CASE STUDIES : Shoefest.com - SEO Services

 

When we started working with the www.shoefest.com website it was nearly a startup with about a hundred daily visitors. The main idea behind the SEO campaign was to bring this online store into the row of the top online shoe stores and to make the customers notice not only the models of the shoes or the prices, but also make shoefest.com a name and a brand of it’s own value.

On site optimization techniques such as meta tag optimization, keyword density and code optimization boosted up Shoe Fest’s search relevancy for chosen keywords making a store attractive not only for customers but for search engines as well. A website’s presence on the web highly depends on the number of incoming links from relevant websites, catalogues, and social networks. The more exposure a site gets the more visitors and potential clients will visit it. Incoming links are also important since search engines judge about sites’ popularity and relevance for search using link count.

During the SEO campaign SEO Consultant focused on the following steps:

 

• Niche analysis and suggestion of the potentially marvelous keywords;

• Integration of the newly chosen keywords and key-phrases into the site-structure;

• On-site optimization that included revising of the meta-information and introducing selected keywords into the site meta;

• XML sitemap creation and submission to Google;

• Robots. Txt creation and relevant adjustments;

• Checking and fixing broken links;

• Submission to the minor Search Engines;

• Submission to the related catalogues;

• Link-exchange with relevant web-sites using two-way and three-way link-exchange schemes;

• Creation of new incoming links using social bookmarking websites and many other methods;

• Full monthly reports on the SEO work performed on the basis of statistic analysis drawn from Google Analytics.
