Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization, or SEO, is a working part of the dbCanvas platform.  Managing your sites SEO will no cost you much at all, the only fee is for the domains initial submission into the search engines. Your site will continue to gain popularity from there based upon the structure of its content.

dbCanvas web sites automatically excel at SEO.  Good optimization is achieved by building a site with smart and standardized architecture.  The process of SEO consists of submitting your site to search engines 1 time (they will continually come back after that) and formating your content to accommodate the search terms you would like your site to pull up under. Nearly all dbCanvas sites experience a search engine performance boost of more than 80%.

There is no guarantee of top positioning, there are many sites out there trying to pull up number 1 for same terms.  With the proper site content and structure, you will steadily rise higher in the listings. New domains will take longer to get top positioning,  older established domains will see faster responses in search engines.

Why do dbCanvas sites get better positioning?

dbCanvas sites use a dynamic system for distributing your sites Key Words and Descriptions.  This ensures that each page generated contains all of the Key Words and Descriptions that it can.  dbCanvas sites allow you to edit the Page Title, Key Words and Description for any page on the site with ease.  Having the ability to quickly modify these elements makes easy work of web site tune ups.

The Affiliate Links program is also employed to boost your sites ratings.  Search engines judge the popularity of your site by counting the number of sites that link back to you.  The Affiliate Links program uses a hidden page on your site that contains links to the other sites in the program.  When you put your site on the dbCanvas system, its automatically entered into the Affiliate Links program.  That means that as soon as you sign up, there are lots of other sites linking back to yours!  You instantly gain the benefit from this community effort.
