During my typical work week, I get called into many consultations where clients, or prospective clients, need help understanding what a URL rewriter is and how to effectively implement one to improve search engine rankings.

A lot of times, prospective clients come to us because they cannot find their site in the search engines. When we investigate, we find a complex URL string with 4 or 5 variables. When we let them know that it is probably because of that issue, they say "but the crawlers have been visiting my site and indexing it."

While this is true, it is important to distinguish indexing from ranking.

It was going so well, so what happened? Many copywriters get off to a wonderful start: The headline is compelling, the body copy is benefit-filled, but then comes the call-to-action and the whole thing falls apart. Why? It could be a dozen different reasons, but one of the most common I've seen is that the call-to-action doesn't fit the target audience.

Call-to-action statements (those final words that inspire your customers to take an action - usually to make a purchase) are not universal. Just like your headline, your sub-heads, and your body copy, calls-to-action need to be as specific as possible. They need to "match" the style of your audience.

It is notable, however, that when there is an important news item, or late breaking news, news sites become the second most popular activity.

So you have your site template designed, its great looking and has a search engine friendly design. The two main questions you may have now are, one, how much content will I need, and two, how many pages?
