's sites noticed. Either including a dazzling flash animation for their home page or customizing an e-commerce site, we can provide you with the customization that your organization requires.

Web site designer

If you are looking for a web site designer, then there are many ways to search for one. For some the obvious choice is to search online with some of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN. You can start off with looking for a webdesigner in your state or metropolitan area, then take a look at their web sites. Does their site look professional or does it look like they need a professional web designer to redo it?

Next, take a look at their web design portfolio. Does it also represent professional web site designs? Do the graphics look consistently good? Does the site flow and make sense or are you lost within the site after a few clicks?

Does the company offer many other web services besides graphic design? If you need to sell products online do they offer e-commerce web site design solutions? Do they offer web application development services such as custom programming. This can provide your site with dynamic content or other database driven data.

Is showing up in the search engines important to your company and your new web site? Usually the answer is a resounding yes. Do they offer search engine optimization services?

Once you have analyzed a few web site design firms you can then narrow your list down to the select few that stand out and then contact them for a web site design quotation.

Hurricane Katrina Web Site Scams

Watch out for Hurricane Katrina web site scams. They are popping up all over the internet. NetDogz was recently contacted to create a web site to help out the hurricane victims. The FBI is warning about bogus charities asking for help.

See the FBI article here.

Always make sure the charity you contribute to is a legitimate one.

Make your own web site

It used to be very difficult to make your own web site. You needed to know how to code in HTML, JavaScript and other programming languages. Then WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) tools like Macromedia's Dreamweaver or Microsoft's Frontpage were created so that you can create web sites without any HTML knowledge. But you still needed to come up with a decent design to make the web site look half way decent. Sure, the WYSIWYG tools had some built in design themes but they really weren't what you were looking for. They never really captured the "look and feel" that you wanted. Of course you could always hire a top web site development firm like NetDogz to do everything for you (plug, plug), but perhaps you want to really do it yourself. Sometimes there is nothing like getting a job done with your own sweat!

Now there is an easy solution. Web sites that let you make your own web site are readily available to today's small businesses. They allow you to easily create a website online with ready to use professional designs very quickly and affordably. In under 5 minutes, you can have a fully functional, professional-looking, feature-packed web site up and running on the Internet. But that's only part of the good news . You'll be in control of the web site building process so you can customize your Internet presence anyway you want using all of the features found at expensively-designed sites, such as pictures, emails, newsletters, and more.
