dbCanvas websites automatically excel at SEO, or Search Engine Optimization. SEO 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.
Take a look at our search engine optimization (SEO) article.

What is Organic Website Traffic?
Organic traffic is the term used to describe the visitors you receive from unpaid search engine listings and directories. Search engines use a method called crawling to map out your website and calculate its relevance. Crawling begins on the index page of your website and follows with the internal pages of your site, this information is then indexed in the search engine database. A well built website is like a road map for the indexing search engine. The more accurate your road map is, the more people will find you.
Websites built on the dbCanvas platform are naively search engine friendly. They provide an optimized structure for guiding the search engine crawler through you site. The dbCanvas CMS additionally provides you with search engine optimized tools for publishing content. When you put properly formatted content on our system, you will see the same positive results that many of our customers have grown to expect. |
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. Learn more about optimizing your dbCanvas site in our Website Marketing Guide.

Beware of SEO Scams
Many clients come to us stating that they pay another company monthly for Search Engine Submission and Optimization. These same clients say that they are not getting the results that they think they should. In every case we've advised that the client discontinue the SEO service they're paying for, in every case their performance has improved!
Submitting your site to search engines every month does nothing for your sites positioning, in many cases it actually damages the listing as multiple submissions are often considered as spam. A site only needs to be submitted 1 time, the search engines will continually come back if your site structured properly. Most sites fail because they do not have valid HTML code, the Internet is full of sites like this. Many companies that offer SEO services will submit a site to search engines without even making sure that the HTML content is valid and without having relative Page Titles and Key Words. Do not fall prey to one of these companies, they only cost you money and waste valuable time that could be spent achieving your positioning goals.
dbCanvas web sites already have everything you need to control your sites SEO. If you need your site submitted to search engines for the first time then please contact us and we'll be happy to provide this service for a fee. You can also learn more about optimizing your dbCanvas site in our Website Marketing Guide. |
