How to Search Engine Optimize (SEO)? And is it different for each country?

A common query:

Hi Y!A,

I’m a designer living in Japan and have recently started building websites but found it difficult to SEO in general.

I host my websites on Yahoo Small Business servers and have used their Search Engine Submission feature several times to submit my websites to Google, Yahoo, etc. over the course of two years.

When I type in the company names into Google, the websites come up no problem. When I type the company names in Japanese into Google, some websites come up, but mostly only the Contact Page (not the front main page) will come up. Why is that?

And it’s worse when I type only keywords (not the company name)… my clients’ websites do not show up in searches even if I type in the city name! Strangely enough, the company websites may show up because of external blogs or keywords from other websites… but not a direct hit on their website…

I have heard rumors that using a Japanese server is better? Or using a Japanese domain extension (.jp or .co.jp) is better than (.com or .net) since our target customers are in Japan? Is this true?

Here is the source code that I am using in the head of my index.html

==========

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="ja" lang="ja">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Welcome to ABC123</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="ABC123, City Name, Japan, etc."></meta>
<meta name="description" content="ABC123 is the best! etc."></meta>
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp,noydir"></meta>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">

==========

Obviously, my clients would like to have their webpage come up on top (or at least on the first page). What am I missing? Should I keep submitting my websites to the search engines? Build social media pages to increase the number of relevant links? Or is the only sure-fire way is to pay for that top spot?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for all your time.

Cheers!

How important is the location of where online data is stored?

A frequently-asked query:

If all data for a global operating company is stored in one country, does this effect SEO?

For example, a company in the UK who hosts their data in the UK, when someone is searching google.ca (canadian google) will not find the results as they are location based. or are not included as equal data to grab in relation to locally held data..

A company in the UK who wants their data to have the best chance at being in top spots in other locations would need thier data stored in data centers around the world. True or False, Please Explain

Where to advertise a webmaster discussion forum?

A frequently-asked query:

Hey guys,

I want to advertise(banner type) my new webmaster discussion forum(www.shaise.com) but I’m not sure what is the best category websites to do so. I think its not a good idea to advertise to places with the same thematic. The site is about programming, web designing, hosting, SEO/SEM and related ones. I will be more than happy if you post a detailed info(websites) where I can start doing it. Of course, we talk about paid advertising, not freebies.
If any question: MSN shaise@live.com

Any advice on setting up a business website?

A frequently-asked query:

I have the idea, I am actually copying a popular website based business but doing this in a different location and plan to advertise the business. Basically all I need is a website to get started.

This might start out small but grow bigger, and could do so fast. Is there a way to set up my own website, or is it best to just get a professional designer? With my host I already get free web space but I’m not sure how large that is so I’m looking into this as well. I have read that I will need to optimise search engines SEO. This is all new to me and I am wondering the best way to start and proceed, I’d rather do it more cheaply to begin with or else find a good deal on web design, I read I can even lease the website and design with one company, does anyone know if this works? How much roughly does it cost to hire someone to design a business website (in Australia). I’ve just been emailing to ask for quotes.

Any help appreciated thanks!
Thanks chocolate – well I am open to quotes anyway :) You can message me through answers but really I am just looking for advice right now on best way to go.
Thanks IT – not sure what a script is? I can try to work this out though
The business is an agency, local to the area only. There is a big demand as no other agency.

Please don’t go on about advertising – that is not what I asked. Please only those who know about websites to answer.
Thanks Snoop, I shall take all that into consideration!
